Episode 2: How do I start a podcast?
Welcome to The Nothing But Podcasts Podcast powered by Nexm Creative. I am your host Paul “the producer” Rogers and today we are discussing the most important question of all...HOW DO I START A PODCAST?????
With podcasts gaining popularity by the minute it has never been easier to get your message heard. Being able to mold a podcast to your direct audience is something that can benefit the influencer, businesses, brands, entertainers, storytellers, politicians , authority figures and more. The biggest obstacle that I come across when speaking to people about podcasting is they don’t know how or where to start. Now for some, going the so called cheap route with a laptop and a built in microphone may suffice for what you are trying to do, but for others who have a brand reputation to create or uphold that probably won’t be the answer.
The quality of a podcast can make it or break it. Some platforms won’t even allow you to be in the charts if it’s not up to a certain caliber of quality. With all the top podcasts in the world, high quality is now the standard in order to keep up with the top dogs in podcasting and to keep your listeners from going to a better produced show which may not necessarily mean better content.
Content is king but quality allows your listeners to hear your message at the most professional level.
Once you have decided which route you want to take for the production quality of your brand, the next step is planning. Your podcast has to be looked at as a business and successful businesses aren’t built without proper calculations. Carefully choosing a name for your podcast, where to host your podcast, what content your listeners want to hear, what content will help build your brand not hurt your brand, and marketing techniques you should or shouldn’t be using are only a small portion of what has to be considered before even recording your first episode. Then there’s choosing the right equipment for your podcast needs with about a million items to choose from that all have different roles in making a podcast sound great or not so great. Oh and don’t forget the hours upon hours of editing it may take you if you don’t have an audio editing background. Not to mention the fact that your show will be an ever evolving living/breathing piece of content that will have to change multiple times over its lifespan.
Now this isn’t to deter you from starting a podcast or scare you into thinking it’s not for you.
This is only to inform you of the steps that must be taken to create something successful.
