Behind the Mic: Insider Secrets to Podcasting

So, you're thinking about diving into the exciting world of podcasting, huh?

What exactly is a podcast? Simply put, it's like your own radio show, but on the internet! Podcasts come in all shapes and sizes, covering topics from true crime to comedy, self-help to science fiction, and everything in between. 

The best part? Anyone can start a podcast!

Before you jump in headfirst, take some time to plan out your podcast. 

What's your niche? 

Who's your target audience? 

What will your podcast be about? 


Answering these questions will help you define your podcast's identity and attract the right audience.


As I always say “Content is king”  in the social media space, whether its for Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, Twitter and Youtube..name it .. content is the king!

Before we launched The Family Table Podcast so much of our time and energy (99.9% of it, I’d wager!) was spent getting the sounds and feel just right. We did all the podcast things we were supposed to do in order to make a really great podcast — the interviews, the mixing, the uploading — and now that the time had come to press publish …

… we needed a plan to promote the podcast.

Here’s a secret you might want to look for in building your podcast:

  • Quality > Quantity
  • Solve a problem
  • Provide actionable insight
  • Hustle just as hard to distribute as you did to create
  • Leverage your guest’s audience
  •  

    And there you have it – everything you need to know before starting your own podcast! Remember, podcasting is a journey, so don't be afraid to experiment, learn from your mistakes, and most importantly, have fun along the way.
