As many of you know, launching a podcast has never been easier, thanks to all the technology available now as well as the number of courses, reports and tutorials on how to get started! However, the REAL challenge is keeping it going. Producing episodes for a weekly show (or whatever frequency your show is releasing ) coming up with content, recording, editing, etc is time-consuming.
The honest truth? It’s hard work, y’all!
After the excitement of launching your podcast wears off, you quickly realize that it is a larger time commitment than you initially anticipated. Welcome to Podfade and the reason why so many podcasters become victims to it.
Of course, you can be a one-woman show with a bit of organization but your other option is to hire an editor.
A good podcast editor can save you HOURS of time each week by handling the editing, and uploading your show. Some editors also function as podcast producers and can help writing show notes, uploading your show to your podcast host, and do many other podcast-related tasks!
So, let’s tackle the inexperience, fatigue, and intimidation that holds you back from growing your influence and impact.
Listen in to learn more about :
- It’s important to clearly understand and define what responsibilities you would like to hand over to an editor.
- Communication is key. Invest time and money in your editor and they will take care of you.
- By using an experienced editor, your episode will sound better and be completed faster than you can.
- Remember, You get what you pay for.
