How to Start a Podcast Series: Step Three: Content Planning [130]

You need content to podcast…but sometimes we have so many great ideas that it can be really hard to narrow these ideas down and turn them into action. And, with podcasting, your content is crucial. How do you transform those ideas into actual episodes? 

Today, Kristin is walking listeners through step 3 of starting a podcast…content planning. Content planning is about designing your content to align with who you are and sharing it systematically. 

Few key points from today’s episode:

• One of the first decisions you need to make is about the frequency of your episodes. Will you be producing weekly? Biweekly? Whatever you choose, keep it consistent. 
• You need to have a vision. Take time to really sit with the vision of your podcast. What is your ultimate goal? Who is your target audience? What value do you want to provide them?
• Think of a content plan as a map; it shows you the way but doesn’t restrict you from exploring other locations.
• Think about what you can offer your listeners. Whether it’s insights, interviews, or entertainment, make sure each episode delivers something valuable.

Don’t let a content map or plan limit you; instead, harness it for the power that it holds. With content planning, podcasting becomes much easier and more consistent. It frees up your creativity, allowing you to focus on delivering great content rather than scrambling for ideas at the last minute.

Content planning is an essential step in transforming your ideas into actionable podcast episodes. It aligns your content with your identity, ensures consistency, and helps you maintain a clear vision for your podcast’s future. 

 from Today’s Episode:
“Take time to really sit with your vision, you need a vision for your podcast”
“Use a content plan: you don’t have to be married to it. But, it’s beneficial to have a plan and it allows you to go deeper.”
