There are many things you should do if you want to have a successful podcast, but one of the most important is to find your niche. This doesn’t mean that you have to pigeonhole your show and only concentrate on specific topics. However, it does mean that you need to find the elements of your show that tie together anything and everything you could talk about with a specific angle in mind.

Niche podcasts tend to do better than general information podcasts because they offer something that listeners can’t get anywhere else. You may be gifted at discussing basic life topics, but there are a million podcasts out there doing that. By having a niche, you have a chance to set your show apart and gain real brand loyalty.

Your Brand Benefits From Niche Topics

Speaking of branding, your podcast branding stands to gain a lot from focusing on niche topics. Podcast branding is all about who your show is as an entity unto itself. What are the things about your podcast brand that make it stick out? The niche topics you cover are a part of that brand, and focusing your efforts on these topics exclusively helps to solidify the identity of your show’s brand.

Niche Topics Make Your Podcast More Polished

Think about this: if you were to strike up a conversation with a stranger, would you prefer to talk about things you know about and are passionate about, or would you prefer to discuss topics that you’re disinterested in or have no knowledge of? For most people, it’s much easier to talk about things they already know about and have a real passion for.

In podcasting, the same applies. You will come across as much more professional, relaxed, and prepared if you discuss niche topics that you’re informed about versus talking about general topics about which you only know a little bit. While you may be able to fake it and get away with some shows here or there, your audience will see through the charade quickly and will be more likely to abandon a show that isn’t presented as professional.
