What this book is about

Do you wish to create and launch a Podcast?

Wish someone gave you an easy-to-follow checklist of things to do, in the exact order, and you could just follow that list, keep checking checkboxes, and come out with a podcast on the other end?

Wish someone would give you a simple system with specific recommendations for microphone and recording and editing software and where to submit your show to and just tell you what to do, instead of giving you 20 different options for everything and leaving you with more questions than answers?

Great! That's EXACTLY what this book helps you do: It shows you How to Start a Podcast in 7 Hours: The Fastest way To Plan, Create, Publish and Launch a Podcast, from scratch, really fast.

This book assumes that you kind of know some of the basics. So if you're like “Hmm, I wonder what a podcast is and whether I should start one?”, then this book is not for you.

But this book is for you if you’re raring to go, just want to dive right in to the actual creation, publishing and launching of a Podcast, and not waste time “preparing for the journey”, and would rather just “get on with the journey”.
The Podcast Launch Checklist in the book will help you with that too. It gives you a list of questions to ask yourself - and answer honestly - before you even think about creating a podcast.

Many books and courses about Podcasting are like a bad super-hero movie, where most of the movie is spent on the “setup” and the boring “back-story” of the hero, and forget to spend time on the actual action and having an interesting plot. This is not one of those books. This book is the very definition of “cutting to the chase” – you know, like the first scene of a James Bond movie.

This book covers everything you need to know to plan, create, publish, launch and promote a podcast – from scratch, really fast.

In this Express Track, which is the fastest way you can launch your podcast, I am going to assume that you already know some of the basics - that this is not a completely new to you, as in, “Hmm, I wonder what a podcast is and if I should start one?”.

This book assumes you kind of have an idea about what you’re going to podcast about, who your audience is, and have some idea for a podcast title - and you just want to dive right into the actual creation, publishing and launch part of it. Even if you’re not fully sure about all of it, the Podcast Launch Checklist will help you with that.

2 Other Pieces of the Puzzle

This book addresses the biggest piece of the podcasting puzzle: Details of how to create, publish and launch a podcast.

But there’re 2 other components here:

1) A whole bunch of myths and untruths floating around in the podcasting space, which can greatly distract you and derail your show.

2) Promoting your podcast once it’s published: There’s a lot of bad advice online about this as well, and most things you read online only scratch the surface.
Which is why I’ve written 2 other books about this, and you can get them both for free as a bonus (see the bonus section towards the beginning of this book).

And I’m doing that because on one hand, I don’t want you to have to buy 2 other books – even though it’s beneficial to me – in order to complete the Podcasting Puzzle. But then I also didn’t want to combine everything into one massive book which tries to be everything to everybody and then gets off-track from the main goal of helping you do one thing very well.

So I just decided to give them both away for free. Just forward the paid receipt for this Kindle book to me and those 2 Kindle books are also yours for free – in PDF form.

<Sidebar>There’s one more piece to the puzzle that I didn’t mention above: Podcast Monetization. I’ll be writing a book about that at some point. But I have links in the book to videos and podcast episodes that I’ve created – including my presentation on stage at Podcast Movement 2018 (the largest conference in the world for Podcasters) – to point you in the right direction about monetizing your podcast.
