Question: What is one thing you wish you would have known before you started podcasting?

Answer: This is from a Facebook group. There are lots of answers.

• Don’t take yourself too seriously. Have fun.
  
• You don’t need the “best” gear to get started! Just start creating episodes and upgrade along the way.
  
• How much time it takes to build a following.
  
• How easy it actually is, despite what seems like complicated processes and how much money it would generate.
  
• Pace yourself. You can burn out if you go too hard too quickly.
