GeekbriefTV

One of my favorite video podcasts is Geekbrief tv. Cali Lewis is the host and she and her husband started with no video knowledge about four years ago. They just had a love of tech gadgets. They do four podcasts a week. They also have their own "podcasting tips" page at http://www.geekbrief.tv/podcasting-tips. They use MEVIO which is also referred to as Podshow. They were able to quit their day jobs in five months after starting if I remember the story correctly. If you look through their archives their episode 483 talks about how they got started. Number 482 was their third anniversary show.

Their tips include: Podcasting as a Business, Starting a Show on the Podshow Network, Approaching Podshow, Online Promotion and getting a valid RSS feed.

Their production values have grown tremendously from their early shows partly due to experience but recently much more because of their success and ability to spend money and time on graphics and effects.

They talk about their equipment which is top notch and not something that you need to get started. If you have a clean image, good sound and good content you will be fine. I was already a video producer so I had a head start on them, but my topic (Montessori for Parents Podcast) has a smaller audience so it may take me a lot longer to become profitable.
