What are the best podcast niches for beginners?

Forget about market niches. The only niche which is sustainable, enjoyable and profitable is you. The things you are passionate about are the only niche you should be working on, at least in the beginning. If you do not know where to start, just begin with a subject you enjoy. Each subject has its audience - It could be anything from productivity to football to travel to gardening. Think of it as a three-step process 1. Get Started 2. Get Good 3. Get Smart Things have a beautiful way of figuring themselves out. Just start!

If you are a very beginner to podcasting, try these: 1. Solo podcast: Start recording your thoughts. You can keep notes as points and just express your thought flow. This will help you to align your thought process with your speech. Also, this will give you some confidence while talking. 2. Podcast with friends: This is another format that will help you improve your communication. When you talk with your friends, you use informal communication. But when you and your friend start a conversation and record it for the audience, you will add a little bit of formality while maintaining casual communication. 3. If you want to start a podcast with someone who is an expert, start with a person whom you know well.

The best niche is the one that you are most passionate about. This has been the driving force behind the Cricket Library Podcast. I have not needed to try and fit a niche, my love of the game is a niche that exists and my passion for the game attracts those who have a similar passion.

The best niche is the one that passionates you. Don't talk about dogs if you like them, but what really ignites your passion are books. And go further, ask yourself what types of books. Let's say that you are a SiFi Fan, talk about that, and I will say go deeper. Talk about the specific type of SiFi books that you enjoy, and where you probably have a community. I bet there are going to be tons of people that actually share your interest and will be happy to hear your takes on that specific topic.

Alguns formatos são mais populares e têm mais apelo do grande público - embora naturalmente um número maior e mais saturado de podcasts na rede: entrevistas, reacts e listas. Seja lá qual for sua escolha, lembre-se de que todo mundo gosta de se divertir. A maioria das pessoas que consomem audiovisual quer, de alguma forma, se esquecer dos problemas do dia a dia, para aprender ao mesmo tempo em que sorri. Por isso, independentemente do formato que escolher, opte por um estilo leve, com script alto astral, e tons bem-humorados. Leve ao público uma perspectiva diferente e de copo mais cheio sobre os assuntos.

Pick a podcast format which you can sustain over a significant period. Sure, doing an interview podcast with great guests makes for wonderful listening, but do you have the time to book and chase guests? If you do, by all means let that be your format. You can always start small with a storytelling / solo podcast and once you get comfortable, play around with the formats. Your audience will tune in as long as you can provide them with value.

Podcast monetization is the outlier, not the norm. Most people will not make money off their podcast, because they will not sustain it long enough for them to build an audience. One of the best ways to monetize is to provide your audience with value which is beyond the podcast itself. Here is a non-exhaustive list of things podcasters offer to their audience at a price 1. Books 2. Courses 3. Personalised Coaching 4. Physical Products 5. One on One meetups 6. Patreon / Buy me a Coffee memberships

If you chose a niche because you think you can make money in it, you're starting your podcast for the wrong reason. Yes, it's nice to make money from your podcast, but there are easier ways to make money than podcasting. Only a very small percentage of podcasters make a living from their show. Successful podcasters do it because they are passionate about their niche and want to provide value to their listeners. Making money is a bonus to them.

Your podcast can evolve over time. Over the past eight years, I've changed, added, and eliminated sections of my show. I've gotten rid of parts that didn't work or I got tired of doing. I've added new things I hadn't considered before. I've rearranged sections to have some come before others and back again. I've asked my listeners what they liked and didn't like and made adjustments when I deemed them worth it. Think of your podcast as an ongoing experiment. Tweak it as often as you want in order to provide your audience with the best content and value you can.

If you are choosing to use podcasting to grow your business, your niche chooses you vs the other way around. You should have your area of expertise, your ideal client already mapped out. It's just a matter of how niche you want to go and who you want your audience to be.

Um dos formatos populares de podcast é o de lista. Programa produzido para falar e reagir a listas tem tudo para ser bem sucedido, uma vez que o formato geralmente é direto ao ponto, com trocas bem-humoradas entre os participantes e, principalmente, por prender o ouvinte - que ficará na expectativa do próximo item. Alguns exemplo de programas do tipo: - 15 maiores bandas de Rock da história... - Top 5 dos mais injustiçados pelo Oscar E por aí vai...

Niching down can attract a more loyal audience. But you can niche down too far. A podcast for single dads trying to raise daughters might be a great niche. However, a podcast for single dads trying to raise left-handed daughters who stutter will find it harder to attract an audience. Before launching my Resourceful Designer podcast in 2015, I considered targeting graphic designers approaching retirement age before realizing how narrow an audience I would have and how limited my topics would be. I expanded it to designers running their own businesses from home, which was a much better niche and provided me with many more topics to cover. I'm still going strong after 8 years.

The most important aspect for a beginner is knowing that you will evolve. As you get more experience with podcasting, you will add topics, remove topics, tweak formats, etc. Pick a niche that is representative of the intersection of your multiple interests.
