2. Select a name

3. Work on an appealing podcast description
When somebody clicks on the title, they will be redirected to the description page and it will look too unprofessional to not have a description. So, you need to write an impressive description of your podcast that can lure people to listen to it. Adding things that you are going to talk about and how they are interesting and knowledgeable can give information to people about your podcast. However, longer descriptions are boring and many people donโt like to give them a read, so, another thing to ensure here is to write descriptions in minimum words possible like 5-6 lines may be good enough.
4. Think about the format
Formatting your podcast involves deciding what you are going to do here and how such as taking interviews or talking about yourself, the running time of the podcast, and selecting the days of publishing.
5. Create the music and artwork for your podcast
People often get fond of graphics, so creating artwork that can be displayed on the screen when your podcast is running can help engage the audience. Similarly, a little bit of unique music is also vital to give your podcast an exceptional voice just like any other show.
6. Buy the necessary podcast equipment
From microphones to a whole lot of broadcasting setup devices, you will need many equipment. However, you can initially start with essential equipment, which is a microphone with top-notch audio quality. Rest you can buy later to improve your experience.
7. Pick a hosting service
A hosting service is crucial such as Fusebox and Libsyn to get your podcast episodes uploaded as hosts will upload your episodes in popular directories, so more people can listen to them.
