Engage with David Walker

25-04-2022 • 56 mins

Steve Mellor is an online entrepreneur from the United Kingdom.

He describes himself as a writer, film maker, photographer...

And now, podcaster.

He got involved with a murder mystery podcast during the first lockdown...

Which paved the way for his latest project:

"Murdering a Podcast".

In this episode he discusses why podcasting is a better route for entrepreneurs than blogging or YouTube...

And also how he's helping other budding podcasters create their own successful show with his Podcast Advantage course!

Quote:

"There's only two million podcasts. It's a very easy route to market. It's a lot less technical than doing video. You can get started making a podcast for about £30" - Steve Mellor.

Steve Mellor Reveals:

- The advice given to him by a stand-up comedian... after handing the comic a list of potential jokes he'd missed during his set!

- How his team narrowly avoided signing an expensive studio contract where they planned to host and record a live murder mystery podcast... just two weeks before Covid shut down the world!

- How he used his experience of the performing arts industry to secure National Lottery funding for his podcast... which ensured everybody got paid for the work they put in!

- Why he fancies his chances of success with a podcast against two million others... compared to 50 million YouTube channels and 500 million blogs!

- Why you should treat your podcast like a publisher and not the platform... and ensure you make it as easy as possible for people to support you!

- Why he intends to widen the scope of "Murdering a Podcast"... to also include interviews with actors, writers, directors and producers in the industry!

-  How he's helping other budding podcasters from the idea phase right through to launch... with his "Podcast Advantage" training product!
