LEARN TO PODCAST THE SMART WAY WITH PAT FLYNN

So you’d like to start a podcast? Awesome. Starting a podcast is one of the best ways to build an audience and grow your business (even from scratch), but the process of getting started can feel daunting. What equipment and software should you use? How do you land interviews with big-name guests? How do you get your show loaded into iTunes? And even after your show goes live, how are you going to make sure people find it?

My name is Pat Flynn, and I’m going to help you cut through the confusion to not only learn how to properly plan and launch your podcast but make sure it gets found too.

In Power-Up Podcasting, I will walk you step-by-step through the entire process. With high-quality videos (that aren’t too long) and examples along the way, you’ll have your new podcast up and running in no time, and you can start growing your audience soon.
