Should You Be a Podcaster

Do you really need to podcast?  In most cases, the answer is a resounding "NO".  Probably not the response you'd expect from a guy pitching podcast services.  But the truth is you can do a lot more damage than good to your brand by producing a marketing vehicle that is unnecessary or low quality.
So, what are the right reasons to podcast?

1. YOU'RE A THOUGHT LEADER
Maybe you are the best at what you do, or you are first one to try it.  It could be that you simply enjoy
​
talking to your colleagues and even competitors about your market.  If you have a voice that can make an impact on your industry, then a podcast may be right for you.  Sure you could blog about leading trends and include guest bloggers, but sometimes an intimate discussion can have a deeper impact on your customer and make you someone they want to engage with.
