Things to do before launching the podcast

Like any backbreaking work, podcasting takes a lot more work than it looks from the outside. 

It’s not always about effortlessly recording fun conversations with friends or celebrities. Instead, creating just one episode involves more planning and organizing than you’d ever thought possible.

Before you launch your podcast, there are a few things required to do:

• release a few episodes on launch day
• plan your business strategy
• plan your promotional strategy
• hire a podcast manager if you don’t have time to manage all subtasks needed for smooth flow
