📱 Best Platforms
Fiverr (podcast intro voiceover gigs with high buyer traffic), podcasting Facebook groups (new podcasters post asking for intro VO recommendations), Upwork (search 'podcast intro voice' for active listings).
📖 The Hustle
Every podcast needs a professional-sounding intro — 'Welcome to the [Name] Show, where we explore...' — but most indie podcasters record it themselves on their phone. You provide a polished 20-45 second intro and outro with energy, warmth, and personality. Charge $15-40 per intro/outro set. Takes 20-30 minutes to record and edit. New podcasts launch daily and all need this.
🚀 First Step
Write and record 3 different podcast intro styles (high-energy interview show, calm storytelling show, professional business show) as your demo reel.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Ask podcasters for their show description and 3 adjectives they want their intro to convey — this personalization gets you 5-star reviews.
- Deliver both a music-bed version and a dry voice-only version so they can mix with their own music if preferred.
- Offer a 'full podcast VO package' for $50: intro, outro, sponsorship message template, and segment transition phrases.
