However, last night I happened to read this article which made me worried about some of my activities. I had uploaded blog posts to facebook and to an ezine but I have now taken them down and will go back to these outlets but in a different way.

Thanks! @BeckyMcCray - Thanks for taking the time to hear my long thought out! @VergelEvens - You're absolutely right. The second people catch wind of your content and start to like it in mass numbers, your price of doing business can get out of hand quickly. That's what's so amazing about all the free tools out there. They cut out all of the massive bandwidth fees.

How? When I originally started my podcast I tried to host all the files on my server. Video files, audio files, music files everything... As the audience grew, my costs for hosting the site went up as well. The download speed of the site slowed down on the day I'd release new content. At first I thought it was cool, then I realized that it was going to be an expensive endeavor if I wasn't careful. The result... I started posting my content everywhere and anywhere. I started using Blip.tv, and Tubemogul for the videos, I started to use AmieStreet and Tunecore to sell my music. I got the content out there just as you have,... to where the people are. And surprisingly... my site isn't bogged down by every new episode. The viewership has doubled and I haven't had to do anything more then make it available. After asking my audience some survey questions, I noticed that not all of them were connected to the feed, or the blog... no matter because wherever they access media content. I'm a search query away from being found. And in the end,... that's all we want as content creators... to have people appreciate our content.
