Step 1: Choose Your Topic and Format (That’s Watchable)
Don’t just pick what you want to talk about — pick what people want to watch.
The easiest way to know that? Study YouTube.
Examples:
People love real conversations — relatable, raw, emotional.
They’re drawn to curiosity-driven titles like:
“Why Most People Fail Before 30 (Psychologist Explains)”
“She Left Her 9–5 for Podcasting — Here’s What Happened”
“How Spiritual Energy Actually Works (Not What You Think)”
💡 Pro Tip:
Structure your conversations like a story, not an interview.
Keep it curiosity-based — make the audience think, “what’s next?”
Step 2: Start with Video Podcast Setup (Even Simple Works)
Don’t overcomplicate gear. You can make great podcasts with a simple setup.
