Here is my experience and learning from Digital Pratik's 7 Days Podcast Roadmap Challenge - Day 6

On this day, I learned about choosing the best hosting platform to host your podcasts.

1. Anchor
2. Buzzsprout

Anchor is completely free to start your podcast show, Whereas Buzzsprout has 90 Days Trials and then a Membership fee per month.

So you can start your podcast journey by choosing either anchor or Buzzsprout.

Create a free account on either Anchor or Buzzsprout and then Mention all the necessary details and also choose the Right Category of your Podcast.

Creating Your Podcast Artwork

To create your podcast display picture you can either choose it to do it by yourself or you can take the help of a designer. I choose to do it myself on Canva. It's a great tool for non-designers and has templates, to begin with.

Now when you publish your first episode.
You must take care of your Episode Title & Description, It will help you in ranking your podcast while people search for some keywords on any podcast platform.

So choose the right set of words to mention in your episode title and description. You can use Co-Headliner, an online tool to create Catchy Headlines.

The podcasting platform does provide a scheduling option that you can use to schedule your upcoming podcasts.

If you're using then you have to submit your podcast to other podcast platforms such as Apple Podcast, Soundcloud, Spotify.

But on the other hand, Anchor this cumbersome task is easily managed by Anchor.

I hope this is useful.

On this day he shared about tools you need to start your podcast, So if you're doing it alone you just need a smartphone and a little silent place to record.

And for an Interview based podcast session, you can use Skype and Zoom and then record your whole session, Skype and Zoom also provide the functionality to download the video and audio tracks which you can later use it to publish your podcast.

A good podcast consist of various elements or sections -

1. Pre Roll - This is about a short overview of what you're going to get inside the podcast episode. This is usually about 10-15 seconds long.

2. Intro - After your Pre-Roll you have to introduce your podcast and little about yourself, a quick and crisp intro would be better, and then start your main episode.

3. Main Episode - Now after your crisp intro, Let your main episode can take over.

4. Mid- Roll Ads - These are bumper audio ads, alert messages, notices which you can incorporate between your main episode. Do it when you have an ample amount of subscribers to your podcast.

5. Outro - This is where you tell your audience to like, review, and share your content just like any youtube video's ending. You can even include a thank you note for listening to your podcast.

These are the 5 essential sections of a podcast.

Here is my experience and learning from Digital Pratik's 7 Days Podcast Roadmap Challenge - Day 3

On Day 3, I learned about what are the various format of a podcast and what are the various option you can choose to form your podcast.

So it goes like this -

1. The solo or monologue format of a podcast - In this form of a podcast, there is one person who does the talking, creating and publishing. It is easy to implement you don't need any outside help but hard to continue (not for lazy people) You need to have consistency and patience, to begin with, this kind of format.

2. Co-Hosted style or partner style format of a podcast - In this form of a podcast, along with the host there is a conversation partner, and they talk over a topic and record the whole podcast episode. for e.g., Marketing School By Neil Patel

3. Interview format of a podcast - This is an easy way out for you to use somebody else influence for your podcast but difficult to approach if you are a newbie & if you don't have a good question list then you can't deliver an ample amount of value to your audience.

4. Live Session format of a podcast - In this type of format, generally to export the audio of your live session over social media and modify it in a manner that it takes the format of an episode over a topic.

5. Survey-based Q/A format of a podcast - In this type of format you gather all the FAQ around your brand and then make an episode over a generalize topic and answer the queries of your audience. But for this to happen you need some existence of your brand.

6. Create your own format - you can create your own type of format in which you could personalize things in your own way and give your personal touch such as you can record your podcast while resting on a bean bag, grass mat, etc

This is about various types of formats you could choose from.

Here is my experience and learning from Digital Pratik's 7 Days Podcast Roadmap Challenge Day 2

So After Deciding the name of my Podcast and Planned out Content for my Podcast.

Now is the time to decide about content parameters such as

1. How long should your podcast episode be? - Start with 5 min podcast episode and later increase as you master your niche and according to your potential to go for long hour sessions. It totally depends on your potential and quality of content.

2. What's the best time & day to post your episodes? - This is something you have to figure out according to the stats of your listeners and subscribers. In the starting do things consistently and observe the pattern of your audience.

3. Concept of Seasonal Podcaster - Those podcasts are active for a period of time just like the seasonal mango business.

4. How to write great Headlines for your Podcast Episodes? - Use CoSchedule - Headline Analyzer - To write effective and engaging titles for your podcast episodes.
