How to Start a Successful Podcast

Starting a podcast sounds simple, but growing a following and curating that following takes a lot more dedication and effort.

Essential Learning Points

The best way to gain traction is by starting with an interesting topic and inviting guest speakers.

• Stick to posting schedules that work
• Giveaways are a great way to get people into your community
• Look into your insights to see when your audience is active online
• Always be clear on what your CTA is

Talk to any successful podcaster and they will tell you it’s a passion-project. They typically don’t do it for fame or money, but rather to have interesting conversations. That doesn’t mean you can’t win business or influence people with a podcast – you can!
