Listen Later

Finding your message can make or break your show as well as become the deciding factor of whether or not it will profit. When you find the message you're passionate about, the doors will start opening and I promise you that you will begin to see success before you even launch your show. We want to dive into that conversation today; what does it look like to find that niche and what are the steps you can take to break down what it is that you should be focusing on to drive consistency, profitability, and interest! 


Let’s start by breaking down the four areas that I believe can help you narrow down your topic and get you started on the path to making a profitable podcast.


Things you will learn in this episode:
