Launching a Fresh Small Entrepreneurial Audio Series
In an intense yet exhilarating week, the small business podcast, Candid Conversations, was brought to life. Co-hosted by the writer and their biz bestie Dan, this new project aims to share the adventures of small business owners and communications specialists, providing real, raw stories and behind-the-scenes insights to inspire listeners with their businesses.
The journey began two days after the idea for the podcast was conceived. The first podcast episode was recorded, and the website for the podcast was launched shortly after. The first episode will air within the next week, marking the official debut of Candid Conversations.
The podcast has a clear mission and vision, with a list of potential guests and sponsors, an outline of what each episode would look like, a working to-do list with deadlines, and a purchased domain name. The podcast's website, designed to complement the podcast, was created with Kit, ensuring a seamless user experience.
The creation of Candid Conversations has been a gamble, as with any new project. However, the writer expresses a feeling of optimism about how people will receive the podcast. The writer invites readers to share their experiences of moving quickly on a business project in the comments below.
For those interested in starting their own podcast, a practical timeline and steps from RSS.com’s guide can be followed. This process, spanning about 1-2 months, involves planning the podcast concept, recording and producing initial episodes, setting up hosting and distribution, and releasing the show consistently while promoting it.
Examples of successful small business-focused podcasts to inspire content include This Is Small Business, Grow A Small Business Podcast, and Small Business Pivots. By drawing from these examples, the creators of Candid Conversations aim to create valuable content within the entrepreneurial niche as they grow.
In the coming weeks, the focus will shift from launch to ongoing development. This includes regularly creating episodes, engaging with listeners, and refining the approach based on feedback and downloads. The early stages emphasize launch and initial audience growth, while ongoing development focuses on consistency, audience engagement, and content improvement.
As the writer prepares for the e-course launch, client work, and the April Begin Your Biz Challenge, the journey of Candid Conversations continues. Stay tuned for the first episode, airing within the next week!
