Jessica Knows: Anything else you want to add?
Sharon: I love podcasting! It’s a wonderful complement to my blog and I’m meeting so many interesting and inspiring people through my weekly interviews. I’ve also entered a new realm of cool from my teens’ perspective. They get a kick out of seeing me with my headset doing my podcasts each week. They can’t believe that there’s this incredible “mom network” sharing information “we like” over the internet using podcasts. Podcasting has made this mom super cool. I tell the kids podcasting is my “Xbox fix”!
Dori: Just jump in! Play to your strengths; if you’re a gifted storyteller or very knowledgeable about a subject, that’s a good start. Think about what kind of show you would like to listen to: energetic, easy-going, short, long? Make a product you enjoy and listeners will pick up on that! Reach out to your listeners, too. We do contests and solicit input all the time. I recommend breaking the show into smaller segments, creating a rhythm listeners get used to. Then get your name out there and stay with it!
