50. What I've Learned From Starting a Podcast


Listen Later

It seems like just yesterday I started this podcast—and at the same time like I’ve been thinking about starting one forever. It’s been a great connection point with my audience, and I’ve already seen direct results in my business. If you’re in the same boat as me, thinking of starting a podcast for too long but unsure of where to start, I’m going to share everything I’ve learned along the way that you can apply to your own podcast, whether you’re thinking of starting one or already have one running. I also share how to position your podcast to grow your listeners and your business, podcasting social media strategies, and more.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

  1. 04:15 - Having the right expectations for your podcast
  2. 06:50 - Giving your audience what they want
  3. 10:34 - Setting up your podcast and business to support each other
  4. 12:40 - What to do when you’re thinking of starting a podcast
  5. 17:54 - Having a business plan for your podcast
  6. 21:01 - Things to keep in mind when starting your podcast
  7. 28:28 - How to make your social media and podcast work together
  8. 32:52 - Leading people into your business
  9. 33:29 - Having a review strategy
  10. 35:22 - Batch recording your podcast

In our review of the week, amandathecoach said: "I purchased Sam’s Ultimate Bundle® in Fall 2021 as my very first step in starting my brand new company and then I started listening to her podcast. In addition to being a legal expert who somehow always answers my questions before I’ve asked them, she is a successful businesswoman who does not hold back on sharing great advice to start and run a growing business with a solid foundation. Everything she offers is super high quality and worth my time and energy. I love that she continues to connect me with other experts too through her podcast and other offers!"
