Welcome To The Podcast Answer Man Podcast!

Podcast Answer Man PodcastI (Cliff Ravenscraft) launched the Podcast Answer Man podcast back in December of 2006, one year after I started podcasting. I had been approached by several people, asking me to help them figure out how to launch a podcast. Technically, I was still podcasting as a hobby at that time and I had decided to start doing some paid consulting work on the side.

One thing led to another and less than a year, after launching the Podcast Answer Man podcast, I became convinced that I could actually make a living doing podcasting full-time as my career. If you want to hear the full story of how this happened, I would encourage you to listen to Episode 425 of PABL & Episode 88 of FFTH. Today, just a few years later, I’m happy to announce that I’ve created a very successful podcast network and a podcast and new media consulting/coaching business.

Podcast Answer Man is perfect for the brand new podcaster and seasoned podcasters alike. My goal is consistently encourage podcasters to dream big and to always think about how they can take their podcast to the next level.

If you like this podcast, you may also like the Social Media Serenity, Virtual Assistant Podcast, and Business Tech Weekly podcasts. Of course we invite you to please check out the complete list of our podcasts.

Please note, this podcast has his own site devoted to it at PodcastAnswerMan.com.
