MBA1447 How Much Money Do You Need To Start a Podcast? + Free Ride Friday

What does a podcast cost?

It’s a good question, and one you should definitely ask before you get on the mic. The good news is that it’s more affordable than ever to produce a decent quality, competitive podcast in your space.

But a good entrepreneur always crunches the numbers.

We’ve gotten a ton of exposure and opportunities thanks to our humble little show. And take it from us, it started out very humble indeed. Almost 1,500 episodes later, we only wish we’d started sooner. Podcasting is a viable, economical brand builder for any entrepreneur with a point of view and a (surprisingly) few bucks.

Today, we’ll ring up the price on a bare-minimum-quality podcast. Your “starter podcast” won’t cost a prohibitive amount, but it will require some investment. 

We’ll discuss initial one-time costs as well as recurring costs you can expect. We’ll also offer lots of recommendations for hardware, software, and resources to use. 

Get ready to podcast. But first, let’s do the math. Click Play!
