Starting a podcast in 2025 is really pretty simple.
Podcasting changed my life for the better in so many ways. If you want to start a podcast, here are the 10 things that will help you make it happen in 2025!
I’ve been in the podcasting world for almost 4 years and I’ve been helping a lot of women start their own podcasts in the past year.
Here’s what I would do if I was starting a podcast in 2025:
- Do video from the beginning
- Use Descript
- Figure out your niche
- Have a workflow
- Do seasons
- Buy a dynamic microphone
- Have a month’s worth of content before launching
- Create a trailer
- Find a couple of podcast coaches to follow on social media
- Don’t have download goals have number of episode goals
Topics discussed in this episode include:
- Podcast microphones
- Video podcasting
- Podcast editing
- Avoiding podcast burnout
- Podcast trailers
- Podcast niche
Takeaways from this episode:
- Doing a video podcast isn’t as daunting as you think it is.
- Having a seasonal show will help you avoid burnout by giving you built in breaks.
- Only have one or two podcast coaches that you take advice from. If you have more than that you will get overwhelmed.
