Welcome to the podcast launch strategy podcast, where we take a deep dive into

the latest podcast, launch strategies and tactics to help you launch a

successful show and grow your podcast.

Hi, I'm temple dang.

I'm an online marketing expert podcast.

And the host of the mesmerizing marketing podcast.

I love helping others share their message globally to build

a profitable personal brand.

That is mesmerizing.

All right, let's get this podcast started.

Hey everybody.

It is dimple here.

And today I'm going to be talking about why everyone is launching a podcast.

I know nowadays you're noticing that podcasts are popping up like crazy.

You're seeing your friends start their own shows and it makes you

wonder why is this happening?

Right?

Why is everyone launching their own show?

Why are they launching a podcast?

Well, I'm going to go through a couple of reasons why everyone

wants to have a podcast in 2022, which is just a month away.

You guys, so.

First of all, it's really good for brand equity and it helps you

build your credibility online and credibility is really important.

So One of the main reasons why you're seeing so many podcasts popping up

lately is that podcasting is way easier than it was 10 years ago.

There's so many resources out there when you think about.

Platforms like anchor, where it's completely free and someone can just,

create an account and they can upload files and they can have a podcast.

Now that's not the platform I use.

And it's not the one that I would necessarily recommend.

I use captivate.fm and I will be talking about that in detail

in another podcast episode.

But my point is that it's easy to.

Have a podcast.

It doesn't take, you being on video, you can have a podcast that

is video and audio, but you don't have to necessarily be on camera.

You can have just a podcast that is audio only, and you can have it

distributed to all the major platforms like apple podcasts and Spotify

and Stitcher and Amazon podcasts.

As well as some other platforms that have a global reach like Ghana that's G E a N

a which is an Indian distribution platform

that platform has millions of listeners.

That's why it's important to put yourself everywhere because

you can build your credibility.

And even if you don't do business in India, it doesn't matter because you want

to build those loyal fans and followers because you don't know who they know.

You don't know.

What power and influence they have and what they can bring to the table to

contribute to what you're doing as well.

So, number one is brand equity and it helps you build your

credibility and helps you build that know like, and trust factor.

The more people hear from you, the more people see you everywhere.

They start to think of you as an expert.

And they either.

May look up to you, just like they look up to a celebrity, in your niche.

So if you are marketing expert, our viewer, a podcast coach, or your Instagram

expert, whatever your niche is, the more content you can produce and put out.

It's going to give you more credibility.

It's also going to give you the cutting edge over your competition.

So that's really important.

the other reason why everyone's launching a podcast is because the ease

of use, it allows so many people to multitask while they're listening to

a podcast, The popularity of podcasts has gone way up and in the past

couple of years, because people are really busy and they want to multiply.

Task.

They want to do other things.

They don't want to be sitting there watching, something on TV.

If they could get the same information while listening to it.

And while they're listening to it, they can clean the house.

They can take care of the kid.

They can go walk the dog.

Right.

So it makes it really easy.

Cause for a podcast, all you need to do is turn on your phone, right?

And you can listen to a podcast.

Anytime you want, you can listen to a podcast in your car.

And then the other thing is that it allows you also to repurpose your content.

And that's really important because if you can take your content from your

podcast and you can repurpose it into a blog post, now you have two pieces of

content and you're reaching more people.

The other thing is if you have podcast, you can also take that content and you

can pull different quotes from it and, and different, pieces of information that

are valuable and you can repurpose them on Instagram and LinkedIn and Twitter.

And once you have that content, there's so much you can do with it.

. I will be doing another episode on this podcast about repurposing your content

and that's going to be a really good one to make sure you guys describe right

now and you don't miss out on that.

All right.

Also with podcasting, there's also micro content.

So.

The days of a podcast having to be an hour long, those days are gone.

You know, You can have a podcast that's like 10, 15 minutes.

And as long as you're providing quality content and you're

providing a lot of value to your listeners and to your audience,

they're going to keep coming back.

So, that's the other thing people wonder, well, how long should my show be?

We'll do another episode on that because I can talk about that for.

For a long time with a lot of details.

Those are some of the reasons why everyone wants to launch a podcast.

And I think that it's really easy to do in the sense where it's not super expensive.

I would say if you want a really quality show, you can have it

up and running under $50 a month.

And if you want something that's more.

Basic and you're just testing the waters.

I mean, there's, there's a ton of free platforms out there as well

that you can try out like anchor and some people do use zoom.

I don't recommend it, but if you're just testing out the waters, there's nothing

wrong in trying it out for free first before paying for it because I know that.

everyone doesn't have a budget to spend on these things extra, and if you can do

it for free and that makes sense for you by all means, you know, go do it for free.

But I always just liked to share like the tools that I'm using that are really

working well for me, because they.

Have made podcasting so much easier.

And also when you have a show that you're producing that is high quality,

because think about it in the future.

If you really want to build a business out of podcasting, you're

probably thinking about how can I make money from my podcast.

How can I get sponsors?

How can I sell my courses, my programs, my coaching, our, whatever

it is that you offer, how can you leverage a podcast to make money?

And the good news is that you can leverage podcasting to make money.

And the main point here is that you just have to be strategic.

You have to put together a plan of how you're going to leverage your podcast.

To make money to grow an audience and to take that audience and

then funnel them into your own platforms, into your own email list,

into your own discord community.

think about how you can do that.

So before you launch your show, also think about your, why, like, why

are you wanting to launch a show?

What's your why behind launching a podcast?

And make that.

Why are really good?

Why?

I mean, dig deep, dig deep in your heart.

And is it something that you've wanted to do for years and you

just, we're too scared to do it.

Was imposter syndrome holding you back or was it just maybe, life got busy?

Or maybe it was the tech part of it.

You didn't quite know how to piece everything together.

Right?

It could be a million things.

My point is, everyone has something at one point or another

that has held them back in life.

if you're a little scared to dive into podcasting, but it's something

that you've always wanted to do.

I encourage you to put that on your 2022.

Vision board that you're going to have your own podcast and

you're going to have your own show and I will be here to help you.

Every episode that I'm going to publish on the podcast launch strategy is tailored to

help you guys getting your show launched.

And if you do feel like you need a little more guidance, I have a one day

live launch your podcast masterclass, where you get to spend over five hours

with me via zoom and a group of people who are ready to launch their show.

And we go through the entire process from a to Z on how to launch your own podcast.

We cover everything.

We talk about equipment.

We talk about.

Podcast styles, interviewing styles, how to create content, how to come up

with interview questions, how to do your marketing, how to get a website

done, how to design the podcast cover.

How to pick the right microphone for you, how to pick the right hosting

platform, how to, set up your recording studio so that you can get a high quality

show without spending a ton of money.

I didn't even talk about.

Everything.

That's just part of it.

We even talk about protecting your brand and trademarks and everything.

It is jam packed and I have to say, everybody who was part of the, one

day launch or podcast masterclass, they loved the classes so much.

In fact, a particular.

Wanted me to put together a training for them to train them on how to

put together their unique offer as well, so that they can start making

money from social audio apps like clubhouse and even from their podcast.

All I can say is you guys will love it.

It is going to be in the show notes.

You can go and check out more deals.

There.

And if you do have any questions, my email is going to be there

as well in the show notes.

And you can send me an email, but I can't wait to have you as part of

that, if you're ready to launch your show and just take things to the

next level, it is your time to shine.

It is your time to share your message with the world and don't let anything

hold you back because if it is a little scary, trust me, we've all been scared.

But what happens is when you're scared, you have to leap into that.

If you know that it's something that's going to be good for you, it's

going to be good for your future.

You just need to have a leap of faith and you need to dive right in scared

and all it doesn't have to be perfect.

Okay.

It does not have to be perfect.

It just has to be done.

So I encourage you to take that first.

And dive in and just make that commitment to yourself.

It just starts with that commitment.

Once you commit to yourself, trust me, everything else that you need is

going to fall into place the people, the resources, the encouragement.

Everything will come when you make a decision like that and you put it out

there in the universe, the universe is going to give back to you, and it's

going to say, okay, you know what?

You've made that commitment to your.

Now you are ready.

We're going to bring the right people to you.

We're going to bring the right resources to you and nothing's

going to get in your way.

So I look forward to seeing everyone shows launching.

And if you are in the process of already launching a show, send me a message.
