Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wordpress-seo domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

I was surprised by a recent email from someone who provides book marketing advice to authors.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want to sell more books?\u201d the marketer asked in a message sent to subscribers. \u201cThen create a daily or weekly podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n

They make their case for this approach to podcasts and authors by citing statistics about the increasing popularity of podcasts. The numbers are compelling.<\/p>\n

But for the majority of you, creating a daily or weekly podcast doesn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s alternative advice: Become a podcast guest.<\/p>\n

Let me explain why.<\/p>\n

Hosting a podcast is a lot of work<\/h2>\n

There are two big deterrents to hosting a daily, weekly, or even monthly podcast: time and technology.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with time.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest complaints I hear about book marketing in general from authors is, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to find the time to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
