Episode notes

In the early days when you first start podcasting, everyday matters. I'm sure he doesn't check daily now, but in the beginning, you will care how many people are listening every single day. That means that people are paying attention and those numbers will tell you, are you on the right track or do you possibly need to change things up? So there's four places that we pay looking at: Google Analytics, Libson, Google Console and social media. If you are serious about creating a stellar podcast from the get go, check out Pat Flynn's power up podcasting or John Lee Dumas's podcasters paradise. Both of these guys offer free resources to get started.

This episode is a long time coming. I get asked A LOT about how to podcast. From the equipment and software I use, to knowing what topics to cover and which guests to feature, to the recording, editing and publishing phase, to how in the world I keep it all organized!

I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing all of it with you today!

I’ve linked you up to all the podcasting equipment and software I use here, but I thought you might like to have a little behind-the-scenes tour of my podcasting studio, too. I did this video a while ago, but I still use the same equipment.

Remember, I chose to invest in better quality equipment from the beginning, but you can still get great audio quality with a less expensive mic and by sitting in a closet to record. Feel free to start simple and get fancy later.

I hope you find this episode packed with value and resources that will help you in your podcasting process.

Wishing you all the best in your podcasting journey.
