What would’ve made it easier/What would you have changed?
“I think I’d probably talk to a few more people who have done it before.”
“If I was going to start all over again, I would plan my content in advance so I would know exactly which steps I would like to deliver for each podcast. I would potentially intersperse it with advice for one podcast, the next would be an interview, advice in the next one, and the next one as an interview, so listeners get a variety”.
How complicated is it to do a Stand-alone Podcast?
“Obviously, it is hard to be a popular podcast, I am sure, because you need a certain number of downloads and you’ve got to be really regular”.
What are the most important things to consider?
“Find out how many podcasts you really need to upload at the beginning in order to get noticed.”
“If anyone else is going to do it, definitely do the research first and have a bit more of a plan”.
