Podcast Support: Do You Need a VA or a Podcast Manager?
Starting a podcast sounds simple enough. Record a conversation, edit it, upload it, and you're done.
Except there's a lot happening behind the scenes that you may not know about until you're already in it.
In this episode of Hey! Do I Need a VA?, Rachael, Bree, and LeAnn are joined by Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson of Podcast Your Story Productions to talk about podcasting as a business strategy and the support that can help you make it sustainable.
Julie helps us unpack when it makes sense to guest on podcasts versus starting your own, what actually goes into producing a podcast, and the difference between having a VA support pieces of the process and bringing in a podcast manager or specialist.
In This Episode
- Why Julie recommends guesting before launching your own podcast
- The importance of considering your goals and bandwidth before launching
- Where AI can help with podcast production without replacing your voice
- The behind-the-scenes work new podcasters often don't anticipate
- The difference between podcast support from a VA and a podcast manager
- Choosing tools that work together and can grow with you
- When podcast guesting makes sense as a visibility strategy
- Podcast guest etiquette that can make a big difference
One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that you don't have to start a podcast to use podcasting as part of your business.
Guesting can help you practice talking about your business, build relationships, increase your visibility, and discover whether you even enjoy podcasting before committing to your own show.
If you do decide to launch, get clear on your purpose, your bandwidth, the tools you'll use, and the support you'll need to keep it going.
