One in three Irish people listen to a podcast every month, we are famous for our love of storytelling and this is proving to be true for the 21st century’s newest form of the medium which can be listened to while walking the dog or driving the car.
You can use this medium to help grow your business. A podcast gives you the chance to more deeply engage with existing customers and turn them into enthusiastic brand advocates, but it also gives you the opportunity to reach new potential customers who may not know about your company, but are interested in the specific topic of your podcast.
You can actually start creating your own podcast series for free and it’s easier than you think, starting with just your smartphone with specific apps and software. From there, you can choose to invest in specific cost effective tech and learn how to use more advanced software, moving up to the next level.
But, creating your own podcast will take time to develop ideas and create content while you learn how to use the tools, so before you jump in and start are you up to speed in what will be involved?
