How to Start a Podcast Series: Step Nine Mastering Your Podcast Craft

 

Mastery is all about developing the skills and knowledge to become a pro at something. Just like you wouldn't expect a little kid who wants to do gymnastics to compete in the Olympics right away, or a newbie runner to jump into a marathon without training, podcasting takes time and dedication; it’s all about practice, practice, practice!

I’ll share some of my own podcasting ups and downs, including the importance of showing up even when it’s tough. 

We’ll also cover some practical tips and tools to help you keep going:

- Finding a supportive podcasting community for support.

- Investing in continuing education

- Setting goals and finding accountability partners to stay on track.

- Regularly reassess your podcasting goals and strategies.

Finally, I’ll answer two big questions: how long does it take to see podcasting results, and what does it take to build a successful podcast? 

Quotes

 "When you're in community with other like minded podcasters, it spurs you on to try new things. It encourages you to keep going."

"No one expects a four year old who says, "I want to be an Olympic gymnastics girl” to go out onto the floor and do a backhand spring into a back tuck or do the bars right off the bat. That's just not how it works. So it is with podcasting… you have to show up and practice, practice, practice.”
