How are u doing my name is rashad Burt and my solo podcast is called the Malinnial mind state show and its about life experiences and relationships I’m going to start my new podcast soon
I am late to the show but this was much needed. I just launched and instantly felt like an imposter and that I might not be 'All that' interesting. My show is Sera Says and it is about guiding students from highschool to profession in The Gambia and beyond.
Hi Sera, that's amazing! Keep at it...you'll learn so much more about the direction of your show and how your message can have a larger impact the more you do it.
I'm starting a solo podcast. I've been reluctant to do it because I was worried that it would be very narcissistic but I took a self-inventory and I realized that out of everything I do in my life, I don't have any kind of creative outlet. So in going to give podcasting a shot even if nobody is going to listen to it. I'm not trying to make any money out of it or try to become Joe Rogan or something. People have told me that I'm a raconteur so I just think I could tell some stories on it in an interesting and entertaining way. This was very helpful by the way.
I'm so glad you found it helpful. And any time I have doubts about my solo episodes I ask the question, "How can I add value to someone's day?" And all of the self-doubt disappears because the spotlight is pointed on my audience and not me. You got this!
This was very helpful! My show is Ask The Right Questions. It’s a podcast that focuses on providing people with practical tips so they can take ownership of their health and wellness
Just found this video and was so glad I did. I started a podcast called The Midnight Gemini and it’s about being Gemini and what our life is like and the perspectives we have about things. It’s been a learn-as-I-go endeavor, but I’m improving. With this piece of info, I think I’ve got the missing piece to make my solo show so much better. Thank you.
2 years after you posted this, and google has brought me here. Thank you for this, I am about to embark on the journey of solo podcasting about leadership and management, Particularly for those of us that are introverts.
Haha so freaking useful. My podcast is called Break The Chain and it’s about breaking generational patterns and limiting societal norms. And I actually talk about how I overcame my own toxicities. So this was just confirmation. Amazing! Amazing! Amazinggg! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
i will be starting my solo podcast in the coming week, tackling a variety of topics political views, fatherhood, double standards, sports, mental health awareness, just put up my first duo podcast episode this past Sunday for the intellect connect with a friend from high school. this video definitely helped me get a starting point on which route to take starting my solo podcast. thank you
I'm a brand new podcaster. My show is called Sh*t That Scares Me, and it's all about shit that scares me. It's a solo show with occasional guests, and my target audience is me. The goal is to create content that I'd want to listen to. I have a trailer up on Spotify and Sticher, but I'm waiting for approval for Apple and Amazon. Thanks for creating these videos. They're been super helpful!
Hi Teresa and thanks for sharing about your show. Do you a specific launch date of when you're going to start uploading more episodes? Or are you just waiting for it to populate on all the platforms?
The concept of acting as both the interviewer and interviewee is fascinating. This approach seems like it could add so much value and really resonate with my listeners. I'm going to try writing down my own questions and answers to guide my next episode.
I’m starting a solo podcast soon which will be discussing societal issues that don’t get enough coverage. After months of prepping, I’m so grateful to find this! Just what I needed, thanks so much 🎉
Nice and sweet video. I finished planning and preparing for my solo podcast last month but still haven't started. A stupid excuse I give my self is that it is too cold right now so let's just wait for february.
Interview yourself,is something very spontaneous in itself & can be put to action while planning & structuring a solo podcast. I plan to debut my solo podcast on"oral health & associated concerns & solutions". Please advice me on how should I structure & execute that to make it absorbing for my audience while I deliver it.
Unable to sleep at 3:52 am I was browsing through U Tube and decided to listen to you since Im about to to podcast for the first time and am Intimidated since I have no experience and my content will be based on substance use issues since Im an addiction counselor....you make sound so easy and but give me confidence. Any other tips you may have to help me muster more courage? LOL
I am a co-host right now on a mental health podcast and am launching my own solo podcast in a couple of weeks also focusing on hypnosis and mental health. I want my solo podcast to be informative but also fun and funny (helpful but not so serious!). I've been practicing clinically for almost 29 years so I have a lot of information that I want to share with people. My solo podcast is The Motor City Hypnotist Podcast.
My podcast, Question It, just launched this week. In it, I ask the HARD questions and share where I've landed on the topic. That said, this advice really resonates with me because it's helping me SHIFT how I can show up and respond. Rather than "lecture", I feel like maybe this advice will help me "tell my story" and how/why I landed on my view, ultimately. Thanks! ☮️❤️🤝
My name is Karl Darden. I live in Arizona, and I just started a solo sports podcast about month ago. It's tied to my sports blog. The audience is pretty specific because I cover the Men's & Women's sports played at the U.S. Naval Academy. So the target audience is typically any fan of Naval Academy sports: the Midshipmen currently attending, their parents, graduates of the Academy, and anyone in the local area that follows Navy sports. The first episode was completely solo. I had interviews for the next three, but at least half the show was still just me. So no co-host. The name of the podcast is Navy Sports Central. Thanks for the tips!
I don't really have a topic but its called Saturday code and its supposed to be one with short episodes that some one can listen to every Saturday morning I was thinking of a question like what if you were tapped on an island alone I just talk about that one question
What is one specific theme that you can tie to all the episodes you'll record? When you figure that out, you'll be able to record easier and market your show to a more specific audience.
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I just launched my first podcast today on buzzsprout and Spotify. My channel is called Gypsies Landing and my first episode is called following your dream. This episode shares about my journey to start my first podcast episode and hopefully reflects to the listener how they can relate in their own way. I want my channel to be about love, connection, spirituality and vulnerability. I want to make a community that loves and believes in the same values. I don’t know where my journey is headed as solo or interviewing at some point because I just started showing up for me and doing what I love. I need to practice speaking further away from the microphone or off center because I heard my breathing too much and I don’t know how to minimize that yet. Then I would try to cut them out and it made it a bit choppy. I’m also trying to figure out how fast to talk and how to flow from one point to the other since I am talking on my own out loud. I tried the outline to not ramble but it’s hard having a natural conversation to not go off track then it was hard to reel myself back in lol I definitely want it to be more natural than scripted. I’m excited for the journey and how I will learn and grow for whatever comes next.
Thanks for sharing about your show and experience recording. My biggest recommendation is to keep recording - you'll get better. Is there a specific place you want help with? If so, I can send you video links.
Omg I needed this. I have an asmr channel with a small following in the 8,000 subscriber range. And alot of them said they would follow my podcast. I am starting a mom podcast for any & all moms who want some raw honesty, with insightful advice on things that are so stigmatized in being a mother. It was supposed to be a 2 woman show. Now it's just me myself & I. WHERE do I do a podcast?? UA-cam?? Spotify?? Like how & where do I even start?!?!? Lol
Im really late to this party - but I am considering starting a podcast that focuses on psychogical hacks to help people be happier, more productive, and lead overall better lives. I'm actually a psychologist, and I want to present this in a very accessible way - kind of like psychology for the masses. Still working on a name. And still in the contemplation/planning stage.
That's indeed a great idea! Always be motivated 👍But I am pretty late too. I recently created my own podcast about motivational stuff and reciting inspiring poems. It would be great if you could listen and follow me! Here's the link- anchor.fm/garnish-words And Please subscribe to my channel too! Positive vibes : )
Thanks for sharing, Chris! And I have to tell you, you're definitely NOT late to the party! The party is just getting started - in my opinion. 😉 Where you can stand out for your show is really focusing on either a key demographic that you want to speak to and what unique qualities/stories/personality traits you can bring to the table. But I'm happy you're here hanging out with us in this community!
Damn, I just had the idea to do a Solo Podcast since my life experience is very varied and interesting I think. I didn't think that it was a thing (solo podcast) until searching and found your channel Krystal. I also know many interesting people that I could interview as well.
Hey Andrew! Yes, solo podcasts are great! But I am a fan of having a mixture of solo episodes AND interviews. Everyone has to find their own balance of how often to have each on their show, but I've found it helps avoid podfade, AKA podcast burnout.
Wow! Another great tip!! I just started the Nurse Acumen Podcast where I help repeat test-taker nurses envision passing their next attempt at their licensure boards using a simple strategic approach I created and share. I just started my podcast, literally haven’t announced the hard launch yet, and found this video so helpful with planning my content!! Thank you so much for sharing this! ✨
Thanks for this informative video. I noticed for myself that I would interview myself whenever I drove to work or whenever I was alone in the house. It is like therapy. I started uploading videos like 2 to 3 weeks ago but I never did the interview myself approach. Thanks for this tip. I know I will definitely use it =)
My podcast name is Kings Talk. The primary focus is men’s mental health. But I want to diversify it to a podcast to help anyone going through hard times and use my struggles to coach those needing affirmation.
My podcast is from the heart and it be everything that happens. Sports, my life, my mom, and whatever. My audience is between the ages of 30-40. I'm on Spotify right now but I also do live videos on Facebook live
My podcast is called The Healthy Investor Podcast. I talk to entrepreneurs and investors about their journey and healthy habits and routines that contribute to their success. As a part of my podcast I am planning a few solo episodes (probably 2 per quarter) to discuss some of my journey and things that I’ve learned along the way. I’m hoping this will help me to connect more personally with my listeners and gain additional credibility. This video was very helpful for me. This falls in line with what I was hoping to do and helped me to clarify a bit about how to plan out those solo episodes. Thanks!
Sounds like a great show, Bob! And I think that’s a great approach to solo episodes. Once you do a few, ask your audience for feedback to see what direction you should take future episodes. It’s helpful to know which topics your audience enjoys for solo episodes.
Keep thinking about your ideal listener. It might be a previous version of yourself. But it’s important to think of a specific persona when you’re talking so you’ll be more likely to target them when you’re marketing your show. 😉
Thanks for this. My podcast is called Living the Queenager Life. It's to help women over 60 choose a life of vitality. I have another podcast where I had guests when I was a realtor. I love that podcast so much but getting guests is so hard so I decided to try and do a solo podcast. At least for a lot of it. I might have guests if I can get them but I don't want my production to be at the whim of other people. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Hey Kristal, I just watched the video and it makes a lot of sense to me. For the good majority of the time I am a solo podcaster. My podcast is called the Florida Fun Podcast. All about fun and interesting things to see and do and learn about the State of Florida. Thanks for the advice!
Am a first podcaster and I really love talking about my life and what I have past through, and wish that I could get more tips from you because I really find podcasting more interesting thank you for the first tip and am going to podcast today.
Thanks for your comment and reaching out! 🌟 What specific tips or areas of improvement are you hoping to get? I may have some other resources and videos to send your way. 😉
Hello I am a new subscriber! I am seriously considering and I am in the process of beginning my own podcast. I have a vision but I’m not sure how to turn it into a podcast quite yet. Thank you for making this content! Do you have any camera and microphone equipment in mind that you like? I do not mind investing if there is a good quality one😊 much love and support to all the entrepreneurs and dreamers on here💕
Very simple but effective tip thank you. my solo podcast is about combat sports (MMA and boxing etc). I give break downs and my predictions for upcoming fights. I recap the fights (what happened in the fight) and I also give my thoughts on news in the combat sports sphere. My listeners are combat sports fans.
So I’m wanting to start a podcast, I have the equipment and whatnot, still trying to figure out how it all works and how to move forward. My podcast will be EMS related. And more than likely a solo podcaster. Hopefully I can make entertaining enough people will listen
That's awesome! I have a free 5-min bootcamp that shows you how everything works from planning an episode to distributing and marketing it. Here's the link if you're interested: krystalproffitt.com/podcastbootcamp/
I am just getting started, learning by trail and not posting yet. I want to do a Cigar podcast with rating of cigars, and toss in my drink of choice with it also.
Thanks for the tip. My Podcast is called 'This Fruitful Mind'. I talk about mundfulness, meditation and creativity. I'm seven episodes in and am looking for ways to grow my audience. Interviewing myself sounds a great idea, I've lived an interesting life when I think back... more than one plot twist along the way. 😊
I watched this as a way to start off a podcast on my channel, L.927, and I'm going to be doing podcasts off the UA-cam series Project: 863 and kinda talking about what it's about and such. This was very helpful to start that off. Thank you!
Nice advise. I’m just starting my podcast. The podcast is called Christian Entrepreneurs. The overall format is still in development but I want to try this format along with others.
solo podcaster here! thank you for this! my podcast is called Parked Convos I speak on real life things, my family, personal experiences and my culture. as well as answering questions asked of me on my instagram. kind of like a q&a
Thank you, this is so helpful! I’m starting a podcast called “Real House Wives of the Kingdom” I’m switching between interview and solo. I will be talking with other “Real House Wives of the Kingdom” of God, about how God is working in and through their lives, and sharing my own experience! I want to remind women they are not alone, since this crazy world can make you feel that way. My trailer is already up and I’m planning to air my first episode on April 30, having 4 episodes ready by that point.
My solo podcast is called "S. Anthony Says" and I tell stories about the strangest and weirdest things that have happened to me. 400+ episodes and counting. Solo podcasting is fun!
This was very helpful! Thank you! My podcast is called Playing the Field because my last name is field lol. But I enjoy talking about computer science topics because that is my major but I also enjoy talking about world history, current events, and sports as well. So I’m kinda all over the place with topics I would like to talk about but I don’t think it means I can’t talk about those topics. I just have to focus a single podcast to one topic and the next podcast talk about another topic.
I know this is an older video but this is great advice. I have a solo podcast called Living Beyond the Invisible. It's a podcast about living with invisible disabilities.
I haven't published my first video yet. My name will be "Day Zero with Chad McGovern" (because someone else already has a podcast called "Day Zero"). It is a podcast about my life growing up and I will try to inspire and motivate my listeners. I had a Stem Cell Bone Marrow Transplant when I was nine years old, my brother was my donor, and I have a lot of stories and experiences to share :) Your video was super helpful, thankyou so much!
I’d ask for some audience feedback. “What do you want to hear from me?” I’m sure there’s been some stories/content you’ve put out there that resonated with someone.
Just came across this vid & found the advice helpful thanks 😊 My podcast is called the Principles of Life podcast on Spotify & iTunes. Primarily interview style but also expanding into solo podcasting.
I’m about to start a podcast, it’s called “Let’s talk some SHHH” about any topics that people are scared to talk about, chit chat, thoughts, an inspirational quote here and there, and being able to inspire people and open their minds from different topics
My podcast is called the Q’s and Ap’s podcast a show where it’s not just me talking bout one specific thing really everything that people can relate to but everytime I talk in my mic it feels like I don’t know what to say and I could start rn but it’s like I have a writers block on what to say
Hi, @krystalproffitt, thanks for these tips very helpful, and I also subscribed. I am starting my podcast solo soon, I als have a Yeti mic I was wondering which mic holder do you use to keep it in place?
Thank you for this video. I enjoy solo podcasts and you have inspired me to make more. My podcast is the Sugar Freedom show: get off of sugar and get on with life.
Hi, I started my lil podcast and I call it absolute vintage , I like to explore history around the world and I’m nuts about reading newspapers, sometimes even tried rewriting it in my own words, mostly stuff we can’t expect terrified me so that’s where I got idea to do this podcast…. Idk did I explain good, but I do wanna connect with similar interest ppl ….. for Valentines I did love stories short from my head that happened to me and I noticed more plays than usual…. So I’ll go with my own stories more often
@@KrystalProffitt only idk how to link up more with people, I advertised on FB, created tiktok for it, and just learning as I go …. Thanks for cool video
Hello Krystal Profit! I'm PFC Irvine from the podcast Learning to Deal. A solo podcast about the hosts recovery from battle field wounds through becoming a coin dealer.
Want to start a solo podcast but I have to find my voice. I always talk differently when recording. It’s annoying. I’m working on relaxing and talking like I talk on a regular day with friends
I want to start a podcast (I am a music artist) and I want to do a behind the microphone where I talk about my life behind the mic and even how it changed me
Sorta echoing here, but this is very helpful. I've been doing a solo podcast for a couple months called New Age Comics, essentially a comic review podcast, and I have kinda struggled with conversational direction. What inspired me to do the podcast was having good conversations WITH my friends! So doing a solo show has had many challenges, BUT I'm certainly going to apply this strategy in the future. I might try and convert my scripts to just questions. HOWEVER, I have a question, how do you navigate between questions without making it a really abrupt transition to a new topic or point of conversation? Thank you for the advice
Great question, Chase. My best advice is to have your questions listed in front of you (5-10 questions is a great place to start), and then just let the conversation happen naturally. Ask genuine questions you'd ask your guest if they weren't being interviewed. Try to throw in your "pre-approved" questions when you can, but let the conversation flow as naturally as possible. Those always make the best interviews!
Hello! So glad I’ve found your channel! My podcast is Mrs. KempnItReal is my podcast. It’s a solo podcast that answers my listeners motherhood questions. Thanks for the tips.
I started with little to no edits and then got fancier later. Start with simply cutting any big mistakes and learn simple tutorials to help you along the way.
Hey Paul, great question. Depending on your content, you definitely want to have some energy and excitement in your voice. You want to capture your listeners' attention and keep it for the duration of your episodes.
Thanks for sharing about your podcast! I recommend watching this video for ideas on narrowing down your audience: How to Find Your Podcast Niche and Topic": ua-cam.com/video/Kal5G9btmvo/v-deo.html
I am an artist. I want to start a podcast about my artistic journey. How I have kept my creative interests in impossible situations, being a self trained artist is tough. What have I learner from all this, my thought process, my inspirations and what not. Any tips for me?
Hi Krystal I want to start a solo podcast doing exactly what you just talked about interview myself I just subscribed where can I listen to your podcast I will definitely listen to you
thanks for the great advice, Krystal. I have a podcast called "90 minute escape", I talk about true crime and mix in a little psychology/ mental health talk, it's a new podcast and I will definitely use this advice :)
Just found you. I recently started my podcast it’s called The Crooked Mile podcast. It’s all about telling stories. Having fun so far and you have some great advice/tips Thanks
Thank you for the inspiration. This video has definitely helped calm down some of the thoughts I've been having during recording sessions. Hopefully launching my podcast soon called Completeology about sharing/discussing Hobby's and how they effect and help personal state of mind and everyday life.
I'm so glad you found the video helpful, Kelly! And your podcast sounds very interesting! Best and luck and let me know if there are any specific questions I can answer for you! 😉
Are you a solo podcaster? Tell me about you and your show! I may just give you a shout out on an upcoming video! ;)

Hi Sera, that's amazing! Keep at it...you'll learn so much more about the direction of your show and how your message can have a larger impact the more you do it.
Congratulations Sera! Good for you. God has blessed you to be a blessing to those young people (and maybe some adults too).

This was super helpful. In the process right now of starting my own podcast so I will keep all of this in mind.
Loved it, thank you. I just started my new solo podcast, it's call The Round Phase, it's about TV show or movie discussion.
Congrats! And thanks for sharing! 🌟
Im really late to this party - but I am considering starting a podcast that focuses on psychogical hacks to help people be happier, more productive, and lead overall better lives. I'm actually a psychologist, and I want to present this in a very accessible way - kind of like psychology for the masses. Still working on a name. And still in the contemplation/planning stage.
That's indeed a great idea! Always be motivated 👍But I am pretty late too. I recently created my own podcast about motivational stuff and reciting inspiring poems. It would be great if you could listen and follow me!
Here's the link- anchor.fm/garnish-words
And Please subscribe to my channel too!
Positive vibes : )
Thanks for sharing, Chris! And I have to tell you, you're definitely NOT late to the party! The party is just getting started - in my opinion. 😉
Where you can stand out for your show is really focusing on either a key demographic that you want to speak to and what unique qualities/stories/personality traits you can bring to the table. But I'm happy you're here hanging out with us in this community!
Damn, I just had the idea to do a Solo Podcast since my life experience is very varied and interesting I think. I didn't think that it was a thing (solo podcast) until searching and found your channel Krystal. I also know many interesting people that I could interview as well.
Hey Andrew! Yes, solo podcasts are great! But I am a fan of having a mixture of solo episodes AND interviews. Everyone has to find their own balance of how often to have each on their show, but I've found it helps avoid podfade, AKA podcast burnout.
Wow! Another great tip!! I just started the Nurse Acumen Podcast where I help repeat test-taker nurses envision passing their next attempt at their licensure boards using a simple strategic approach I created and share. I just started my podcast, literally haven’t announced the hard launch yet, and found this video so helpful with planning my content!! Thank you so much for sharing this! ✨
This is great ! I love this outlook
Glad you found it helpful! 🌟
Thanks for this informative video. I noticed for myself that I would interview myself whenever I drove to work or whenever I was alone in the house. It is like therapy. I started uploading videos like 2 to 3 weeks ago but I never did the interview myself approach. Thanks for this tip. I know I will definitely use it =)
I'm glad you found the video helpful, ShinXiao! 🌟
My podcast name is Kings Talk. The primary focus is men’s mental health. But I want to diversify it to a podcast to help anyone going through hard times and use my struggles to coach those needing affirmation.
My podcast is from the heart and it be everything that happens. Sports, my life, my mom, and whatever. My audience is between the ages of 30-40. I'm on Spotify right now but I also do live videos on Facebook live
Thanks for sharing about your show.
My podcast is called The Healthy Investor Podcast. I talk to entrepreneurs and investors about their journey and healthy habits and routines that contribute to their success. As a part of my podcast I am planning a few solo episodes (probably 2 per quarter) to discuss some of my journey and things that I’ve learned along the way. I’m hoping this will help me to connect more personally with my listeners and gain additional credibility. This video was very helpful for me. This falls in line with what I was hoping to do and helped me to clarify a bit about how to plan out those solo episodes. Thanks!
Sounds like a great show, Bob! And I think that’s a great approach to solo episodes.
Once you do a few, ask your audience for feedback to see what direction you should take future episodes.
It’s helpful to know which topics your audience enjoys for solo episodes.
I'm not a podcaster yet but I'm thinking about it. I'm looking around for some ideas on how to start a solo podcast.
I’m just getting started, my show is about things I enjoy doing, reviewing things I’ve done in the past. Not sure what my audience is
Keep thinking about your ideal listener. It might be a previous version of yourself. But it’s important to think of a specific persona when you’re talking so you’ll be more likely to target them when you’re marketing your show. 😉
Thanks for this. My podcast is called Living the Queenager Life. It's to help women over 60 choose a life of vitality. I have another podcast where I had guests when I was a realtor. I love that podcast so much but getting guests is so hard so I decided to try and do a solo podcast. At least for a lot of it. I might have guests if I can get them but I don't want my production to be at the whim of other people. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Thanks for sharing about your show! I'm glad you found our spot online too!
Hey Kristal, I just watched the video and it makes a lot of sense to me. For the good majority of the time I am a solo podcaster. My podcast is called the Florida Fun Podcast. All about fun and interesting things to see and do and learn about the State of Florida. Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for sharing, Joshua!
Am a first podcaster and I really love talking about my life and what I have past through, and wish that I could get more tips from you because I really find podcasting more interesting thank you for the first tip and am going to podcast today.
Thanks for your comment and reaching out! 🌟 What specific tips or areas of improvement are you hoping to get? I may have some other resources and videos to send your way. 😉
@@KrystalProffitt areas of improvement thank you.
@@KrystalProffitt if I could get more videos to watch and improve
This is very useful - imagine myself a few years ago and what I would have been asking on my subject. Thanks☺️
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much. Because my podcast is solo ... Great information!
Glad it was helpful!
I am a retired Corrections Officer. People ask me all the time what it like in a Prison? Other Podcasters tell me that it hard to keep that going.
Hello I am a new subscriber! I am seriously considering and I am in the process of beginning my own podcast. I have a vision but I’m not sure how to turn it into a podcast quite yet. Thank you for making this content! Do you have any camera and microphone equipment in mind that you like? I do not mind investing if there is a good quality one😊 much love and support to all the entrepreneurs and dreamers on here💕
I definitely was nodding myself so much during this video!!!!
Yay! I'm so glad the video resonated with you, Abigail!
I love listening to you , I just found you today . ♥️ I am working on starting a podcast.
Wonderful! So glad you've found this channel helpful!
Very simple but effective tip thank you. my solo podcast is about combat sports (MMA and boxing etc). I give break downs and my predictions for upcoming fights. I recap the fights (what happened in the fight) and I also give my thoughts on news in the combat sports sphere. My listeners are combat sports fans.
Very cool! Glad you're here, Cal!
I am starting my solo podcast next week. It's about Bible study.
Congrats! That’s exciting! 🥳
So I’m wanting to start a podcast, I have the equipment and whatnot, still trying to figure out how it all works and how to move forward. My podcast will be EMS related. And more than likely a solo podcaster. Hopefully I can make entertaining enough people will listen
That's awesome! I have a free 5-min bootcamp that shows you how everything works from planning an episode to distributing and marketing it. Here's the link if you're interested: krystalproffitt.com/podcastbootcamp/
I love the idea of the interview. So what are some of the questions you asked yourself?
The name is Phillippa Leadon but I'm on my daughter's phone at this time. Sorry
I am just getting started, learning by trail and not posting yet. I want to do a Cigar podcast with rating of cigars, and toss in my drink of choice with it also.
Awesome! I love this concept. When are you planning on launching?
Great tips!! Going on the solo journey
You got this! 🙌
Thanks for the tip. My Podcast is called 'This Fruitful Mind'. I talk about mundfulness, meditation and creativity. I'm seven episodes in and am looking for ways to grow my audience. Interviewing myself sounds a great idea, I've lived an interesting life when I think back... more than one plot twist along the way. 😊
Love that!
I watched this as a way to start off a podcast on my channel, L.927, and I'm going to be doing podcasts off the UA-cam series Project: 863 and kinda talking about what it's about and such. This was very helpful to start that off. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful! 🌟
Nice advise. I’m just starting my podcast. The podcast is called Christian Entrepreneurs. The overall format is still in development but I want to try this format along with others.
Exciting that you’re starting you’re show! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
solo podcaster here! thank you for this! my podcast is called Parked Convos I speak on real life things, my family, personal experiences and my culture. as well as answering questions asked of me on my instagram. kind of like a q&a
Thank you, this is so helpful! I’m starting a podcast called “Real House Wives of the Kingdom” I’m switching between interview and solo. I will be talking with other “Real House Wives of the Kingdom” of God, about how God is working in and through their lives, and sharing my own experience! I want to remind women they are not alone, since this crazy world can make you feel that way. My trailer is already up and I’m planning to air my first episode on April 30, having 4 episodes ready by that point.
How awesome! Thanks for sharing about your show and good luck with your podcast launch! 🙌🚀
My solo podcast is called "S. Anthony Says" and I tell stories about the strangest and weirdest things that have happened to me. 400+ episodes and counting. Solo podcasting is fun!
400+ episode...that's awesome! 🙌
@@KrystalProffitt Thank you!
This was very helpful! Thank you! My podcast is called Playing the Field because my last name is field lol. But I enjoy talking about computer science topics because that is my major but I also enjoy talking about world history, current events, and sports as well. So I’m kinda all over the place with topics I would like to talk about but I don’t think it means I can’t talk about those topics. I just have to focus a single podcast to one topic and the next podcast talk about another topic.
Thanks for the tips, I started my solo podcast 2 weeks ago,and I talk about finance and money management. Podcast name is PETER ADS 👌🏿.
That is awesome! Good luck with your show, Peter!
I know this is an older video but this is great advice. I have a solo podcast called Living Beyond the Invisible. It's a podcast about living with invisible disabilities.
Thanks for sharing!! 😍
I haven't published my first video yet. My name will be "Day Zero with Chad McGovern" (because someone else already has a podcast called "Day Zero"). It is a podcast about my life growing up and I will try to inspire and motivate my listeners. I had a Stem Cell Bone Marrow Transplant when I was nine years old, my brother was my donor, and I have a lot of stories and experiences to share :) Your video was super helpful, thankyou so much!
That's awesome, Chad! Your story sounds inspiring! 🌟
My podcast is about voluntarily venting meaning that you can talk about what ever but I don't have a audience
I’d ask for some audience feedback. “What do you want to hear from me?” I’m sure there’s been some stories/content you’ve put out there that resonated with someone.
i plan to start my solo podcast but i dont know how to start..until watch ur video..thanks a lot.. 👍👍
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Just came across this vid & found the advice helpful thanks 😊
My podcast is called the Principles of Life podcast on Spotify & iTunes. Primarily interview style but also expanding into solo podcasting.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Daniel!
I’m about to start a podcast, it’s called “Let’s talk some SHHH” about any topics that people are scared to talk about, chit chat, thoughts, an inspirational quote here and there, and being able to inspire people and open their minds from different topics
That's awesome, David! Good luck with your launch! 🚀
My podcast is called the Q’s and Ap’s podcast a show where it’s not just me talking bout one specific thing really everything that people can relate to but everytime I talk in my mic it feels like I don’t know what to say and I could start rn but it’s like I have a writers block on what to say
This is totally normal! Check out this video: “How to NOT Lose Your Train of Thought” ua-cam.com/video/qRoFGyhlcUo/v-deo.htmlsi=dI7NeOhIM_LTVDih
Hi, @krystalproffitt, thanks for these tips very helpful, and I also subscribed. I am starting my podcast solo soon, I als have a Yeti mic I was wondering which mic holder do you use to keep it in place?
Thanks, Lena! I have a Rode PSA1 for my boom arm - and it’s my favorite! 😍
Thank you for this video. I enjoy solo podcasts and you have inspired me to make more. My podcast is the Sugar Freedom show: get off of sugar and get on with life.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your solo episodes! 🙌
Hi, I started my lil podcast and I call it absolute vintage , I like to explore history around the world and I’m nuts about reading newspapers, sometimes even tried rewriting it in my own words, mostly stuff we can’t expect terrified me so that’s where I got idea to do this podcast…. Idk did I explain good, but I do wanna connect with similar interest ppl ….. for Valentines I did love stories short from my head that happened to me and I noticed more plays than usual…. So I’ll go with my own stories more often
Thanks for sharing about your podcast!
@@KrystalProffitt only idk how to link up more with people, I advertised on FB, created tiktok for it, and just learning as I go …. Thanks for cool video
Hello Krystal Profit!
I'm PFC Irvine from the podcast Learning to Deal. A solo podcast about the hosts recovery from battle field wounds through becoming a coin dealer.
Hey there! Glad you're here!
I like talking about everything so my tbd podcast will be my name but on talks I won’t get bored on. Joe Rogan Experience is my favourite podcast.
Thanks for sharing, Aaron!
Thank you so much this helped me tremendously.
You are so welcome!
Want to start a solo podcast but I have to find my voice. I always talk differently when recording. It’s annoying. I’m working on relaxing and talking like I talk on a regular day with friends
You can do it! It does get easier over time. But keep at it, Carlos!
The Deelo Show Motivation Monday’s is a solo podcast about my experiences in business.
Thanks for sharing!
Watching now.. cause i film myself as i do for my video vlogs..
Awesome ✨ What's your show about?
@@KrystalProffitt about life abroad.. experience as an OFW or expatriate working in another country..
Great Video!
What microphone do you have any where did you get it?
This microphone is the Blue Yeti. Currently, I use the Rode Procaster.
This is very insightful! My name is Isaiah, and my podcast is called The Zaya Show. This podcast tackles issues through not being the classical norm.
That's fantastic, Isaiah! I'm glad you're part of our community! 🙌
I want to start a podcast (I am a music artist) and I want to do a behind the microphone where I talk about my life behind the mic and even how it changed me
That's awesome, Jaden! Thanks for sharing! 🌟
Thanks for sharing this 🎉🎉
You are so welcome
Sorta echoing here, but this is very helpful. I've been doing a solo podcast for a couple months called New Age Comics, essentially a comic review podcast, and I have kinda struggled with conversational direction. What inspired me to do the podcast was having good conversations WITH my friends! So doing a solo show has had many challenges, BUT I'm certainly going to apply this strategy in the future. I might try and convert my scripts to just questions. HOWEVER, I have a question, how do you navigate between questions without making it a really abrupt transition to a new topic or point of conversation? Thank you for the advice
Great question, Chase. My best advice is to have your questions listed in front of you (5-10 questions is a great place to start), and then just let the conversation happen naturally. Ask genuine questions you'd ask your guest if they weren't being interviewed. Try to throw in your "pre-approved" questions when you can, but let the conversation flow as naturally as possible. Those always make the best interviews!
@@KrystalProffitt thank you crystal!
Hello! So glad I’ve found your channel! My podcast is Mrs. KempnItReal is my podcast. It’s a solo podcast that answers my listeners motherhood questions. Thanks for the tips.
Awesome, glad you're here! 🙌
I think my whole thing is is knowing how to edit my videos, I don't know how and where to go to do it
I started with little to no edits and then got fancier later. Start with simply cutting any big mistakes and learn simple tutorials to help you along the way.
Question? How is the monotone of voice important for your podcast ???
Hey Paul, great question. Depending on your content, you definitely want to have some energy and excitement in your voice. You want to capture your listeners' attention and keep it for the duration of your episodes.
My podcast is vitamin d with the tea
It's basically pop culture/celeb tea/gossip/news.
Still need help figuring out my audience .
Thanks for sharing about your podcast! I recommend watching this video for ideas on narrowing down your audience: How to Find Your Podcast Niche and Topic": ua-cam.com/video/Kal5G9btmvo/v-deo.html
I am an artist. I want to start a podcast about my artistic journey. How I have kept my creative interests in impossible situations, being a self trained artist is tough. What have I learner from all this, my thought process, my inspirations and what not. Any tips for me?

You absolutely do it. Where are stuck right now? I can recommend the next steps. ✨
What should I use to fill with, if it's just a simple webcam I got it
Start with what you have. I started with a webcam, then used my phone, then upgraded to a "fancy camera" later. 😉
This was perfect idea ty!!!!!
You're welcome!

Awesome! Let's make it happen - what questions about getting started do you have?
