Two decades ago, the word didn\u2019t even exist. Now\u00a0podcasts make up some of the most popular online content around.<\/p>\n

Podcasts exist on every topic, created by creators from every background. They\u2019ve become another exciting new medium of the digital revolution.<\/p>\n

But how do you start one?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as tough as you think. Here\u2019s our quick guide on how to start a podcast.<\/p>\n

Decide Your Subject<\/h2>\n

Podcasts can (and often do) have the feel of a casual chat, but you\u2019ll still want to build your podcast around a core subject.<\/p>\n

This subject gives your podcast structure. It\u2019ll also help you come up with topics on a regular cycle. Your subject will naturally suggest these topics, and you can take suggestions from listeners who are interested in your subject, too.<\/p>\n

This overarching subject makes it easier to market your podcast to a specific audience.\u00a0Tags and other promotional tools will help your podcast reach the right audience on popular platforms.<\/p>\n

Equip Yourself<\/h2>\n

Podcasting equipment<\/a> is a broad topic, with set-ups ranging from little more than a smartphone to those costing thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

In a way, this is good news\u2014it means you can start a podcast without much initial investment. You should do your best to hit what you consider acceptable production values, but\u00a0don\u2019t worry too much. Many podcasts develop over time, funneling success into improved podcast tools.<\/p>\n

Of course, if you can set aside some initial funds for equipment, then that\u2019s an excellent advantage that will help your podcast rise above some of its competitors.<\/p>\n

Publish on a Platform<\/h2>\n

Podcasts are usually hosted on a range of popular platforms. This helps discoverability. You could host your podcast only on your site, but you\u2019ll usually struggle to reach a wide audience if you do.<\/p>\n

Spotify, iTunes, and even YouTube are all popular destinations for podcasts.\u00a0Don\u2019t stick to one platform, either. You\u2019ll reach a wider audience if you hit all of the big names instead of just a few.<\/p>\n

On these platforms, fans can follow, like, and review your podcast. With time, it should climb up the platform\u2019s rankings and reach an even broader set of potential fans.<\/p>\n

Brand It<\/h2>\n

Podcasts may sometimes have the feel of a friendly chat, but even the most casual popular podcasts put some serious thought into their branding.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re podcasting for business<\/a>\u00a0purposes, then branding becomes even more important. You\u2019ll need to make sure your podcast aligns with your larger business brand and communicates who you are as a company.<\/p>\n

This applies even when your podcast is still new. Your podcast could snowball into sudden success. If it does, you\u2019ll want to be sure it aligns with your wider marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

Start a Podcast Today<\/h2>\n

You might have noticed that the barriers to entry\u00a0for starting a podcast aren\u2019t high at all\u2014in fact, you could start a podcast today. Follow these tips and you\u2019ll\u00a0soon join the podcasting community.<\/p>\n
