Today, I discuss the reasons why potential podcasters shouldn't start a podcast . Many people are capitalizing on the podcast industry by offering a range of services like podcast production, graphic design, social media design, editing, blogging, and show notes. However, many of these services are expensive and do not guarantee success for the podcast.

The first reason is not having an idea of what to create. You shouldn’t start a podcast until you have something you have a burning desire to communicate. The second reason is wanting quick money. There are podcast gurus who promise quick money right away but can’t deliver on that promise.

Starting a podcast is not necessarily a great way to make money right away. Instead, it requires a lot of research, effort, and dedication. To be successful, having an original idea and understanding how to create a show with a consistent flow and message is critical. Don’t start a podcast if it will be a long commercial for your goods or services or if  you don’t enjoy listening to podcasts.
