Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Since the start of the pandemic, I've been asked multiple times about how to start a podcast. One of those enquiries came from PhotoBizX member and documentary wedding photographer, Simon Hawkins from the UK. His makeup artist wife, Katie Hawkins, was interested in starting not one but two podcasts. We jumped on a call and recorded our conversation, covering everything you wanted to know about starting a podcast – to promote and grow your business. If you've ever considered recording interviews, starting a podcast, YouTube Channel or any project to grow your photography business and get more well known in your local community, the world or potentially bring in an income from your online exploits, this interview will get you started on the right foot.

Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome! Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and ultimately a better show. If you have left a review in the past, thank you!
