It took me long enough! I am finally set up and ready to get some podcasts online. Here’s what held me back from launching the first episode:
- Branding. Creating a logo, color scheme, and banner graphics. This set me back a week. I’m not sold on my current graphics, but I can’t keep waiting.
- Creating an RTR website to drive traffic. I currently have traffic going to BrettRush.com while I continue to build RushToResolution.com. I’m going to have accompanying blog posts.
- EQing my microphone. I spent hours with different headphones, speakers, car audio, and I created presets specific for my mix.
- Background music. I searched for hours. I decided to pull the guitar off of the wall and recording myself. It simplified my search.
- Accompanying podcast graphics. I manually created all of the overlays in the podcast, including the logos and images. This just took a brief Adobe Premiere refresher course.
NOW, I am set up to record and drop it into my Premiere template. I write my experiences for those that haven’t started to know what to plan for. I would have delegated the areas that took me a long time to achieve.
Here are links to my first episode. I’m completely open to your suggestions that I’ll implement in the next one.
