I started my own podcast at the start of quarantine. People consistently ask me how do they start a podcast. I wanted to share by creating a full video anyone can use. Don't need to go to other videos. No clickbait, just sharing what I have learned in my 8+ months! 1. What is Your Subject and Mission Statement Mission statement, niche, why, relevant? Key prework for you to figure out to ensure a successful launch and reoccurring themes for the podcast! This will help you know your target audience 2. Recording the podcast: How often will you release a podcast? Are you recording virtual or live? What programs to use for recording? Guest or cohost? Consistency is key! We will dive deep into each question to ensure you understand all the tools, websites, and functionality you need to record? 3. Editing the podcast: What editing program are you going to use? Will you outsource it? If so, what sites can you use to hire someone? Will you add intro/outro music and/or ads/transition music? Why would you do this? What to edit out? (uhs, ums, stutters, etc) Overall editing tips! I use Garageband so I go over it! I'll have a full-length Garageband video coming out soon! 4. Releasing the Pod: Podcast hosting and Social Media What sites can you use to host your podcast? How will these sites push them out to all streaming sites?
