It’s time to launch your show!


If you’re new to this podcast, start with episode 262. The podcast mini-series begins there and runs to 271.


Podcasting is a lot of work. If you decide to do this it will become a part of your weekly or daily life. Make sure you pick a topic or subject matter that you enjoy talking about and have fun with it. But you should also treat it as a responsibility. The point of this is that you are creating content that will speak to an audience, whether it’s to share a skill or expertise or to entertain.


Have goals with your podcast, have an exit strategy, and be realistic with your expectations. My hope is that your show will be a massive hit and you’ll have many downloads and streams. But don’t be disappointed or surprised if that’s not the case. Today, the podcast landscape is so crowded that standing out is harder to do, and building an audience and gaining traction takes time. Be patient. Don’t give up if things don’t happen overnight. The key is to pick a topic or subject that you could talk about for hours on end with or without a microphone. Think of putting it on a podcast as gravy; whether you reach 5 or 5 million, those are people you otherwise wouldn’t be connecting with.


Homework

Launch your podcast. You’ve practiced, you’ve learned how to record and edit and you’ve probably practiced some more. At some point, you need to stop practicing and just launch it. Do it. Even if you’re not sure or don’t feel quite ready, put it out there and see what happens. Work on improving and learning as you go rather than waiting and working on it until it’s “perfect.” Set the launch date, get those first episodes ready, and get it out there. Have fun with this and my best wishes for lots of success as you move forward.
