Do The Brave Thing™ Online Business Podcast with Kate Doster

This week we’re asking a listener’s question all about how to start & grow a podcast.

I’m also going to through in the things I wish I knew about podcasting before I started and some mistakes along the way.

In this jam-packed mini-class you’ll know:

- Where podcast fits in your funnels

• How to get more “ear balls” on your show
• Tips for naming your show & creating your cover art
• The best posting scheduling
• All the tech & tools you’ll need to run your podcast where you’re hosting a solo show, interviewing guest or doing a mix
• Setting up your content calendar
• And more.
