This is an Advertisement for his Website

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book contains about 5 minutes of useful information and the rest is nothing more than an advertisement for his website/podcast. Yes, he may have a podcast himself and that is advertised ad nauseum but, there is very little more content here than a constant redirect to his website URLs.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Unfortunately, there are very few audiobooks about podcasting. But, this one is nothing more than an advertisment for his podcast.

Would you be willing to try another one of John Lee Dumas’s performances?

I will not purchase another audiobook from this author.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment. I learned very, very little about how to podcast but, plenty about how to get to his website URLs. And dozens of plugs about his Podcast.

Any additional comments?

Don't buy this book if you want to learn how to podcast. This is just a promotion for his podcast.

UNBELIEVABLE VALUE!!

If you could sum up Podcast Launch in three words, what would they be?

Value! Value! Value!

Any additional comments?

Wow! John answered all of my questions in less than an hour. To search online for this information would have taken weeks. Plus, John packs his step-by-step guide full of great tips, actionable advice and insights along the way - things I would never have thought of.
Easily worth 10x the purchase price!

Useful, but to oriented to author's own brand

Though the information was useful, if the author is going to say "Entrepreneur" so many times in a row, he should really learn to pronounce it...

Anyone Can Start a Podcast!

This book provided the best "how-to" guide to starting the podcast you have wanted to start. John walks you through the process from concept to technology to publishing it on iTunes. He provides resources, guides, communities and tells you how he has successfully launched his podcast. If you busy this book, you also get the amazing video tutorials which are certainly worth the price of the book if not more.

Comprehensive, Concise and Very Inspiring

What made the experience of listening to Podcast Launch the most enjoyable?

There are many options for Podcast How-To guides but after listening to "Entrepreneur on Fire" creator John Dumas lay out his step-by-step approach, I felt I made the right choice by selecting his audiobook. At just over an hour, Dumas provides busy listeners with a wealth of hard-won knowledge on this subject in an economical--but impassioned--manner that will leave a reader/listener with a confidence and eagerness to say, "Okay, let's start this thing NOW!" His enthusiasm, humility and expertise--not to mention the authority that comes from backing up everything he says with his own results--make this a very compelling guide to jumping into the unknown and intimidating waters of the podcast. Between the book and his online tutorials, you'll be swimming from the get-go.

What about John Lee Dumas’s performance did you like?

As a frequent Audible.com customer, I've come to appreciate hearing these books through the voices of professional readers, but made an exception in this case because it was fun to hear how excited he is about this topic.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Podcast Launch?

Since he wrote this book with a pronounced economy of words, there was nothing superfluous here. Having said that, he wouldn't have added any of his How-To steps unless each was important, if not critical. Therefore, I'll follow his suggestions to the letter.

seemed like an ad for his online course

this was basically an ad for his podcast course on fire. every two sentences he mentions it. I rated performance 4 stars because I want to be fair and I felt like it sounded professionally produced. all in all though the info he gives you could get from a free podcast. I'm sure the program he basically uses this "audiobook" to advertise for is well worth the purchase for what it's worth as he does seem knowledgeable.
