Hi Friends,
15 Months ago I read a FB post about ‘’bedtime stories for children’’ podcasts. As I was looking for a creative outlet I decided to give it a go and with 0 marketing, 0 effort my podcast reached the top 3% of global most downloaded podcasts, with my stories being downloaded 100s thousands of times - 100% organic.(Apparently my crazy stories resonate well with kids)
The last 12 months, I have had a tremendous amount of learnings including that monetizing a podcast audience of 4-8 year olds is virtually impossible + the ethics that come into play can make it questionable (As you are directly influencing the mind of very very young kids) - and so I decided to leave the monetization for what it was and just have fun with it.
To make a long story short, as I am slowly winding down the podcast, it has opened my eyes to the family/parenting space:
To be specific (and something I am currently investigating): Mental Health for Dads!
Recent studies show one in ten fathers get postpartum depression and nearly 20 percent are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when a new baby arrives. Some studies say that up to 50 percent of new dads experience PPD if their partner is experiencing depression, too. (All of which has incredible effects on any kids involved)
But ultimately, I’d be very open to explore other ideas in the family space. (I have other ideas as well!)
A few more words about me:
I’d love to connect with anyone that would be able to resonate with this niche. If you have any kind of tech skills that would be amazing but as we are living in the no-code age, passion & drive rank higher than 1/1 complimentary skills. I’d also be very much willing to join something existing in this niche
Apologies for the length of this post!
To get in touch: greanjeans22@gmail.com / I’d love to jump on a call and introduce myself in person
Cheers
