If you’re a regular listener of the Delaware Blogger podcast you have heard me say this, time and time again at the end of each episode - this is my CTA or call-to-action which is what should be said at the end of each podcast show.

I recently conducted a Social Media for Small Business Workshop and one of the items we covered were Calls-To-Action, they are important not only on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, but they also play an important part in finding your podcast and with audience engagement. 

One of the hardest things for any social media platform is discoverability or being found, attracting and building an audience. After you have done all the hard work to create a great podcast, it only makes sense to ask your listeners to engage take action after listening to the audio.   

This episode will not only give you a few tips on what to say, but also, why.  Remember, if you have found anything of interest in today’s episode make sure to share with your family friends, bae and boo too and don’t forget to follow me on linktree too at ablakeenterprises

As a blogger who has turned it into a profitable business, I realize that not everyone has time to read a 600-word blog post, let alone write one. 

Many people just want to watch a quick video or listen to a short show, which is probably one of the best benefits oa business podcast.

Blog Your Way to a Business Profit was one of several podcasts that I hosted and they are all great ways to reach people outside of when they’re sitting in front of a computer. 

The best part, you don’t need to be a blogger or an established content creator to learn how to start a podcast for your business.

Unlike written or visual content, podcasts are great to listen to when you’re on the treadmill at the gym, on your morning commute to work, sticking your headphones in while doing yard work or a little spring cleaning like clearing out the closet…you can listen during any of these times.

It’s now easier than ever to listen to podcasts. Bluetooth technology allows people to listen in their cars. Apple’s Podcast app is pre-installed on every device and it only takes a few clicks to subscribe to a podcast. It’ll also notify them each time a new episode is available to listen and download.

10 Benefits of a Business Podcast

3. It's easy to get started
4. Alternative to video

What steps have you taken in starting a podcast?

What is your biggest roadblock to starting a podcast?

These are just a few questions that I am here to help you with each and every week.  Last week I share a few interesting podcast facts for 2022, and it you missed it, please check it out, however, there is one fact that I want you to always remember: 

• 66% of consumers prefer podcasts over television

I watched this week’s episodes of Grand Crew and Blackish and they both included some podcast humor in their shows.  On Blackish, Dr. Rainbow Johnson started a podcast and had all of her equipment, headphones, mic and laptop but she forgot to hit record on her show.  On Grand Crew they talked about starting a show entitled “Pancakes and podcasts but it was being recorded outdoors - a big no no!

Speaking of food, there is a new podcast show “What I ate when I was broke” being advertised on the radio.

So with all these new shows poping up, I know you are ready to start your podcast and in this episode I am sharing 20+ topics to get you to stop procrastinating and start podcasting!

1. Just go for it - prepare but don’t procrastinate
2. Don’t have to be perfect to start - practice, practice, progress
3. Schedule time and factor in personal and professional life
4. Have a strategic plan - narrow your audience - can’t reach everyone
5. Line up guests and stay on topic
6. Reach out to the “experts” or those in the field with more experience - forums, groups and communities
7. Outsource - cannot be a “jack of all trades” because podcasting is more than just talking
8. It takes time…lots of time
9. Start sooner - “when was the best time to plant a tree 10 years ago?...”
10. Better to be published and be imperfect thant to be perfect (in your mind) and take forever to publish

Hey, are you listening to me?

Wow, can you believe that we're fast approaching the end of 2021?   Despite the ups and downs, it has still been a very prosperous year especially as a podcaster, so as I close out Season 5 we're going to end with podcast promotion tips using social media.

Welcome to Episode #281 of the Delaware Blogger Podcast - “Hey, are you listening to me?”

In this episode we will just talk about promotion on social media, focusing on the big 4 even though according to stats, Tik Tok is gaining speed, but since I haven’t mastered those mini videos, I am going to stick with what I know.

As you know Facebook used to be number one but for most it is dropping down to number 2 with Instagram, it’s little cousin quickly taking over, then there is Twitter and LinkedIn.  Every day you can find new formulas on when and how to best post to these sites, but once again I am going to emphasize that you don’t need to be on all of these platforms, but you do need to be where your listeners are and be there constantly and don’t break the date.

Take a listen to the entire episode for tips to promote on these 4 sites, then leave a review and share the episode with a family member, friend, your bae or boo and enter for a chance to win 1 of 3 Telfar Bags.
