Why I started a podcast

In November 2020, I attended Janet Murray's annual event 2021 Sorted. Colin Gray talked all about how to start a podcast and it really appealed to me. With some pushing from Janet, I agreed to start a podcast.

Today (17th March) marks the launch of my new podcast "The Pricing Queen". I have 11 episodes all ready to go and I'm so excited to be out there with it.

For me, a podcast is perfect. I don't have to put on any makeup, I can chat away (I love a chat!) and I can choose when I do it. It can also be quite casual in style, as I don't have to be too corporate about it.

I have also loved having loads of guests for my first season. I've chatted to Osmaan Sharif (mindset), Janet Murray (online courses and memberships), Amy Mitchell (systems and productivity), Amy Caiger (niching) and Rob & Kennedy (email marketing).

It's a great way to show your authority in your chosen niche, and also to invite people you admire so you can chat to them. It should also open out my audience (I hope) and bring more people into my world.

I made the decision early on to outsource everything except the actual recording, which isn't the cheapest way to do it, but means I have a podcast by the end of March 2021 and not sometime, never! Although I like dealing with tech, I don't want to edit podcasts and I dislike listening to my own voice. Annabelle Buckland of Decibelle Creative has been amazing, and such fun to work with, whilst guiding me through how to run my own podcast. She's been a great cheerleader for me, and that has given me the confidence to get out there.

I'd love to know what you think. You can get The Pricing Queen podcast wherever you get your podcasts or here. Do leave a review and let me know what you think.
