Welcome to Short Podcasting Tips by Podcast Branding.

Simple advice to help your podcast succeed.

Episode 1: Define Your Niche:

So, you want to be part of the exciting world of podcasting!

The first thing you will want to do is define your niche and decide what your podcast will be about.

Making it something you’re passionate about will help with longevity and make it much easier to come up with episode ideas.

Choosing a specific topic for your show ensures your podcast stands out and resonates with your audience.

If you let your passion guide your content, your listeners will hear it in your voice and will come back for more.

So, how do you find your niche?

Think of the knowledge you have. It could be scholarly knowledge. Work knowledge, life knowledge, and knowledge of hobbies. You name it.

Anything you know something about can be a niche. And you don’t need to be an expert in a subject to talk about it.

Some very successful podcasts are journey-style shows where the host or hosts use their show to learn and explore a topic.

They’re bringing their audience along the ride to experience their failures and victories with them.

What about passions? Is there something you are passionate about that you would love to discuss with others who share your passion?

Do you enjoy gardening, camping, pets, travel, investing, movies, and exercise? The list is endless.

It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you think others may also be interested.

The trick is finding a niche you know you can continue and enjoy producing for many, many episodes.

There’s no reason your show can’t succeed when you find the right niche for you.
