KEY TAKEAWAYS

You don’t need a lot of equipment to get started but you do need some to get audio quality. Never record straight into your phone mic, it will sound awful and people won’t listen.
There’s no need to edit out every ‘uhm’ and ‘ahh’, filler words are a natural part of conversation, you want your podcast to sound authentic and not over-processed.
You can use existing content as a starting point but you don’t have to create blog content to use before starting a podcast!
A monotone or ‘neutral’ voice will turn people off a podcast.
Too much planning can be detrimental. It’s best to create the content first and then create the narrative.
Think about your ideal listener and focus the content you create around them.
Building an audience is the most important element of a podcast, you need to work on this first before anything else.
Don’t do anything that takes away from your podcast content being the best it can be. If you take too much focus away from your core podcast content to do trends, it will be to the detriment of your podcast.
If you are only doing something for monetary gain, your audience will see through it.
If you need to instantly monetise from the beginning, then focus on sponsorship.
Use giveaways to incentivise people to follow and review within a time window you want, to help you rank.
