3 Fun Monthly Challenges for Podcasters
Monthly challenges are a great way to keep you accountable while building the momentum to actually get things done. Since most of us are responsible for all aspects of podcast production, from content creation to promotion, here are three monthly challenges that can help you start your podcast, create more content, become more consistent and accomplish your goals.
#Podtober
Every October the WOC Podcasters Community hosts #Podtober, a monthly podcasting challenge where you complete 31 podcasting tasks to grow your audience. From posting on social media to pitching brands and hosting a giveaway, #Podtober will challenge you to take a look at all aspects of your podcast.
