158: Common Podcasting Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Candace Dudley Season 1 Episode 158

My clients and I have made plenty of podcasting mistakes over the years—here are the top five so you can skip them and grow faster!

  • Trying to reach everyone → Get clear on your audience and who your dream listener is.
  • Overcomplicating the tech → Start simple! A mic, a recording platform (Audacity, Zoom, Riverside), and a host (Buzzsprout) are all you need.
  • Too many guest episodes → If you want to be seen as an authority, prioritize solo episodes (aim for 2/3 solo, 1/3 guest).
  • Publishing and ghosting → Promote every episode—share on social media, email your list, and drop links in relevant conversations.
  • Skipping a call to action → Tell listeners what to do next! Subscribe, leave a review, join your email list, or grab a free resource.

Bonus: Don’t record topics just because you think you should—talk about what excites you!
