The Web Design Business Podcast turns 5 today!!! 🎉 What a ride it’s been so far (and I have no plans on slowing down.)For this special milestone, I polled my community Web Designer Pro™ for questions and they delivered, asking some GREAT conversation starters.So in this special, 5 year anniversary podcast episode, I’m dishing out the longest AMA session I’ve done to date at 2 hours!The questions that came in were mainly in 3 categories:Questions about the podcast (including guest selection, favorite episodes and monetization)Questions about the business of web design (including what’s working today and what I would do differently)Questions about online entrepreneurship (including sustainability, what marketing channels are working today and biggest challenge/best biz decision made )So that’s what we dive into (in depth) on this one!I hope you enjoy it and that you get some great takeaways to apply to your web design business and/or online entrepreneurial endeavors.I also want to say a big THANK YOU for listening to the show on Apple, Spotify, etc or watching on YouTube.
