Starts 22nd Feb!

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been running online Start Your Podcast days and oh my goodness they’ve been received so well!

I’m running another one before the end of the year on 11th December and as I’ve had so many questions about it I thought it would be good to do an episode on how to get the most from a Start Your Podcast Day.

The days are for a small group of people who are ready to get started in the next 1-2 months.

Here's what we cover on the day:

• Preparation and Strategy
• 
  
• Equipment and Hosting
• 
  
• Content and Guesting
• 
  
• Production and Post Production
• 
  
• Launching
• 
  
• Growth

They run from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm and we have a working lunch from 12:30-2 pm - you get time to eat lunch but then you have some work to do!

The days are very interactive and you have to come along prepared to work! You’re definitely not going to be listening to me talk all day. You're there to learn!

So how can you get the most from the day?

• Block out the whole day
• 
  
• Stock up on stationery supplies
• 
  
• Stock up on snacks!
• 
  
• Test your tech
• 
  
• Make a note of the questions you want to ask on your free follow up call
• 
  
• Participate
• 
  
• Think about who your podcast is for
• 
  
• Think about the purpose of your podcast and what you want it to do for your podcast
• 
  
• Schedule in half a day each quarter to plan your podcast content
• 
  
• Decide on your launch date

You can book your place on the December Start Your Podcast Day HERE

How do you know if your podcast is a success?

We’ve spoken before about how getting in the charts is only one measure of the success of your podcast.

Yes it’s great to be in the charts but it’s not the end of the world if you’re not!

There are quite a few other measures of success for your podcast and in this episode we’re going to talk about 3 of them.

2. Having an engaged audience
3. 
   
5. Your download numbers are growing
6. 
   
8. Potential new clients are reaching out to you

But what if these things aren’t happening for you just yet?

Don’t worry! I’ve got your back with 5 questions to ask yourself so you can get your podcast back on track and if you’ve not started your show yet this will still be a super useful episode for you to make sure you start strong!

In this episode I’m talking all about 6 mistakes new podcasters make. I’m not going to leave it there though because I’m going to give you support on what to do instead. This episode is still great for you if you’ve already started your show as you can almost ‘self audit’ your show and ask yourself, ‘Do I do that?’

Here are the 6 mistakes we discuss:

1. Lack of preparation
2. Getting the wrong equipment
3. Assuming podcasting takes too long
4. Thinking the tech is too difficult for you
5. Not having a proper launch
6. Not planning what comes next for your listeners
