b'Today we review the Photo Business Exposed Podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ultimate-portrait-wedding/id620299393?mt=2&uo=4&at=10l5Go)\\xc2\\xa0(at photobizx.com (http://www.photobizx.com))\\xc2\\xa0by\\xc2\\xa0\\xc2\\xa0Andrew Hellmich. This is a podcast for people who are doing photography professionally and are looking to grow their business. The podcast has received a ton of 5 star reviews in iTunes and I was worried about reviewing it (as I appeared on an episode (http://photobizx.com/how-and-why-to-start-a-podcast-for-your-wedding-or-portrait-photography-business/)). Luckily, I didn\\u2019t find much room for improvement. Here is the break down.\\nCould Improve?\\nAt the beginning of the show there is a bit of hiss. Not a ton, and under most circumstances you wouldn\\u2019t even know it. It sound like Andrew is using a noise gate which takes the noise down to zero when nobody is talking. For me this typically draws my attention to it. Once the interview started, it seemed to go away.\\nI like the small bit of chit cat at the beginning (I typically want all chit chat to tie in with the podcast topic, but this was brief). He then went into subscribing to the podcast using other tool like iTunes, stitcher, etc. I would move this toward the end. It was 6 minutes before he got to the interview, and you hadn\\u2019t given them any \\u201creal\\u201d information to make them go, \\u201cWow I want more of this in the future.\\u201d This would be something to do at the end.\\nWhile he has links to iTunes and Stitcher, he needs a regular RSS button (for those on android, or other platforms that the ultimate flexibility \\u2013 and this is what I use to put a player on this website). I forgot to mention this on the podcast.\\nWhat He Did Correct?\\nGood name \\u2013 its obvious.\\nGreat looking website using the Avana (http://themeforest.net/item/avada-responsive-multipurpose-theme/2833226?WT.ac=solid_search_item&WT.seg_1=solid_search_item&WT.z_author=ThemeFusion&ref=jammindave) theme that was east to navigate, and lots of great pictures. I liked that when you go to listen to the podcast, the subscribe buttons are more obvious.\\nGreat audio levels, and proper ID3 tags.\\nIt wasn\\u2019t a giant commercial for his membership site, and he gave a full interview to his audience. He didn\\u2019t stop mid interview and go \\u201cIf you want the rest, you need to join.\\u201d Instead we got a full interview and if you want to go\\xc2\\xa0deeper into the topics, you can sign up for $10 at his membership site.\\nHe asked good questions, and let his guest reveal great information. He\\xc2\\xa0listened and didn\\u2019t try to inject his opinion. I felt like he was asking the questions his audience would want him to ask. The guest spelled things out in a clear to understand, easy to act on, manner.\\nHe is building an email list. As there is a business behind this podcast (his membership site) this is a good idea.\\nIf you are into photography (and maybe if you\\u2019re just looking to grow your business) you can gleam alot of information out of this podcast.\\nFind his podcast at\\xc2\\xa0photobizx.com (http://www.photobizx.com)\\xc2\\xa0and in iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ultimate-portrait-wedding/id620299393?mt=2&uo=4&at=10l5Go)and Stitcher (http://stitcher.com/s?fid=33614&refid=stpr).'
