Transcript

So how are you promoting your show? The podcast show? Yes, the podcast. How are you promoting the podcast? I'm actually not doing a great job of promoting it right now because I always end up doing so many things at once, which is a character flaw of mine. I post about it to Instagram. I have graphics made in Canva, so I post about it there.

I post the episode, the video component onto my YouTube, and I actually have my video editor cut them down into little bite-sized pieces that I can throw up on Instagram Reels, Pinterest Pins, and TikTok. But I'm kind of behind on it. I'm bad, actually, reminding me I need to catch up on marketing it. Well, still, I think you must be doing something right because you keep coming up in our community page.

That's actually one of the reasons I was so excited to talk to you is because you're actually on the RSS.com platform. Is there any specific reason that you chose RSS? No. Back in February, I knew absolutely nothing about recording a podcast. I'm actually really not tech savvy, and people would laugh. What are you talking about? I'm good with my phone. I'm good with fiber. That's where it ends. When it comes to equipment, my brain explodes. I just posted on Instagram.

I was like, anyone out there know how to launch a podcast? I don't know what the F I'm doing. Please help. I was reading blogs, but it's like it started to hurt my brain where it's like, get this hurts on this mic. I'm just like, someone make this easy for me. I don't know who it was. Someone messaged me and made it very easy. Get the Yeti mic. Okay, I got that. Get the backdrop. They said, go on RSS.com and upload it there. I'm like, okay. That was it. That's awesome.

My favorite thing about it is that you can start a podcast in less time it takes to order a drink at your favorite coffee house. Yeah, absolutely. I think I let it get to me a little bit, the quality, the intimidation of, oh God, it has to be good sound. But once I got this mic that everyone has, this Yeti thing, I was like, okay, this isn't so bad. I can do this. I think it's just a mic and my laptop. We can do this. I love it.

It's funny you say the thing about the intimidation of starting because that's actually why I launched my show on April 1st so that if it was horrible, I could say it was an April Fool's joke. Yeah, I know. Right? Isn't that like, I know. And that's how I've always felt about YouTube too. And YouTube, honestly, the equipment requirement, I think I'm going to possibly give up on that one because that's just nuts. The wireless mic, camera here, camera here, light here, blurred background.

I'm just like, I can't do this. I can't do this because I try and all the people in the comments, they're mean. They'll be like, great content, horrible audio. And I'm just like, can someone just send a team to me? I have the content, just I need help. Yeah.
