For Podcasting Basics - Part 1 of 6, Jen Amos tests her offer of free podcasting consultation services in exchange for feedback and permission to record the sessions for her podcast portal. She discusses how people often assume her advice is free, which can catch her off guard. Now she is using these consultations to create additional educational content for her portal. This recording provides tips like recording consultations for marketing purposes even if unrelated to your main product. Jen hopes that providing value through podcasting advice helps build trust in her and her company's services over time. Her goal is to help others while also gathering useful feedback and repurposing the consultations into more content for her listeners.
