From zero reach to real impact — I need your early-stage podcasting wisdom!

I’ve started a podcast on a topic I believe is deeply valuable:

How responsibility is the real path to freedom — why we must work for freedom, take responsibility, and resist handing it away for short-term comfort.

To be as authentic as possible, I decided to do it in my native language, German.

But here’s my challenge: I don’t yet have the reach to connect with all the people who might benefit from it. To be honest, I don't have any reach at all!

As experienced podcasters, I’d love to hear your wisdoms:

💡 What tips or tricks did you use in your early days to grow your audience?

💡 How did you build and engage your community?

Your advice could help me share this message with those who need to hear it most.

So, I beg you to spare just two to five minutes of your time to help a fellow pleb out by giving me your thoughts!

Dear fren,

Appreciate what you're doing! and always support🫡

But I don’t really have any tips for growing a channel, honestly I’m stuck too. In the past 30 days, my subscriber count has gone up by…2

So I started asking myself:

Why did I even start this channel?

And why do I insist on using my mother tongue, Cantonese?

The answer:

I can express myself much more clearly in Cantonese.

I might inspire more Bitcoiners here in Hong Kong, helping to strengthen and decentralize the network.

I’ve always carried the ethos I learned from nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc 's nostr:npub1w0rldx5sdg960fw7lffu9r4tcec3nlu0ez2jzhdnl6x0tvdgpnkqf5v9xl ethos

I was also motivated by nostr:npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5 's videos to start a channel and join Nostr in the first place.

Worst scenario?

Maybe I won’t reach anyone for months to come.

But in the process:

I’ll keep learning while preparing and explaining topics.

I’ll help my family and friends understand what I’m passionate about.

I’ll continue being part of this revolution.

So I’ll keep grinding

No regrets

That's the spirit!

Same here is some sense.

I keep doing the videos as long as friends and family will enjoy them and work on my craft to get better!

The 3 most important things are: Consistency, consistency, consistency. And after that it's authenticity and finding your own voice, which follows from consistency. nostr:npub1w0rldx5sdg960fw7lffu9r4tcec3nlu0ez2jzhdnl6x0tvdgpnkqf5v9xl

Obrigado.

I feel the same way, the average "American" "isn't" quite like me, the way they communicate, the order of words, the way they think, the priorities, "the respect", everything is different. But I like that. It's good to recognize and appreciate the difference, as Gigi said it all, consistency, and don't get carried away by the ¥€$... easy
