Your Podcast Consultant: Podcast Tips To Avoid Podcasting Mistakes

Do I NEED a Podcast Coach?


Listen Later

The burning question on every wannabe podcaster's mind: do I really need a podcast coach? Spoiler alert: no, you don’t *have* to have one, and you could just jump in, flail around, and figure things out for yourself.

But let’s be real for a sec. Imagine setting off on a cross-country road trip without a GPS. Sure, you could just guess which way is west, but wouldn’t it be easier to have a reliable map guiding you?

That’s what a coach can do for your podcasting journey. They help you dodge the potholes of bad equipment choices, terrible hosting services, and the dreaded burnout that comes from setting completely unrealistic goals.

If you want to avoid looking like a podcasting rookie who doesn’t know the difference between a media host and a media hoax, a coach can be your best friend. Even legends like Oprah and Michael Phelps have coaches. So, if you want to level up your podcast game and not just play in the kiddie pool, maybe consider getting a coach. But hey, if you want to go it alone, just know you’ll be doing a lot of guessing along the way.

Takeaways:

  • You only need a coach if you want to avoid mistakes.
  • Hiring a coach can save you from buying the wrong gear and using the wrong platforms.
  • Just like GPS helps you avoid traffic, a podcast coach can guide you through common pitfalls.
  • Even big names like Oprah and Bill Gates have coaches, so maybe there's something to it after all!
  • A good coach helps refine your goals and keeps you accountable, which is pretty darn useful.
  • Without a coach, you might just be wandering around like a lost puppy in the podcasting world.
