Cavenomics is a Global Innovative Leadership Podcast, which is a Christ-centred, positive and motivational in nature. Have you ever thought of starting a podcast? The greatest possibility connected with the technology of this generation is its mobile nature. The podcast is the best way to reach people while they are driving to work or taking their dog for a walk or relaxing in the wood or waiting for their bus or train. In order to develop your personal skills, the best thing you can do is to listen to a podcast. There are many other reasons why podcasts have grown so popular and exploded over the last five+ years. Starting a podcast is easier than you may think, and it also has a ton of benefits (especially if you’re just starting out with your blog or website or your ministry career).
There are many questions comes our mind when you think of starting a podcast. If you are serious you can even start an introductory episode while you are thinking about many things in details. Here I would like to answer the question of WHY and HOW? Why you need a podcast? Most podcasters use an episode dealing with the following questions such as who am I? What is my qualification or experience to talk about the subject or subjects? What will be the podcast be about? What kind of format you are going to follow or on what schedule? Why should someone subscribe? In other words, what are the benefits they are going to have? Some of the benefits are:
You can reach a different type of audience through your podcast: There are a lot of people on different platforms like iTunes, Mixcloud, SoundCloud, podcast.com etc. You may reach a different audience with your podcast than your website or books.
You can build a deeper connection with your audience and visitors to your website. The uniqueness of your voice is the best way to connect with your people. It is much deeper than you think. People only support people who they know, like and trust. It is also true when it comes to buying things. People only buy the things they know.
You get a chance to Become an expert or thought-leader in your industry: I believe in the concept of everyone's greatness. You have your own personal opinions, belief systems, and expertise. Your podcast will be the best place to explore this with your own self and with others.
You get an opportunity to Promote yourself to expose more speaking opportunities and it is cheaper to start a podcast than your celebrity entry.
