06: Picking the Perfect Podcast Category

Picking the right category for your podcast is essential for getting it found in podcast platforms. I'm going to teach you a way to pick a category that may seem counterintuitive. But it's really effective in making your podcast more findable.

"When you pick less popular categories, that means ones with fewer podcasts in them, it's easier for podcasts to be found. It's easier for your podcast to rise in the ranks."

In this episode, you will learn:

1. How to pick a category for your podcast that will help new listeners find your show

2. How to pick a less popular category so your podcast has a better chance of being found

3. What the most popular categories are for podcasts
