Laura McRae Podcast Consultant

Professional Podcasting Made Simple

A self-paced program that will help you create a professional podcast, allowing you to build your authority, foster trust, and expand both your community and client base. So you can attract more opportunities, stand out and get new clients!

Hosting a podcast is on your bucket list but you constantly worry about what others will think. Questions like, “What if no one listens?” or “What if people don’t like it?” plague your thoughts.

You doubt your own abilities, thinking, “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t know enough to be an authority on this topic.”

You spend excessive time planning, researching, or buying equipment without ever recording an episode. The desire to produce a perfect first episode is paralysing you. Everything must be flawless, leading to endless revisions and a reluctance to just do it!

What you get

You’ve wanted to launch your own podcast for as long as you can remember, it’s a concept that has been on your mind for months, maybe years. You’ve Googled and YouTubed all the lessons and you’re no closer to launching your podcast. Every time you listen to a podcast you get new ideas for your own and you reside to the fact that maybe, this wasn’t meant for you… until now. 

You know what you have to share is important, valuable and people want to listen to what you have to say. It’s the overwhelm of information that has blinded your vision, crowded your thoughts and it’s stopping you from taking that first step. That’s where the Podcast Launch Program comes in… I’m going to show you how to launch your own podcast step by step, today.

How to set up your podcast recording space

Imagine

People listen to your podcast, binge all your content, and sign up to your highest ticket offer without saying a word.

Expanding your network of industry leaders by inviting them as guests and being featured on their shows, turning professional connections into valuable opportunities for collaboration and growth. Hosting a podcast enables you to connect with industry leaders you might not have otherwise encountered, allowing you to learn from them and forge valuable associations, which in turn enhances your own credibility and leadership profile.

Having endless amounts of content that you can repurpose into social media and blog posts, newsletters and emails. Making marketing your business a breeze!

To get a quality podcast you need to start right at the beginning

You’ll work out who your ideal listener is, what the mission of your podcast is and why you’re starting one. It’s so important to get the foundations of your podcast in place before you start recording. Otherwise, you could just be wasting your time.

You’ll get video tutorials and documents to fill in, with questions to help you work out who your ideal listener is, what your mission statement is and what your goals are.

This program is tailored for solo podcasters recording episodes from their home or office. It covers how to conduct remote interviews with guests via the internet. However, it does not address setting up or managing a co-hosted podcast where multiple hosts record together in the same room.
