You won’t be surprised that I’m nudging you to finally start your podcast.

If you’re stalled in your own podcast, you’ve been debating for three years now whether to start one, or you’ve talked yourself out of starting one, but you feel like you could or should, take 20 minutes and listen.

This is everything I would’ve wanted to know before starting my podcast, why I started one, the few must-do’s, how to get moving on zero budget, and what a podcast will do for you.

Four years ago would’ve been the best time to start a podcast. But instead, what you’ve got in front of you is today.

And by the time you finish listening to this one, you’ll be ready to go.

Or you’ll remember the power of this medium and pick up a couple of new tips and tricks to make yours even better.

Make sure you get to the part about the Stir Test.

I can’t wait to hear what you think and what you’ll do next.

I won’t mince words - tenacity is going to be crucial if you’re starting a community today.

There are a number of ways to monetize your thought leadership and expertise that are easier than starting a community.

You have to see it as a startup.

You probably need to love it so much, you’d do it for free, at least at the beginning.

But if you have runway to make it go, realistic numbers of a current audience to share the opportunity with, and hopefully you aren’t going it alone…. You can do it.

But don’t expect it will be easy, fun, of financially worthwhile at the get-go.

Hear why in this quick episode or cruise down the transcript.

(I wish there were a group of folks building community and networks to support each other - if you know of one, or want to convene us, let me know!)

Thanks for reading!

I built our community diyinfluence.com on Circle. Love the platform, and they are constantly building to make it better.
