Welcome to Podcast Startup
New podcasters notoriously hesitate to start their podcast. Reasons for the hesitation include feelings of overwhelm, lack of confidence, imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs, and technology.
New podcasters can and do overcome their fear, procrastination and tech phobias. You can too!
If you want to share expertise, dig deep into a special interest, help others, get more visitors to your blog, expand your personal brand, grow your network, then podcasting could be for you–and Podcast Startup can help you get started the right way.
Podcast Startup covers tech (gear and software), hosting, editing, format options, marketing, and more. It’s a program designed to give you the know-how, tools, and resources needed to create, launch, market, and grow a sustainable podcast.
