I've been saying podcasting will change the world since 2005, and this week I had a spike in people starting podcasts. Why? Because a very popular Internet Marketing Conference with the typical players stated over and over how podcasting is THE THING that everyone should be doing. Then I heard it on another podcast, and another podcast. So today I'm saying, if you don't believe me, believe these other people:
Michaels Stelzner of the Social Media Examiner (who gets 20,000 downloads per episode) that podcast is the hottest thing in 2013.
Pat Flynn (who grew his audience by 20% in 2012) said that everyone at the Social Media Marketing Summit was “buzzing” about podcasting.
Naresh Vissa on the speaking of wealth show said a podcast subscriber was worth around $25 while an email subscriber was worth $6 due to the action it takes it takes to subscribe. It's not as easy, and a podcast subscriber truly wants your content.
Jason Harman of the Hartman Media group said in 1999 when he wrote his first book he was telling people to drop everything and build a website. Now he is telling everyone to stop and get a podcast.
