Ask This Question to Understand What a Working Relationship Looks Like

But where you look is INCREDIBLY important.<br /><br />If you've been following the process we've talked about in the previous episodes, you already know what you want and need, what you can pay and what you'd prefer your budget to be, and even whether you want to work with an individual, a team, or an agency.

What Should You Spend On Podcast Editing?

What Should You Spend On Podcast Editing?
If you're thinking of hiring a podcast editor, there's a 50/50 chance the first question you had was, "How much is this going to cost me?" Of course, as with most things, the answer is, "It depends."&nbsp;<br /><br /><br />But that doesn't mean anything goes.<br /><br />Hiring a podcast editor can be a bit of a scary thing - not only because you're giving away a bit of the control of your show. Giving up a little of the creativity. Trusting someone else to make decisions that are at least as good as what you would do. But that trust factor is only one.<br /><br />Bringing on an editor is also a financial commitment. That is, unless you think you can find someone who will be willing to offer the level of service you need for some kind of barter agreement of the promise of experience and exposure.<br /><br />Not to fear, though. While there is a financial component it doesn't have to be scary.<br />Like the other things we've talked about, it's possible to develop a plan. To have a framework for making the decision. All it takes is a bit of focus and planning.<br /><br />Listen to Discover:<br /><ol><li>How to set your maximum budget</li><li>How to justify what you plan to spend on podcasting</li><li>Why asking, "How much does podcast editing cost?" is the wrong question</li></ol><p><a href="https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/hiring-a-podcast-editor/11" target="_blank" >https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/hiring-a-podcast-editor/11</a></p><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://hireapodcasteditor.com/listen" target="_blank">Listen to Hiring a Podcast Editor</a><br /><a href="https://hireapodcasteditor.com" target="_blank">Hiring a Podcast Editor website</a><br /><br /><br />Mentioned in this episode:&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>15 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Podcast Editor</strong><br />If you want to get the clarity you need to avoid a hiring mistake with your podcast, you will want to grab this free guide.
