Episode notes
Define A Clear Listener Promise
- Do define a clear "listener promise" before starting a podcast so listeners instantly know the episode payoff.
- A unique, repeatable promise makes a show easier to market and keeps guests aligned.
Test With Lives Before You Launch
- Try a low-friction live format (Instagram/Facebook) before launching a podcast to test interview comfort and format.
- Dipping a toe saves setup cost and reveals if you enjoy broadcasting interviews.
Feedback ≠ Payment
- Early feedback meetings show interest but won't prove willingness to pay for your product.
- Time spent iterating for applause without asking for money can hide missing product-market fit.
