Do you know what makes your podcast stand out—and who exactly it’s for?

If you're unsure about what to name your podcast or how to position it in the crowded world of YouTube and podcasting platforms, then this episode is for you.

Today, we're talking about how to nail your niche and craft a compelling podcast concept that will not only attract your ideal clients—but position you as the go-to expert in your industry

🛠️ Tools to Check Your Podcast Name

• namechecker.com – See if your podcast name is available across social and domains
• Apple Podcasts & Spotify – Make sure no one’s using the name
• YouTube & Google – Check competition and searchability

🤖 Bonus: Use This ChatGPT Prompt to Brainstorm Names

This is one of my favorite tools I give clients—use this ChatGPT prompt to generate creative, strategic name options:

"I’m starting a podcast and need help coming up with the perfect name. Here are the details about my podcast:

Main Topic: (insert your niche)
Target Audience: (who is this for?)
Tone/Style: (e.g. professional, fun, inspirational)
Unique Angle: (e.g. weekly coaching tips, guest interviews)
Keywords to Include: (relevant to your topic)
Length Preference: (short and catchy or descriptive?)

Based on this, suggest 5–10 podcast names I could use."

This works like magic—because the more clarity you have, the easier it is to launch with confidence.
