Podcasting for Beginners Value Edition: How to Start and Get Your First Thousand Downloads, Featuring Podcasting Made Simple + Podcast Marketing Kindle Edition
‘The medium of podcasting and the personal nature of it, the relationship you build with your listeners and the relationship they have with you - they could be just sitting there, chuckling and listening... there's nothing like that’ - Marc Maron
If you're looking for a step by step walkthrough on how to start a podcast right from the ground with no previous experience, then keep reading…Podcasting is the expressional medium with therapeutic value we’ve been missing in our lives for decades. Luckily, popularity has been growing exponentially over the last few years - did you know the number of Americans who are weekly podcast listeners over the last 7 years has tripled? Let alone a 24% increase in the UK from 2018-2019.
Although there’s never been a better time to get into podcasting, with all the contradicting and often false information scattered all over the internet, it’s no wonder why so many people often struggle to find a starting point when there’s so many conflicting views on what the best quality equipment is, what launch strategy should be used, and even editing. In fact, it can even create the illusion that starting a podcast is a daunting and time-consuming process.
In Podcasting Made Simple you will discover:
- The X factor that leaves listeners craving their next fix of your content
- The secret to creating an immersive parasocial relationship with your audience
- Why trying to monetize incorrectly can actually ruin your chances of turning your hobby to an income
- The simple, straightforward guide to recording and editing (equipment recommendations included).
- How to choose and execute the launch strategy that’s right for you
- How to format the perfect email that will get sponsors running your way, even if you have a low listenership
- The single most important voice technique you can use to stand out
Plus, as a bonus you’ll also get Podcast Marketing: How to Easily Grow Your Listeners in the Thousands and Make a Lasting Impact with Your Brand. This book will help you grow your listenership by taking you from confused and doubtful to clear and confident in growing your show and attracting your ideal audience in the masses.
In Podcast Marketing, you’ll discover:
- How to craft a compelling message to attract your tribe
- How to organically growing your subscribers in the thousands
- How to use social media to grow your listeners on autopilot through positive ecosystems
- How to scale your audience in the cheapest and easiest way using the PGL Strategy
- 11 tricks to skyrocket engagement with your audience
This digestible guide is made for people who have no experience, so yes, this will work for you even if you’ve never spoken into a microphone. Even if you’re not a technology guru, and have no presence on social media. Even if you have an extremely busy schedule and a low budget. Even if you think your content ideas are absolutely absurd and no one will listen. Even if there are thousands of podcasts similar to yours already published, and you have no marketing experience.
Oh, and did I mention there are 4 free bonus resources attached?

- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022I have only read to chapter 9 currently but I’m writing this review because I believe there was an error. Chapter 6: Launching Made Simple, and Chapter 7: How to Bring Your Podcast to the Immediate Attention of Hundreds, Then Thousands of Eager Listeners; were both the same content. I have been highlighting the book for notes, and it seemed to me like the same pages.
I enjoy the book however I feel the need to make this review in-case I am missing a chapter because of a printing error, or that this book wasn’t proofread

Diane ZiomekReviewed in Canada on November 3, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Beginner's Go-To Resource
I'm only partway through the book and am loving it. It has a wealth of information for those who are still shaking in their boots and trying to get started (aka Me); as well as for those who have already gotten their feet wet. I'm looking forward to utilizing what I'm learning from the pages, and I think it is a must-have for anyone considering starting their own podcast.
FoxReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Everything a podcaster needs
Interested in podcasting/looking to create one? Already got a podcast but not sure how to market it/ expand your audience? Look no further, this is for you! I don't need to write a long review as these books will speak for themselves. What I will say is that it is definitely worth the read, and by reading these books I have improved my podcasts by HUGE amounts. I've recommended this to all my podcasting friends.
Harry BeckReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
For the price I am simply astonished by the educational value given in these books. I have started to implement many of the strategies inside and I have seen solid increase in my listenership on a weekly basis. The most notable ones is probably the PGL strategy and the growth and hibernation cycle both inside the podcast marketing half of the book (although it’s more like 2 thirds lol). I can’t recommend this enough to any other podcaster who’s serious about growing.
Matas CibirkaReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 3, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Great and thorough information.
From knowing your target audience to equipment to guesting and researching this book was thorough. I thought I would be overwhelmed with this being a bundle but it has been the best decision I have made. It’s everything you need in a guide about podcasting. How to pick a topic, how to run an interview, how to get guests how to guest, and how to run yoru social media so that you can grow your podcast listeners with ease.
Lewis HarrisonReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Wowza
Every podcaster wants to know how to make a good show, but not everyone knows how to write a book about it. Every podcaster wants people to listen to their show, but not all know how to actually get it out there effectively. They are different skillsets, and Daniel Larson does an amazing job at teaching with this book.
