Podcast Pathway for Students - Eps. #328

Between the coronavirus pandemic, racial violence, climate change, and general uncertainty about the future, today's kids are growing up in chaotic and uncertain times. Unfortunately, research has shown that anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues are on the rise for young people today.  

There is, however, some good news.  We have a media outlet that allows them to open up, a place to relax, relate and release and connect with others and that media is a podcast.

Podcasts are easy, accessible audio that enable students, their families or school administrators to discuss various topics, sharing stories of challenges and triumphs, tips and activities, or overall life management skills.

Thanks to an invitation from Pamela Draper, Founder of Gateway Charter School in Wilmington, DE, I am going to be presenting the Podcast Pathway for Students on April 3rd.

I am covering these topics:

• What is a podcast?
• How can I make my podcast stand out?
• How do I come up with a topic for my podcast?
• Topics to consider

So if you are an educator and are looking to start a podcast in your school or if your students are interested in learning more, please send an email to [email protected] and request a 7-Step Podcast Checklist and if you in Delaware, I would love to visit your school or teacher meeting to share more.

Are there products and/or services that you just love and post about them on social media any chance you get?  Have you taken a trip lately and loved the location and or the accommodations?

Are you a foodie that loves to share recipes?  Is there a restaurant or bar that you love to visit, If so, then you should think about promoting these products and services on your podcast.

As a blogger or influencer since 2012, I have made a little, not much, but a few coins from product promotions.  I along with two other boomer bloggers were even flown to Los Angeles and was on Rodeo Drive to shoot a commercial for Depend undergarments which also appeared in Woman's Day Magazine. 

I have received checks, clothing, laptops, printers and cars just to promote products, if you don’t believe me, head over to my first blog, DeDivahDeals.com and check it out.

I would have probably made a lot more or received more products had I not pivoted to a more business profile page and started my own business in social media management, but just like anything else in life, there are ebbs and flows and I am flowing back into the product endorsements and now can use my podcast as another platform.

So in this episode I will briefly talk about Affiliate Marketing and Sponsorships and I invite you to subscribe to my blog for the full transcript later.

In preparation and anticipation of my presentation at PodKnow 2023, I am sharing the 5 ways in which to broaden your brand with a podcast.

Are you a business or a brand? 

You may not own and operate an online business, or a brick and mortar shop, but you are a brand if you are sharing content on social media or in print media and because of that you should definitely consider starting a podcast.

I’m willing to bet that when you think of branding you immediately think of a brick and mortar or online marketing business, however, that isn’t the case.  If you are a doctor, lawyer, preacher, teacher, Iman, author, student, a stay-at-home mom or dad, content creator, cartoonist, realtor, designer or even a couch potato a podcast will definitely help to broaden your brand when you want to share more of your content/course or opinion.

In this episode, I share 5 reasons why you should start a podcast which includes:

1. You will reach an active audience
2. Speaking is quicker than writing
3. Some people prefer listening over reading
4. Men and Women listen to podcast equally
5. It's FREE or relatively inexpensive when compared to other forms or marketing

Take a listen and then leave a review, and don't forget to share with your family, friends, bae and boo too.  If you have topics that you wish for me to cover, please send an email to [email protected] or check out my social media platforms at https://linktr.ee.com/ablakeenterprises
