Interview with Joel Welsh from StartupNation

A few days ago, I was invited to be interviewed as a guest on the StartupNation community podcast. StartupNation is a radio show, series of podcasts and a website, with articles covering many aspects of starting and maintaining a business. There are forums which I’ve learned quite a lot from, and they just launched the StartupNation Marketplace, where people can list their services, or post their requests for services without any fees. In the podcast, Joel and I discuss some ideas for enhancing the StartupNation site. It was an honor to have been invited and I thank Joel and StartupNation for the opportunity.

To listen to the podcast, or subscribe to the RSS feed visit this page, or you can download the mp3 by cutting and pasting this link into any browser (https://tinyurl.com/28tgsl). Joel Welsh asked me to choose a few of my favorite songs from the Podsafe Music Network, and at the end of the podcast, you’ll hear Jennifer Richman’s song “Beautiful Girl,” which I first heard on one of my favorite podcasts, C.C. Chapman’s U-Turn Cafe.

There’s a short video on the bottom left of this page which gives a good overview of what StartupNation is all about. The founders of StartupNation are Jeff and Rich Sloan. They wrote a book entitled StartupNation, Open for Business. I’ve read it and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get good advice for starting or expanding a business, or for those who have an idea or invention that they believe should be on the market. Jeff and Rich Sloan also do a syndicated radio show, which features interviews with business leaders, questions from budding entrepreneurs and “elevator pitches” from callers.

The podcast feed has many of the recent shows, plus additional podcast-only shows. They recently did an “elevator pitch” contest, which I found entertaining and informative.

There’s an index of radio shows on this page, dating back to January, 2005. In my opinion, the information and suggestions never really go out of date (Napolean Hill is a good example of that).

All the best,

-Andrew

THE IMAGING BUFFET PODCAST 006

Hello! I recently wrote a newsletter that contains news, tips and info about some of the fiber-based semi-gloss and gloss papers on the market. There are also some links to info on inexpensive hard drives, Apple Aperture and the announcement of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0.

This podcast contains no audio or video. Though not commonly done, many types of media can be distributed via the same method as podcasts, including PDFs, and that’s what I’m sending out in this podcast. I normally don’t post my newsletters as articles, but I’ve made an exception with this one.
In the newsletter, there is an announcement for a free workshop at a professional photo lab in Middlesex, NJ. It’s being held next Tuesday, February 6. Below is the direct link to the newsletter online, with active hyperlinks:

All the best,

17 Newsgroups and Forum Sites for Learning More About Inkjet Printing

I was recently asked on a Yahoo!Groups newsgroup where people can learn more about large format printing, so I put together this list of groups to which I subscribe, and modified it slightly for this post.

These are all good newsgroups to consider joining, or websites with forums to consider reading and/or joining to learn about people’s experiences with printing and to hear opinions on many topics related to digital art and imaging. Some are very specific to a particular type of printer, brand or software.

After joining and prior to posting any messages, I recommend reading the list rules and checking the archives to make sure that your question has not already been answered. Also, you have the option of choosing “No e-mail” for your Yahoo!Groups messages, which means that you can go online to read messages, but none will be sent to your e-mail address. I prefer getting my messages sent via single messages to an e-mail account, but that means that I receive at least 100 every day from my 80+ groups.

There are Yahoo!Groups for many different interests, and the main page is here. Another advantage of Yahoo!Groups is that you can run a newsletter in which only you can post to the group. That’s how I currently send out my Inkjet & Imaging Tips Newsletter, which you can see a screen shot of below, and learn more about here.

I am one of the moderators of the DigitalFineArt Newsgroup, so I proudly listed that one first:

Enjoy the Groups and Websites!
