Ted Rheingold of Dogster & Catster chats about the Challenge of Building and Monetizing an Online Community
For this podcast I was lucky enough to sneak into the packed schedule of Ted Rheingold, the founder of Dogster and Catster, two online communities built around people's passions for their pets. The networks have grown dramatically since they were founded in 2004 and now feature over 1.5 million pictures of 300,000 different pets.
Ted was nice enough to discuss what surprised him the most during the growth of the networks, the challenges he faces today, the advantage of anonymity in online participation, the monetization obstacles of niche media and more.
Enjoy!
