Self-doubt is hitting me
Just 5 days until the official launch of A Swedish Fika, it feels unreal. I have everything prepared and uploaded both on Buzzsprout and on Youtube, but despite that, I am getting a bit nervous. I second guess myself and some of the decisions I have made, one thing I really been thinking about is the name I decided on, A Swedish Fika, who will ever search for that? Maybe someone will look for the word Swedish, but did I make a big mistake using the word fika in my title? Only time will tell, and I like it a lot so fingers crossed.
Did I make a mistake?
Another thing I am second-guessing right now is if it was a good idea to launch both as an audio and a video podcast at the same time? Maybe I should have just focused on the audio side at first and maybe build that up before I included audio? Since I’ve been creating YouTube videos for almost two years now I know how much work that takes, and I am still creating for my regular channel so this was probably not the smartest decision? But if it overwhelms me I can always pause the youtube channel for a while and focus on the audio version.
How to get the word out there?
The third thing that worries me at the moment is how do I reach people and create some sort of interest for the podcast. I am not very good at self-promote, a very typical Swedish trait, and I have no idea how to get the word out there. So far I have used some social media for publishing posts to try and create some interest, but I am sure I could do so much more. If you have any tips or ideas please leave a comment and I will try them.
