So
before we jump right in and get into the meat of this video course, in
this specific video we are going to show you a quick overview of the
course itself, tools you’re going to need, and of course, how it all
works.  This way you have a bird’s-eye view of how everything
is
going to be implemented to create your successful podcasts.

While
it’s easy for you to want to jump right in and begin creating your
podcast, it’s important to plan ahead and know exactly what you’re
going to talk about and how you’re going to lay your podcast
out. 
So in this specific video we are going to not only plan ahead, but I’m
going to show you how to do some basic research so you have an idea of
the other podcasts in your niche.

Writing
what we call the intro and outro is important. Basically, this is the
beginning and the end of your podcast. The ‘intro’ is what introduces
you as the expert and speaker. Doing this wrong can actually backfire,
so you want to make sure you do it the right way. The ‘outro’ allows a
person to take action. Fortunately for you, you get the copy and paste
script so you don’t really have to think about what you should write –
just fill in the details.

We
all know that having the right microphone and software editing tools is
a huge factor, so here we’re going to cover specific types of
microphones. I’m actually going to show you what I use and recommend
highly, including the software editing tools. Just a reminder though –
we will mainly be focusing on audio since this is more about the
basics. However, bear in mind thatwith iTunes you can always upload
video as well, so I’ll ensure that I cover video editing software tools.

Now
that we have laid out the groundwork, it is time to record your
podcast. But the big question remains – how can you record your
podcasts in such a manner that you can remove all of the room sound?
For example, how can you create a soundproof environment when you have
a noisy neighbor or house?  You’ll learn some shocking truths
as
to how to create a soundproof environment with items that you most
likely already have.

Once
you have recorded your podcasts you still need to edit them. So, since
we have an introduction and a call to action at the very end, I’m going
to show you how to add these two parts to the main podcasts. 
I’m
also going to show you how to edit the podcasts, and of course how to
add a soundtrack to create a specific environments for your listeners.

Before
you can submit to iTunes, you need to have a place that will host your
audio files. The big question here is what sites should you use? I am
going to show you one specific site that I highly recommend. Using
these types of sites will make your life a lot easier in terms of
tracking your podcast and of course submission to iTunes.

Before
you can submit to iTunes, you need your podcast in RSS
format. 
You will need this to add to iTunes otherwise it will slow down the
submission process.

By
this video, you’ll be virtually done.  However, there is one
last
step and that is to submit your podcast RSS feed to iTunes. I want to
show you exactly how to do this step-by-step.
