Membership Sites vs Patreon [17:28]

Some people hate membership sites

Some people hate paypal

Some people will ONLY use paypal

Patreon has the ability to do a per episode, or a monthly setup.

Memberships sites require you to keep on making new content (that's why I love digital access pass as their drip feature ROCKS)

Don't build on rented property.

You need to ask for the sale no matter where you go.

Membership sites are not entirely set it and forget it

Dave uses Rhino Suppport for his website.

In some cases you community can help manage this type of work.

Can I Use the Spreaker RSS for iTunes?[27:28]

You can, but I don't recommend it but I don't recommend them. There is no way to redirect your feed in the event that you want to move away from Spreaker. There are some new settings for the RSS feed in your control panel. I prefer you have your own website and use your Wordpress RSS, or your media hosting (that allows you to redirect) like Libsyn.com or Blubeey.com (use the coupon sopfree to get a free month at either site).

Spreaker As a Distribution to other Sites[46:00]

Spreaker can upload to other sites, but unfortunately it points people back to spreaker.com not your site. I want things to point to MY site.  RSS feed customization tools are new to spreaker. SPreaker may be working on getting live callers into their platform.
