Can I Make A Hit Podcast?inactive

Is it still possible to make a "hit" podcast in the 2020's?

With so many big production companies out there now, can someone with little time, no budget, and just the power of a home computer, still create a show which competes with the world's best?

I'm a former journalist and also a disillusioned podcaster, and last year I almost quit forever having made 5 lacklustre shows. But I decided to give it one more go to see if I could find the secret of making a "hit" show.

I'm documenting the whole process on social media and in this podcast.

There are a lot of articles and advice out there which claim it's still possible. So is it? Let's find out.

In this short update on the "Can I Make A Hit Podcast" project, I explain what is currently happening with the show and website.

Only today I was reading a comment on a podcast forum that said if your goal is to make money from your podcast you will fail.

And based on the enthusiastic "likes" the comment got, you would think it was a proven scientific fact.

But that doesn't seem to be the case and.. here is why.

Before you even start producing a podcast or recording anything, the best thing to do is to put all your equipment away and get out your laptop instead.

From my research there are around eight questions which help you determine how to make a successful podcast.

The first of these is probably the most important. It's the question "why?" Why are you doing this? Before you rush off thinking, "I know that!!!" pause for a moment.

Is the reason for doing it that you have in your head something to do with marketing or promotion?

The remainder of the details and the show links can be found on the website the website here.

Series Trailer

Welcome to the Can I Make A Hit Podcast Project. A show that takes a journalistic look at the world of podcasting to find out the what really works in backed by evidence.

In each show I draw together the results of my research, mixing it with findings, tutorials developed from the research and key background information.

The project has one mission, to discover the "science behind making podcasting that work."
