I love audio. I listen to music, podcasts, webinars, meditations myself. I started my podcast years ago because I was hosting a lot of webinars- hundreds and loved it. Podcasting was a way to reach more people. Initially, I wanted to help as many people as I could to be happier every day and to live inspiring lives. I started podcasting in 2010 using audioacrobat. I then linked it to itunes. I didn't even realize that I had days with lots of downloads. I wasn't tracking it. I was just having fun. Recently, I changed my format to much shorter episodes like ten to fifteen minutes instead of an hour. I still might do an hour, depending on the topic. It didn't take me long to release my podcast. I already had a library of webinar recordings on audio acrobat that were appropriate for a podcast.

I fund my podcast through my coaching business. I try to be consistent. Sometimes doing a new episode each week, then six weeks will go by before another one. I get inspired and the content shows up for me. I usually write a bullet list of what I want to talk about. Most often I get it right the first time I record, sometimes I will redo. I do a lot of public speaking, so this is probably not the norm for most people. I record using an app on my phone, then edit on my phone, then upload to audio acrobat and publish it to my podcast. In the past, I used audacity to edit, but the phone apps are so great and easy now. Recently, I hired an actress, Joanna Sanchez to do my show intro voice over. I promote my podcast on my blog, to my email list, to my facebook groups and on social media. I look at podcasting as part of my outreach for my vision of helping people.

Podcasting gives an additional resource for people on my email list. It also brings in new people to my list. Sometimes when I post a new podcast, I will have someone immediately sign up for a coaching package because the podcast topic resonated so much. I don't have sponsors. I promote my own bramd. Podcasting helps me deepen the relationship with current subscribers and reach new people. The most popular podcast for 2018 so far was How to Stop Self-Sabotage.

Even though I have a professional conferencing microphone for my laptop, I use an app called Voice Recorder on my Samsung Galaxy 8# phone. My podcast is audio.Then I use Audio mp3 Editor App on my phone to trim and mix. Then I save the audio to my Dropbox- from there, I upload to audioacrobat. I publish my podcast through audioacrobat which also connects it to itunes. My podcast is not generally an interview show, but I have done some interviews. I held 13 telesummits with 200 total interviews over 4 years and used some of the best interviews as features on my podcast. I reached out to colleagues to secure those interviews, most people said yes.

My show is on itunes, and publishing through audio acrobat, I have it set to syndication, so it shows up in some surprising places. I market it to my email list, on facebook, google plus, twitter, pinterest, instagram, and on my blog. The most effective is facebook groups and my email list. However, it is a huge plus to have it on itunes.

My advice is to go for it. But first, know who you are, understand your message and understand your potential listeners - think about who your optimal listener is. This helps you create a cohesive message. Overall, have fun. I look at my podcasting as a fun part of my business.
