Outsourcing for your podcast is a bit like dating—you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince (or princess). This episode gets into the nitty-gritty of hiring help for your podcast, featuring stories from our listeners who’ve been there, done that, and got the t-shirt (or the horror story).Kim Newlove shares her success with hiring a coach and how that investment paid off in spades. On the flip side, York's experience is a cautionary tale about the perils of hiring without doing proper research. It’s a mixed bag of outcomes, and we’re here for all of it. We also explore the broader theme of investing in your podcast and the balance between saving money and getting quality help. After all, sometimes you gotta spend a little to save a lot—like time, sanity, and the integrity of your podcast. Tune in for laughs, lessons learned, and a whole lot of real talk on the do’s and don’ts of podcast hiring.Need Help Finding an Editor?If you need help finding an editor use <a href="https://elfsight.com/slider-widget/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">THIS LINK</a> which will go to Steve Stewart who co-runs the <a href="https://www.podcasteditoracademy.com/?aff=podcastcoach" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcast Editor Academy</a> and he will send your information to people in that group.&nbsp;Takeaways:<ul><li>Hiring help for your podcast can feel like tossing cash into a bonfire, trust me on that.</li><li>Not every graphic designer is a wizard; sometimes they just wave a magic wand and call it a day.</li><li>If you think a cheap website designer will give you a Gucci site, you’re dreaming, my friend.</li><li>Outsourcing editing can be a lifesaver, especially if your vacation plans involve avoiding the editing cave.</li><li>Remember, folks, you either pay in time or in money, so choose wisely, even if it hurts.</li><li>Always check the credentials of the person you hire for your podcast; a fancy title doesn’t mean they won’t mess everything up.</li></ul> Links referenced in this episode:<ul><li><a href="https://schoolofpodcasting.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">schoolofpodcasting.com</a></li><li><a href="https://podcastbranding.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">podcastbranding.co</a></li><li><a href="https://thepharmacistsvoice.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thepharmacistsvoice.com</a></li><li><a href="https://perrysburgpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">perrysburgpodcast.com</a></li><li><a href="https://welcometoearthstories.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">welcometoearthstories.com</a></li><li><a href="https://askralph.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">askralph.com</a></li><li><a href="https://mediavoiceovers.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mediavoiceovers.com</a></li><li><a href="https://sounddogs.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sounddogs.com</a></li><li><a href="https://supportthisshow.com/tunereel" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tunereel.com</a></li><li><a href="https://podpage.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">podpage.com</a></li><li><a href="https://schoolofpodcasting.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">schoolofpodcasting.com</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasthotseat.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">podcasthotseat.com</a></li><li><a href="https://empoweredpodcasting.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">empoweredpodcasting.com</a></li><li><a href="https://www.marriedandloveit.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marriedandloveit.com</a></li></ul> Mentioned in this episode:Question of the MonthThis month's question comes from Todd the Gator of the Gaurdian Downcast (guardiandowncast.com).
