    I remember listening to your advice about starting a podcast 2 years ago Pat. Now I have a global brand, a new income and so much more , all from a simple podcast. I will never be able to repay the gratitude I have towards all your help, not just for me but the thousands of others you inspire . #teamflynn.

    Under employed? Become a journalist/broadcaster overnight. Do your local area news/sports. Start by reading headlines from local papers. Record council meetings, local school sports. local lore. Sell local ads. People like local stuff. Parents like to see their kids at games. Start small, get big. Potential is very high verses investment.

    100% Thanks Pat! I think another huge crucial point in making sure that a podcast is successful is making sure you connect with your niche. It's very hard to get traffic to your podcast and even if you do try paid ads, one of the best thing you can do is actually engage with your community. Put links to your podcast in all of your social profiles and connect with other podcasters, podcast guests, comment on other people's comments, etc. Besides paid traffic, this has been one of the biggest contributions to my podcast's growth.

    Hey PBKB! You get feedback by asking other podcasters, your listeners and maybe even some close friends that will be honest with you. Study yourself as well. See what you liked about the show / interview and see what needs improvement. You can always leave your email in the show notes. Does this help? :)
