How to Start Your Podcast with Minimal Tools and Maximum Impact

Sometimes we overcomplicate things when it comes to podcasting. If you just want to get in and test it out or start slow, you don’t need fancy gear to get you going.

I don’t often discuss anything related to launching podcasts, but I’m digging into it a bit today because the lack of knowledge or plethora of choices about which equipment to use can cause you to go into freeze mode when you want to podcast. So let’s get you into action and prevent you from over-investing in what you need in the process.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn about the gear and software tools you can use to launch a podcast on two levels. Whether you just want to experiment or go full throttle, I’ll cover the recommended tools you need to get started at a minimum, and then expand into starter tools for a more professional product.
