Thinking of starting a podcast but worried no one wants to hear what you have to say or that the podcasting space is already oversaturated?
Let’s crush that doubt right here, right now! Your voice is a f*cking treasure, and the world is dying to hear your unique take. YOU’RE READY, and it’s time to share your magic with an audience that’s just waiting for YOU!
First off, let’s set the record straight: the podcasting landscape is anything but saturated. Did you know that as of 2024, there are over 5 million podcasts out there, but only about 20% are active?
This means there’s still a massive opportunity for you to step into your power and claim your space in this vibrant medium.
According to a recent study, 78% of people listen to podcasts regularly, with a whopping 55% tuning in for more than 7 hours a week. Your audience is out there, hungry for the wisdom and stories that only YOU can share.
You’ve got to embrace the fact that your voice and experience are VALID and VALUABLE. Every time you speak, you have the potential to change lives.
For every person who doesn’t resonate with your message, there are countless others who will. Your stories, struggles, and triumphs are relatable, and they can be the lifeline someone else is desperately searching for.
When you start your podcast, remember that it’s a long game. Look at podcasting as the easiest way to build trust with prospective clients or customers and build a community of people who feel like your soul family. It’s a casual way to share your story, teach lessons, give value, and build intimacy with your community.
And let’s not forget the beauty of collaboration. Your podcast can open doors to networking with other badass entrepreneurs and visionaries. Think of the amazing guests you can invite to share their insights, and how their audience can discover YOU in the process.
In a world where so many voices are vying for attention, yours is essential. You have a light that can guide others and NOW is the time to let it shine.
Your podcast isn’t just a project; it’s a powerful way to elevate your voice, build your authority, and connect with others who resonate with your message. It’s time to step into your power, share your raw stories, and transform lives—starting with your own.
You ARE ready now. You DO know enough right now. And you will be successful just by being fully, unapologetically YOU—no edits required. Let’s do this, gorgeous!
