If you’re thinking about embarking upon an eCommerce venture, know that the keys to success are hard work and knowledge. While we can’t help you put in the grind—that’s something only you can do—we can definitely share a few knowledge gems to ensure your journey through the eCommerce realm goes as smoothly as possible. That, or at the very least, guide you in the right direction.
There are plenty of resources available online to get started; courses, blogs, and books, to name a few. But let’s be real—not everyone has the time or patience to read books or sit through hours of online tutorials absorbing each and every detail. A more practical solution comes in the form of podcasts. These mini talk shows are prerecorded and provide immense value, particularly for their convenience.
Listeners can tune into an episode by visiting major audio platforms like Apple Podcast (formerly iTunes), Spotify, Overcast, and individual podcast company websites.
Ecommerce podcasts can be of many types and tones depending on the content; some are in-depth and focus more on interviewing industry experts. Others adopt a more conversational and casual approach. Whereas some are centered on educating the audience. With hundreds of podcasters to choose from, there’s something for everybody.
But first things first:
Here are a couple of reasons why you should be tuning into an episode at least once a week.
Where almost every other traditional content distribution channel limits movement in one way or another, podcasts offer the freedom to do as you please. You can listen to them whenever and wherever you like–while commuting to work, going for a run, or riding the subway.
For small businesses and new entrepreneurs, direct consultation with experts can be an expensive undertaking. But with these audio casts, you can gain valuable insights, tips, and tricks on how market leaders and influencers think and execute for free!
Ecommerce is ever evolving, making it essential to keep up with the latest trends. For small entrepreneurs with limited resources, this can prove to be problematic. However, by tuning into some of the podcasts we’ve mentioned in this blog, you can easily stay up to date with the latest happenings!
The podcasting market is enormous. There are over 1,000,000 active podcasts available, including content in more than a 100 languages. Podcasts cover virtually every topic ranging from general motivation to niche specific tips like email marketing and customer retention. If you’ve got a problem, there’s probably an episode online explaining how to deal with it.
Whether you’re new to the world of podcasting, eCommerce, or both, don’t sweat it; we’ve rounded up 18 of the very best eCommerce podcasts that are definitely worth your time!
