There’s been chatter recently, started by Michael Geoghegan, about podcasting not actually being an industry. This sparked a lot of thoughts that I’ve been mulling over the last week. I finally decided this was an important enough discussion to bump the scheduled topics and talk about it on the podcast.
On this episode of the Podcasting Underground, I give you my take on whether podcasting is an industry. I’ll also tell you why I think if you want to really make money, you should stop being a podcaster.
This episode goes a little long, but I had a lot of important things to share. Please let me know what you think about this issue in the comments below.

Getting maximum exposure in iTunes is a great way to attract lots of new listeners. iTunes is a huge search engine for content just like Google or AOL. As with any search engine, there are things you can do to maximize the exposure you get in their search listings.
I was the first to talk about this topic in my book. Through testing and observation I’ve developed a method for drastically increasing the number of people that find you when searching in iTunes. In this episode, I share the formula that has earned myself and my clients/students top placement in the world’s largest podcast directory.
