How to Start a Podcast from Scratch | how to start a podcast for beginners

[@thisisamistake7771]

I dreamed about a podcast that I would like to listen to myself and so now I am on KZbin to learn how to do this. I am 70 years old and might have spent at most 4 to 5 hours exploring what is a podcast. I thought either I didn't know how to find a topic that held my interest or maybe I am just too old. My dream podcast went something like this. It starts with a phone call but it's the wrong number. Some ideas running through my head are a truck driver and a stay-at-home Mom. They both hang up but later the Mom thoughts drift back to the wrong number the truck driver also has thoughts about the phone call. These thoughts are only a part of the podcast the day-to-day life is as important. Sometimes more important other times less. Maybe he shares what happened on the CB. She might not think of the call again until her kids are all tucked in bed and she is trying to go to sleep. The day-to-day stuff is open to the imagination of whoever would be interested in becoming a part of this.

Idk if this is a sign or what lol Ive been thinking about starting a podcast but I'm still on the fence about it. This video was very informative!

[@katie]

I’ve got more episodes coming this week so stay tuned!! I bet I might convince you to start by the end of this series 🥰

[@fromcnatonp]

Omg I’m in the same page!! I have mine all planned out!!

[@mikhailandrsn]

you should definitely start a podcast. just jump right in.

[@scorpioleovirgo9155]

Did any of you start your podcast??

[@rosemaryibrahim6835]

Do it!! The worse thing you could do is not start. If you have the urge to do something for yourself .. do it. ❤

[@phosphoruspodcast920]

After years of contemplating and delaying, finally decided to go for it. Very good points for beginners, helped us quite a lot at least :)

[@puncherdavis9727]

Big way podcasterss grow is being invited to and inviting other podcasters. Kind of of like self preparing by getting access to other peoples followers why they get your viewers. The more ya share with each other the more people etc etc success

[@priscillazucc4021]

Truly cannot believe this was free, you are a godsend THANK YOU!

[@ancientaligningfrequencies9189]

I give thanks for you and the energy you invest in teaching us so eloquently. You are amazing!

[@thebuttercottage526]

You have been amazingly helpful and generous. I am just getting started so I found you at just the right time. TY

[@katie]

I'm so glad!

[@beabetterbaddie]

I have been waiting on this! I launched my podcast "QT with a Pod" last month, and I still need all this information!

[@miriamsantini802]

Congrats mama!!!

[@naturalcreations40]

Hello Katie. Thank you for taking the time from your day, to walk us through this. This has been so helpful for me.

[@sasberry2837]

The bomb explanation!!!! This was literally the only video that felt like “podcast” for dummies ... 😹 TY for sharing and providing so much information on the topic... I’m off to the races 💃🏻

[@priscillachinsembu4669]

Oh wow thanks💕💕💕💕been killing g myself on how to go about my podcast. Thank you😍

[@curlyfries1133]

I’m launching my podcast this week! I’ve been working on this since April ❤️

[@katie]

That is awesome!

[@sumiya1985]

did you launch it?

[@jackiedudley658]

Thank you so much! My friend and I have been planning our new podcast, but thing provides a great, well-rounded plan. I appreciate it!

[@makhosazanandiwenimackina5786]

Hi, I'm planning to start a podcast, would you recomend that I use two languages interchangeably or I stick to English for a start

[@sabrinajoyperozzo]

This was a great video! I just started my podcast in February & feel like it's taking off! I post 5 episodes per week about mental health & encouragement for everyday life!

[@katie]

that's amazing! keep up the great work!

[@misscastro6390]

what is your podcast channel ?

[@sabrinajoyperozzo]

@@misscastro6390 I don’t have a channel here on YT I post to often. But it’s called RealPositiveGirl and you can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon, Stitcher, and loads of other places.

[@misscastro6390]

@@sabrinajoyperozzo Found you ! I'm going to start a podcast would love you to be a guest once i'm organised i'll give you a shout 🤗

[@sabrinajoyperozzo]

@@misscastro6390 Wow! That’s awesome! And I’m flattered! Thank you! I’d love to!

[@stephanielacey5065]

I am new to learning about Pod Cast and I really enjoyed listening to you.

[@PratishthaPatny]

It's all encompassing! I find this creater the best till now.. I'm planning to listen to the whole playlist. It's really step by step and easy to implement. I'd like to follow your ideas straightforwardly 👍😁 thank you for making this!

[@citizencoy4393]

DId you launch following her steps? How is your podcast going today?

[@Judysbayoubostons]

I'm so happy to find you. So, far I'm learning a lot. Thanks so much!

[@bevvywithbeth7996]

Thank you for making this, as I enjoy podcasts, I'd love to have one myself (especially as I have a better voice than face) but have no idea where to begin. I'll be following this series to use later!!

[@kaitlynswan7078]

This is great! I'm learning a lot from ya. I produce The Q Interview (guests like Denzel Washington, Adele, Ringo Starr) and we're still hitting a stagnant point. Your tips are super helpful!

[@AlrightHeyy]

this is so exciting! I'm about to start my own!

[@divyanshgoel128]

How is it going, what is it called

[@jordany3083]

Great Free content. Gary V would be proud haha. You mentioned not using anchor not being ideal for uploading but you don't give any recommendations as to what platform you do recommend using, or did miss that?

[@authenticallytrish]

I wish I had watched this BEFORE jumping into podcasting. 😅 I'm just learning as I go. Helpful info!

[@mishkalarsoncreations]

I think starting a podcast vs video on KZbin would be the ticket for me. Since my business is still a side hustle and I have limited hours to work on it, I think recording audio would be easier than video (especially in a shared space and with a cat lol). I just don’t know what people want to hear from me? How do you decide on a theme? I have a 40+ year colorful career plus a pretty weird life that I think could provide thought provoking content plus some good tips (don’t do what I did, basically).

[@savannahdaniels8112]

Hi Katie, I was wondering if you think YT Creators should also upload their initial 4 videos at the same time when they launch? Thanks for all this amazing content it’s really nice to hear from someone who’s an expert, doing this for other creators.

[@yvonneyvonne2513]

You are BRILLIANT. You remind me of my favorite marketing teacher at my local Community College. She too was brilliant (Dean of department).

[@ShalynnDay]

I was just thinking about starting a podcast so this is perfect timing! This video is super helpful ❤️

[@katie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sumiya1985]

Yes in deed did you start yours ?

[@KyraCaroline]

Do you have a video on preparing for guest interviews? Wondering what I need to send out beforehand or if they should just show up?

[@Smallchange4u]

You are so Amazing .. all this information is so priceless .. Thank you ❤❤

[@Welovehorrormovies]

I've always wanted to start a true crime podcast and I've planned it since lockdown but, I think I'm leaning towards horror movie reviews podcast instead. Since I am so passionate about horror. I am still very interested in true crime but I think horror movies is the way I'm going to go!

[@beatricedummer]

Oh thank you so much! I’m gonna start mine 😍

[@michelemejia9263]

what is the round screen called in front of your microphone in clips I see in this video? Your style is amazing and great value and content so thank you 😄

[@shivanar1257]

The fact that this video has 0 dislikes says it all! 👏❤️ Such valuable information! Thanks so much!

[@kaisermoses8616]

8 dislikes. That is a very good ratio.

[@strangeheartlandpodcast5974]

Thank you for doing this, I kinda got some vibes that you're frustrated with youtube but thank you for continuing on and pumping out amazing content. Hang in there Katie

[@katie]

yeah I'll be honest I'm definitely still trying to figure it out, but this is info I've been wanting to share for a while, so I thought I might as well create a nice concise series about it

[@Likelystory93]

So much value in this video!

[@Heelsandholster]

I’m forever grateful! Thanks for these tips!

[@HopeRojas]

This has been so helpful! I learned so much! Thank you! 😀

[@ONEOFTRUEBEAUTY]

Katie, Thank you for this information. Do you think Anchor is a good program?

[@manofurdreams1]

Katie, Thanks for providing this wonderful information about Podcast. Is your video specified for Apple Podcast/phone only or it can be used for other brand laptops/android phone devices? Also, you have used Riverside for making videos, editing et al. Does Riverside support non-Apple products? I am new to Podcast and thinking of creating a Podcast and already spent some good amount of money for cameras, micro, etc. and not working to my expectations based on not able to do the videos through laptops even connecting from Android phone. Your videos inspired me to spend less money in a more efficient way, but not sure if if its Apple product specific. Any information is helpful. Thanks!

[@chananjahduncan519]

soo helpful and detailed break down- Thank you Katie!!

[@bubbleslove7854]

Thank you soo much for making this video. I really appreciate it ❤️

[@JayashreeSahithya]

I want to get my hands on your bookshelf and organize it. I LOOOVE bookshelves lol. Ok, back to the video.

[@SIRENTAROT]

Researching. This is so helpful. Thanks! ✨🌹✨

[@shadrackmanano2593]

Am definitely going through all of the episodes

[@TheQuietCornerofYoutube]

This is a great video! I have an idea and want my 2021 New Years resolution to be to start a podcast. This is great inspiration

[@annadpreston7572]

Hi Katie. Luv this. I requested your podcast plan. Can't wait to get it! Are you using a script and teleprompter? Just wondered. You're great! I can only be great if I use a teleprompter script. Not because I don't know what I'm doing, but because I'm not a quick thinker on my feet. Thank you. Have a great day!

Hi Katie - great info and I am going to do everything you suggested. But I couldn't find the "Podcast Plan" you talked about. Is it still availalbe? Thanks Kay

[@tkucey8689]

But how do you actually do the technical part of it? Recording and mics, Editing uploading??

[@Welovehorrormovies]

I just made my description on anchor yesterday. I have to make a trailer next. But, I don't want to overwhelm myself! I just started my KZbin account 4 months ago, still learning to produce better content. And I just recently started my blog on tumblr and am trying to post more on Instagram. So I have to remind myself to slow down

Hi Katie this is exciting you light the spark on me to get back again, my podcast is: Cherry Terapias y Diabetes, but i want to do all different with new tools and new show, what do you think?

[@artvibestudios]

Hi I also started my podcast but don’t know what to talk about or pick a niche. Do you think is okay to introduce and talk about your podcast? And do you also think talking about art, drawings and self improvement, tech, impacting people would be a good think to pick for podcast?

[@mforrester7082]

Brilliant and informative as always. Thank you Katie.

Glad it was helpful!

[@dominiquemorehouse7189]

Scripts: do you have a video on script writing best practices

[@gregvandenbold8014]

You're simply fantastic

[@sincerelyomaina]

I started a podcast about a year ago, and I am just going back to it. Wondering if you have the Soundcloud pro account or just the free account? Cause I know you can only have so many episodes on there at a time? So I recently moved to Spreaker cause it is cheaper than Soundcloud pro but I am trying to weigh the benefits of paying for a hosting platform.

[@zrienkersh1475]

What do you think about shorter podcasts? 10-15 min episodes?

[@thekidpoe7426]

That’s what I’ve been trying to do too!
