Initially you might feel overwhelmed with the process of launching your first podcast show. It might seem to be a long time to convert your idea into a podcast.

3 Simple steps to get you started with your podcast

Determine your concept

When starting a podcast, one of the most important steps is determining your concept. What do you want to talk about? Will you have a co-host or are you going solo on this project? Decide the format you feel most comfortable with. 

Think outside the box and get creative with your ideas so people will tune in for more than just entertainment. Your podcast will thrive when you offer listeners something different that they can't find anywhere else!

You want your podcast to be engaging but you also need a name that's both descriptive as well as searchable so listeners can find it easily. A catchy title that says something about the content of each episode is definitely required.

Record and edit your podcast with Hubhopper Studio

There are several software available online for recording. For your ease, Hubhopper Studio offers its own studio editor that allows the creator to record and edit the podcasts on the web browser itself. Don’t worry if you make a mistake as you can correct it while editing. No one does it seamlessly in one go. It is easy to use and does not require any software to be downloaded.

Have a plan in hand before you record the show. Start with the end goal in mind. Write down what you want to achieve from this show. What you want to share with the audience. What is the purpose?

After recording, now is the time when you fix everything and make it sound good to finally share it with the world. You can easily edit your audio files on the Hubhopper Studio editor itself. After editing the audio, you need to export the podcast file into an MP3 file. Save your project and then upload your audio file to publish your podcast live. 

If you wish to use your mobile phone to create and manage your podcast, you can download the Hubhopper mobile app for Android available on the Google Play Store. You can also see this guide to learn more about the process in detail.
