Want a quick chat to make sure this is right for you? Send me an email at paula@jumpstartyourjoy.com and we’ll get a call on the books to get your questions answered.
How much technical know-how do I need to have?
The class will outline the basics of what you need to start a show, and it’s recommended that you are relatively comfortable with (or feel comfortable learning how to do) things like: setting up or updating a blog, uploading files to a dropbox or similar type of tool, and learning new software. Basic instruction will be provided, and there will be portions of self study required by students. You do not have to have a website or blog up and running (nor do you necessarily need one to launch a podcast). The class departs from an assumption that you already have a site or are comfortable building and updating one on your own.
