Why Did You Start Podcasting?

Send us feedback/questions via TextToday we have one question and that is, "Why did you start podcasting?" We also hear about the never ending saga of Dave and his Amazon associates account. We also talk about interacting with your audience via facebook, and using email lists. We talk about Jim's coaching podcast a bit to get some insights into doing a live show with a large audience. Dave's Amazon Update 14:00In digging deeper, and deeper into the terms of agreement I found, “For example, you must include your Associates ID or “tag” (appearing as XXXXX-20, or such other format as we may designate) as a parameter in the URL of each link you place on your site to the Amazon Site. In addition, you must not use a link shortening service in a manner that makes it unclear that you are linking to an Amazon Site.”Chat Wing Discussion 25:00Jim talks about having another podcast to help bounce ideas off of, and challenge each other to do better podcasts. Steve Stewart [28:30]Steve Stewart feels he is on a mission to help people get out of debt (he's been doing this since 2007). We talk about how Steve came up with his tagline on episode 29. Reflections on Episode 400 of the School of Podcasting [35:35]Jim talks about Dave's episode 400. Jim thought Dave did a good job of showing his progression of his growth over the years. He didn't go overboard patting himself on the back, and thought it was very creative. We all should be morphing out shows over time. He liked the interview and appreciated that I had stepped out of my comfort zone. Why Shouldn't You Podcast? [41:24]Dave has been looking at his stats from his Survey, and the number one reason people are starting podcasts is to make money. Ryan Parker joins us to talk about who making money is not a bad thing, but it should not be the single reason why someone is starting a podcast. TAKE THE POLLFeatured Supporter of the Week Glenn HebertCheck out Glenn's Horse Radio Network: Free Podcasts for Every Horse Enthusiasthttps://www.horseradionetwork.com/ Start a Podcast In Six Weeks Weekly classes.
