If you’ve been a listener of this show for a bit, you’ve probably heard similar episodes where I have shared all the tools you needed to launch your podcast and while today’s episode is similar, I am really getting scrappy here and only sharing 6 things you need to launch your podcast because I feel like the longer the “need to have” list is, the less likely people are to actually do it.
If you’re ready to get a more in-depth look at how to launch your podcast, make sure to download my Podcast Launch Blueprint.
- Microphone – I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, you don’t need a super fancy mic when you’re first starting out.
- Headphones – These don’t need to be anything fancy. You can just use your Apple earbuds if you’d like. In my opinion, the microphone is the most important of the two.
- Juicy content ideas – You can’t have a podcast without content – especially good content. I recommend having a slew of ideas ready to go before you even launch so that you can just map out the episodes instead of having to brainstorm new topics each and every week.
- Podcast Host – You’ll need a podcast host to syndicate your episodes to the top podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
- The right mindset – Mindset is huge when it comes to podcasting and most people don’t realize how much it actually comes into play until they start crafting their episodes.
- Editing software – If you’re planning on editing your show yourself, you will need to have editing software. I love and use Descript and I think it’s great for beginning editors since you can edit by deleting the words versus just by the waveform.
