You're a solo podcaster who loves your podcast, but it's so time consuming...and you don't have the budget to hire a team. So what do you do? The whole process of producing a good show seems overwhelming: the ideas, research, recording, editing, publishing, and promoting. It's all too much. That's why you need good podcast systems — to keep everything organized so you can save time podcasting, without sacrificing quality. Your host, Joe Casabona, has been podcasting for over 15 years, and has run half a dozen of his own podcasts over the years — sometimes as many as 4 at a time. He understands podcast workflow better than anyone. And with the systems and podcast automation he's put in place, he's a solo podcaster who has time to focus on what really matters: creating great content for his audience.

3 Reasons Your Podcast Planner Is Your Most Important Podcast System
My accountant once turned pale white when I told him I was keeping my business records in a shoebox. Lucky for him, I was just joking.A shoebox isn't a system.I see the same thing happen with podcasters all the time. When I ask how they're keeping track of their episodes, the most common answers are "I don't" or "I use a notebook."And just like that shoebox, it works — until it really, really doesn't.If you've ever sat down on a Sunday night, realized you publish Monday morning, and had absolutely no idea what you were going to talk about, this one's for you.I'm breaking down the three reasons why a podcast planner is the most important system a solopreneur podcaster can have.

Something I hear far too often from podcasters is, "Well it's just a hobby, so I don't want to spend money."Imagine taking that approach with nearly any other hobby. As my friend Brian says, the only free hobbies are in nature, or at the library (and even there, you probably pay taxes to support the library).The point is, if you're even remotely serious about your podcast, you need to invest in it...even if you call it a hobby.In today's episode, I tell you why, and where to start---About Streamlined Podcaster: This is the show for solo podcasters who love their podcast but hate how much time it takes.
