When You SHOULD NOT Start a Podcast
Hey there, podcasters! In this episode of Your Podcast Consultant, I delve into an important topic: why you should hold off on starting a podcast until you have a clear vision for your content. Drawing from my extensive 18 years of podcasting experience, I highlight the potential pitfalls of investing in expensive equipment too soon and stress the value of developing compelling podcast ideas first. I share real-life examples and offer practical advice on how to approach podcast planning, launching, and monetization. Plus, we feature a testimonial from Mark Lawley of Practical Prepping that underscores the impact of strategic podcasting. Join me, Dave Jackson, as I guide you through the essential steps to podcasting success.
