Can I Say That I’m Ready For Audio?

Mara asks:

Kelly, you said in your last post that there were certain ways to tell if you’re not ready for podcasting. Besides being the opposite of the things for NOT doing it, what are some things that tell you you SHOULD start a podcast?

That’s easy!  If you have a well defined target market and you’ve got your website up and a good blog rolling… it’s time to rock it with an awesome podcast!

As is usually the case, my easy answer probably lead to more questions.  Such as what does it mean to have a website ‘up’ and how do you know when you have a good blog ‘rolling’? LOL!

Trying to keep things real simple – I think you’re website is good shape when your visitors can easily find answers to all of the questions that they may have about you and your product or service.

And a blog is rolling with the best of them when you’re posting at least three or four times a week and seeing some interaction from readers in the form of comments and incoming links.

If this is happening for you, I think you can safely move into audio.
