After going over last week’s post I realized that I wasn’t at all clear in presenting what I am actually trying to do. As you can tell from the title, I am launching a Podcast, but here are a few more details.
I am starting my adventures in social media by focusing on a topic which has been a passion of mine for quite some time. I was actually quite surprised to see that very few people are publishing on the topic regularly. Although there is not a lot of regular content on the topic out there, I will not be chasing the long tail on this one.
Why I am Keeping the Podcast Name Secret
I will be using Zen Against The Machine as the platform to track and share my journey. I am keeping the real channel name and topic anonymous for these two reasons:
- For the readers of this blog who are perhaps doing something similar, the channel topic should make no difference. That is, all the lessons I will learn from my mistakes will probably be relevant for all newcomers out there. For those not trying something similar, the topic and channel name are even less relevant.
- I want the growth of the channel to be as organic as possible. If for some absurd reason this blog takes off, or more likely tanks, I do not want it to affect the results of my passion project.
It was obvious to me what topic to focus on. However, I am still not quite sure if it is best to launch it as a blog, a YouTube channel, or a Podcast.
So I am taking a gamble. I am launching channel a Podcast. The accompanying website and YouTube channels will be secondary sources of traffic. So I hope.
I will address this passion project simply as Project T-POD.
