Podcast Workflows - Tips for podcasters to grow their podcast without wasting time.

Have you ever thought, "I don't have time to podcast," ?

When I ask people what’s stopping them from launching or continuing their show, this is the number one concern I'm told.

Podcasting is definitely time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to take up all your time! There are a few things you can do to clear time on your calendar:

Start small. You don’t need a 2-hour podcast to start. One of the longest-running, most popular podcasts, Stuff You Should Know, started with 6-minute episodes.

You don’t need to coordinate guests for every episode. Mix in some solo episodes. Those are easier to schedule and easier to edit.

Block time. If you have “podcasting” on your calendar at the same time every week, it will be easier to keep that schedule.

Batch. Set time aside to make more than one episode per week. Then you have some margin, can take a break, and choose to podcast because you want to, not because you feel you have to.

These are small, measurable steps you can make on the way to podcast consistency. 

And remember - consistency isn't every day or every week. It's predictability!
