Welcome to Wood Talk for Woodworkers by Woodworkers.

Now here are three guys who are actually under the illusion that

woodworking is cool. Mark, Matt, and Shannon.

All right, it is Wood Talk,

what the heck is the number?

Shoot.

342.

342. 342.

And it's a weekend show. And we are going a little bit off topic today we're going to talk about the pitfalls of an online business and this is something that is it's very ripe the wound is still open there's currently still granules of salt being poured in and it's hurting me and I need to talk about it a little bit.

I'm still thinking about the topic or the title from like two weeks ago was like the fart in the wind thing yeah

and he says really ripe that I could have it could have applied last week as well

so you know which when that episode came out I kept forgetting that Siri doesn't tie to the

podcast app so I kept trying to make her say you know fart in the win asking her to play

the Wood Talk episode yeah and she wouldn't do it because she

wasn't playing a long podcast yeah it was really taking me off series a jerk

okay so the reason this is fresh on my mind and like the bigger topic here that we're going to be talking

about are pitfalls of running an online business and why this is fresh in my mind is because

I've recently if you haven't heard had my secondary channel offcuts taken down by YouTube.

And this is something that I kind of harp on all the time.

And whether it is, I'm trying to think, it's usually content ID issues that come up when I post a video and I'm told that I don't have the right to use that piece of music which I have the right to use that I go into that mode of my gosh why am I wasting my time like with this why why did I choose this like house of cards on which to build my business

Which is really what it feels like sometimes when you're running a business and you find out that so many other entities have control over your destiny and your success or failure that it starts to feel like man are we going about this the right way so that there are tons of

pitfalls that we can run into and we'll go into detail on just little things off the top of our heads
