Invest in Your Hobby

About this episode

In this episode, Joe Casabona discusses the importance of investing in your podcast, even if you consider it a hobby.

Something I hear far too often from podcasters is, "Well it's just a hobby, so I don't want to spend money." Imagine taking that approach with nearly any other hobby. As my friend Brian says, the only free hobbies are in nature, or at the library (and even there, you probably pay taxes to support the library). The point is, if you're even remotely serious about your podcast, you need to invest in it...even if you call it a hobby. In today's episode, I tell you why, and where to start --- About Streamlined Podcaster: This is the show for solo podcasters who love their podcast but hate how much time it takes.
