  SPEAKER_00: All right, let's get to the main content for today's episode.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: In yesterday's episode, we talked about the power of being a guest on other people's podcasts.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: And today we will turn the tables and talk about the importance of starting your very own podcast.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Podcasting is powerful and it's also inexpensive and a great way to build an audience and share your ideas.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: One of the big advantages of podcasting over video is that people can listen to podcasts while they're doing other things like walking, driving, or doing chores.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: People also listen to podcasts for much longer than they view videos.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's not unusual for a listener to tune into a podcast for an hour or two every week.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: And when you're in somebody's ears for that much time, when you're in their head, they develop an intimate relationship with you as a listener.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: And you don't have to do a podcast about writing necessarily.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: You can do a podcast about any topic that you're interested in.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think podcasting is a phenomenal way to build a relationship with your listeners and your readers and to establish your credibility and expertise on your topic.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're writing books about business, you could do a business-related podcast.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: If you're doing books about uh parenting, do a parenting related podcast.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's a really, really fantastic way to build your audience and deliver lots and lots of value to people in a way that they're going to consume a lot of.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: So tons and tons of reasons why you should consider doing a podcast.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, you're listening to this episode right now, so you already believe in the power of podcasting.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: So give that some thought.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: And if you have any questions about podcasting, I'm not necessarily, you know, the world's biggest expert on it, but I have been doing it for almost 10 years and um I've made a lot of mistakes and I've also had some successes as well.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: So feel free to shoot me an email.
• 3:44
