We're now into Day 4 of our 5 Day Get Started Podcasting Challenge!

If you've been following along, you now have a selected your equipment, built a solid foundation for your podcast business, and discovered how you can stand out from the crowd.

Now it's time for an exciting (and sometimes nerve racking) moment.... recording your first episode!

One of the greatest things about podcasting is... there are NO RULES.

You can design your show any way you want, you want a 60 second interview show...great. If you want a 4 hour solo episode...awesome. As long as it’s entertaining and useful to your audience people will listen.

One of the worst things about podcasting is... there are NO RULES. The freedom and possibilities can be paralyzing to many people.

To help overcome that resistance and give you a little direction in terms of how to script out your solo episodes I wanted to offer two script templates that you can use as a jumping off platform. Of course, feel free to toss the templates and find the flow that fits your show.

Also, when recording your very first episode there are three key items you want to cover. The reason is that the first episode will be one of your most listened to episodes. It doesn’t matter if people join you on episode 25, 100, or 700 a certain percentage will jump all the way back to the beginning to listen to that very first episode to find out about you and the podcast.
