It was during the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) National Championship matchup between Sam Houston State and North Dakota State that I had a true idea of what podcasting was all about.
I was covering the matchup for the blog of the school newspaper and a colleague who was working for the Huntsville Item at the time chatted about the beginning stages for his podcast.
Before the matchup, we did a podcast along with the sports editor of the school newspaper about the keys that both teams needed to win the national championship.
I did not think more about podcasting for a while until I saw an article by Eventual Millionaire host Jaime Masters on Social Media Examiner about why a person should start a podcast
That was when I realized that I needed to begin a podcast.
The problem was that I did not have enough money for podcast equipment.
Then when I saw about hosting your very own radio show on BlogTalkRadio with just a computer and a phone courtesy of Chelsea Krost‘s show, I knew that was where I was going to launch my podcast.
Since then I have been growing my show steadily and using blab to record my show which later appears on BlogTalkRadio.
And many entrepreneurs are now reaching potential customers via podcast.
