Q & A with Danielle from The Thought Card<\/h2>\n
\n

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

After wanting to start a podcast for two years, I launched The Thought Card in September 2018.<\/p>\n

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

Although I enjoyed blogging, I started my podcast to connect with my existing audience more intimately. I also wanted to connect with other financially savvy travelers and learn how they were finding creative ways to afford traveling the world while reaching their financial goals.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the name of your show and what is it about?<\/h3>\n

The Thought Card<\/a> is an affordable travel finance podcast empowering financially savvy travelers to make more informed financial decisions – travel more, pay off debt, and build wealth.<\/p>\n

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

I record with a Blue Yeti USB microphone which I plug into my MacBook. I record solo episodes into Audacity and conduct interviews using Skype Ecamm Recorder. Next, I export the wav file into Auphonic, an audio post-production web service before uploading it to Libsyn. When I\u2019m recording on location, I use the Zoom H1N Handy Recorder.<\/p>\n

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

Since my podcast is an extension of my affordable travel finance blog, initially I promoted my show to my existing audience. I announced new episodes to my newsletter and on social media. For each episode, I created at least two pins for Pinterest.<\/p>\n

I also share my content in podcasting Facebook groups. On Wednesdays, I share new episodes in the \u201cWindbag Wednesday\u201d thread in She Podcasts. On Fridays, I share in the \u201cFriday Free For All\u201d thread in WOC Podcasters.<\/p>\n

After launching my show, I also created a Facebook group for my tribe – Financially Savvy Travelers and I share new episodes there as well. Lastly, collaborating with podcasters in the travel, personal finance, and personal development niche has helped me expand my network and grow my audience.<\/p>\n

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

Before getting started, I wish I knew how beneficial producing a seasonal show could be, especially since I create content for my blog and have a full-time job. If you need a break, take it. However, let your audience know your plans beforehand and tell them when they can expect to hear from you again. They will understand.<\/p>\n
