Title: Podcasting for Writers: How and Why to Make Podcasting Essential to Your Platform
Price: $119
Description:
As the world of podcasting has gotten bigger and bigger, it has become more and more essential for writers looking to promote themselves and their work.
But how to make podcasting part of your author platform?
Whether you’re curious about the ins and outs of being a guest or everything you need to know to start your own podcast, this class takes you behind the scenes with former San Francisco Writers Conference Program Podcast Director and Host Matthew Félix. Matthew shares what he and other hosts look for in guests, and he dispels the myth that producing a podcast requires advanced technical expertise and cost-prohibitive equipment. He demystifies podcasting and shows you how and why you can—and should—leverage this dynamic, expanding medium to build and boost your author platform.
You will learn how to:
Find and secure guest spots on podcasts
Be an ideal guest before, during, and after an appearance
Develop your own podcast, including your show concept, format, title, logo, and music
Set up your podcast on hosting platforms, on iTunes, and in podcast directories
Produce podcast episodes from start to finish, from preparation to recording, editing, publishing, and promotion
Conduct a great interview
Get even more out of your efforts by including video as part of your offering
Think outside the box to leverage podcasting in other creative ways
During the class, Matthew will also produce a start-to-finish example podcast episode, providing you with a practical, real-time demonstration of many of the principals, platforms, and applications discussed in the session. By the end, you will have a comprehensive understanding of podcasting fundamentals and how to take full advantage of this exciting medium to promote yourself and your work.
This class is for any writer curious about how and why to make podcasting an integral part of their author platform, whether as a guest, a host, or both.
