Why Every Small Business Should Learn How to Podcast – [Infographic]

Last year more than half of all Americans listened to a podcast. Plus, 80% of podcast listeners consumed over 7 hours of content every week. And while many tuned in to be entertained and informed, nearly two-thirds admitted to buying a product or subscribing to a service after hearing about it on a podcast.

It means podcasting is now an effective marketing tool for small businesses looking to grow fast. A well-produced broadcast can boost sales, increase brand presence, and encourage more authentic customer engagement. And you don't need a huge marketing budget or advanced tech skills to produce podcasts that sell.
