There was very little helpful information offered online when I started my podcast. It took me almost two months of endless research and hundreds of hours of work to get even my <20 minute introductory episode up and running. If you’re in the same boat, my heart goes out to you and I do want to help!
However, I get too many requests to keep up with from people who want to start up a podcast, asking for advice and guidance. I truly love helping people get started on their dreams, but fulfilling these requests has demanded more than I have the time to give.
There’s hope! I am in the process of creating a short (and affordable) e-book on this topic that will be unveiling Fall of 2018. Yay! Additionally, I will always offer private consultations.
In these private consultations, I act as your podcast coach and spill ALL THE BEANS on all things podcasting. From formulating your audience, main message, feel, and branding, to all things technological and how to’s–I’m your gal!
To inquire about these consultations, please see my contact page. I would love to work with you and save you hours and hours of research.
I have consulted almost 20 amazing clients! They amaze me every day.
Here are some testimonials from my past clients:
“Monica was such a great resource for me as I started my podcast. She was available to answer all of my questions–and not just questions about the initial set-up of a podcast, as you might expect. She helped me through some of the growing pains that are inevitable in those first few months of podcasting: what, how, and how often to post on social media; how to reach out to people to ask for interviews; how to respond to people who ask to be on your show but you’re not sure it’s the right fit; what to do if you have a guest who is nervous and talking too fast; how to handle controversial comments made by guests that you don’t feel comfortable airing; and perhaps most importantly, how to keep perspective and focus on your family while also being a podcaster. So SO much goes into podcasting, and it has been such a help to have a friend and mentor in my corner walking me through it. Monica is an honest, smart, approachable, 100% good person. You couldn’t find someone better to work with!” ~Rachel Nielson of the 3 in 30 podcast
“I’m SO grateful for Monica guiding me through the intimidating process of starting a podcast! I honestly felt that the price she charged for a one hour consultation was a steal of a deal. In that hour, we spoke about EVERYTHING that I needed to know about starting a podcast. I left that convo with my head spinning, but she followed up with links to the things we discussed, what I needed to order to get started, and websites that I needed to head to. In the time that we chatted and I actually launched was 3 months, and she answered varying emails and texts from me with linger and my stressed out questions. I’m so grateful she kindly held my hand through the process, because I have LOVED podcasting! I highly recommend her services, suggestions, insights, and heart, she’s the best, I’m forever a fan (and I LOVE her podcast, too)!” ~Kristen Duke of Beyond Good Intentions
If you are serious about starting a podcast, and don’t magically know everything there is to know about making one, you don’t want– you NEED Monica as your coach.
I can’t say enough good about hiring Monica as my podcast consult. Amazing. There is zero doubt in my mind that I would have never, and I mean NEVER made my podcast without her help. First, she helped me narrow down what I actually wanted my podcast to be about, and that in itself was phenomenal. She even came up with my podcast name, and it was so perfect, I didn’t even question it for a second. After just a couple phone conversations, she knew what my vision was better than I did.
She helped me on the tech side, and I’m so grateful I had someone who had already jumped through all the hoops to tell me what to plan for and what I should do. I didn’t have to do any research. I just did what Monica said, and it worked!
And possibly most importantly, her encouragement and understanding was exactly what I needed. There were (are) times where I just felt silly, like no one would listen, like I was setting myself up for failure, and Monica was there to help coach me through those negative emotions so I could confidently move forward. I’m so grateful for her help, and I’ve already told her she doesn’t charge enough, so hurry and hire her before I persuade her to up to prices! ~Sarah Christensen of Why So Serious
My full consultation package includes:
1) A 60-90 minute conversation where we go through alllll the nitty gritty: honing in ideas for your podcast, all your podcasting questions (SO much there!), and then all the tech advice I have.
2) The month after, I will answer your texts/emails of your follow-up questions that come up. My consultees have had a lot of hiccups and confusions come up that I’ve been able to walk them through.
3) I’ll be a guest on your podcast (if you’d like it!) and share it with my online community–woohoo!
Again contact me here to inquire about these consultations.
Thank you, and good luck!
