FBP 022: Podcasting – Top 10 Reasons Why You Start Your Own Show Now

by Marv de Leon on May 29, 2014

FBP 022-Podcasting

Yes, I admit.  I am a podcast addict.  Since discovering podcasts sometime last year, I have been consuming podcasts during my daily grind – going to and from work.  You could say that I consume about 10-12 hours of podcasts a week.  In fact,  I have written a blog post about why you should listen to podcasts.  It’s the in thing now.  Would you like to get left behind?

However, for this episode, I turn the tables around and discuss why a freelancer, a solopreneur, a blogger or anyone with something to say and contribute to the world should start a podcast NOW.  Yes, right NOW!

Also, I give you some of the most popular Pinoy podcasts today and my favorite one that got me started podcasting.

Here we go.

Top 10 Reasons Why You Start Your Own Show Now

1. Growth of smart phones and tablets coupled with faster internet speeds.

2. Easy to create – you just a mic and laptop.

3. Easy to deliver – the value of the subscription model.

4. Fits this generation’s on-demand lifestyle.

5. Low cost, low risk.

6. Real-time feedback and statistics.

7. Global reach.

8. Less crowded than blogs.

9. Easy for natural talkers and conversationalists.

10. Deeper engagement with your audience.

Bonus: 11. Builds instant authority and credibility.
