Niche podcasting is the practice of creating a podcast that is tailored to a specific audience. This could be an audience based on interests, demographics, or even a specific profession.
There are many benefits to niche podcasting. First, it allows you to target a specific audience with your content. This means that you are more likely to attract listeners who are interested in what you have to say. Second, niche podcasting makes it easier to stand out from the competition. There are millions of podcasts out there, but there are only a few podcasts in each niche. This means that you have a better chance of being found by your target audience. Whether that be on the everyday friend conversation niche like Toni & Ryan (NSFW) super funny or as informative and thoughtful as Thomas Frank’s productivity podcast. On a completely different note, let me know how you pronounce ‘niche’--are you a Nitch like witch or Neesh like Sheesh?
Here are some tips for niche podcasting:
Choose a niche that you are passionate about. This will make it easier for you to create content that is interesting and informative. It can also help you narrow down your research and subject matter when creating.
Research your target audience. What are their interests? What are their pain points? (Do they have pain points?) What kind of content do they want to consume? What kind of content ARE they consuming?
Create high-quality content. Your content should be well-produced and informative. Make sure that you are providing value to your listeners. You must ask yourself the question, does my podcast add to the audience's experience?
Promote your podcast. Share your podcast on social media and other online platforms. Reach out to other podcasters in your niche and ask to be a guest on their shows. By becoming a subject expert in one field, you become a valued guest on a variety of podcasts–which can help drive traffic to YOUR podcast.
