Welcome to A$A – I’m David Sherry. Every day (ish) I point out something happening online that can teach you about building a brand.
This post is my first Curated List – On tools that can help new podcasters. It’s built in case you want to take action. Maybe you’re developing a show for your brand. Maybe you’re still thinking about jumping into podcasting. As it relates to marketing, I think it’s one of the best ways to build long term trust, the the medium is still being built. There are lots of comparisons here, but it’s true: I think it’s similar to the early days of blogging.
You can, if successful, hold people’s attention for hours as you speak, tell stories and explore topics with your audience.
This curated lists will be opinionated, I’ll share what I think is the quality resources in a given industry. So, it’s not every option. Let me know if you like this format as part of the media mix. Tomorrow will be my next Riff (a 2nd long form written prediction based on what I believe the tea leaves are saying).
