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.

Customer Reviews
3rd Dave Jackson Podcast I listen to.
Dave Jackson works at Libsyn. He actually handled one of my podcasting problems on an official Libsyn support ticket. Heroes of Science Fiction and Fantasy benefited greatly from listening to 3 of Dave Jackson’s podcasts from August 2023- into 2024. I binged at least a few episodes a day while at work. I know this review does not help Dave get found easier, -cause Dave said that on a podcast. Reviews and ratings was a way to show my appreciation for his 5 Star podcasts.
Consistent Quality and Value
Dave Jackson’s podcasts about podcasting are at the top when it comes to learning everything you need to know about producing your own show. As a former teacher myself, I really appreciate someone who takes the time to share their knowledge in a way that’s both entertaining and easily understandable.
Dave Jackson provides wealth of Podcast info
I’ve been listening to Dave Jackson’s multiple podcast shows for about a year. If you want to learn to podcast, he is the real deal.
