Have you ever considered starting a podcast?
Well if you're like me you're probably worried about 3 things before starting:
- It takes too much time
- What's the ROI & can it help me make money?
- I don't have any special podcast skills
Today Pete McPherson from Do You Even Blog explains exactly why people don't need to worry about these 3 things.

Podcast Summary
Pete really does do honest marketing.
He's totally upfront that the reason he came on the podcast was to help promote his new podcasting course... Podcourse!
I've personally been through the whole course and I just wish this existed before I started my podcast. Not only would it have saved hours of time figuring this all out for myself but I would have actually saved money... yeah, I spent money on things I didn't need!
Pete only shares what he personally uses and always provides free alternatives for people to use on any budget. You can get a podcast up a running like a pro without spending a penny more (after purchasing Podcourse of course!)
