35. Why You SHOULDN'T Start a Podcast (and 4 Reasons You Should) [RE AIR]
This week, we're re-airing our very first (and most popular) episode of the Podcircle Podcast. If you're new to the show, we wanted to introduce ourselves by going back to the very beginning and asking maybe the most important question — why should I (or shouldn't I) start a podcast?
You’ve got an idea to share, a message to spread, or customers to reach, and you’re ready to start! Podcasting has the potential to meet your goals and beyond. Did you know that only 21% of podcast achieve more than 10 episodes? So before you press record, check out why we think you shouldn’t start a podcast and the four reasons we think you should.
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T START A PODCAST
1:11 You want quick results
3:54 You want people to find your podcast organically
6:51 You don't know what you're about
8:55 You're trying to do it all yourself
WHY YOU SHOULD START A PODCAST
13:48 You want to increase brand awareness and loyalty
17:00 You have a product or service to talk about
19:55 You want to establish yourself as an authority in your space
20:47 You want to network with others in your field
