An Honest Review of John Lee Dumas\u2019 (Free) Email Podcast Course<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n

Dozens of emails end up in my inbox each day \u2013 and I can barely stay on top of them. Therefore, I was a bit skeptical when I signed up for John Lee Dumas\u2019 free podcasting course. Would I actually remember to open, read and watch the videos, throughout a fifteen day period?<\/p>\n

The answer is No.<\/em><\/h4>\n

I ended up binge reading and watching the videos on the weekend, usually after dinner and before a Netflix marathon. Side note: if you lack self-discipline and tend to procrastinate, email courses might not be the best learning method for you.<\/p>\n

That all being said…<\/em><\/h4>\n

When I finally did get around to watching the modules, I didn\u2019t have any issues following along with the course. It's pretty straightforward and could be titled “Podcasting for Dummies”. Yes, Dumas\u2019 free email podcast course lacks the one-on-one vibe that other \u201clive\u201d courses convey to their students. There are no office hours; therefore, seeking out personalized help might be tough. While I didn\u2019t try to reach out to Dumas directly, I\u2019m sure it would have taken a while to receive a reply from the EOFire support team, should I have had any questions. But the course does a decent job of explaining the basics on how to start a podcast.<\/p>\n

Like most Millennials, I get distracted easily.<\/em><\/h4>\n

So, the twenty-five-minutes-maximum-per-video-structure worked well for me (with most videos cloaking in around 10 minutes in length). There are also free, downloadable PDF worksheets attached within the email modules. As someone who learns by taking notes and writing things down, this was very helpful for me.\u00a0 Also, did I mentioned the course is free? Huge bonus for those of us sticking to a budget.<\/p>\n

The Good News…<\/em><\/h4>\n

The good news is Dumas\u2019 free email podcast course is a great course for beginner podcasters, who are still entertaining the idea of starting their own podcast. If you're on a budget and don't have a lot of money to devote to learning about starting a podcast, this is the course for you.<\/p>\n
