I Started a Podcast!

Hello readers! If you already know me personally or follow my Facebook page, you may already know that I started podcasting this week! Last week, I noticed a decline in blog post views over the past couple of months. Blogging is not all about the views for me, but when I pour my heart into writing a post, I want it to be seen. So I decided to do some brainstorming and research on how to branch out with my brand and find my audience.

While I was thinking, it suddenly hit me! Some people just may not be interested in reading as much as I am. So many people want to hear words spoken or watch videos online. Not many people feel like reading anymore. With that being said, I will most definitely continue to write blog post because it is something that I really enjoy, but I also want to try podcasting as well!

The reason I chose to podcast is because I love to talk! I can talk someone’s ears off easily! I have always been that way (especially if I am passionate about what I am talking about). When I mentioned the idea of starting a podcast to my husband, he grinned and said, “That is so perfect for you because you are always talking anyways! Why not make it your job?” He loves to pick on me, but he has got a point! Haha.

So on Monday of this week, I went to Walmart and bought the cheapest USB headset with a microphone that I could find, and I came home and signed up to start a podcast on Speaker.com (after doing some research). There is also a mobile app as well that I downloaded to help me keep track of everything on the go. I am loving it so far!

My podcast name is “Mama Katie Speaks” because it is connected to the Mama Katie brand that I have already started! I uploaded an introduction to our family on Monday (Click here to listen), and I also uploaded my first official episode this morning called Episode 2: Dates to Help Couples Reconnect! It was a recap of the last blog that I posted!

My plan is to recap some of my blog posts as well as creating separate content just for the podcast! It will all be family friendly content about motherhood, pregnancy, family, and more! It will be a great way to try something new and promote the blog at the same time!

I plan on posting new episodes every Monday and Thursday at 10:00am! If you want to know the easiest way to get updates, follow my Mama Katie Speaks Facebook page here. Thank you so much for the support, and stay tuned for more content coming soon!
