Podcasting is a powerful way to connect with your audience, build your business and share your message. But without the right tools, it’s also time-consuming and complicated. Let me show you how easy it is to get started as a podcaster in this blog post!
Why Podcasting when there are Blogs, YouTube, and Social Media?
Podcasts are more personal and can be listened to while doing another task, such as driving. Podcasts also have different lengths and can be updated regularly. They are easy to find and use, so finding something relating to your niche is easier than it would be on Youtube. Blogs are more time-consuming and require research and writing, so they take longer to publish.
What is Podcasting?
Podcasting is a way to share information any time, anywhere. It’s also an inexpensive way to make your voice heard in the world. Podcasts are usually audio recordings that can be listened to on the go. They’re often in a podcast app or directly from the content creator. You can find podcasts about all sorts of topics, with some in different languages!
Can I Make Money Podcasting?
Yes, you can make money podcasting. You could earn money through sponsorships, advertisements, product placements, and even donations. Many listeners use Patreon to donate a certain amount of money each month to their favorite podcasts. The most popular podcasts are downloaded millions of times each month and top podcasters can earn up to six figures per year.
How to start a Podcast
You may be wondering how to start a podcast. Well, there is no one simple answer to that. It is a pretty complex process. You should first determine your topic. Who will be your audience? Then you need to research the technical aspects of podcasting and finally, you will need to create your podcast.
Recording, Editing and Hosting Your Show
To start your own podcast, you will need a computer and microphone. You can use Skype or FaceTime to record your voice. To edit, you can use GarageBand on an Apple computer. Some people use Audacity for editing but it is not recommended because it is not as easy to learn how to use. There are also many editing apps available for smartphones that can be used for recording and editing podcasts. It’s necessary to post your podcast on a hosting site like Libsyn so it is available for download on iTunes and Google Play Store.
