How To Start A Podcast (Equipment, Hosting On WordPress Tutorial, Getting On ITunes)


Hey guys! Some of you asked for advice on starting a podcast, so today I’m sharing info on the entire process of producing, recording, editing, hosting your podcast on WordPress, and getting your podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, etc. Hope this helps!

Check out my podcast, The Lavendaire Lifestyle:

// Q&A: Content Creator Series
▸ Advice on Starting a YouTube Channel & Blog |
▸ My Camera Setup for YouTube |

// WordPress.org + Blubrry Plugin
▸ I forgot to mention a key point: I use WordPress.org (not .COM) which is how I can add plugins like Blubrry. I pay for web hosting through Bluehost, and the WordPress.org is a free installation from there. Sorry for the miscommunication! I know some people using WordPress.com were confused.

  1. FYI for all my bloggers who use WordPress – I personally use & highly recommend using StudioPress to make life so much easier. It’s an add-on to WordPress that handles site security, advanced SEO, and optimized performance, basically streamlines all the back-end tech stuff so you don’t have to deal with it!
