Takeaways
30 downloads of the last podcast is huge. First impressions are very important as a content creator. You need to learn the business side of it. One song is not going to do it. Planning is very important. You have to create the storyline yourself. Negativity is stronger than positivity. You have to find your target audience. You need to have that lockdown before you release anything. Stay focused out there.
