1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,140
What would your advice be to the beginning podcaster who's trying to get ready to launch

2
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:14,580
this thing?

3
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:22,660
I would say your very first step is going to be setting your podcast niche, choosing

4
00:00:22,660 --> 00:00:25,100
your podcast niche.

5
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:33,200
I think a lot of new podcasters, okay, I should say that in general, people are beautiful,

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,080
multifaceted, multifaceted, multi-passionate people, as we all should be.

7
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,220
However, when we're going into the podcast world, when we're going into creating content

8
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:49,960
for people, people are seeking certain information from a podcast.

9
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:56,980
They still have certain hobbies and passions and excitements that they want to hear about

10
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:58,720
in a podcast.

11
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,760
A perfect example would be, let's say there's a 40-year-old woman who is getting into strength

12
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,340
training.

13
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:10,820
She's going to want to find a podcast community that's speaking to her directly, that's talking

14
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:18,440
about her pains, her woes, her challenges, her excitements, her bins, her successes,

15
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,400
and all of those things that everybody in that community can relate to.

16
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,860
So I know it seems, you know, the first instinct is to say, oh, I just want to create a podcast

17
00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:28,460
about everything that I love.

18
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:29,460
And that's beautiful.

19
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:31,020
That's a beautiful thing.

20
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:33,260
I love, I love multi-passionates.

21
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:38,380
But I think in the case of creating your first podcast, it will help you immensely if you

22
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:43,620
choose a niche, if you choose a target listener that you feel really strongly about that you

23
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:47,100
really want to serve and make it about them.

24
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:53,260
I love that you said that because one of the clients I was working with earlier this year,

25
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:56,420
they have this thing that they do called Wiffem.

26
00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:58,180
And I was like, what in the world is Wiffem?

27
00:01:58,180 --> 00:02:00,840
But basically it's the what's in it for me.

28
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,940
When a person is listening to a podcast or reading a blog post or whatever it is that

29
00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:08,160
they're consuming, they're wanting to know what's in it for me.

30
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,200
So I'm thrilled that you basically put it the way that you did, that you're niching

31
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,980
down because the person who's coming to your podcast, they're coming for a specific reason.

32
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:21,740
So, and I love that you said your first podcast should be like that specific niche because

33
00:02:21,740 --> 00:02:49,860
you can always start another one.
