Podcasts face stiff competition. There are so many competing for virtually any keyword combination you can come up with. However, if you don’t want to completely give up on your dream of launching your project, you need to choose a name that reflects your brand, your product or service and your values.

The name of your podcast is what people will hear or see first. It needs to be memorable enough for a potential reader or listener to remember and look it up. If the name of your project doesn’t make sense, has a strange spelling or is instantly forgotten, you’ll never get the audience you deserve. Learn more now

Podcasts can be divided thematically into two categories: Niche or Lifestyle. Even though a lifestyle podcast contains a limited number of complementary topics, the topics have different themes. Health, fashion and movie reviews may all appeal to the same person or audience, and they may even have related or overlapping topics, but by definition a niche is small and specialized.

One of the most frequently asked questions to developers is: How do you come up with your ideas? Anyone who has ever created anything knows that ideas come to you anytime, anywhere. When thinking of a theme and niche for your show, ask yourself the following questions:

What do I absolutely love?

What are the special things I love about it?

If you can answer these questions, you’re well on your way to having a good idea for a show. For example, let’s say you absolutely love video games. Just love them and play them all the time. But what about the ones you love? Maybe it’s the community and the friends you make through online gaming. So here’s a good idea: a podcast about online communities in games and relationships.

If you simply need to record audio for more than 2 people and aren’t sure what the other people’s preferences are, Zencastr may be just what you need. As a browser-based web app, Zencastr uses each computer’s local storage to record either a WAV or MP3 file, depending on your preferences and subscription. Free users get MP3 recordings, while premium members can access the lossless WAV files. Once the recording is finished, the files are automatically uploaded and the host can download each person as a single audio track. Depending on your subscription level, there are also post-processing options that can be done directly through the app. Learn more now

Although the old adage is that you should never judge a book by its cover, people do. The same thing happens with podcasts. Potential listeners judge the quality, colors and composition of your podcast cover before they ever hear a second of your show. This means that as a creator, you should be sure to adhere to some basic principles for your podcast art that will get people to dig deeper into your content. Learn more now

Once you’ve recorded some podcast episodes and are ready to get them out into the world, you have just one step left: submit your show to the myriad podcast directories for distribution.
