Last week, we talked about whether you should have guests on your podcast. Today, we're walking through the four systems you need if you have guests on your show to have better guest episodes, get the most bang for your buck from the whole interview process, and make your life much easier!
I'm sharing how to use email templates to reach out to and pitch guests, automating your scheduling process with Calendly, the importance of prepping before your interview, and what to include in your post-interview email.

Over the years, I've gotten to know and worked with a lot of podcasters, and one of the challenges that keeps coming up is whether you should have guests on your podcast. As you'll hear, it's not a one-size-fits-all answer!
Should you only have big-name guests on your podcast? Will having guest episodes affect your position as an expert? What even are the benefits of podcast guests? Tune in to hear my answers to these questions and get a better idea of what makes the most sense for your unique show.

Whenever we talk about podcast data, your mind probably goes straight to your download numbers. But in reality, there's so much more you can look at. Today, we're going to look at data in a slightly different way.
Kierra Conover is here to talk about what you can track outside the norm to help drive decisions around marketing your podcast. She also shares ways to track whether your podcast is generating sales for your business and, for those who have yet to launch, how you can use your existing email and social data to strategically launch your show and come up with your first episode topics.

Podcasting can be an awesome addition to your business, but it will only get to the point where it's helping your business if you actually get started. And to celebrate my third podcast anniversary, I have several fun episodes coming up this month that will be especially relevant to those of you who, for whatever reason, haven't taken that leap of faith and started your own podcast yet.

Podcast sponsorships are an incredible way for any podcaster to monetize their show. Some of you might feel like this is out of reach because you don't have a big enough listenership, while others of you may just have no idea where to start when it comes to sponsorships.
Today's guest, Traci DeForge, is here to share how you can reimagine podcast sponsorships and gain sponsors in a way that's ethical and on-brand for your business. We talk about ways to integrate sponsors into your show, create sponsorship packages even if you don't have thousands of downloads per episode, and secure sponsorships before you even launch your show.

How many times have you sat down to plan out a podcast episode and record it and then felt stressed out when you realized you still had to come up with a title? Or maybe you're the complete opposite, and you just kind of go with the first thing that comes to mind.
Either way, you might be asking yourself, "Do podcast episode titles even matter?" My quick answer is YES. In my opinion, episode titles are so important. In this episode, you'll learn why your titles matter for searchability, the importance of capturing your listeners's interest, and a few other tips and things to remember when it comes to titling your episodes.

This episode is the first in a new series that I'm going to be doing from time to time, and I'm calling it the "You Oughta Know" series. (And if that instantly makes you think of the Alanis Morissette song, then we should be friends.)
Inside this series, I'm going to share some updates that have been going on recently in the podcast industry and just some things that I think you oughta know about. So today, I'm running through some important updates about YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts that I think are relevant to all podcasters.
