If you look at the number of people listening to Podcasts monthly, Podcasts are as popular as Twitter with 39 mIllion listeners, even if it doesn't get the same 'Love'. But instead of communicating in impersonal 150 character Tweets, with Power Podcasting, you get right into the head of your target market for as long as they let you. Podcasts are portable — and because of this, they are more personal.
Podcasting helps small business owners establish thought leadership by demonstrating their expertise and industry knowledge....Unless you do a lot of public speaking the thought of getting behind the microphone and talking off the cuff will be somewhat intimidating at first. But don’t let that stop you. Podcasting is an excellent way to hone your speaking skills. It also helps establish you as a thought leader in your area of expertise. Not only that, but you’ll also be recognized as the “go-to” spokesperson for your industry. One tried and true method that works for getting comfortable speaking into a microphone is to get interviewed on other podcasts.
The Ultimate Guide to Podcasting by Lilach Bullock, Co-Founder of Comms Axis. Learn which tools to use to create podcasts and where to promote your podcast
Ileane Smith's insight:
I'm sharing this one because I love any article that encourages people to start a podcast. BUT be cautious of any ULTIMATE podcasting guide that written by someone who doesn't have their own podcast.
For example, take a look at the excellent comment from my friend and fellow podcaster Bryan Goodwin:
Would like to add a couple of points to this article which has some great points. Website, your podcast needs a website. This should be the home base for your podcast and its show notes. If you have a site that uses a CMS like WordPress then you will not have to worry about using something like FeedforAll because WordPress automatically creates that RSS feed. And if you add the Powerpress plugin then you don’t even have to worry about a podcast specific RSS feed. That too is automatic. Also having your own podcast website and not relying on something like podbean that way if they close their doors you will not have to worry about losing your audience. Keep up spreading the word about podcasting!

Output to monitoring devices AND broadcast or recording software can be controlled for each input.
