Podcasting for Coaches™

Last weekend I traveling to Salt Lake City, Utah where I was on a panel about Women in Podcasting at the Outlier Podcast Festival.

The Outlier festival happens a few times a year in various cities around the country and this was my second time attending. It's an intimate event with a laid-back vibe that makes it really fun to learn new podcasting insights and tips.

It those insights that I talk about in this episode. So, tune in to hear the cool new app that lets you take notes (and organize them) while you're listening to podcast episodes, why you need to do an audit of your podcast at least once every year, the easy hack for getting a long-winded guest to stop talking, why engagement is as important as the content itself, and the awesome new offering I'm launching TODAY that is practically free!

"If you want your podcast and your business to work hand-in-hand, you have to start thinking about them as the same thing and not separate things."

As you wrap up one year and plan your goals for the next one, don't forget about your podcast.

I see far too many podcasters who aren't intentional with the content they're putting our and the products or services they're promoting on their show.

In this episode, I'm explaining exactly how you can prep your podcast for new year so that you always know exactly what you're promoting and what your content should be centered around.

Note: This will be my final episode of 2019. I'll be returning with a new episode on January 9th, 2020.

"The number one thing that prevents people from getting approved by Apple, is your main podcast artwork."

It's the first week of December and this means we're about a month away from the major new podcast boom that comes every January.

This also means there are a lot of new podcasters getting ready to submit their shows to the various listening platforms.

Unfortunately, this can be a frustrating experience for those new podcasters who get rejected by Apple because they don't understand the guidelines their show is supposed to meet.

That's why, in this episode, I'm breaking down the common issues podcasters experience when submitting their show to Apple.

SPECIAL NOTE: For some inexplicable reason, I neglected to mention an important artwork guideline in the episode. In addition to the guidelines mentioned in the episode, your main podcast image must be 72 DPI. If you work with a graphic designer, this is information they'll need to know.

"Reuse this content over and over again. It's there for you. It's at your disposal."

One of the biggest mistakes I see podcasters make is that they release an episode, promote it everywhere for the following week, and they forget all about once the next episode is released. It's a cycle of constantly releasing content and then ignoring it.

In this episode, I provide some ideas for how you can make the most of this backlog of fantastic content and ensure that it's not just forgotten.

"Your show is not going anywhere just because iTunes is going away."

But, if you're anything like most people in podcasting Facebook groups or the people who've emailed and messaged me, this seems to have come out of nowhere and is a cause for alarm.
