004: How to Avoid My Mistakes When Starting a Podcast Part 2
I decided to “cookbook” my way through starting up a podcast. The key takeaways for part 2 are:
1. Mistake #5: Do not go it alone when syndicating your podcast. I used Podcasters on Spotify (was Anchor.FM)
2. Mistake #6: Do not deviate from the Getting Started on Spotify (or your platform of choice).
3. Mistake #7: Do not try to just talk or just interview. Write an outline at least.
4. Mistake #8: Do not use expensive DAW software. Audacity is free!
5. Mistake #9: Do not assume you need an expensive microphone.
6. Mistake #10: Do not edit your podcast yourself. Ok, you can, but it can be very difficult. I recommend and am an affiliate of Resound.FM.
7. Mistake #11: Do not ignore having a plan for monetization.
8. Mistake #12: Do not be afraid to dig deeper and have fun!
