A Mastermind is an opportunity for a group of people to share tips, encouragement, and strategies. Our first Mastermind is scheduled for January 20, but it can be rescheduled to better accommodate members. As an incentive, each member who attends the January Mastermind will receive a $15 CAD Amazon gift card ($10 USD). Bring your questions! I'm willing to answer any questions you have about podcasting, or hear advice from other members. So, who's in? Comment below if there's a time and date that works best for you.

Once you have written, recorded, edited, and produced your podcast, the next question is how to distribute it. For many new podcasters, distribution feels like one of the most intimidating steps. In the past, this meant hosting your podcast yourself, generating an RSS feed, and then manually submitting that feed to every platform where people listen to podcasts. Today, there is a much simpler option. Podcast hosting services like Buzzsprout handle distribution for you. You upload your audio file, choose your artwork, and write your episode description in one place. Buzzsprout then sends your show to all the major podcast directories automatically. It also offers tools like Magic Mastering to help normalize audio levels and make your podcast sound more professional, as well as options for monetization when you are ready. For example, you can splice new advertisements into episodes that you've previously published. Buzzsprout distributes your podcast to every major platform except YouTube. Although YouTube really requires its own strategy. Join a paid plan using my affiliate link below and we'll both get a $20 account credit. I've been using them since day one with no regrets!
