Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about contributing constructively to an existing community. Whether or not you run your own community, there’s no harm in getting involved in others within your topic, too. This doesn’t mean going around spamming everywhere about your podcast. It’s about being a positive, pro-active, and helpful person. For example, you can offer answers to questions, or you could even ask some of your own. Kicking off an ongoing weekly conversation can be a great idea too. For example “hey fellow writers, what’s everyone been working on this week?”, or, “alright photographer pals, let’s see your best shot from the past seven days”. This positive community involvement means people get to know you - and, by default - your podcast. Some will become listeners, but even those who don’t will appreciate the positive contribution you’re making in your space.
