How To Find The Right Podcast Category

Pod Schooler

asked a great question the other day about how to actually find the categories that you should consider for your podcast so I wanted to share this link as a separate post.

So, when choosing a category for your show there are about 100 categories and sub-categories... and choosing the right one (or right ones) can be the difference between a podcast launch that flies ✈️ and one that dies ☠️!

Bit dramatic, but it is true as well!

Me and

@Alex Chisnall

covered the importance of choosing the right category in the latest episode of the podcast (which is now No.1 in the UAE, No.1 in Malaysia, No.2 in the UK...because of being in the right categories!) which you can watch on our OFFICIAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL
