I decided to “cookbook” my way through starting up a podcast. The key takeaways for part 2 are:

1. Mistake #5: Do not go it alone when syndicating your podcast. I used Podcasters on Spotify (was Anchor.FM).

2. Mistake #6: Do not deviate from the Getting Started on Spotify (or your platform of choice).

3. Mistake #7: Do not try to just talk or just interview. Write an outline at least.

4. Mistake #8: Do not use expensive DAW software. Audacity is free!

5. Mistake #9: Do not assume you need an expensive microphone.

6. Mistake #10: Do not edit your podcast yourself. Ok, you can, but it can be very difficult. I recommend and am an affiliate of Resound.FM.

7. Mistake #11: Do not ignore having a plan for monetization.

8. Mistake #12: Do not be afraid to dig deeper and have fun!

I decided to “cookbook” my way through starting up a podcast. The key takeaways for part 1 are:

1. Mistake #1: Do not start recording audio right away.

2. Mistake #2: Do not go forward without a topic, goal or domain of knowledge.

3. Mistake #3: Do not assume you can host your podcast files anywhere.

a. Squarespace will host a podcast, but do not assume that it (or just any host) will be able to syndicate it correctly.  Use the Podba.se checkup.

4. Mistake #4: Do not ignore podcast terminology.
