Podcast Launch Plan

Avatar By The Creator Team

Most podcasts fail before episode 10. Avoid 'Fade' by building a content bank and a sustainable schedule before you hit publish.

The Core Problem

Launching without a clear 'Who' and 'Why'. If you're just 'talking about stuff' with a friend, you're not a creator, you're a hobbyist.

Strategy is about making choices, tradeoffs; it's about deliberately choosing to be different.

This is the "North Star" of growth!

Strategic Insight

The 'Rule of Three': Launch with 3 episodes. This gives new listeners a 'binge-able' experience and signals commitment.

How to Implement

Follow these three fundamental shifts in your daily workflow:

  • 01
    The Identity Statement: Write down: 'This podcast helps [Audience] solve [Problem] through [Format].' This is your North Star.
  • 02
    Batch Your First Month: Record 4 episodes before you launch your first one. This gives you a buffer for 'life stuff'.
  • 03
    Distribution Strategy: Use a host like Spotify for Podcasters or Buzzsprout to push your show to Apple, Spotify, and everywhere else automatically.
Podcast growth is slow, then fast. Surround yourself with systems so you can survive the slow part.
