How to Develop a Webshow to Showcase Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career A webshow is a fabulous way to share your expertise while boosting your brand online. Itâs an interactive way to reach your audience and help them get to know you in a way that written words on a blog simply cannot. Here are a few steps to take to start your own show Step one: Decide on an idea or topic for your show It should be broad enough to where you can create a multitude of shows on a variety of interesting topics, but narrow enough where youâre filling a specific niche. Do your research on whatâs out there already and ask yourself the following: Who will your audience be? Is your topic being covered? What other shows are considered competition in your niche? If there are other established shows out there that cover your topic, how can you tweak your focus to offer something different? Step two: Determine a platform to host your show Are you camera shy or do you enjoy being in the spotlight? Would you prefer hosting a podcast as opposed to a videotaped show? Itâs important to think about your limitations and weaknessesâ"along with which format youâll have the most time forâ"when developing your own show.

Reach out to guest experts for some variety and welcome call-ins or questions from listeners.
