What makes a terrific podcast?
You have to tell a story, says David Farough. Make it compelling, make it exciting and make your listeners wanting more.
David reached out to me offering valued advice on how I could improve my podcasting skills. I said, "Let's get you on the podcast so everyone can benefit from it!"
You must cater to the masses if you want to make money with your podcast. Should you choose to focus on one particular niche, just know the limitations of it.
Dave's goal is to make you as engaging, compelling and appealing as you can to your audience. What you do with that audience is completely up to you.
