How to Start a Podcast - Podcasting for Beginners

So, you want to start a podcast?

You’ve watched as new podcasts have launched.

Little shows, that aren’t even super good. But they go on to rack up thousands and thousands of downloads.

Now, you're finally serious.

You gotta get a microphone, audio editing program, hosting provider, intro/outro, good show format, quality guests, and figure out how to record the thing.

Then, you gotta actually learn how to use ALL this new equipment.

You can spend hours reading about how to set one of these up, but it still seems pretty hard.

Now, there is a step-by-step guide that will show you exactly how to start, grow, and monetize your podcast.

You’re going to taken from a complete beginner to a confident, knowledgeable, and popular podcaster.

This the turnkey solution you’ve been looking for. By the end of this course, you’re going to be able to speak with authority, get celebrity guests on your show, and attract a tribe of listeners that hang on your every word.

I know... it's hard to believe, right?

Believe me, it’s all laid out for you, step-by-step. You just have to get started.

You’re going to get instant access to a podcasting curriculum that’s designed to get you started quickly.

First, we’ll go through:

• Coming up with a killer podcast idea

• Designing the perfect show

• Improving your voice with expert vocal techniques

• Mastering tone, pauses, enthusiasm, and tempo.

Honestly, I struggled a lot with this part when I was getting started with my own podcast. I didn't know how to "sound good." It sounds silly, but I didn't know what a "good format" was.

Once you’re confident about your podcast idea, show format, and your ability to speak in public, then we’ll get into the nitty gritty of setting up the podcast.

You’ll then discover:

• The best microphone for your budget

• How to record guests effectively

• Simple software tools to edit audio easily

• Choosing a podcast “host”

• Getting accurate listener analytics.

By the end of these modules, you’ll have all the technical know how to actually create and publish your first podcast episode.

I’ve removed all of the confusing and unnecessary audio engineer jargon so that you can just concentrate on getting this thing up and running.

But, you might still be a little hesitant about recording your first podcast episode with a real live guest. That’s why I’ve added in an extra module.

I’ll share with you the step-by-step formula for:

• Building rapport with your guests or co-host

• Getting your guests to tell compelling stories

• Bringing out emotions in your interviews

• Improving your skills as host in the longterm

After finishing these lessons, you’ll be able to have an easy conversation with just about anyone. Not only that, but it will sound natural and authentic.

These secret lessons have been formed from interviewing hundreds of guests on my own show. Some of those shows were good. Others were horrible. I’ve taken notes after each recording to figure out what works and what doesn’t.

Instead of feeling anxious, nervous, and uncertain, you’ll go into each interview feeling calm, confident, and excited. You’ll be ready to record an episode, no matter who your guest is!

Next, we’ll build your marketing engine. You’ll get access to:

• Proven techniques for driving instant downloads when you release a new episode

• Hacking the iTunes marketplace and getting organic traffic

• Social media tricks and tips for added exposure

• Monetizing and growing the show you’ve built

These are the exact same tactics and techniques that I’ve used to get listeners for my podcast and grow my show.

Even though most podcasters don’t do them, they are remarkably easy to implement.
