Julia Levine | Podcasting Coach for Online Business (The Podcast Teacher™)

Welcome to Podcasting for solopreneurs and FAQ Friday where I answer a podcasting question in five minutes or less. Today's question is how can I find a podcast editor or manager? This question comes from aspiring podcaster Isabel Hey Isabel, thanks for listening. Before I share a couple of trusted resources, I want to mention that I actually offer this service myself. I take on a limited number of one to one clients for podcast editing and management, so if you are interested, feel free to email me at juliaepodcastteacher.com to check availability and get a custom quote if I'm at capacity or it turns out we're not the right fit. There are two other places that I recommend, Hireapodcastmanager.com and Stevestewart me findaneditor. Of course I will include those links in the description for you in case you are multitasking. Both of these sites are run by trusted colleagues in the industry, and job postings submitted there go directly to vetted professionals who specialize in podcast editing and management. No matter where you post or inquire, you're going to want to include several key details in order to get an accurate quote.

A few of these include how often you plan to release new episodes. Weekly is the standard, unless you say otherwise. Also, the average length of your episodes, how many speakers you typically have, whether it's just you, you have a co host, you do guest interviews, or it's a mix, and also whether you need additional services beyond editing and scheduling, things like show notes or graphics. And finally, if you have a maximum budget in mind, be upfront about that because it helps both you and the service provider determine quickly if it's a good match. If you have not launched your show yet, just just give your best guess with all of these items. Most editors are more than happy to work with new podcasters, they just need a general idea of the scope of the project. If you have a podcasting question, click the Send me your question link in the episode description and I'll answer it in an upcoming episode. Until next time, Happy podcasting.
