How to Start a Crypto Podcast [User Guide]

Crypto podcasts combine two of the hottest trends of the last few years: cryptocurrency and podcasting. But how do you start your own crypto podcast? How can you attract an audience, build a following, and create crypto-related content that people want to listen to?

Today, we’re answering those questions and explaining everything you need to know about how to start a crypto podcast.

Pros and Cons of Starting a Crypto Podcast

Just like any decision in life, starting a crypto podcast is filled with pros and cons. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages to launching your own cryptocurrency-related podcast.

Pros

Become an Influencer: When you launch a good podcast, you have the power to influence the crypto community. If you consistently produce intelligent content, then your words will matter to listeners. You’ll have sway, clout, influence, or whatever else you want to call it.

Contribute to Crypto: Most podcasts are educational. They teach you about the latest news. They inform the community of the latest developments. By starting a podcast, you’re contributing to the world of crypto.

Earn Advertising Revenue: Ultimately, today’s highest-trafficked podcasts earn huge advertising revenue. A crypto startup might ask to advertise on your podcast in exchange for pre-IPO tokens, for example. Crypto media websites could pay to advertise. Crypto is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and all of that advertising money has to go somewhere.

Cons

It’s Already Crowded: You’re not the first person to think of starting a crypto podcast. In fact, you’re not even the 1,000th person to think of starting a crypto podcast. There are hundreds of crypto podcasts on the internet today. A few have stood out from the crowd, but most continue to languish in obscurity.

Crypto is Complicated: Many people aren’t qualified to talk about cryptocurrency or blockchain technology in detail. If you’re inexperienced or ignorant, your podcast will be ignored.

Step 1) Find Your Crypto Podcast Niche

There are already general crypto podcasts out there. There are plenty of people who can speak competently on general crypto podcasts. These podcasts already have sizable followings. It can be tough to compete with these crypto giants.

However, there’s still plenty of room for crypto podcasts in specific niches.

Identify a niche in the crypto space that is underserved by traditional media. Some of the potential niches include:

Coin-Specific Podcasts: Talk about all news related to a specific coin. Or, discuss a basket of similar cryptocurrencies or a specific cryptocurrency category. Talk about ERC20 tokens, for example, or all tokens available for decentralized app platforms.

Region or Country-Specific Crypto Podcasts: What’s the latest news about cryptocurrency in Ethiopia? You might scoff – but Ethiopia is a nation of over 100 million people. Some of the biggest areas of potential growth for crypto are in emerging markets, including regions underserved by traditional banks. Start a podcast focused on regional crypto topics, and you could quickly build a following that will only grow as crypto adoption increases.

Interview Experts: You might not know a lot about crypto, but you can still interview people who do know a lot about crypto. Reach out to experts for brief, 5-minute interviews. Ask them their thoughts on the latest news and developments from the world of crypto.

Exclusive Access Podcasts: Do you live in Silicon Valley or Zug (Crypto Valley), Switzerland? If so, you might have exclusive access to individuals and companies that few other people can access. You’re surrounded by some of the brightest minds in crypto. Take advantage of it by starting a podcast highlighting your exclusive access.

Technology-Specific Podcast: Do you have a computer science degree? Are you skilled in Solidity? Do you know more about blockchain than 90% of the world? If so, then you can start a podcast focused on technology-specific topics. Discuss the latest updates to Solidity and smart contract programming, for example. Or, examine how different blockchain and distributed ledger technologies work.

Flex your Unique Education or Background: Do you have an MBA? Use your MBA skills to analyze the business fundamentals of crypto companies. Do you have a Ph. D in economics? Talk about how crypto will disrupt world economies. Have you successfully exited multiple startups? Launch a podcast explaining the next steps for crypto company founders. Identify your unique skills, then apply them to crypto.

Above all, your goal with a podcast is to make yourself useful to some type of audience. Sometimes, that involves focusing on a specific topic. In other cases, it involves tackling general news topics with your expert knowledge.

Step 2) Outline a Podcast Episode

You’ve found your niche. You’ve decided you want to launch a podcast. The next step is to create an episode outline.

How will your podcast flow? What will you talk about at each time? Will it just be you talking into a microphone by yourself? Will you interview other people? How will you transition between segments?

Of course, some people don’t need an outline: they can just sit in front of a microphone, press record, and start sharing useful information.

For most people, however, having a clear and coherent structure will help your podcast stay on track.

Once you’ve established a basic format, you can start getting into the nitty gritty of podcasting. Next, we’ll talk about what you need and how to record your first crypto podcast.

Step 3) Get the Tools You Need to Record a Crypto Podcast

It’s time to go shopping. Some of the things you’ll need before recording your first crypto podcast include:

• A good-quality USB microphone
• A podcasting app or podcasting software (Squadcast, for example)
• Editing software (Hindenberg is particularly popular, although Alitu, Audacity, Spreaker, and Garageband are other good options)

Thankfully for you, you’re entering podcasting at the right time. There’s been an explosion of podcasting software and apps in recent years. You can find plenty of free and premium podcasting software options for mobile and desktop setups.

Step 4) Marketing your Podcast to the Cryptosphere

So you’ve made a great podcast. Now you need people to listen to it.

The cryptosphere is vast. You can market your podcast anywhere from YouTube to Telegram to Twitter and more.

Some of the potential marketing strategies for sharing your podcast with the world include:

Start a Website: First, you should ensure people can find your podcast on the internet. Start a website dedicated to your podcast. Use SEO to ensure your website ranks for keywords like “[your podcast]”. When someone sees your podcast on social media, they can Google it and find your website.

Twitter Marketing: Market your podcast to the world through Twitter. Use popular hashtags to put your podcast in front of thousands of viewers.

Ask for Celebrity Shares: Did you interview a notable member of the crypto community in your podcast? There’s a good chance that person will retweet or share your podcast episode.

Market to Specific Coin Communities: Some coin communities are under-served by traditional podcasts. It’s easy to find podcasts that talk about bitcoin, for example, but it can be harder to find podcasts talking about Tezos (XTZ), Chainlink (LINK), and Cosmos (ATOM), despite the fact these cryptocurrencies are some of the largest in the world. These communities are thirsty for media attention – so give it to them.

Telegram: Share your podcast through Telegram. There are plenty of Telegram communities dedicated to specific projects or cryptocurrencies. There are also broader Telegram communities for crypto in general.

Write Guest Posts: If you can speak competently about a unique topic, then consider writing guest posts. Write a guest post focused on a topic you’re knowledgeable about, then push readers towards your podcast.

Step 5) Identify Possible Sponsors and Advertising Opportunities

Once you’ve marketed your podcast and attracted a following, you might want to market your audience to earn advertising revenue.

Earning advertising revenue isn’t about being greedy; it’s also about getting the funds you need to expand your podcast.

Advertising revenue might pay for a trip to a crypto conference, for example. It might cover the cost of flying to China to interview a leading crypto CEO.

As your podcast’s audience grows, it’s in your best interest to find sponsors and advertising partners. Some podcasts use ad networks like Midroll or Advertisecast to easily find sponsors.

Alternatively, some podcasts earn money through Patreon. Listeners pay-what-they-can to gain access to your podcast.
