Now that you know the basics of podcasting it’s time to start your own. In this episode I’ll discuss how to plan a podcast that’s used as a marketing tool for your business.

The key to podcast marketing is to provide the consumer with something, whether that be information about an interesting topic or entertainment, in addition to introducing them to your business or brand. It is important that podcast marketing aligns the brand with a topic, niche community, industry, or something similar and poses the brand as a thought-leader or entertainer within their community/industry. It’s important to choose a topic that is evergreen, meaning you can forever create content about it. Consistency is key for a podcast, so if you can only think of a handful of episodes about your topic, you’ll need to choose something else.
