Q & A with Ryan from The Green UP Podcast<\/h2>\n
\n

When did you start podcasting?<\/h3>\n

I started podcasting \u2018seriously\u2019 at the end of 2013. \u00a0I have always been interested in podcasting, I have been listening to them for a couple years and felt it was something I could do. \u00a0But I wasn\u2019t sure how to start, I had the tools just needed to find some direction.<\/p>\n

Why did you start podcasting?<\/h3>\n

Jason from 7 Days a Geek was a huge help to get me into podcasting, he welcomed me into podcasting with an open door and answered all my annoying questions.<\/p>\n

First thing I needed was something I loved and was passionate about. \u00a0I had been thinking about starting up my old gaming clan again and thought this was a perfect opportunity. \u00a0I could start both at the same time, I reached out to some old friends that I really loved spending time with and pitched the idea.<\/p>\n

It took a few weeks to work out all the kinks but we finally found our way.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your podcast about?<\/h3>\n

Green UP<\/a> is about video gaming and friends. \u00a0The Green UP name is a throw back to the old Socom days, when you had to \u2018green up\u2019 to start the match. \u00a0Now we have moved onto the Xbox One, where most of our news\/info is talked about, but I wanted to bring something more to our podcast.<\/p>\n

I have spent countless hours in from of my tv playing games with my buddies and laughing my tail off. \u00a0Why not bring that to a bigger audience?<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your podcasting set-up?\u00a0 Hardware, Software, CMS, etc.<\/h3>\n

My set up is simple and not the best out there, but we get it done week in and week out. \u00a0iMac, Call Recorder (I have 2 co hosts in Alabama, 1 in Ohio and 1 in Japan) Skype (duh) and I edit in Garage Band.<\/p>\n

And of course I use only the best host LIBSYN! \u00a0I did buy a snowball mic when they went on sale, and love it!<\/p>\n

I do remember the days before call recorder when I would record the call through my speakers into my mic\u2026..yuck!<\/p>\n

How have you promoted your podcast?<\/h3>\n

Promoting has been a tough work ethic to build. \u00a0With help from you guys, I have learned to spend time promoting.<\/p>\n

Each night I type up a few tweets to be posted throughout the next day. \u00a0I had gotten lazy with my tweets, last podcast you guys had said how or why would anyone click a link when it says \u2018heres my new episode\u2019.<\/p>\n

So I spend some extra time being creative and making sure to \u2018@\u2019 someone if I am talking about them.<\/p>\n

Facebook, I make a post when we launch the episode and thats about it.<\/p>\n

I just started to use google+ so I am hoping to grow with that.<\/p>\n

I do a smaller episode every tuesday and thursday on spreaker and talk about the show there too. \u00a0Every thursday I do a GUTB \u2018Green UP throw back\u2019 and mention a couple of our older episodes. \u00a0And ask for our listeners to share the show with their friends.<\/p>\n

What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?<\/h3>\n

What do I wish I knew back when I started. \u00a0Set up, saved a little more $ to get everything day one.<\/p>\n

Content, wish I would have spent a little more time on content and better day to day habits like chatting with people on twitter.<\/p>\n

Asking more questions when I had them rather than being embarrassed to ask something.<\/p>\n
