  • Discover Your Unique Voice Finding Your Podcast Niche and Audience
    2025/08/21

    Starting a podcast can be an exciting journey, but it's essential to lay a strong foundation before you hit that record button. In this episode, I'm sharing three crucial elements that will set you up for podcasting success: selecting your niche, identifying your ideal listener, and crafting a mission statement.

    Choosing Your Podcast Niche

    Your niche is the specific topic or area your podcast will focus on. It's not just about broad subjects like gardening or hair care - it's about narrowing down to a particular aspect that resonates with your expertise and passion. For instance:

    • A hairdresser might focus on natural hair care techniques
    • A gardening enthusiast could specialize in attracting pollinators to flower gardens

    Remember, a well-defined niche helps you stand out in the crowded podcasting landscape.

    Identifying Your Ideal Listener

    Creating a detailed profile of your ideal listener, often called a podcast avatar, is crucial for tailoring your content effectively. Consider factors like:

    • Age and gender
    • Career stage or life situation
    • Specific challenges or aspirations

    For example, your avatar might be a 50-year-old woman planning for retirement or a 25-year-old college graduate navigating early career decisions.

    Pro Tip: Explore relevant online communities or survey your existing audience to uncover their pressing questions and concerns.

    "Your podcast is not for everyone. The successful way to determine who you're going to be speaking to on your podcast is to determine one person."
