1️⃣ Finding Your Topic: Start with what you love and enjoy discussing. Whether it’s driven by a personal background story or an experimentation with topics you’re passionate about, make sure your podcast reflects your interests and sparks genuine enthusiasm.
2️⃣ Depth of Conversations: Choose your podcasting style – free-flowing conversations or a structured agenda. The key is to ensure your guests feel comfortable and enjoy sharing their stories. Audiences appreciate both styles, so choose the approach that resonates with you.
3️⃣ Building Your Audience: Getting your podcast noticed can be a challenge. It’s a volume game, so collaborate with others and intersect with their audiences. Authentic and genuine storytelling will also go a long way in attracting listeners and growing your reach.
