In today&apos;s episode #280 we talk about how authors can make people laugh and cry because they tell stories that touch hearts with their words so why not do it with their voice?Audio is so much more intimate, especially when you’re authentic and honest. Your listeners get a feel for who you are and what you’re like. You can bond and connect with them, which will make them care more about your art.It’s like sitting down to coffee with them one-on-one.  And now more than ever, many authors are doing it and it’s more than just Audiobooks.Podcasting can help you become more of an authority in your space. You can also create goodwill by offering free, valuable information, and your listeners can more easily be converted to customers because they will become like friends.The great part about this type of podcast is you don’t have to spend as much time creating content. It’s already been done. You just need to take it and re-package using your own voice.Take a listen to this episode to learn more about starting a podcast as an author and how it can expand and broaden your brand online.To learn more send an email to info@ablakeenterprises.com and schedule a 15-Minute Complimentary Discovery Call or enroll in the 5-Week Podcasting Your Purpose Coaching Session.Today&apos;s show is sponsored by Blake&apos;s Booth Podcasting Studio @ H.O.M.E. www.thehomellc.com/blakesbooth

Authors And Audiobooks

In this episode # 279 of the Delaware Blogger Podcast we are discussing the benefits of batch recording podcast episodes.  Along with last week’s Gift of Gab show, and this being the holiday season and I am sure that if you are a baker you have begun baking a few batches of muffins, cookies or cupcakes, but if not, you soon will be and you will definitely be baking more than one or two of each; you will probably be baking a batch - so think of creating multiple podcast shows as batching episodes as there are plenty of benefits in doing so. If you’re planning on releasing a podcast episode every week you’ll need to have a 4-week plan in place.  Consistency is key and vitally important in podcasting especially if you want your show to be a successful. Batch recording is an easy way to get and stay on top of your schedule so you don&apos;t  freak out  every time a new release date rolls around.Listen to this entire episode to learn more about what is batch recording as well as it&apos;s benefits and how to it confidently.Send an email to info@ablakeenterprises.com if you need assistance in starting a podcast or wish a copy of the "7-Step Podcast Checklist".  Check out my other podcast, "Out & About with Antionette" with new interview episodes released every Wednesday at 1 PM.The Delaware Blogger Podcast is sponsored by Blake&apos;s Booth Podcasting Studio @ H.O.M.E. so if you are looking for a podcasting studio in Delaware, check out Blake&apos;s Booth - www.thehomellc.com/blakesbooth
