The verdict is in. The new wave which isn’t so new is A U D I O. According to the guru’s such as Gary Vaynerchuk and Pat Flynn a great way to get your business exposure is by sharing your voice with the world and giving great value.
Step #1 Choose a Podcast Host
Here are some of the best free [kinda] hosting
Soundcloud [I use]
Buzzsprout
Spreaker
There are a whole bunch more but the gist of many of them you want a place to store your audio with a RSS Feed and most free hosting gives you 2 to 5 hours of free hosting before you will have to pay a fee to store your audio for you podcast.
Step #2 Get a set up
A microphone or lapel mic
Blue Ice mic – https://amzn.to/2YFXAJ4 [use with laptop or computer]
Lapel min – https://amzn.to/2YDYl5B [use with phone]
Choose a recording soft ware
Search on your laptop for “recording” in the search bar of your computer and there is probably a built in software or if you use your phone you can download a recording app.
You can eventually add more but to start this is enough
Step #3 Upload podcast host
In the beginning only upload 2 podcast episodes to your host for the sake of getting through directory approval quicker. While waiting to be approve go and work on step #5
Step #4 Add your podcast to a popular directory. Some directories will want to review your podcast. Best suggestion add 1 to 2 episodes so that you can get through the review process quick they are reviewing for the type of content you will produce
