How To Podcast

Learning to Podcast



As you've learned by now, there is work involved in getting started with podcasting and video blogging. Fortunately, it won't always feel like such hard work - otherwise, fewer people would be doing it. There will come a point, when you've learned all of the 'ins and outs' involved, where you will actually enjoy podcasting and video blogging, and actually even look forward to doing it.

The key to success in both ventures is to make sure that what you are producing is of high quality. Remember that anybody can easily create podcasts and video blogs, but what sets your apart from everyday podcasts and video blogs is the quality.

Quality matters in all things, from the content, to the delivery, to the quality of the audio/video, and even to the quality of the website where those things are delivered. It all matters, because your reputation matters -and your reputation will absolutely be affected by the quality of the work that you put out there in the public.

You may start to feel like all of the learning, work, and frustration isn't worth it, if you don't catch on easily - but it is indeed worth it. If it weren't, there again wouldn't be so many people doing it. It does work, and receiving information and entertainment via podcast and video blog has become the norm worldwide. As mentioned earlier, although it may seem like a great deal of time is spent putting together the perfect podcast and an outstanding video for your blog, the majority of your time will actually be spent in promoting the podcast or vlog.


Make it all as easy as possible by having the right tools for the job. These are discussed at the beginning of Parts II and III, but it cannot be said enough. Get a good microphone that has noise canceling features and get a good webcam, or a good digital video camera. Get good editing software that makes life easier. The software that has been strongly recommended in this ebook, for both podcasting and video blogging is Internet Audio and Video. This is great software because it virtually includes everything that you need for podcasting and video blogging, with the exception of external hardware (microphone and camera). You will be hard pressed to find anything else that will work for both, at a better price, with the same or even more features.
