Five Reasons Not to Start a Podcast in 2024

from Clipped: Your Content Creation Toolkit · host Eric Montgomery

Send us Fan Mail1. Lack of Integrated Business Model Simply relying on ads isn't enough. Your podcast should be part of a larger business ecosystem. Promote your services or agency through your podcast. Without this, seeing significant returns will be tough. 2. Insufficient SEO Knowledge Ranking on Google is harder due to AI and frequent updates. Google favors relevant, useful content. Your podcast and website need to meet EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) criteria. Without these, your visibility will be limited. 3. Difficulty in Building an Entertainment Podcast Entertainment podcasts are hard to grow without an existing following. Competing with established talents is tough. Offering educational or informative content can help build a loyal audience. The entertainment market is saturated with high-quality options. 4. Necessity of Solo Episodes Solo episodes help establish your authority and influence. Showcase your expertise and address your audience's concerns. Relying only on interviews can dilute your brand. If you're uncomfortable with solo content, reconsider podcasting. 5. Overreliance on Ad Revenue Ad revenue requires a massive number of downloads. Only the top 10% of podcasts achieve significant ad revenue. New podcasters need additional revenue streams like products or services. Creating a sustainable business model is crucial. These are the key reasons to reconsider starting a podcast in 2024. Address these challenges with a solid strategy and podcasting can still be rewarding. Keep creating, keep engaging. Until next time!
