Step 5: Audio Hosting- Create a FREE Starter Package Account
Hosting your content is not a new concept to you at all as you are already doing it for your website using the Wealthy Affiliate Hosting Package that comes with your FREE or Premium account.
Among audio hosting companies out there, go for a light package at first, then keep upgrading as you establish your direction, audience and as need arises. Audience growth and income rise will certainly inform you whenever time to upgrade comes.
Audio hosting is normally available FREE or at low cost when you go to some of the most reputable compnaies which allow you to upgrade as you grow. My recommendation: try https://www.buzzsprout.com/
Step 6: New Show is Ready, Submit to Apple Podcasts (iTunes)
You now need to submit your file to Apple Podcasts for their approval. Here is a complete guide https://www.buzzsprout.com/help/33-itunes-publishing. Extremely resourceful. You can also submit to many other platforms like Spotify, among others.
Step 7: Be Consistent WithYour Publishing Schedule, Your Fans are Waiting...
If you’ll not be able to hold on to this discipline, you’ll be on a rough stretch with your podcast. Choose a practical schedule for yourself. Will it be daily at, say, 1500hrs GMT?, or weekly every Wednesday 1500hrs GMT?, or monthly every 1st Wednesday of the month at 1500hrs GMT? Choose and STICK to your schedule.
Ensure that your podcast helps you grow your email list. Besides being out there to deliver great beneficial content, always remember to ask your audience to subscribe since you are in business too. You are investing your time, it’s only fair to expect returns.
Go for it, your fans are awaiting to engage you more on the next one!

Thanks a lot for dropping by and making those wonderful comments and also for asking quite relevant questions.
.
Podcast Duration
.
Every podcast session has a topic that it handles for that particular time. By all means, the duration of talk and discussion in that session must be as long as value is being communicated, and after editing, there'll be no moments of fluff or re-emphasizing on things already handled.
This means that whereas it's good to be consistent with a certain range of minutes (global average is 43) one must only make their podcast as long as their audience will not feel like they are really wasting time waiting for points to take in.
Thus 25 minutes of quality content would beat an hour of wordy discussion that really need a lot of filtering to get the points.
.
Video and Podcast
.
It is quite a brilliant idea to make both an audio only recording simultaneous with video shooting. Once this is edited, the audio becomes the podcast and also "donates" voice over to the video. You could then upload the video to YouTube to grow a channel- and thus increase traffic. You could use text-to-speech also to be auto transcribing text as you speak along.
.
You could mention that you have the channel, podcast, and website/blog (for audience who prefer audio-visual, audio, and readable text, respectively).

Once again, thanks so much.

Thanks again.
Thanks so much for dropping by, reading and commenting.
I really appreciate your point because podcasting is a whole lot more involving and kind of strict to a schedule if it's ever going to work. Until one adjusts their program it's be a challenge rather than a blessing.
Though you'll not be using podcasting for sometime, it is worthy to know that audience growth rises exponentially at some point when audio- and video- dimensions are added to strengthen text content.
