Learn to podcast in our first ever Bootcamp
So you'd like to start a podcast? Awesome. Starting a podcast is one of the best ways to build an audience and grow your business (even from scratch), but the process for getting started can feel daunting. What equipment and software should you use? How do you land interviews with big-name guests? How do you get your show loaded into Apple Podcasts? And even after your show goes live, how are you going to make sure people find it?
That overwhelm is what stops so many people from creating their podcast. It almost stopped me.
If I could have had someone to guide me step-by-step through the process, I would have saved so much time, money and energy getting my podcast off the ground (which now has over 60 million downloads)!
That’s why I’m excited to announce the Power-Up Podcasting Bootcamp—an 8-week program where we’ll walk you through the steps to launch your podcast and help you along the way.
What you'll learn
- The how and why of podcasting: You'll gain a deep perspective on how and why podcasting works for both you and your listeners—from understanding what drives you to create an amazing podcast to taking advantage of the powerful ways in which your audience can become hooked on your content.
- Mastering the technical stuff: I'll help you with all the technical setup and know-how required to hit the airwaves like a professional, including an in-depth understanding of podcasting equipment, voice recording, audio editing, interviewing, mp3 tagging, hosting, and publishing.
- Setting up your website, shownotes, and more: I'll teach you how to get your show published, including developing show notes, finding a website or blog for your podcast, submitting your show to iTunes, and creating accurate transcriptions of your episodes.
- How to launch your podcast with an unforgettable bang: Learn how to effectively promote and market your launch on social media, guest on other podcasts in similar niches, write amazing blog posts that draw in listeners when your show launches, and maintain your podcasting brilliance for years to come.
What it means to learn together
For the first time ever, my best-selling course, Power-Up Podcasting®, is being offered as a Bootcamp. That means that you can learn with other students and the SPI Team in real time.
Working through an online course can be a lonely experience, which is why we’ve created this guided Bootcamp experience. Each week, the SPI Team will lead 2–3 live sessions to support your podcasting journey. We’ll help you stay on track to finish the course while also offering you live support through expert question and answer sessions, coworking sessions, and more.
You’ll get to connect with your fellow students as you collaborate in your own Power-Up Podcasting discussion forum. You will ask questions, share your progress, support each other through roadblocks, celebrate wins, and get to the finish line all in just eight weeks.
Here’s what you get in the Bootcamp
- Lifetime access to the 9-module curriculum of the bestselling course, Power-Up Podcasting (a $699 value)
- Paced instruction over an 8-week program to help you stay motivated and consistent
- 16 live sessions for Q&As, group working sessions, networking, and more
- Access to a brand new, student-only online forum to share progress, get support, and meet your fellow students
- Weekly watch parties for course curriculum
- Live appearances from Pat Flynn and Matt Gartland to answer your questions
Bootcamp schedule
Our team will host live Q&A support sessions every Wednesday from 12–2pm ET. And we’ll be hosting live coworking sessions every Friday from 1–3pm ET.
And that’s not all—the SPI Team will be hosting additional events all throughout the 8-week bootcamp, including a special kickoff session, demo day, and more.
