[01:05] Podcasts often have listeners with high rates of income. [01:20] Do most people have time to create podcasts? [01:35] It is not realistic for most people to create a podcast. [01:45] Figure out your personality: if you love video, do that. If you prefer writing, write blogs. If you are a great speaker, podcast! [02:30] The biggest factor for success is hiring out/offloading the work. [03:15] Neil loves blogging and is good at it. It comes more naturally to him. [03:35] Eric prefers podcasting. [04:05] You’re not going to like the quality of the podcast early on, but if you keep it up, you will improve. [04:30] Make sure you have expertise in the field about which you are speaking. [05:02] The average podcast gets 191 downloads per month. [05:10] It takes times to build an audience. [05;27] Record in batches, don’t just do one per day. [05:30] That’s it for today!
