Why You Should Launch a Podcast Now

Episode 92 – Coffee N5 – Why You Should Launch a Podcast Now with Billy Saleebey

Have you ever thought of starting a podcast? This episode is for you! Today we talk to Billy Saleebey about podcasts and why this is a great time to start one. During the pandemic, many people jumped into podcasting, only to realize it’s not for everyone.

We talk about how to monetize podcasts because often they don’t bring in the dough based on views alone. Billy has a few tips on different ways to make money off your podcast.

Billy talks about what it takes to start a successful podcast that has longevity. For example, you need to examine your “why…” If you’re in it for the fame, you need to know that it likely won’t happen right away. But if you’re passionate about your topic, that will make a huge difference when it comes to sticking with your podcast and not giving up soon after starting. We also go over some of the technical aspects of podcasting, production tips, and tips for choosing guests to have on your show.

Billy Saleebey is an entrepreneur and award-winning filmmaker. He also recently served as Head of Global Sales & Product Training for Tesla.
