What Goes into a Successful Podcast?

1. Know who your target audience is and know what they want.
2. Give it to them via audio that is not distracting
3. Use a consistent schedule so they can add you to their routine
4. Your content should be so good it inspires people to tell their friends.
5. Don’t quit
6. Don’t worry about making money for three years.
7. Don’t OBSESS about your stats
8. Focus on your audience.

The math of podcast downloads is

Total Number of downloads = Value X Promotion If you promote an episode that has no value, your results are pointless. If you deliver value but don’t promote it (and by that I mean you might have to get out of your chair) then your podcast will grow slowly.

41:14 Portable power for your Zoom H5 or Zoom H6.

Anker Power Bank (safe for planes)

NOTE: This was sent in from a listener after this episode was published:
"I’ve actually destroyed an H6 by using too powerful of a battery source. Like you and Jim, I assumed it would be like every other device I have that takes a standard 5 v usb changer. And can take output of 1.5 A, 2.4 A, etc. NOT SO. It should only take the low level of 1 A. Or even .5 A that many laptops put out over their USB. - DANNY STERN 

Users should only use power sources that match Zoom’s own power adaptor stats https://www.zoom-na.com/products/product-accessories/zoom-ad-17-ac-adapter. Buy the AD-17 Adapter a Amazon

44:52 Dave was approved to be an Amazon Affiliate
