Starting a podcast can feel like a huge undertaking. From concept to tech, you’ll need to make many decisions along the way. If you’re looking to record a podcast, this get-started guide will tell you the basics.
Creating Your Podcast Concept
Before jumping in front of a microphone, come up with a solid concept. One of the most important parts of choosing a concept is looking at your passions and existing knowledge. What unique perspective can you offer the world? You’ll want to focus on finding a niche that you feel excited to talk about. Once you have your topic, come up with a catchy name and detailed description to help listeners find your content.
Recording and Editing
Recording and editing your podcast is where technical know-how becomes important. While all you need to record your first episode is a USB microphone and internet access, this won’t give you the best sound quality. Investing in high-quality equipment as your podcast grows helps it stand out and gives the listener a better experience. As an alternative to sourcing your own expensive equipment, consider looking for podcast services that can help you make your content as high-quality as possible from day one.
Promotion and Profit
Once you’ve settled on an idea and started recording your podcast, think about how you can monetize your project. Most podcasts make money from advertising; however, catching brands’ attention can take some time. One way to potentially monetize your content early on is to look into Amazon affiliate links, where you can earn a profit when someone buys your recommended product.
