Podcasting is an EXPENSIVE hobby — if that's all that it is. In this episode, we're talking about why treating your podcast purely as a hobby is a bad idea. The challenges of time, necessity of research, and the required financial investment in creating and maintaining a high-quality podcast are why most "hobby podcasts" fail — especially for those attempting to do everything on their own. As always, we recommend outsourcing as much as you can (editing, clip creation, etc), but comes with its own costs. Rather, it is important to think of your podcast as a business. Tune and to find out why!

The best way to optimize your time and effectively market your business is to start a podcast. Does that sound counterintuitive? "But I thought maintaining a consistent podcast takes a TON of time..." you might say. It can... but it doesn't have to. And we would argue that it shouldn't. The amount of content that can be produced out of a 30-45 minute podcast episode is astounding and we're going to tell you all about it in this week's episode. That's the value of starting a podcast as a business owner.
