In this week’s podcast - recorded some time ago - we speak to Chris Hitchen from Getprice - an Australian price comparison website launched late October 2006. We talk about how he came up with the idea and how he then saw that through to getting the site built to becoming Australia’s leading website in price comparison.
The site is based on the idea that retailers pay a cost-per-lead that ranges from 25 cents to $1 for each time a consumers clicks from Getprice to the retailer’s website.
Chris is a pretty grounded guy with a background in business development and strategy and has a great story to tell about how he came about building the site into what it is today. We aimed to keep this show pretty tight and please let us know if it works better for you or you want more.
This week Bronwen Clune and Elias Bizannes talk to the fabulous Mick Liubinskas. There are not many people in Australia who have the sort of web industry experience that Mick Liubinskas and his business partner Phil Morle have, both having been involved in Kazaa and a number of Australian start-ups. Earlier this year, Mick and Phil launched Pollenizer - an advisory firm to help start-ups grow.
We talk to Mick about some of the basics involved in setting up and running a start-up and look at some of the issues that can plague those of us involved in this business, such as launching versus testing. Mick has done a post on this on the Pollenizer blog - which you should definitely add to your RSS. Mick’s advise is always practical and punchy so I hope you persevere through some of the jumpy sound and listen to the full interview. (We may have a Skype solution to hold on to your hats!)
