FAQs
-
No, it's totally okay if you don't know how to use ClickUp or Slack. During our Kick-off call, I'll go over everything with you and show you how to use your customized ClickUp board and our private Slack channel.
-
No worries! I can create a custom proposal for you based on the frequency you would like to release your podcast episodes after your launch day. The most common podcast release schedule is weekly, followed by biweekly (once every 2 weeks), but I can tailor your proposal for ongoing management to fit your unique needs.
-
To have good quality audio for your podcast, you'll need a mic and wired headphones. I'll recommend equipment that will fit your specific needs. I'll also guide you on what recording software you'll need and which podcast host to use.
-
Yes! For most of my clients, I use a 8 week timeline. But if you are wanting to launch your podcast sooner, we can do that!
-
Yes, I offer a payment plan for podcast launches. The first half of the launch package price is due before working together, and then the remaining 50% is due 30 days after the kick-off call.
-
That's totally okay! We'll setup a time for your Kick-off call that makes sense for your schedule. We can have an extended launch period, where we work on the launch tasks and we can also start building a bank of episodes so you are fully prepared when your podcast is launched.
-
Yes, by all means! Feel free to ask for my opinion and recommendations for anything you need help with throughout your launch. I'm also available to help you with your launch for up to 30 days after your podcast launch.

“Sandra's support was essential to launching my podcast: The Well Nurtured Brain. She is a wealth of knowledge on what is needed to create a successful and informative podcast, and her sound editing is second to none.
Yet the MOST important support she provided was accountability. Without this I don't think I would have produced a podcast at all. She truly partners with you to help create the best work. And Sandra is available and helpful for any and all questions from tech to content.
I highly recommend her services!”
— Pamela Hutchison, ND, The Well Nurtured Brain Podcast
I am so impressed with the work Sandra did for the launch of my podcast!!!
From our very first consultation call to the wrap up call I felt so supported.
I really appreciated that she not only did an excellent job with mixing and editing the audio in the most professional way, but she also had everything laid out in a very organized and streamlined way: she was at the same time a podcast producer and project manager.
I had the idea of creating a podcast for so long but never knew how to start and I was scared to hire someone and still put the project on the back burner, but she did an excellent job at keeping me accountable, checking in weekly and keeping an open communication line to make sure she got me to the finish line. On top of that, she helped brainstorming podcast names, she gave me all the resources I needed to record properly and to choose the right equipment, even email templates I used to invite guests, etc.
I highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about starting their own podcast! You and your listeners will be impressed.
