HOW TO START A PODCAST:
- Finalize your topic (what can you talk about for 30, 40, 50 episodes?) and format (co-host, guests, etc?)
- You can start with audio only and add video later
- Make sure you have enough time to start a podcast (from research and recording to editing, publishing and promoting)
- Decide the length of your episode (most podcasts with shorter episodes are more successful).
- Keep a regular publishing schedule (helps your listeners and the algorithm).
- Tech: you can start a podcast without expensive tech and simply use your phone/laptop.
- What we use for our podcast: Zoom (recording), Audacity (editing) and Spotify for Podcasters (publishing).
- Social Media: promote your podcast episodes, share teasers, interact with your listeners, etc.
