Description

Today I'm answering a question from Ottilie...

Q: Is it better to start with an audio only format or dive straight in to you Tube? Pros' and cons??

Video has become a point of OBSESSION in podcasting and everyone is starting to feel like if they're not filming full length episodes of their podcasts and putting them on YouTube their show will never be a success.

But that's absolutely not the case.

Full length video episodes work brilliantly for some shows and are an absolute waste of resources for others.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't bother with video at all because it's a fantastic way to promote your show and get more people interested in your content.

But your video strategy has to be built on what works for your show, not FOMO.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
