Making a Podcast in 30 Days Using This Simple Podcast Launch Checklist

To get started with your show and launch it successfully, you need to start with the basics. You want to get the foundations right so when you’re making a show, it’s built on solid ground. 

Step 1 of the podcast launch checklist: Plan out the fundamentals

1. Set a launch date for your show. 30 days is realistic to get all the pieces ready to go.
2. Name your show. You’re going to create your 5-tier brand map and make sure you’ve got a strong title for your podcast.
3. Create the tagline for your show. You need to know exactly what your promise is for your show. Your tagline needs to be super clear so your listeners know what your show is about.
4. Create channel art for your show. The graphic needs to look good and professional. 
5. Write a description for your show. This gives potential listeners more detail about your show and how you’re going to help solve their problems.
6. Pick your podcast category. This will help you get found on the podcast sites.
7. Build your show content pillars. This is what you will talk about on your show.
8. Understand your avatar. You need to know who you’re speaking to and what their needs are! 
9. Decide your podcast structure. Will you do seasons or episodes? What is the frequency and how long will each episode be?
10. Sign up with your podcast host. I use Podbean for my podcast. (If you sign up with my link, you’ll get your first month free!)
11. Choose your recording software. This is where you’ll record and edit your episodes.
12. Plan out your first three episodes. What do you want to talk about for the first few episodes that will be part of your launch?

Step 2: Set up the technical pieces for making your show

This step is about getting the technical pieces set up and ready to go so you can actually publish your new show.

1. Set up your RSS feed so it shows up on all the platforms. You can do this inside your host platform. I also teach you how to do this in my course, Podcast Pro University. If you want some help walking through all the tech, this course will help you do all of that!
2. Record an intro and an outro. This normally gives your listeners some basic info about your show with music in the background.
3. Lay out your episode outline and content with your avatar in mind.
4. Organize each episode so it follows the ISTC formula.
5. Create a list of your first 10 episodes. 
6. Record and edit your first three episodes.
7. Upload your first 3 episodes to your host. 

Step 3: Launch your podcast

You may be feeling some anxiety as it comes to this stage, but I promise you that you are qualified to start your own show. It’s totally possible for you to make money with a podcast! Don’t let those fears keep you stuck. You have to begin and hit publish.

I have a super simple 7-step launch strategy plan that I give to you in the Podcast Launch Checklist. It’s going to help you have a highly successful launch so that once you’ve finished making your show, you can get it out into the world easily and get traction.

Everything you need for making a podcast and launching it in 30 days or less!
