Hey Friend!
No matter what your passion is, you can launch a podcast and share it with the world. Tech is improving rapidly making planning a podcast easier and easier! Truly, the reason having a podcast for your business is so great is that your listeners get to know, like, and trust you quickly. When people trust you, they will invest in your business. Read on to learn how to start a podcast in a month or less!
Framework to Go From Planning a Podcast to Launching in Only 30 Days!
Before diving into your 4-week framework for your show, you need to already know exactly what your podcast will be about and who your avatar is. If you are not clear on this yet that’s totally okay! My course Clarify Your Calling will get you crystal clear on both of these and then you’ll be ready to dive into this framework and launch your podcast.
Week 1: Planning a podcast requires outlining key details
- Name of the podcast
- Write a clear tagline with your promise to your niche market
- Write the show description including important keywords
- Figure out the 5 pillars of your show
- Build a content map under each pillar
- Figure out what you want to share from that map over the next 2-4 weeks
Week 2: Start a podcast successfully with the building process
- Have someone else create your podcast art. Trust me, you want professional-quality podcast art. I like Fiverr and also highly recommend Ale Merino.
- Set up your Podbean account. I teach you all about this step in Podcast Pro University so you start on the right foot immediately.
- Upload your podcast name, tagline, and description, and fill out the metadata, and podcast art into Podbean.
- Record your intro and exit for your show.
Having a podcast is the #1 way to generate organic leads without having to hustle or show up on social media 24/7. It’s life-giving!
– Stefanie Gass
Week 3: Record and edit your first few podcast episodes
- You’ll record episode number one which is the introduction to your podcast and the pillars you’ll be teaching.
- In episodes 2 and 3 you’re going to share your avatar’s top struggles from your podcast planning. (If you need help, read Juicy Market Research Questions to Ask to Learn Your Target Market.
- Edit each episode right after recording or outsource editing altogether. It should not take longer to edit each podcast than the episode length.
- Upload each episode into Podbean.
Week 4: Publish your podcast and promote it
- The goal is to get as many written reviews as possible.
- Click publish on those first 3 episodes.
- Ask all your friends and listeners to share.
It’s really that simple to start a podcast and grow your business in an organic way with people who know, like, and trust you! If you want even more detail and relevant trainings, head over and grab my Podcast Launch Checklist! Then, you have an evergreen way to impact your listeners with what God is calling you to do, all while growing a scalable, organic business.
Now, if you are feeling overwhelmed and want someone to walk you through each of these steps, head over to Podcast Pro University. There I teach you these steps in-depth and show you exactly how to set this all up correctly. By planning a podcast the right way, you don’t have to go back and fix things later. No one has time for that!
If all of this sounds great but you’re not quite sure if you’re ready to start a podcast, I have a quiz you can take to see if you’re ready. I want you to succeed, and if that means you aren’t ready, that’s okay. When you are, I can help you get there!
I pray this blesses you!
Xo,
Stef

Frequently Asked Questions
How much money does it take to start a podcast?
Starting a podcast should not be expensive! Invest in a cord mic like a Yeti and hosting software like Podbean. I would also follow a step-by-step framework like Podcast Pro University to launch a podcast with success. You’re looking at between $150-$700 maximum one-time investment to start a podcast!
What’s the best way to start a podcast?
Get clear on your niche, pick a SEO keyword-rich podcast title, get clear on who you’re serving and do some market research. Then, follow my free step-by-step plan like the one at https://podcastlaunchchecklist.gr8.com/.
Can I make my own podcast cover?
I do not recommend it unless you are a graphic designer. The art of your podcast is like the cover to your book. Want to be a best seller? Then you should invest in professional quality art.
What are the biggest mistakes podcasters make when starting a podcast?
When launching a podcast, people often make the mistake of having too large of a niche, not choosing an SEO specific podcast title, not being consistent, and overpaying for editing and equipment. Keeping it simple, streamlined and consistent is key.
