Podcast business plan?!
I'm just a girl
Hello to all 65 of your beautiful faces,
Today, I’m walking through the general ‘business plan’/roadmap of the podcast. with the amount of time putting together a podcast takes (fun fact, I actually used to be a podcast for Techish), this eventually has to make some money for it to be viable. I already run a business!
Here’s where we are in the rough plan for getting things kicked off. Up until launch, I’ll give you a behind-the-scenes peek at different parts of the podcast and give you a chance to chime in.
The Plan
First of all, this is not a members club. I know too many people in London already doing a fabulous job at this!
This is journalism
Will collate all guest recommendations - from tech stacks to coworking spots - into an easy to digest resource guide built with Notion.
For now, things will be pretty streamlined - I’m currently doing this solo and can’t afford to pay anyone to help with ops and production just yet. Thank you for your patience while I try and be everywhere!
Posting schedule will likely be bi-weeklyish until we’re comfortably hitting Goal 2, with the goal of consistent weekly episodes
Goal #1: Audience
We are here - would love to have 1,000k Substack subscribers by the year 🫶🏽
Leverage networks from interviewed guests
Shares of clips on social media
Goal #2: Monetise
Thank you to our first paid subscriber!
Little-ish fish: Subscriber donations, resource hub of recommendations - affiliate marketing, promo codes etc
Would love some ideas for paid subscriber perks?
Big fish: sponsored content / episodes
Tech & productivity tools: Software companies offering project management, accounting, or CRM tools
Co-working spaces & membership groups: Popular London-based spaces & clubs
Financial services: Banks, fintech startups, or investment firms catering to small businesses
Personal development: Team up with online learning platforms
Lifestyle brands: Brands that align with our interests and values - food, beverage, athleisure, restaurants, cafes etc
Goal #3: Hire
I am personally looking into grants to speed up this up because right now, this is all me and I’m just a girl
Have someone/multiple people to:
Manage production
Social media uploading & comments
Partnerships
Chime In
Would love any feedback at this stage! To help us grow for now:
Share this post
Restack parts of this if you’re a Substack user
Or take a screenshot and shout us out on social media!
Stay tuned for future posts
Your girl,
Frances
