#002: How Much Does It Cost to Start a Podcast


Listen Later

Like so many new podcasters, in the beginning I was relying on my most *trusted* mentors – Google and YouTube for all my advice on podcasting. 

The funny thing is, today the first result when I Google “How much does it cost to start a podcast?” is a Forbes article that says starting a podcast could cost anywhere from $20 to $5,000?! That a huge range, and while it’s fairly accurate, that's probably not  the answer you were hoping for.

My best advice is to remember it's okay to grow with your podcast and invest more as your audience and opportunities grow. Don't let the cost stop you from starting. After all, some of the most successful podcasts start with nothing but a great idea and a passion for sharing it!

In this episode:
(0:02) Exploring the varied costs and equipment for different types of podcasters.
(4:35) The critical step you should take before buying equipment.
(8:29)  Equipment recommendations for beginners and professionals.
(14:48) Podcasting equipment and setup.
(16:00) How I almost ruined one of my biggest podcast opportunities by not having the right equipment.
(20:00) Podcast hosting, editing and virtual recording costs.
(23:12) What actually matters when you start podcasting.

If you enjoy the show and you want to help more business owners and podcasters make money with their podcast will you give me a 5-star review? It helps the show rankings and gives more listeners an opportunity to find the show. Thank you!
