Christian Podcasting with Tammy Munson

Hey, Y'all -

If you're a newbie podcaster looking to grow your podcast or want to be a podcaster, grab a notebook and a pen and listen in! Today, I wanted to take a moment and talk about what happens AFTER we launch our brand new baby podcast into the world. It's all easy breezy… right? Well - not quite. I also talk about:

• The post-launch period of your podcast should be geared towards the growth of your audience and developing your loyal fans.
• How to keep creating buzz around your podcast and how to avoid podfade.
• I've got a recommendation if you are looking for a new XLR mic!

Hey, Y'all ! Welcome back to the Creative Cast; After a much-needed hiatus, I'm finally back with all of you, and I couldn't be more excited! The hiatus was amazing and just what I needed to get my health back on track, but I missed talking with you weekly.

Thank you for the notes of support, love, and prayers for healing. Y'all made the difference.

In today's episode - We are kicking off Season 3 of Creative Cast! What can you expect this season?? We are tackling all the usual tips and tricks and updates from around Podcast Land, but we will also be having conversations about the "business" of podcasting, some coaching time, marketing, and lots more!

Hey Friend!

Can you believe it is the end of January already? 2022 is still new, fresh, and FULL of possibilities. No matter what the world might tell you: You are not behind, friend.

Occasionally, I'll recommend to my clients that it's time to freshen up their podcast, strategize and this year, I've decided to take my own advice! After this episode, there will pause in new episodes so I can have time to strategize and produce (2 of my favorite things!).

I'm so excited to welcome my friend, Kirsten Vossler to the show today! In this episode, we're answering the questions most of us find ourselves asking: I want to launch a podcast, what are the things I need to know?

Kirsten and I dive into motherhood, her being the mom of 8, and why she wanted to start her podcast. In our conversation, we talk the importance of what is most important for YOUR podcast and some of the lessons she learned in her journey.

I say it all the time, but I mean it: Women podcasters are my heroes!

So while I'm taking this pause - I really want to help you grow your platform and visibility in 2022, so I'll be highlighting new faces every month on my socials, email & show.

Hey Friend -

Outside of talking about podcasting and diving into analytics, one of my favorite things to talk about is marketing! I'm so excited about today's episode because I get to "nerd out" talking about marketing, funnels, and how to create a podcast sales funnel!

Let's be real, We've all bought something online recently, except maybe my great aunt Gertie. (but she's 90! )

Some of us may be as recently as earlier today, but I'm not naming any names here.

If you've used the Internet at all in the past five years, especially social media, you have definitely been in someone's sales funnel. Whether that was a sale, an email list, or a post on Instagram that you commented on. Anyway, you get the point. Whether your podcast is business-related, or not, you can benefit from setting up a sales funnel for your podcast.

Hey Friend -

Happy New Year!

Over the last few years, Podcasting grew by leaps and bounds. That said, podcasting in its simplest form is exclusionary to the 10+ million people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Audio-only content cannot always be consumed or enjoyed by this particular community, and the problem gets worse when there's poor audio quality or the lack of accessibility features.

In this particularly personal episode of The Creative Cast, Tammy talks about why podcasts need to try to be as accessible as possible to the special needs community. She includes tips, tricks, and resources on how to make your podcast more accessible in 2022!

Merry Christmas, Friends!

2021 was a doozy of a year. I know that I speak for everyone, when I stay it was a LONG year. In fact, It felt more like 2020: The Sequel.

I have so much hope for the new year. I know y'all are with me when I say Goodbye 2021. It was a year full of so much. There were lots of lessons learned, grief, and much more.

In this episode of The Creative Cast, I wrap up the year and take a look at the trends to watch for in 2022. It's been another remarkable year for many in podcasting with some tremendous growth in our industry. As we wrap up the year it's time to ask, 'What's Next?'

I just want to say - Thank you all for listening, subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing the podcast. The podcast has grown so much since we launched in April, and you are a direct result of that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

XO,

Tammy

Do you remember the last time God showed up in your life? Even though the Lord is everywhere always, many times He'll show up in a very specific way.

We all have those moments after a particularly challenging season and we look back and we see the exact moment that God's presence was there, and how He went ahead of us in order to make that happen.

That is what the Storytellers Live podcast is all about.

In this episode of The Creative Cast, Tammy sits down with 2 of the ladies of the Storytellers Live podcast, Robyn Kown and Lindy Walker to talk about these specific moments, the origins of their podcast and why telling your story is so important.

On the StoryTellers Live podcast, everyday people share real and personal stories. Some stories are profound, challenging, and emotional, while others are more common and relatable, shared with honesty and humor. All of these stories reveal what God can do in our lives when we trust Him with the details.

For the majority of podcasters, we all have a similar goal.

Our main goal is to put out high-value content on a consistent basis. As a podcaster, you are always looking for ways to grow your brand, show your expertise, as well as your audience.

There are a variety of ways to market and promote your podcast. Some of them include - posting your episodes as blog posts on your website, you could launch a video-based podcast, or you could leverage the power of Pinterest to help promote your show.

In this episode of The Creative Cast, Tammy takes a deep dive into the idea of using your podcast to help you write a book as well as some of the benefits of adding a book to your marketing efforts!
