Ecamm Network

Listen to The Flow

Podcasting, especially video podcasting, can be a great way to share your message with the world. There are so many things to learn and do, but it's hard to know where to start if you've never done it before.

Producing a podcast can seem daunting at first; it's easy to feel overwhelmed when you're starting something new. Using a Video First approach with Ecamm Live will make it much easier and save you lots of time.

The Flow is here to help. We'll take you step-by-step through creating a video podcast, from planning and production to promotion and monetization. You'll learn how to build an efficient workflow that will make your content shine, leaving you to focus on creating great content.

This week on The Flow, we're joined Lisa LaPorte to talk all about podcast advertising. Lisa is TWiT's CEO and has been running the TWiT Network since 2008 and runs their advertising program. She is also the host of Host-Read Ads (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...) where she discusses different types of podcast advertising, how they work, and what you need to consider when buying podcasts.

You can learn more about TWiT at https://twit.tv
