Podcast Theory

Getting off schedule in your podcast production is the last place you want to be. It's the first sign of things going off the rails and it won't be long before new episode releases get delayed. Before you know it, all the consistency you've built will be shot and your audience will turn their attention to another podcast.

Fortunately, if you commit to your schedule and put effort into your keeping everything on track, this is a pain you'll never have to feel.

In Episode 21 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share some tips for how you can keep your schedule on point. It's all about using your time wisely, committing time to your podcast each week, and sticking to that time block no matter what. This episode dives into how you can make podcasting a priority in your weekly schedule of events and ensure you always stick to the schedule you put in place.

New content ideas are the lifeblood of your podcast. Without fresh ideas to expand upon for upcoming shows, the results of your podcast will suffer and your publication consistency will take a drastic hit. Once your audience cannot rely on your episodes coming out when expected, they'll turn their attention to someone else's podcast.

On Episode 20 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share an insanely simple, no-brainer exercise that will ensure your content idea list never goes empty.

When your latest podcast becomes available, your job is to spread the word and get as many people listening and sharing your content. Even if you have thousands of subscribers who receive a notification when new shows go live, leveraging your social networks and email lists give you more opportunities to put your podcast in more people's ears.

In Episode 19 of Pod Theory, I'm going to drop five actions you should immediately take when your podcast goes live. Well...the 5th action may not be immediate...but it's still something you'll want to utilize!

We live in a world where reviews are everywhere. Seemingly every platform we use has some sort of review component built into it. And while reviews can provide an up close and personal look at a user's experience with a product or service, they only provide one point of view.

Are reviews important to podcasts? Yes. But do they tell the whole story? No.

On Episode 16 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share why I feel reviews are important to your show, but they're just one of five elements that can grab a new listener and get them hooked on your show. If you focus on the first four of these elements, the good reviews will follow...and your podcast will grow and evolve.

In Episode 16 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share some things you should be on the lookout for as you determine what personalities to feature on your brand podcast. If you've already determined that you yourself is going to host, these steps will help you find kick-ass co-hosts that will help bring your show to life.

Your podcast going live is a big deal! You need to celebrate that by going crazy with content releases when your show makes its world premiere.

Instead of just releasing one episode to lift the curtain on your show, it's better to release multiple episodes in order get listeners hooked on your podcast from their first listen, as well as give them a well-rounded view of what your show is all about AND set yourself up with more opportunities to get ratings and reviews.

Launching your podcast is huge and, in Episode 13, I'm going to tell you why - along with explaining the importance of having a solid launch strategy and executing said strategy to ensure your podcast comes to life in grand fashion. There's multiple reasons why this is important, and we'll get into those reasons today.

Having a bank of episodes you can pull from when you need to release a new show is one of the best resources you can have. As I've mentioned on Pod Theory before, many podcasts fail because publishers don't have a plan in place. And a big part of that plan is batching content so you have a cushion when other priorities interrupt your podcasting schedule.

Batching content and having multiple episodes ready to deploy gives you flexibility and will help you remain consistent with new content releases.

On Episode 12 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share the importance of batching and give you an idea of how many episodes you should have completed and ready to release before you decide to officially launch your podcast.
