The launch process of your podcast is essential to its success. Listen in with Ash and Kane to find out exactly why and what you should be doing to launch a number 1 podcast in the ‘pre-launch’ stage.

To find out about the first stage, the pre-pre-launch, listen to the previous episode of The Podcasters Podcast (45).

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• This is the most important part of the launch process. The pre-launch is the period from two weeks, up until your launch date.
• You can only get into new and noteworthy in the first 8 weeks of your podcast launch, so you want to push as much volume on launch day as possible and a great strategy to do this is with a giveaway.
• Your prize for the giveaway doesn’t need to be a big-ticket item but making it specific to your audience is a great way to get as much interest as possible.
• Social media lives are a good way to market your podcast in your pre-launch phase.
• Utilise direct messages, connecting with your existing audience and talking to them about your giveaway is a proven strategy for a successful launch. Make sure they reply so you can then explain how they participate.
• Spread out your communication e.g email one day, live a different day. You don’t want to bombard people with too much in one go.
• Make sure you have 10 episodes recorded before going live. 6 to go live with and 4 for your ‘bank’ so you have content in reserve at all times.
