3 Podcasting Tips from Grammar Girl

I was privileged yesterday to listen to a session held by Mignon Fogarty. Mignon is better known as Grammar Girl, the incredibly successful female podcaster who gives quick tips on how to improve your day to day writing.

Mignon was asked during the session what advice would she give someone who is thinking of podcasting. Here are her 3 tips

1. Start! Don't be frightened.. just start, you can evolve over time but don't wait for perfection...just take those first steps.
2. Produce your show on a consistent basis.
3. Keep your format consistent - it helps build loyalty with the listeners.

I love the fact that Mignon concentrates on Start! For many non geeks, it can appear frightening, you can be scared of making a hash of it....but in a sense if you are not frightened as a small business owner, than in general you are probably not pushing yourself far enough. Each day I try and feel just a little frightened...because then I know I am pushing my comfort zone.
