What It's About
Today's listener heard an earlier episode about being a hometown expert. Can they successfully replicate the model in their own city?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1544
It’s always fun whenever I hear of a new business or side hustle that starts up from a listener based on one of the case studies we’ve featured. The “Hoboken Girl” story of an online citywide news hub leads a listener to wonder if she can do something similar in her city. What are the prerequisites?"Hi Chris this is Ash from Ashland and yes, people point that out all the time. So it got me thinking about Hoboken Girl from Ep .#902. I live in a mid-sized town/city and I don't think we have anything like this—at least not a single source that's well-curated and frequently updated. Do you think her model is still viable for someone starting today? If so, what's the best plan of action to move forward. Appreciate any help or advice you can give me."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
