Start with Why

“Instead of asking, “WHAT should we do to compete?” the questions must be asked, “WHY did we start doing WHAT we’re doing in the first place,

and WHAT can we do to bring our cause to life considering all the technologies and market

opportunities available today?”

― Simon Sinek, Speaker & Author

Why Podcasting?

A podcast provides an alternative media

channel

There are some people who prefer reading blogs. Others prefer listening to podcasts. Often, these are very different audiences.

A podcast provides another way for

people to discover you

A podcast gives you visibility in a completely different world—primarily iTunes. Some may stumble onto you in iTunes or at the recommendation of another podcaster.

A podcast provides a more intimate way for your fans to engage

with youMost people listen to podcasts using headphones or earbuds. It doesn’t get more intimate than talking directly into someone’s ear. You can communicate with greater nuance than print offers alone.
