STARTS NOW!!!

Let’s cut through the fluff. Everyone and their dog seems to be launching a podcast these days. It’s easy to start. But you know what’s even easier? Quitting. The cold, hard fact is that most podcasters fade out faster than your New Year’s resolutions. Why? Because they walk into this game unprepared, overexcited, and downright clueless. If you’re thinking about starting a podcast—or you’re already knee-deep in it and feeling like you’re drowning—listen up. Here’s why most people quit and, more importantly, how to ensure you don’t. 1. Delusional Expectations of Instant Stardom The Problem: People launch a podcast thinking they’ll be Joe Rogan by Episode 3. They dream of six-figure sponsorships, adoring fans, and a feature in Forbes. When reality sets in—that building an audience takes time—they crash and burn. The Fix: Stop fantasizing and get real. Podcasting is a long game, and it rewards those willing to do the work consistently. Forget about downloads and dollars in the beginning. Focus on delivering value to the handful of listeners you DO have. If you can’t sell your content to five people, what makes you think you can sell it to 5,000? The Podcast Dude’s Rule: Treat your podcast like a business, not a hobby. Businesses grow through consistent effort, not wishful thinking. 2. They Drown in the Workload The Problem: Here’s a dirty little secret about podcasting: It’s a grind. Planning, recording, editing, publishing, marketing—it’s a lot. Most people hit the “this is too much work” wall and walk away. The Fix: Systematize or die. Batch your episodes. Automate the promotion. Or—here’s a radical idea—delegate. Editing and marketing aren’t where your genius lies, so outsource them. Focus on what only YOU can do: delivering content your audience can’t get anywhere else. The Podcast Dude’s Rule: If you’re not willing to invest time or money to make your podcast a success, don’t waste your time starting one. 3. They Have No Purpose and No Audience The Problem: Most people don’t know why they’re podcasting or who they’re podcasting for. They think, “If I just talk about stuff I like, people will listen.” Guess what? They won’t. Without a clear purpose or target audience, your podcast is dead on arrival.
