How to Start a Podcast: The Ultimate Modern Podcasting Guide (eBook)

Podcasting: Your Microphone is Waiting. Are You Ready?

Think everyone has a podcast already? Think again. While the medium is mature, the audience is bigger than ever. Over 100 million people in the U.S. listen to podcasts monthly, and that number is steadily climbing.

But here’s the secret: the podcasting landscape has evolved. What worked in 2015 won’t cut it today. The key to breaking through the noise isn't just a great idea—it's a modern podcasting strategy.

That’s exactly why we created the "Modern Podcasting" eBook. This isn’t a rehash of outdated advice. It’s your definitive guide to launching, growing, and sustaining a podcast in today's competitive and exciting environment.

 

Why "Modern" Podcasting is Different (And Why You Need a New Guide)

Gone are the days of just plugging in a USB microphone, recording a chat, and uploading it to iTunes. Modern podcasting is strategic, audience-centric, and multi-platform. It involves:

• Video Podcasting: Leveraging YouTube and social video clips to reach a massive new audience.

• Strategic Discoverability: Understanding how to actually be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.

• Authentic Monetization: Moving beyond basic ads to memberships, courses, and strategic partnerships.

• Professional-Quality Audio (and Video): Listeners have high standards; poor quality is an instant rejection.

Our eBook is built from the ground up to address these modern realities.
