The Power of the Long Tail

Seth Godin explores the concept of the long tail and how it has been transformed by the internet. He discusses how limited shelf space in traditional retail stores led to a focus on hits, but with the advent of online platforms like Amazon and iTunes, the long tail has become a powerful force. Godin emphasizes the importance of owning the long tail rather than just living on it, and how creators can find success by targeting specific audiences instead of seeking mass appeal.
