A podcast file a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically.
Instead of having written blog posts, podcast is all about delivering content based on audio.
Podcasting Stats
As of February 2019, there are over 660,000 podcasts/shows that are available on various platforms. And the number of podcast episodes were 28 million.
Why is podcasting popular?
Podcast is popular because it came during the massive influx of content in the virtual world.
With thousands of blogs created on a daily basis, there are just too much content in the world.
We are drowning in the sea of content — and the ability to listen to content makes podcasting an extremely popular option.
Entrepreneurs who are commuting to work or travelling spend a lot of their time listening to podcast because it is easy and hassle free. The ability to start or stop, fast forward or backward make podcasting even easier to digest for busy people.
Why is podcasting important?
Postcasting is important for businesses because it provides a different platform for you to share your content.
With podcasting, you will be able to reach out to a wider range of audience, that don’t have much time to read.
Plus, you can easily reach out to audience who listen to podcasts during commute and those who prefer audio version.
How to start a podcast?
Starting a podcast is easy (thanks to today’s technology).
The first step is to decide on a podcast niche. A few examples to help you are as follow:
Pat Flynn (Smart Passive Income) — Podcast related to online marketing niche
Entrepreneur On Fire — Podcast related to entrepreneurship
On Purpose with Jay Shetty — Podcast related to self-help
The second step involves creating an artwork/design for your podcast.
Remember that the podcast artwork requires a minimum size of 1400 x 1400 pixels and a maximum size of 3000 x 3000 pixels.
It is okay to have an average podcast artwork if you are just starting your own podcast show.
You can easily change the podcast artwork anytime based on your liking. Therefore, don’t worry if your first podcast artwork doesn’t look good!
How to record a podcast?
Now, let’s talk about recording a podcast.
How do you record a podcast?
For starters, recording your own voice (and listening to it) is very, very odd.
The most important part about recording a podcast is the podcast equipments.
Here are the best podcast equipment.
Microphone.Any microphone will work for recording your podcast, but listeners can usually tell the difference between low and high quality microphones.
If you’re not sure what to look for, I recommend you to start with Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone (aff on Amazon) that costs around $64. It is the best microhpone for podcast beginners (noise reduction and USB enabled).
Audio Editing Software. For the actual recording and editing, you’ll need a Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW). As complicated as it sounds, it is important to use an audio editing software to ensure that the podcast audio is clear and ultimately providing a great user experience for the podcast listeners.
Audacity is the only free and open source programs that works perfectly well for those who are starting a podcast.
Two other popular podcast equipments are Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (2nd Gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools (link on Amazon) and Mackie PROFX8V2 8-Channel Compact Mixer with USB and Effects (link on Amazon) which are used by searsoned podcasters.
Pop Filters. For some podcasters, using pop filters is an optional feature but for me, it’s mandatory. The clearer your audio can sound, the better. Pop filters, while not required, are fairly cheap and can keep your plosives from making a nasty sound on your recording.
Pop Filter, by PEMOTech is a decent option that doesn’t cost a bomb. It’s only $8 on Amazon.
Determine if your microphone is being recognized by Audacity by checking the drop-down menu next to the small microphone icon. If you see your mic, go ahead and select it.
In the top-left corner, you should see the pause, play, stop, skip back, skip forward, and record buttons. Click the record button and talk into your mic to make sure it’s working properly.
You’ll want to export your audio in the MP3 format later on. In order to do that, you’ll need to download and install the Lame MP3 encoder for either Windows or Mac.
Once that’s installed, close and reopen Audacity. Record yourself talking for a few seconds like before, then go to File, then Export Audio, and select MP3 Files in the ‘Save as type’ dropdown menu.
Name your file something simple like “test1” and save it to your desktop.
Find the MP3 file on your desktop and try playing it in your MP3 player of choice, just to make sure everything is working properly.
If the audio in your MP3 test file sounds okay, you’re ready to start recording your podcast in Audacity.
Step 3: Record and edit podcasts using Audacity
Audacity is very straight forward and easy to use. However, this DAW program might be complex especially for beginners.
Here are some tricks to help you record podcast using Audacity.
Connect your microphone and make a quick recording the same way as before to check your audio levels.
You can adjust your recording volume with the slider right above the drop-down menu where you selected your recording device.
When you’ve found a good level, go ahead and remove your recording test by clicking the small X at the top left of the track. You don’t need it anymore.
Make sure your recording space is silent and record around 5 seconds of “silence.” This is called room tone and you can use this to cut out things like swearing or even cover up some background noise that happens while you’re recording. You can mute this track for now by clicking the mute toggle button on the left side of the track. You can also minimize it by clicking the arrow at the bottom-left of the track.
Go to File, then Save Project As, and choose a name for your project. Keep in mind that this doesn’t export any audio, just saves your progress.
Once these are done, you have completed the process of recording the main part of your podcast (yaa-hoo!).
Press the Stop button to stop the recording.
Step 4: How to add music and make edits to the podcast using Audacity?
Always remember that recording a podcast is just the first step.
Producing excellent (or good) podcast episode is another — and spend as much time here as when you are planning and recording the podcast show.
Follow these steps to add music and edit your podcast in Audacity.
Go to File, then Import, and then Audio. Locate the music you chose earlier (or your own if you made some), and click Open. The music will get dropped into Audacity as its own separate track.
Now find the Selection Tool in the Audacity toolbar. It will look like a typing cursor.
Drag the Selection Tool over the section of music you’d like to use for your intro and outro music.
With that section of music currently selected, find the Trim Audio button on the Audacity toolbar and click it. You should be left with only the section of music you chose.
While that section of music is still selected, find the Copy button on the toolbar and click it (you can also use CTRL+C or Command+C).
On the same music track, click anywhere to the right of that music section. Then find the Paste button on the toolbar and click it (or CTRL+V or Command+V). You now have your intro and outro music, but it’s still not quite ready.
With the Selection Tool, select one of the music copies. Then go to Effect at the top and choose Fade Out. Do the same for the other music copy, but choose Fade In instead. You’re intro and outro music is now ready to go.
Step 5: How to cut a specific podcast section using Audacity?
It happens — swearing, wrong use of words etc.
Here are the exact tutorial to cut a specific podcast section in Audacity.
Find the section of audio that needs to be cut out.
Use the Selection Tool to select the entire section that needs to be removed.
Find the Cut button on the toolbar and click. Boom, it’s gone. Alternatively, you could also use the Silence button.
Now, remember the room tone you recorded earlier? You can copy a section of that and overlap it with the cut out portion so you have a less jarring silence.
Bonus: How do you record a podcast with multiple microphones or Skype?
I wish there is an easy way for this but no — it requires a bit of money and effort to record a podcast with multiple microphones and on Skype.
According to Audacity support team, Audacity can only recognize one audio input recording at a time. Thus, here’s the work around if you are using multiple microphones or Skype to record your podcast.
Windows: For using multiple USB microphones on Windows, you can aggregate them all into a single recording device using software like Voice Meeter (free) or Virtual Audio Cable (trial version supports up to three devices). The audio from each mic will get picked up just fine, but all level adjustments have to be made through the software. In Audacity, you’ll still only see a single recording track to edit.
Multiple analog microphones: Use an audio interface device or mixer that connects to your computer. Record everything on a portable XLR recorder and upload the files onto your computer
Step 6: How to tag and export MP3 file in Audacity?
You would need to edit the file’s metadata (also known as “tagging”) in order to export it out as MP3.
What is a metadata in a podcast?
Metadata is information that displays no matter what the filename is and includes things like title, track number, album, and the name of the artist.
How do you export audio as an MP3 using Audacity?
Here are the steps you need to take in order to do so.
Go to File, then Export Audio.
Select MP3 Files in the ‘Save as type’ drop-down menu. Then name the file (your podcast name and the number of the episode, for example). Click Save.
Now you’ll see the Edit Metadata window. Enter all of the necessary information (will go over that shortly). You can also add and remove sections as you see fit here.
Go down to the Template section and click Save. Save this template for future episodes so you don’t have to fill out most of this information ever again.
Click OK. Your MP3 should export and be ready for uploading.
Metadata is important because it helps you to manage your podcast episodes in a very clean order.
When it comes to editing your metadata, make sure you spend time inputting as much information as possible.
Conclusion: How to record a podcast for free?
I hope you find this guide useful and you are on your way to recording your podcast episode!
This will help you to identify your target audience, laser targeting the categories you should have and connecting with other like-minded lifestyle bloggers.
Starting a lifestyle blog to success is more than a single man’s job. You need connections (a.k.a. other lifestyle bloggers) to help you get more eyeballs.
Since you are planning to start a lifestyle blog, you might want to consider picking up positive vibes as your source of motivation.
If you’re able to share tips and help people out based on your skill or talent, readers will flock to your blog in no time.
Step Two: Choose A Platform
There are several blogging platforms available for you to use (for free) or buy.
A quick search online will give you a rundown of the best ones out there. Arguably, the most popular and most used is WordPress.
Often, it’s the go-to platform for bloggers, especially for the newbies.
Introducing, WordPress.
WordPress is the most common choice for several reasons.
It is an excellent content management system (CMS) for beginners
There’s a wide range of free themes to choose from
There are also many tools and plugins to help you design your own website (without coding skills)
Now, should you purchase your own domain and platform or use the free ones available on the market?
The answer is “It is wiser to purchase your own.”
Here are the top four reasons why you should avoid the ‘free’ ones.
Most free platforms will require you to post their own ads on your blog.
Most will limit your ability to put your own ads on your blog. Some will make it impossible for you to generate income.
Free platforms usually mean limited to non-existent tech support.
No-charge blog platforms mean generic URL.
Lack of security features.
The biggest issues with free blogging platform?
Ownership of the site is not yours when you build a lifestyle blog on other free blog platforms.
Even if you’re still undecided if you want your blog to eventually turn into something profitable, paying five bucks (more or less) a month will secure all your hard work.
Step Three: Choose A Domain Name
www.mylifestyleblog.com is a lot better than www.mylifestyleblog.domainhost.com, don’t you think? As an online reader, do you trust a website more if the URL that looks and reads like an actual site?
I bet so, right?!
That’s the power of branding. Deciding the right domain name for your lifestyle blog is always the most crucial step when launching your lifestyle blog.
The domain name you choose will be the address of your website. Consider and remember the weight of this when you choose the name of your lifestyle blog. Here are tips on how to pick the right domain name for your website.
Shorter domain name = Win (easier to remember)
Make it easy to say and spell (duh!)
Let the name mirror the core message of your lifestyle blog
A unique domain name is always the best!
Allow flexibility to make it “brandable” (avoid too specific domain name for easier cross promotion in the future)
You can get cheap domain names at NameCheap that often costs under $10 per year (here’s the link).
WordPress is home to thousands of themes that you can choose from, some which are free and some which are paid.
When choosing a WordPress theme, here are three important factors you should consider.
Deciding on what to display on the homepage (a specific/static landing page or displaying the most recent blog post)
Is your WordPress theme of choice advertiser-friendly?
How much support do you get if you need help with coding?
If you have the money to spare, purchasing a premium theme for your blog is a better option than using a free theme. Often, premium themes offer more fluid functionality. They are also more SEO-friendly.

Welcome! You are in the right place!
I’ve been working on side hustle ideas and making money on the side on my blog for over 6 years now, and I learned a trick or two on how to make money.
Here’s what an extra 100 dollars a day can do to your life:
Stop relying on paychecks
Pay off your debts (faster)
Earnings can be used for saving (especially during government shutdowns)
Build your work experience for future jobs
Invest in a business (or businesses)
Buy a car, mobile phones or anything to pamper yourself
Go for a holiday trip

The best thing about making extra money on the side is that it is not hard as it seems or you may have been told. Not only would you have motivation to be productive i.e. promotion or charging a higher hourly rate due to an established profile or experience.
All you have to do is take one hour out of your life daily, and work on one of the ways to start making money.
There’s just one important thing that you need to understand: it is not hard to make almost 100 dollars or more per day, there are hundreds of ways to do that but it is not a walk in the park.
Otherwise, everyone would be doing it and there would be no poor people in the world.
Since the ways I’m trying to tell you are not investment, or digital marketing, etc. they are therefore going to require you to polish some of your already acquired skills. These skills will help you make 50 to 100 dollars a day, depending on the complexity of the side hustle that you are targeting.
Whichever field you belong to, be it Computer Science, Graphics, Astronomy, I can assure that you can find something online that will work for you and help you earn.

21 Creative And Proven Ways To Make $100 A Day
I’m not going to lie to you; making $100 a day is very possible — but you need to put in some effort or work into it.
Here’s what you need to know about making 100 dollars a day fast.
There are many fast and slow ways you can make money out there. So, pick a few and stick to them!
1. Get paid to walk
Sounds like a joke, doesn’t it? Not to me!
There’s an app named Sweatcoin, and I have actually earned a lot by using it. So, if you’re a fitness freak or you’re on a journey to weight loss and have been trying to find the motivation to jog, this is the perfect thing for you! Lose weight while earning.
Tell me a better duo than that, I’ll wait. One important piece of information; if you’re an Android user, I’d recommend going for StepBet because Apple Store doesn’t have Sweatcoin yet.
How to get paid to walk?
Download and install the application
Synchronize the app with your data and register an account
You’re all set!
2. Get paid to take surveys
This is one of the most clichéd way of making easy money.
And make no mistake. You can easily make $100 a day with this method!
All you need is an internet connection and a mobile or computer, and you’re good to go. The best thing about them is that you can do them whenever you want and wherever you want.
How to get started making money with surveys?
While there are many sites for this, most of them require too much to earn enough money or are a scam. From my own experience, I have found Swagbucks to be the best one so far. I have also tried Survey Junkies and found them to be quite nice as well. I made around $20 within a week after signing up and filling out a few survey questionnaires.
However, there is one prerequisite to making money through surveys; you need to have a PayPal account as most of these sites pay you through PayPal. Plus, relying on surveys alone won’t earn you $100 a day, this is just something you can do while you’re wasting time listening to music or taking a walk.
Most of these surveys can be taken while watching your favorite television series. While you won’t get rich or making $100 a day with survey alone, you won’t waste much time and it will certainly helps in helping you to make an extra $10 to $100 a day.
Note: There’s a great list of top businesses for teens right here that will let you make more than $100 a day and won’t need you to have a lot of up front costs either. It’s a great source for ideas for teenagers and anyone on a limited budget that wants to add a side hustle to their income.
3. Become a Respondent (earn up to $150/hour)
Do you know that Respondent.io is one of the highest paying side hustle?
Believe it or not, but respondents make up to $150 an hour! That’s pretty amazing, isn’t it?
A respondent’s job is quite similar to filling out survey forms, except that you have to do them in market research studies.
You will need a PayPal account for this task as well, since most of the sites that provide or hire respondents bill using PayPal.
The best and the most legit platform for this gig, in my opinion, is Respondent.io. They have different focus groups for students, parents as well as people from different professions and provide off-site employment, mostly to US Residents, but in many cases to international people as well.
Here’s a little tip to earn your first $100 with Respondent.io.
When you sign up, try to fill out the details and the questions in as much detail as possible. I have done a respondent’s job and earned up to a $100 in 30 minutes. That’s quite an easy way to earn some extra cash.
How to get started with completing surveys (using Respondent)?
The easiest way is to sign up for Respondent.io as it is the most legit survey site for beginners.
Next, fill up all your particulars and be as detail as possible.
From time to time, you may require to provide more details to be invited into some specific surveys.
Here’s a real example
Last week I received an invite to participate in a marketing research: $50 for 20 minutes of my time! Not bad as a creative way to make money by answering some questions!
4. Download the Nielsen App and get $50 a year by going online
This app basically studies online people and they pay you $50 a year just for going online. All they will require of you is the permission to access your browser history; they want to know the pages you visit and for how long you stay online.
At this point of time, Nielson only accepts participants from the US. If you are living in the US and want to make 100 dollars a day, this is a great way to do so!
But worry not, they don’t keep the user IDs so your data can’t be traced back to you in any way; it’s completely anonymous.
Do you know that you can earn money by watching videos?
You must have heard about the amount of money famous YouTubers make, right? That’s because of the views they get, and it has become a very popular business. People pay up to buy views all the time.
How to get paid to watch videos online?
You can use this market to earn money; all you have to do is sign up for one such website and watch their playlists.
Sounds easy, no?
You don’t even have to watch the videos, you could start the playlist on your laptop and go to sleep, and by the time you wake up, you’d have earned money with no effort!
I have made up to $150 a month through this method.
6. Get paid to shop (get paid shopping)
How to get paid for shopping?
There are many referral sites in place which get paid when you make a purchase of certain products by using their vouchers, or referral codes.
In return they give a partial amount from the money they get from those companies for their brand marketing.
How to get paid for shopping?
Cashback, of course!
Today, there are many cashback applications that you can use. These companies will be more than willing to pay you handsomely when you shop using their app or through their links.
To put it in simple words, you can get some cashback from the purchases you make online simply by using referral codes from different sites like these.
7. Make an Extra $1,000 for pet sitting

For all the animal lovers out there, this is the perfect job for you. Not only is it easy but also very convenient as you choose the time yourself and there’s a range of activities that you can select from including but not limited to dog boarding and dog walking. You can either do it as part-time or as a full-time job; if you choose to go with full-time you can also do other jobs while doing that like watching those playlists we talked about above or filling out surveys.
The most legit platform for this task in my experience is Rover.

Dog walking
Dog daycare
House-sitting for pets
Dog boarding (wait, what?)
Pet sitting is easy because it is not a tedious job. You can still do many other tasks when baby sitting pets at home (including the one that are helping you to make at least $100 a day)!
8. Start your own blog (and make $100 a day online)
For almost a decade, I have been looking for ways to earn some extra cash and to-date, the best one has been my blog.
It takes some time to kick-start but once it gets the required reach and starts to successfully reach its target audience, it grows exponentially.
On top of that, it requires no investment; think of it as a digital property which is free of cost and you can develop simply by giving it time.
I have made around $1,000 a month through this method and I’m not even very experienced in writing.
Starting a blog has been by far the best investment of my time!
You won’t need much money to start (you just need to pay for hosting), and you will have to invest your time, but you will be able to make well over $100 a day if you follow my simple steps tostart a blog and start making money!
And this is how much I had made so far (to prove that I’m not scam and making money online every day is truly possible).

9. Become a virtual assistant (and earn up to $4,000/month)
VA’s are in high demand due to many businesses requiring online support staff.
The demand for virtual assistance is constantly growing and this is an excellent opportunity for you!
Take a look at the Google Trends for “virtual assistance” based on the last 5 years results.
So, if you have good communication skills you can earn a lot through these jobs.
All you have to do is spend a few hours every day helping customers of different businesses online. While all VA jobs don’t pay very high,
if you have certain skills like digital marketing, you can get paid up to $50 per hour and even if you don’t, you can always acquire these skills.
Tasks of a virtual assistant are also quite diverse; companies have them for keeping track of email correspondences, managing their social media handles and so on.
How to become a virtual assistant and earn $100 a day?
To start off, you should join platforms like Upwork, Freelancer, Guru, fiverr and develop a strong profile there and find clients for yourself.
Once you’ve developed a reputation, you can go ahead and start your own website for branding yourself.
As you complete more projects, opt by starting your own website and brand yourself there.
The English language is a commodity especially in the business world
The easiest thing that you can teach online is English, although there are other subjects that you can teach, too.
There are many platforms which hire and provide online tutors for English to students who are relatively young (less than 12 years old). To mention one, VIP Kid provides English classes to Chinese students over online video conferencing tools like Skype.
What makes this job very convenient is the that the course material and the structure is provided by the VIP Kid.
There are however certain requirements that VIP Kid has for its employees; they need to be eligible to work in USA or Canada and have at least one year of teaching experience as well as a Bachelor’s degree in some field.
In case you don’t qualify for some of these criterions, you can go for Magic Ears instead. It’s a China based company which hires native English speakers from USA and Canada for up to $30 per hour to teach their students English.
The company has built quite a reputation for itself and only requires an ESOL certification with some teaching experience.
11. Get paid by testing websites
People like to know what people think of when they first view their websites so that they can improve. They also want to get feedback on different features in their site, as well as the general usability of the site.
So, if you’re someone who has a good aesthetic sense and would like to earn money by using this ability of yours, this is the perfect task for you. You only need two things; a laptop and an internet connection.
UserTesting.com gives about $10 for each test which takes around 30 minutes. With this rate, you can earn up to $100 in a day in about 5 hours. That too, just for dropping your review on the sites.
12. Find a remote part-time job
Make a nice living by working remotely
Remote jobs are one of the easiest ways to make extra bucks, the hard part is just finding one. There are a lot of options that you can pursue; writer, social media handler, teacher, etc. and you can look for such jobs at:
Are you someone who spends hours and hours listening to music everyday – well guest what?
You can make money by doing that at the right platform. The best part of it is that it’s tireless and requires little to no effort. All you need is a mobile device or a computer with a good internet connection and you’re all set.
All you have to do is submit a comprehensive review on the music you listen to; the more detailed and well-written your review is, the more you get paid.
One of the popular sites in this domain is Slicethepie.com. You can sign up on it and start making money. The site also has a referral program through which you can make extra money if any of your friend joins and leaves reviews on different music playlists.
14. Create an online course
Create your first online course and make money
This task requires you to be an expert in some domain in most cases; however, it pays heavily. People make $100 a day or more through their online courses and all it requires is a one-time effort. It’s not even very hard; you just need to know more about the subject topic than your target audience.
Another important thing to consider in this is the course creation and design; you need to make your course attractive to people so that you have more people enrolled in it and hence have a greater cash inflow. Thrive Apprentice is a tool which can make the course creation part easy for you.
Some of the sites that you can deploy your online courses on include:
It’s never been easier to share everything you know. There are plenty of people that make a living from selling online courses, and you don’t necessarily have to be an expert.
You just need to know more than your potential students on the subject!
How to start an online course?
Starting an online course is the go-to thing in 2020.
But its also true that starting an online course is a massive hassle (wut?).
As course builders, you should focus your time on getting the course up and running, and not those coding and complicated membership sites.
15. Drive people around and make at least $100 a day
Make $100 a day by driving with ride hailing companies
You all must have heard of Uber, even used it. Or have at least used a taxi. The good news is that you can do that too in your leisure time and generate extra money.
It’s also quite convenient since you don’t have to do it as a full-time job; you can choose to do it at times when you’re already on the road, like leaving for work, or coming back from work.
At the very least, it would cover up your fuel costs for the month just for an extra hour of driving every day. Amazing, isn’t it?
In Malaysia, ride sharing drivers can easily earn around RM 100 a day on weekday and RM 150 to RM 200 on weekends. And all these are after deducting their petrol money.
Crazy, right?
16. Deliver food
There are many platforms like UberEATS or Postmates, etc. that would pay for food delivery as a part-time job.
It’s quite simple and if you’re someone who likes to take drives in your alone (‘me’) time, this might be the perfect thing for you.
Besides that, the demand for food delivery is growing rapidly in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
If you dislike your boss/manager, this is one great way to make money!
17. Get paid by searching online
Want a well paid job? Become a search engine guru!
You all know about Google, and you most likely use it every day to search for all kinds of things.
But you’ve probably never heard of Swagbucks; it’s a search engine too, a relatively new one.
The good news is that they would pay you to use their website to make your searches, in order to increase their site traffic and improve their search algorithms.
Seems like a very convenient way to earn some extra money.
18. Rent out your extra room on Airbnb
Do you happen to have a spare room in your apartment or house that you don’t really use and can make do without it?
Then this might be the perfect thing for you.
You can become a host on Airbnb and make more than $100 a day! You can see the reviews your guests have received from their past records and accept or reject them on the basis of that.
Even if you don’t have a vacant room at your house, you can still become a host and earn money. In this case, you can become a local guide to people coming in from different locations and help them exploring your area.
Misconception
Do you know that you can become an Airbnb host without renting out your place for accommodation?
Airbnb allows you to become a host for accommodation and experience.
Therefore, you can easily become a ‘local tour guide’ promoting local interests and charge either per hour or per person basis.
Proofreading is an easy work from home job that is constantly in demand
