More and more people are listening to podcasts every month which is why a lot of entrepreneurs and businesses opt-in to create their own show not only to provide value but to help them improve discoverability. But one of the prevalent reasons people don’t take the leap of faith and launch their own podcasts is the time it takes to make one. So, how long does it take to make a podcast? This is a question that Billy was asked on LinkedIn.  In this episode, Billy talks about the realities of making podcast episodes and staying consistent, he also shared how time to produce episodes may vary to different podcasters, and shares his own experience keeping up with running multiple shows. Tune in on your favorite podcast platform! WHAT WE DISCUSS: [00:27] - The work that goes inside producing an episode [00:44] - Billy’s initial steps in making an episode [01:19] - Why it takes 10 hours for Billy to research guests [02:12] - Doing the actual interview [03:28] - How long does the post-recording process take [05:34] - The truth about how much time it actually takes VALUABLE INSIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Ask yourself what your time commitment is Why learning about the guest is the most fun part of the process Noting areas in the process that can be outsourced Considering automating processes NOTABLE QUOTES: [00:11] - “The amount of time it takes me may not be the amount of time it takes you. It is a massive variable.” [05:34] - “A lot of people who are successful say they spend the majority of their time on promoting their show, not just creating their own. ” USEFUL RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: For The Love of Podcast Website: https://fortheloveofpodcast.com/ Podify Website: https://www.podify.com/ CONNECT WITH ME: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/billysamoa/ SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveofpodcast_/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/loveofpodcast_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ForTheLoveOfPodcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWdRfZ6kKlmQw2f5P47Rizg LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/forthe-love-of-podcast/ Show your love: https://fortheloveofpodcast.com/donate/ Learn more about your ad choices.
