Whatever you want it to be, it's going to be at the top of your list. Yes. It's time-consuming. So maybe just start out with two or three platforms, but then keep adding as you go. So obviously Facebook, Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn just keep adding and adding it's so important. Totally. And it's also important for tip number two, which is networking get your little tushy out there and network. You need to get your name out there of your podcast.

Laura, Thank you so much for having me here.


Host of The No Formula Podcast, Laura L. Bernhard

I'm Laura L. Bernhard and I'm the host of The No Formula Podcast. There are two things I learned from becoming a podcaster. First is the power of consistency and building the community of listeners for the podcast and second is accountability. When I first got the idea to start the podcast. I immediately reached out to two entrepreneurs to be guests on The No Formula Podcast And just 24 hours after I realized that there was already another podcast that had the name that I wanted to name my podcast and in that moment as silly as it sounds I was about to give up. I said maybe this isn't for me. Maybe This is a sign that I should stop but because I had asked those two entrepreneurs to be on the podcast and they agreed they were holding me accountable to stay true to my word and to continue with the project. And that's when I realized that accountability is super powerful. So if you're working on a project tell someone about it and make sure they hold you accountable.
