We are excited to share our e-course, Launch Podcasts, has been updated with more information! We originally launched this course before Elsie and I started A Beautiful Messages podcast.
Honestly, we might be inspired because we worked on this course with John and Sherry. Since then, we started our own show, grew a loyal following, and our podcasts have become a really important part of our business!
It also generates a lot of loyalty with our core audience, helping them stay engaged for longer. And we also learned a lot about how to monetize podcasts, which we share in this course.
In addition, if you are already a student of Launch Podcasts, then you’ve got all the new and up-to-date lessons. Just log in to your account to check them out.
We periodically update all of our courses when we have more new/to share information. We are always looking for ways to add value to the courses we offer.
Before I dive into everything you can learn and why you should really think about starting a podcast, I should probably recommend all the teachers in this course (since it’s part of the course). update).
We know that many of you already know who John and Sherry Petersik are, but for those who don’t know, you should really check out their website, Dear children’s house.
I’m pretty sure their blog was one of the first I started following before owning my first home, and I love following their do-it-yourself adventures.
John and Sherry are multi-talented, because in addition to being great designers and bloggers, they also host one of my favorite podcasts, Kindergarten Love Has a Podcastis the #1 Home / DIY podcast on iTunes with over 7 million downloads.
I think they’re a big deal, but I like that they’re also incredibly kind and normal. You will love learning from them in this course.
Another teacher that is probably familiar to many of you is Jeremy Larson. Many of you may know Jeremy as Elsie’s husband, but what you may not know is that he is also a very successful musician and producer.
And he not only knows a lot about recording but also creating original videos and music for A beautiful message. Jeremy knows A LOT when it comes to recording at home, but he breaks it all down into manageable chunks for you in this course.
