What is a solo podcast?

A solo podcast is a show in which there is only one host. The majority of episodes will see that individual deliver all of the content. Of course, they could include guests or interviewees for special episodes. Often enough, the host will also be responsible for planning, scripting, recording, editing, and publishing the podcast. You might call it a “one-man band”!

The first step to picking the best podcast keywords is to know who you want your audience to be. That way you can put yourself in their shoes and understand what keywords they may use to search for topics they care about.

Demographics

Based on people’s lived experience of gender, race, age, region, etc., they tend to use or be comfortable with certain vocabulary. If your target audience falls primarily in one or two categories, consider picking keywords that you think would be authentic to them.

Level of Complexity

Is your target audience people who are new to the topic or people who have an expert level of understanding? This should determine how complicated or advanced your keywords will need to be.

Intent

Do your target listeners have the intent to be entertained? To learn? To take action and create change? They could all be interested in the same topic, but with different outcomes in mind. That will determine what kind of secondary keywords you want to pick.

Overall, the clearer you can define your target audience, the more powerful your podcast keywords will be. Read More

It’s coming to that time of the year again, when all the pundits and experts start pumping out their predictions on what to watch for in the year ahead, and how things will change over the coming 12 months.

Which, this year, is going to include a lot of inaccurate predictions about AI.

Generative AI is a transformative tech trend, no doubt, which will have impact in a range of ways. But the conflation between the generative AI tools we have now, and computer systems that can actually think for themselves is significantly overblown.

But this is an aside, what we’re looking at here is social media predictions, and how the social media landscape will shift over the next year. And while AI will get the spotlight here as well, I’m tipping that the impacts will be more measured than many expect. Read More
