Start Your Podcast Today

Join Today and Launch Your Podcast

So you're looking to start a podcast. Congratulations, you have come to the right place. I know so many people with a large presence on the Internet and they all say the same thing: blogging was fine, video is fine, but podcasting really changed their world.

You might be feeling a little overwhelmed. What equipment do I buy? How do I get guests for my show? How do I record a phone call or skype call? How do I get my show into places like Apple iTunes/Podcasts and Spotify? What about Amazon Alexa? Are people going to listen to me? How will they find me?

There is so much noise on the Internet and if you ask a question in a Facebook group you leave even more confused. There are videos on YouTube, but they are outdated and filled with bad advice. I’ve got the proven strategies to launch your podcast in the right direction, without breaking the bank, and we will make sure people can find your show.

At the School of Podcasting you get up to date, short step-by-step videos that can be watched on your phone, your tablet, or computer. The tutorials take you from idea to syndication across the world. You also get access to our private Facebook Group for networking and bouncing ideas of people (it’s a very safe environment where we all help each other).

Twice a month we have live question and answer webinars (that are recorded in case you can’t attend you can watch/listen to them later). You also have a special “hotline” email address that goes to me and is answered by me. In some cases, my answer comes in video format.

Your understanding is my number one priority. That is why there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Avoid These Mistakes

• Your Podcast Sounds Awful
• Buying the Wrong Equipment
• Paying Too Much for the Equipment
• Using a Free Media Host (sounds good right? Wrong!)
• Failure to list your show in all the directories
• Exporting your show in the wrong format
• Asking the wrong questions
• Not defining your “why” or target audience
• and many more…

Who is Dave Jackson?

I am a Hall of Fame podcaster who has started over 20 podcasts starting in 2005. I test systems, tools, and I know what works and what doesn’t I’ve been an educator for over 20 years. Before that, I was an award-winning customer service manager. Education, customer service, and podcasting are my biggest passions.

In 2005 I took a blog for musicians and turned it into my first podcast. I fell in love with podcasting and launched the School of Podcasting. Over the years I’ve added Ask the Podcast Coach, Best Podcasting Gear, Because of My Podcast, the Podcast Review Show, Your Podcast Consultant, and the Podcast Rodeo Show (and there are others that are non-podcasting related). The School of Podcasting has 1.9 Million downloads and was the 2017 winner of the People Podcast Award in the technology category.

Because of my podcast I’ve been a featured and keynote speaker. I’ve been on television and authored books, and I’ve contributed monthly columns to magazines. I’ve received job offers, free samples, and am I’m now seen as a leader in my field. I want to help you do the same.

In 2016 I started a job at Libsyn.com the oldest and largest Podcast Media Hosting company. This gives me a view of podcasting ( and what people are tripping over) that no other podcast consultant has. I can with a clear conscience say I’ve helped more people with their podcast than any other person on the planet.

In 2018, I was inducted into the Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame.

Start Your Podcast Today

I started in 2005 in the basement next to the water heater. I wasn’t sure if anyone would ever listen to me. I’ve been hired for different jobs, and I’ve been blessed with many, many other opportunities in my 14 years of podcasting. None of them compare to getting the email from a listener who thought he had cancer, just been fired from his job, and his best friend had suddenly passed away. His message said he had decided to take his life until he heard me say that podcasting can give your life purpose. He decided to wait and start a podcast, and now he no longer wants to end his life.

Podcasting has changed my life in so many ways. Join today and see how much a podcast can transform your life, your relationships, and your business.
