As an instructor for the Direct Marketing Association of Northern California, Susan Finch regularly updates her hands-on workshops. This is for tomorrow’s Podcasting Production Masterclass Part 3: Publish, Promote, and Grow! This is a quick checklist of 13 items you should have ready before you launch. It’s only a taste of the course, but we hope you find it helpful. It’s a two-hour course limited to 15 people and is jam-packed with tips, tools, and guidance. She is teaching this exclusive series in January and April.
