Budget your time around editing

We’ll have an entire FREE virtual summit on that in October, and some of the people in this thread are speaking at it 😊 Get on our waitlist!

Don’t start it during a Mercury retrograde!

Do it. And then, keep doing it. Consistency and persistence is key.

For an honest dose of the job: Roles of podcasting Planning/creating Scripting Recording Editing Production Publishing Marketing Be prepared to wear many hats or learn how to delegate

The ‘advice’ that I give anyone who says they’re interested in starting a podcast is to go Facebook and Instagram live for 20 days in a row and find out if you still have something to talk about after 20 days and are willing to show up for that commitment consistently.

Hey 👋🏾I’m a podcast producer and I’m always looking for ways to support POC podcasters. Feel free to DM me if you wanna schedule a 30 min call to chat through any fears/hesitations holding you back. You can find my background/credentials here: http://www.depthandcandor.com/expertise

Don’t spend your time asking random strangers on the internet for advice.

I would start by reading books & articles about podcasting. I would also send out some surveys to people I know asking what kind of stuff they would like to hear on your podcast.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew, take a realistic look at your schedule and obligations. I believe it’s OK to start simple & grow; the best case scenario is your audience will grow with you. I think a lot of people try to take on too much, not realizing the time it takes to draft, prepare, find people, record, edit, & promote. I’m happy with my current format & pace; so far it’s working because I’m not burned out after 16 episodes and I’m knocking on 900 downloads less than 90 days.
