Episode #13 -iPhone madness has been sweeping the nation again, this time with the new iPhone 3G.  For once, a product that lives up to the hype (IMHBAO - in my humble but accurate opinion).  I also mention another unusual cellphone that you might not be familiar with - there’s a great marketing lesson in there too.  Let me know what you think of the new trailer for the show, we had a lot of fun putting that together.

The viewer question relates to how to implement back end sales from an ebook product.  The Nifty Click relates to how to choose a reliable webhost, and the big lesson comes from online shoe company Zappos.com - keep your wife away from this site, it’s a money pit for women ;).  Seriously, what a great online company to model, and I’ll tell you a couple of reasons why.
