  • Thinking of Adding Ads To Your Podcast - Listen to This First

    I was listening to an episode of the Media Roundtable where people who work in the advertising space answered if they listened to ads. I know I am not a fan of bad ads, but I wondered what my audience thought. If you're considering putting advertisements into your podcast, you want to hear what NOT to do.

  • Unleash the Power of LinkedIn for Your Podcast: Insider Tips from a LinkedIn Pro

    One of the benefits of podcasting is your get to talk to experts. For me, LinkedIn is my weakest social platform. I know I should do more, but I don't. Well, 2024 is right around the corner, and LinkedIn is on the radio, so I brought on Daniel Alfon (who has been on Linkedin since 2004, has written a book on LinkedIn, offers courses, coaching, etc, and generally knows this stuff when it comes to LinkedIn and he answers all my questions.

  • Don't Get Bitten: Identifying Predatory Practices in Podcasting

    Today I talk about some practices I've seen and heard about that may be designed to prey on the uninformed and/or be designed to serve the podcaster and not their audience. I also comment on a great article from Tom Webster, which ties in nicely with a documentary called "Worst to First" which shows how Z100 in New York City described their show in a way that positioned themselves as an authority.

  • What Makes This Great? Behind the Scenes With David Hooper

    David Hooper published an episode where he gives the "behind the scenes" view of his interview with Dolly Parton on his Build a Big Podcastt show. 

    I've known Dave for years and respect his insights and snarkiness, and when I heard this episode, I felt compelled to tell everyone about it. That triggered me. Why exactly was I sharing this? Today I brought Dave on as I dissected his episode and got his comments.

    Dave has a number of books on Amazon like 101 Podcast Episode Templates – Powerful, Done-for-You Episode Templates to Grow Your Podcast Audience (Big Podcast) and Big Podcast – Grow Your Podcast Audience, Build Listener Loyalty, and Get Everybody Talking About Your Show

    What I Liked About This Episode

    Dave would increase the pressure by talking about the stakes of the situation. There was also a lot of "I wonder what happens next," which is always great. 

    At one point, he launched into a story that somewhat relieved the pressure and helped establish Dave's street credibility (he has interviewed a TON of people on his Music Business Radio show).

    You will also hear Dave be vulnerable as he shares his thoughts on the interview with Dolly.  Ultimately, you can't wait to hear how the interview goes. Did it happen? Was it good? Did Dave cry? Did he blow it? You can hear the uninterrupted full version of the episode at https://podcast.bigpodcast.com/audio/9113/571115

  • How to Build a Podcast that Drives Leads and Credibility

    While there are no rules for podcasting, there are best practices, and today I'm talking with Courtney Elmer, who helps people get into the top 100 of the Apple Charts. We also discuss how podcasting can give you back your voice and help you be heard. 

    An entrepreneur can boost sales when their podcast is

    On a regular schedule (it helps you be seen as reliable).

    Makes points through personal stories (it helps them to know you, while not going on a complete tangent).

    Good. Most people do not listen to shows that need help. Seeing you as reliable, personable, and helpful makes it easy to boost sales.

    Courtney Elmer is from the AntiFragile Entrepreneurship Podcast ( www.antifragileentrepreneurship.co ) where she extracts the invaluable wisdom from business leaders who have turned their biggest failures into fuel for exponential growth.

  • Marketing Magic: Boosting Your Podcast's Reach with Proverbs and Catch Phrases

    Today, we are talking about your episodes down to a proverb. Proverbs are crafted phrases that have successfully passed wisdom from generation to generation. Proverbs are the ultimate "long story short" that draw their power from the simplicity of their presentation. Are there things you repeat in your show often? Maybe you should embrace your proverb and turn it into swag. Boiling your content down to a proverb that is easy to remember and easy to recite helps you provide marketing materials for your audience to help them promote your show.

    DAVEISMS

    Where your WHY and your WHO overlap, you will find your WHAT to talk about.

    If the goal is monetization, get ready to do your show for FREE for a few years.

    Less than 10% of podcasters get enough downloads to get a BIG sponsor

    Starring at your stats will not make your downloads grow; starring at your audience will.

    Monthly stats are crap ( the stat that people use downloads per episode after 30 days)

    Spend $100 on a microphone and 100 hours getting to know your audience.

    Creating a podcast is easy. Creating a GOOD podcast is hard but fun.

    Podcasting is a marathon, not a sprint. (again, it can take three years to build an audience )

    Thinking a GIANT podcast launch will lead to an undeniable podcast success is like saying having a BIG wedding ensures marital bliss. In both cases, the real work is just beginning.

    You must have someone NOT named Mom to listen to your show and give honest feedback. There is no sense in paying to promote a show if it is not resonating with the audience.

    Downloads are great, but not as cool as consumption rate (seeing how far people listen can let you know how engaged your audience is)

    Having an obvious name can make it easy to be found.

    Choose the one you want to click more when you have multiple titles for an episode.

    It is NOT the media host that grows the audience. It is the content

    Treat directories like a child looking for Halloween candy. BE EVERYWHERE.

    Make sure your content does one (or more) of the following: Laugh, cry, think. Grown, Educate, or Entertain. If not you're boring.

    Listennotes stats (saying you're in the top X percent) are crap. See video

    For those who have money, there is therapy. For the rest of us, there is podcasting.

    If you want to grow your network, do an interview show. If you want to grow your influence, do a solo show. Even better do BOTH.

    You don't benefit until your audience benefits.

    While being consistent in schedule is very important (as you become part of your listener's routine) I'd rather have a "Late" show that was good than an "on time" episode that was Meh.

    Record without fear and edit without mercy.

    Podcasting is like sex in high school. Everybody says they are doing it. A few are doing it. Nobody is doing it right. Then, your podcast career is over quickly. Just like sex in high school.

    Don't try to be the most downloaded show. Try to be te most talked about show. 

    There is no such thing as too long, only too boring - Valerie Geller from the book Beyond Powerful Radio. (aff)

    Podcast Networks don't make small shows big. They make big shows bigger - Eric Nuzum from the book Make Noise: A Creator's Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling (aff)

    Don't try to be the most downloaded podcast; strive to be the most talked-about podcast. - Darrel Evans. Paraphrased from The YouTube Formula: How Anyone Can Unlock the Algorithm to Drive Views, Build an Audience, and Grow Revenue

    "Remember, customers don’t care about you; they care about themselves and their problems." - Joe Pullizi. Epic Content Marketing: How to Tell a Different Story, Break through the Clutter, and Win More Customers by Marketing Less: How to Tell a Different Story, ... and Win More Customers by Marketing Less (p. 73). McGraw-Hill Education. Kindle Edition.

    This episode is based on the book The Proverb Effect: Secrets to creating tiny phrases that change the world, making it easy for your audience to share your content without memorizing your episode.

  • Podcast Growth Strategies From Jesus - EP900

    Episode 900 (as was 800, 700, etc) has me breaking format. In this episode, I share why all the not-so-great things that happened to you grow up help make you, YOU. Your uniqueness may be the EXACT thing that resonates with people who need to hear your content.

    After coming back from the Spark Ignite Christian Podcast Conference (now Defunct), I was able to book Jesus as a guest. Not to talk about the benefits of believing in him but more about his marketing practice. He started with 12 followers, and 2000 years later people are still talking about him. He is the author of the Bible, and has a new series on Amazon called "The Chosen" (highly recommended). You can also listen to the audio drama on Audible (aff) featuring Samuel L Jackson as God.

     Feed Drops: 

    Feed drops can be a powerful strategy to gain new listeners and broaden your reach in the podcasting realm. By dropping an episode into the feed of another show, you not only introduce your content to a new audience but also establish connections with other podcasters. Just make sure the dropped episode aligns with the tone and subject matter of the host show to keep your listeners engaged.

    Participants:

    Randall Black from Work From The Weight

    Zo Richardson from Backlook Cinema

    York from Welcome to Earth Stories

    Consider Your Source:

    There are a number of different types of podcasters. Here are just a couple:

    • Fun Seekers
    • Serious Hobbyist
    • The Side Hustle-ist

    There are also many ways to monetize your show. The Value Four Value model is gaining steam, and everyone talks about podcast advertising. With the above types of podcasters they have different motivations and metrics. 

    People who work in the advertising end of podcasting focus on making sure advertisers are happy. 

    With this in mind, when you hear news, insights, and ideas about podcasting you might consider evaluating what persepctive they are coming from. There is no "wrong" perspective as there are many ways to plan, launch, grow, and monetize your show. 

    For example one recent written by Steve Goldstein on the Three Eras of Podcasting

    seemed to hint that podcasting started when advertising arrived. This makes sense coming from Steve who works in the advertising side of podcasting. 

    Podcast Rewind

    I appeared on The Flow by Ecam, talking about how to start a podcast. I shared a story about the gear I used when I first started podcasting.
