Podcasting is exploding, new podcasts are launched every single day (just take a look at iTunes' New & Noteworthy section!) and cover pretty much anything you can thing about: sports, entertainment, literature, health, travel, business.
When listening to your favorite shows, you might have gotten inspired and perhaps you have even asked yourself whether you should follow the hosts' footsteps and launch a podcast.
Podcasting is something I love, it has done great things for me.
But it isn't always easy. Some people start a podcast and then, after feeling frustrated, they quit.
Low downloads, lack of results, no monetization…there's plenty of reasons why some do give up.
The reality, though, is that, like many other things in life, podcasting is a marathon and not a sprint.
It might be hard sometimes, but, with passion and dedication, launching and hosting a podcast will lead to big results!
