In this week’s podcast we are going to be talking all about podcasting and how you can start your very own podcast! Here are all the things you should be considering if you want to start a podcast. Key Takeaways Covered In The Podcast • You need to have an outlet to give your audience long form content. For example, a blog, podcast or videos. • As a business owner, you need consistent content. • Podcasts are great if you like to talk, as opposed to write – you have to like what you’re doing. • Set yourself a length of time you are going to guarantee to yourself how long you will be consistent for. • Practise talking to yourself and record it – see what it is like. • We are our own worst critic, get someone else to listen to your first recording to check it. • Think about what kind of podcast you are going to have. • Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to have an interview for every single episode. • If you are going to interview people and you want some great people on your podcast, it will take time. • Will you do episodes or seasons? Think about consistency here. • Think about the name of your podcast and your artwork. • Google your name idea and search in iTunes and Stitcher – ideally you don’t want your podcast name to be the same as someone else’s! • You will need an intro and outro to describe what your podcast is about. • Intro script – summarise what your podcast is about and why people would listen to it. Needs to also explain what your listeners will get • Outro – if you like the episode please like and subscribe or leave a review (Call to action) The one thing you need to remember above all else… A podcast is a brilliant way to give your audience consistent, long-from content.
