What types of Podcast bases do you find? Let me introduce you into the three types of bases you find in Podcasts and notice if it will suit your needs, your skills, will your listeners be satisfied with the bases you choose and will they relate to it? You do not want to choose the wrong foundation to find half way you have made the biggest blunder in your career and it costs you thousands of dollars.
There are three types of Podcasting basis. By weighing up the pros and cons of each type, for a clear direction what basis suits you, your situation and your needs, and what the best base will be for your listeners. The three types of Podcasting bases are the Interview based Podcast, The Topic based Podcast and the Co-Host based Podcast.
Interview Based Podcast.
The guest brings the content. Prior to the Podcast recording, powerful relationship building in your niche market takes a large slice of your time, but is worth every second of it. Podcaster gurus used this strategy to build a seven-figure income business in a short time. You have a superb platform to reach out to your guest speaker, a voice and a Podcast.
For you the Podcaster, there is not a ton of preparation to do. You wake up in the morning, set up the equipment, know what questions you are going to ask your guest and let the conversation flow. You only prepare the guest introduction.
If you are not very well clued up with the speaking skills, work on it and you will drastically improve over time. Soon you will speak with confidence and a new microphone will give you a magic voice.
Your well-known guests in the niche market have already obtained a large audience. Successful and inspiring entrepreneurs all have one point in common and that is a massive audience. Send your guest an email the following morning with all the links in place to share with his audience. When you start from zero in the broadcasting world, you expose yourself to massive audiences for the first time which impact over a long time.
There are Cons in the broadcasting world, for instance finding your first guests are not always easy. Scheduling is a nightmare, but with time you will reach the top and automate the biggest part.
In reality, not all Podcasting experiences will shine, no matter what you do. There are also surprises, for instance, when you hesitate to publish a Podcast and expect the worst, listeners might email you saying that your interview struck a chord in a great way that inspired them.
When competing Podcasters see your success they might copy you, with the result the interview procedure might become repetitive to the listeners. Be unique, find your hook and your Podcasts out there!
Topic based Podcast
You are not relying on anyone else, it is just you. Some of these Podcasters are so gifted, they get up in the morning, switch on their microphones and discuss what they want to talk about. They do not have to find a guest, wait for him to show up for the interview, and then the show on the road. You do it all, for instance, you find topics and do research on what you want to host. You build authority and credibility in these topics and niche markets.
The problem with topic based Podcast is you will need to curate content you need in an interesting way, furthermore you are responsible for the growth, there is no help from the massive audience from a guest, it is just you and your knowledge. Guard against repetitiveness without fresh perspectives.
The Co-Host based Podcast.
From a listener’s point of view, there is nothing more refreshing than listening to two people who are in sync with each other. The jokes they make, and the witty sayings can make your day.
It allows for guest opportunities. There are shows with a co-host and a guest, it is double as much fun with the three people promoting your podcast.
Both these hosts need to share the same vision.
A leader who does take charge and steer the show in a new direction to avoid a stalemate.
The sad fact of life is when the two co-hosts paths diverge and their vision change and they go into their separate ways.
