Ellory mentioned that investing in high-quality podcast equipment is great. However, if you can’t afford it then there are a lot of ways to make your podcast happen without the big bucks most people spend.
During the time that Ellory was just starting his podcast, like many people, he couldn’t afford to buy high-end quality podcast equipment. What he did instead, was devote some of his time to research and gathering information. By the way, as a stroke of pure genius, all of the information Ellory gathered, he condensed and share with everyone who followed him. Take note, that is a VERY smart way to connect with people who you may target later as your prospects.
Because of his research, he was able to find a local guitar center who sells a $35 microphone, instead of the $200 most people pay for a high quality microphone for their podcast.
