Stephen Woessner, author of Profitable Podcasting, offers technology professionals tactics and techniques or launching a podcast and producing results. When I purchased Woessner’s book, I knew little of podcasting. Yet, after reading his book in an afternoon, I was able to produce a professional podcast that has performed well for my purpose. This easy to read $22 crash course in how to has proven a valuable investment. With excellent organization, it offers resources and practices that experience proves make sense. Not only is Stephen a great guy to chat with on the phone, his written work is a testament to his legacy of helping others to go farther in life.

I initially bought two of these books here from Amazon. One had a glossy cover, the other had a dull, matte cover and a sticker over the original bar code with a different bar code. The dull-cover, stickered book was a serious mis print where the page order was hilariously jumbled and it was unreadable. I returned it and bought a third book (I want two hard copies for my employee and I) and the third book was also the dull-cover, stickered misprint. So 2 of 3 paperbacks of this book I got from Amazon were garbage and an attempt was made to cover the original bar code so it could still be sold. Hopefully, after the 4th try, I'll finally have 2 books that can be read. The book itself (audible or paperback) is amazing and incredibly useful, but you're playing russian roulette buying the paperback here on Amazon and you might be returning it. So far, I'm 1 for 3 on getting a book that isn't a laughable misprint.

If you've ever wondered if your business would benefit from a podcast -- this is the book for you.

I bought this book, both in audio and kindle format. I have to say Profitable Podcasting is a great guide to get you started with podcasting. I even spoke with Stephen, the author of the book, through email. He was accommodating in answering questions and clarifying points from the book.I recommend this book if you are planning to start a podcast for you or your company. The practical steps are tremendous, and Stephen focuses on reliable guidance and not just storytelling.

After seeing Stephen speak in person I was impressed. After buying and reading his book, I am even more impressed!
