The recipe for a famous podcast

The question “How do I make a successful podcast?” differs from the question “How do I make a podcast?” in a few ways.

This is because it has never been easier to actually launch a podcast. You don’t need to spend a lot at all, and there are countless tools out there that can make things really easy for you.

Once you’ve recorded a piece of audio and uploaded it to your media host, you can find your very first episode proudly sitting in fancy places before the week is out.

This simplicity and low barrier to entry is a great thing because it enables almost anyone to get their message out there, regardless of their background or experience.

But a huge amount of podcasters give up after just a handful of episodes, and that’s a by-product of how easy it is to launch. If something is created without much thought or genuine purpose, then it’s also easy to quit.

This brings to us the question which I was asked by The Storiyoh Gazette —

How do I make my podcast famous?

Now, first things first.

Never set out to create a famous podcast, but to focus on delivering the best content you can to the right audience, and do this passionately. Podcasting is an art, and you need to fall in love with your art before you expect others to. ;)

And now since this is about podcasting, I’d like you to listen to what more do I have to say about this. Because that’s how we podcasters do it!

I hope this gives you a fair idea of how to do podcasting the right way (if there is one).

Looking forward to tuning in to your podcast soon!
