Starting a podcast might have been on your to-do list for months or even years. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it and what you should be considering, this blog post is for you. Let’s explore why 2025 is the perfect time to launch your podcast and how you can make it happen.

Why This Is the Year to Start Your Podcast

We often wait for the perfect time to start something new, but the truth is, the right time is now. If you’ve been thinking about launching a podcast, it’s time to take action. Podcasts offer an impactful way to connect with your audience, establish authority, and create evergreen content that continues to work for you long after it’s published.

I’ve worked with clients who hesitated for years before finally starting their podcasts, and the results have been incredible. One client recently launched her show and immediately began receiving positive feedback and meaningful engagement from her audience. Her hesitation and doubts gave way to confidence and excitement once she took the leap.

Stop Letting Self-Doubt Hold You Back

It’s easy to delay launching a podcast because you’re unsure if it’ll work or if you’ll be able to keep up with it. But here’s the truth: your hesitation could be holding someone else back from benefiting from your unique message. If creating impact and helping others is at the heart of what you do, then podcasting is a powerful tool to amplify that mission.

Your podcast doesn’t have to be perfect from day one. The most important thing is to get started and refine along the way. Think of podcasting as a long-term strategy that builds your brand and connects you with your audience on a deeper level.

Why You Need a Podcast Launch Strategy

One of the biggest mistakes new podcasters make is skipping a proper launch strategy. While it’s tempting to just record an episode and publish it, a thoughtful launch plan ensures your podcast gets the visibility it deserves. Here’s why:

- First Impressions Matter: Your first few episodes set the tone for your podcast and help listeners decide whether to stick around.
- The New Podcast Boost: Platforms like Apple Podcasts give extra visibility to new shows, but you need a plan to capitalize on this opportunity.
- Momentum Is Key: A strong launch generates excitement, reviews, and downloads, which motivate you to keep going.

 The Long Game of Podcasting

Podcasting isn’t a quick-fix marketing strategy. It’s a long-term investment in your brand and business. Unlike social media posts that disappear quickly, podcast episodes remain accessible and continue to attract listeners over time. This evergreen content can:

- Reduce the pressure to constantly create new material.
- Build trust and authority with your audience.
- Drive sales and client inquiries even when you’re not actively promoting.

What You Need to Get Started

Here are the essentials for launching your podcast:

1. A Clear Purpose: Know your “why” and the value you’ll provide to your audience.
2. Basic Equipment: Start with a good-quality microphone (not a Blue Yeti!) and editing software.
3. Content Plan: Outline your first few episodes and focus on topics that align with your business goals.
4. Launch Strategy: Plan your promotion, gather reviews, and build excitement around your show.
5. Support System: Whether it’s hiring a coach, joining a program, or learning from free resources, get the help you need to stay on track.

Make This the Year You Launch

If starting a podcast has been on your heart, make this the year you finally take action. Whether you join a program like 30 Days to Press Play, hire a coach, or DIY with free resources, commit to learning and launching. Stop letting self-doubt and fear block you from creating the impact you’re meant to make.

Your audience is waiting, and your podcast could be the key to reaching them in a meaningful way. Let’s make 2025 the year of podcasting success. Ready to get started? Reach out to me on Instagram @AngieMJordan or join my free Facebook community for more tips and support.
