#idea-validation
Hey everyone,

I'm starting to build a MVP for this idea, let me know what you think:

It's a free and simple online podcast recorder: you and your guests enter an url, press "start", do the podcast and the service will provide the individual tracks or a mixed one. No apps, no software, no need to pay.

The idea came up when I was looking for an online podcast recorder, the closest free service I found was anchor.fm. Which is pretty cool, but has a lot of complicated and unnecessary features.

I also want to make a VERY permissive free tier. Seriously, there's need to pay to record an audio with friends.

What you think?

    how will this service make money?

    Sell to businesses and save them time on making their podcasts? Maybe

    Sell to nomads who travel a ton and often have access to just their phone? Maybe

    Sell to pro-sumers who make podcasts and are interested in the newest, coolest shit? Maybe.

    Id suggest picking one and modeling around it. Else, you will waste a bunch of time building something no one particular niche will love.

    I was thinking about this before. But haven't answer a few questions below:

    1. How many podcasts are uploaded every month?
    2. What is the proportion of those that were recorded via phone call or other services?
    3. Is my service better than existing services?
    4. If so, how much are they willing to pay?

    I was stuck at 2.
