Did you catch that? In other words, your Podcast’s Value Chain consists of all the steps you need to take to get your product into the hands of your listeners.

A Podcast’s Value Chain will consist of 10 steps:

Concept -> Pre-production -> Post-Production -> Publishing -> Hosting -> Promotion -> Community/Search -> Downloading -> Show Viewing
