🎧 Top 20 Podcasting Tips from the Heart
- Start with your “why.”
Don’t just start a podcast because it’s trendy. Ask yourself: What story do I want to tell? Who am I speaking to? - Find your niche.
You can’t be everything to everyone — and that’s okay! Find your people, your lane, and own it. - Plan your episodes (but don’t script your soul out).
A loose outline keeps you focused, but spontaneity keeps you real. - Invest in good sound.
A decent mic and a quiet space do wonders. Your listeners will thank you. - Be comfortable behind the mic.
Smile when you talk — people hear that energy. - Set the vibe.
Light a candle, sip your tea, close the door. Your mood affects your delivery. - Do your homework.
If you’ve got guests, learn their story before you hit record. It shows respect and leads to better conversations. - Ask open-ended questions.
Let your guests breathe. The best moments often come from silence and listening. - Keep it human.
Don’t stress about perfection — ums, pauses, and laughs are part of what makes you relatable. - Tell stories, not just facts.
Even an informative show can have heart. People remember stories more than stats. - Be consistent.
Drop episodes regularly. Build trust with your audience. - Edit with love, not fear.
Tighten up the flow, but don’t edit out the magic. - Create catchy titles.
Your title is your handshake. Make it irresistible. - Promote smartly.
Share bite-sized clips on social media. People love a sneak peek. - Collaborate.
Invite guests who bring fresh perspectives (and new listeners!). - Ask for feedback.
Your listeners will tell you what’s working — if you ask. - Watch your analytics, but don’t obsess.
Numbers help, but authenticity grows audiences. - Stay curious.
Keep learning — about your craft, your voice, your listeners. - Be yourself.
That’s your superpower. No one can copy you. - Enjoy it.
Seriously. The joy of podcasting shines through in every episode.
