Power-Up Podcasting 2.0 is a comprehensive podcasting course created by Pat Flynn, one of the most recognized names in online business and podcasting. Pat hosts the Smart Passive Income Podcast (800+ episodes, 80M+ downloads) and has been teaching online business since 2008. This course takes you from zero to launching a professional podcast, covering everything from concept development to technical setup, recording, editing, publishing, and growing your audience. It is hosted through SPI Media and has been updated to version 2.0 to reflect the current podcasting landscape.

What You Will Learn

Developing your podcast concept — finding your niche, defining your target audience, and creating a unique angle that stands out

Editing and post-production — editing workflows, noise reduction, adding intros/outros, and mastering audio levels
Publishing and distribution — submitting to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and other directories; RSS feed setup
Launch strategy — the "3-episode launch" method to rank in Apple Podcasts charts and build initial momentum
Growing your audience — leveraging social media, cross-promotion, guest strategies, and building an email list from your podcast
Monetization strategies — sponsorships, affiliate marketing, Patreon, selling your own products, and building a business around your podcast

Why This Course Stands Out

Pat Flynn brings genuine credibility to podcasting education — his Smart Passive Income Podcast is consistently ranked in the top business podcasts globally, with over 80 million downloads. Unlike many podcasting courses taught by people with small audiences, Pat has actually built a multi-million dollar business largely through podcasting. The course is methodical and beginner-friendly, designed to eliminate overwhelm with clear step-by-step modules. Students get access to a private community of fellow podcasters for accountability and support. The 2.0 version includes updated content on current best practices for podcast SEO, video podcasting, and leveraging AI tools for show notes and repurposing content. Pat's teaching style is notably clear, approachable, and action-oriented.

Who It Is For

Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to use a podcast to build authority and grow their business, content creators looking to add audio to their content mix, coaches and consultants wanting a platform to demonstrate expertise, hobbyists passionate about a topic who want to build a community, marketers looking to add podcasting skills to their toolkit, and anyone who has been thinking about starting a podcast but feels overwhelmed by the technical aspects. No prior technical or audio experience required.

Career Outcomes

Podcast Host/Producer (variable income — top podcasters earn $50K-$500K+/year from sponsorships and related revenue), Podcast Editor/Producer ($30-$75/hr freelance, $45K-$80K full-time), Audio Content Strategist ($50K-$90K), Podcast Consultant ($75-$200/hr), Content Marketing Manager with podcast skills ($55K-$95K). Many graduates use podcasting as a lead generation tool for their primary business rather than as a standalone income source, with some reporting 2-5x business growth after launching a podcast.

Format & Pricing

100% online, self-paced video course. One-time payment of $799 or three monthly payments of $299. Includes lifetime access to course materials, private community access, downloadable templates and checklists, and all future course updates. The course contains 8 core modules with approximately 30+ video lessons totaling 10+ hours of content. Typical completion time is 4-6 weeks, with most students launching their podcast within 30-60 days of starting the course.
