EXPECTATIONS AND PLANNINGS BEFORE STARTING A PODCAST

It is important to remember Process + Potential = Greatness. Now everyone has that potential inside. So it’s all about that Process where you need to work on. To be more specific, you need to work on Process Execution. Everything is going to be tough at a certain point of time. Even if you love podcasting and you can do it all day doesn’t matter. Things are going to be tough and you would find podcasting useless at a certain point of time. The same is true for anything else that you would decide to do after giving up podcasting. In fact it is true for every job in the world.

“The most practical skill in life is learning to do things when you don’t feel like doing them. Anyone can do it when it’s easy. But most people drop out the minute it gets hard.”

Now let’s dive into what you need to keep in mind before anything:

Figure out goals. What’s the point of the podcast? Make money? Have fun? What? So much depends on this. So start here.

What’s your topic/niche?

Is this a solo show? Guests? Cohosts? Once you select that, based on that, plan on what equipment you are going to buy. This blog will help you initially with that.

Once you have that – practice. Doesn’t have to be fancy. Just sit down and practice. Do short snippets and record on a phone or computer. Doesn’t have to be professional – just for testing. This allows you to refine your show. It allows you to figure out what you and others are good at. And it weeds out people who really aren’t that interested.

5. From your tests, figure out how long it will take to make an episode. Research, writing, recording, editing, publishing, marketing – whatever.

From that, figure out a schedule. Divvy up responsibilities. Let’s say it takes you 20 hours to do all you need to make the show, and you have 2 people. That’s 10 hours each. Let’s say you’re each willing to work 5 hours each week on the show. That means you can make a show every two weeks.

This is important so you don’t put too much stress on your life. Build the podcast around what you can manage.

6. Get an idea of how crowded the market is for your niche. If you’re doing a podcast about gardening or resume tips or encouragement, there’s gonna be a hundred other people with established listeners already.

Also consider what hosting site to use, ideally find one that is free starting out, until you get a handle on how everything works. Podbean is liked by most of the podcasters, they automatically upload to other streaming services once you get it configured.

7. At this point, get equipment and so forth. Don’t do that too early. You don’t want to buy 5 microphones and find out two of your people suck at podcasting and quit right away.

You can find ‘how to’ guides all over YouTube and so forth. Help you with gear and hosting.

8. Have fun

Many people ask which setup should they use for podcasting. You don’t need to invest in pricey equipment to achieve high-quality audio. Many successful podcasts use a simple setup.

Let’s explore key factors when choosing a podcast, followed by our top equipment recommendations.

Develop a podcast concept. Define your goals. Pick a podcast theme or topic. It’s important to know your why, even if it’s to have fun with friends.

Ask yourself what gives you energy. Do you love connecting with podcast guests, or do you feel your best going solo? Because that would indicate which setup you should have for the podcast.

If you choose to have cohosts, try to keep your group small. Podcasting with more than two or three people makes scheduling a challenge.

Keep in mind that some shows require more production than others. For instance, fiction podcasts usually require more editing than interview podcasts.
