The PodCASH Show

Show Summary: “Worthy leadership means being able to lead, get results, and bring people along for the ride.”

This episode is an interview episode with a PodCash listener who became a friend in the online industry. His name is Steve Worthy, a podcaster and CEO of Worthy Leadership Group specializing in leadership coaching, communication, and productivity.

In this episode, we talk about his experiences in business and the army and how it applies to podcasting. I love how he believes in the power of surrounding yourself with smart people because your role is to bring the best people around, not solely be the best. Your strength of character, authenticity, and compassion are the attributes that will help you make the best decisions.

I know this is not the typical episode you hear from me. But I want to showcase the power of podcasting in attracting the people of your same vibe and building a great relationship with them. Steve and I don't talk too much, but knowing he's within my circle, makes me feel that I'm doing something right.

Don't forget to share this with your friends who want to improve their leadership skills and make podcasting a platform to connect & network with great people.

Exceptional Highlights:

• The more you are in leadership, and the more you mature, the more you realize you need other people.
• Empathetic listening means seeking to understand before being understood.
• Having a good intuition about a situation or person automatically puts you ahead of other people.

Show Highlights:

Why did you decide to focus on leadership as your avenue for coaching? Is there anything in particular that you see in people that they don’t see?

2:29 Steve

• Worthy leadership will always find you out. There are specific attributes that you have as a leader that others may not see in you. I started embracing the idea of leadership while looking at others from a leadership standpoint. 
• I look at the attributes of a good leader. I talk about words in leadership that a lot of people don’t talk about.

What kind of help does podcasting do to your brand or business?

26:47 Steve

• It’s social proof and brand awareness, giving you the right identity. The cool part is having your listeners give you the topics that they want to hear. And that's the growth part of podcasts and interaction that I like and have been enjoying. You consider the listener. I want to be able to give as much high-quality information as possible. 

 How did you know about The PodCash Show, and how has it helped you?

29:05 Steve

• The title of your show, The PodCash Show, caught me. The other thing was the fact that you were from the Philippines. And so I was, “Let me hear what she has to say.” 

• All of the episodes of the show have provided a lot of value. The topics are relevant to podcasters and deliver insights that podcasters don’t even think about.

30:49 

• The PodCash Show taught me the importance of having a good workflow and being consistent as a podcaster. It’s about knowing who your listeners are and what they want. The show always talked about having your niche and being focused on that. Those have been some of the things that I've taken away.

What piece of advice can you give to podcasters who are going through challenges in their business?

33:52 Steve

• For me, podcasting from a monetization standpoint looks a lot differently than sponsorships and affiliate marketing. From a business standpoint, your brands must align. Also, make sure that you niche down until it’s kind of uncomfortable, and then align your content around that. Because hopefully, you niche down to a point where you’re comfortable and would have tons of episodes based on your knowledge. And then you can stretch that knowledge down to five or six different episodes as well.

For people interested in your coaching and leadership, where can they find you, and what is the main thing you promise to deliver to them?

38:28 Steve

• The biggest thing is about saving time as a leader. The end goal is for leaders to be able to figure out how to get things done quickly. The only way to get them done quickly is to know first a little more about themselves, who they are, and how they lead. That catapults them then to everything else.

• Go to worthyleadershipgroup.com/now. They can find our podcast there and set up a discovery session free of charge. I would love to chat with anybody who wants to talk about leadership.

Show Summary: “Low number of downloads is not a hindrance to make your podcast a success.”

To reach your target conversion rate, focus not only on the number of downloads that your podcast gets. Instead, strategize on the following:

• WAY OF EARNING. Different ways of monetization require different strategies and measures of success. A good comparison is selling services versus running ads and getting sponsors. Having a sponsor requires you to have a certain number of downloads per episode, while selling your services does not. Focus on one uniform strategy first, and see if it works well for you and your podcast.
• GOALS. You need to be clear with your goals, specifically your call to action (CTA). Where would you like to bring your listeners? Giving multiple and confusing CTAs repels your target clients and lowers the chance of them actually taking action and booking a call with you. 

• CONTENT TOPICS. Your way of earning dictates the kinds of topics that you need to discuss in your podcast. If you plan to sell your services, then your content should revolve around the problem that your listeners have. It must highlight the solution that you have for them. Your measure of success will depend on the way of monetization that you choose for your podcast.

Exceptional Highlights:

• If you have a high number of downloads, but don’t have a strategy in place and your funnel is disorganized, then most likely, you will not have a high conversion rate. 
• When you just started podcasting and are still in the exploratory stage, you must have undivided attention. Channel your energy into finding and applying the right strategy.
• Don’t rush things. It’s important that you understand where your results are coming from, and what kind of strategies contribute to your success. To sustain your podcast and your business, repeat and maintain those strategies moving forward.

Show Highlights:

3:50

Where can I learn more about the ways of earning through my podcast?

• You can check out the episodes I created in Season 1 for selling your services, affiliate marketing, sponsorship and ads, and related topics. 

5:30 

What are some of the goals that I can have for my podcast?

• You can: a) create awareness for your brand; b) introduce your services; c) guest on somebody else's show and eventually sell your consultation services; d) create a Patreon membership for your listeners; or e) invite sponsors to your show.

7:00

When is the best time to try a new strategy or process for my podcast?

• You can decide per milestone. After achieving a certain goal, then you can jump to another process or strategy.

8:00

How do I create a clear Call To Action?

• Remove the confusion and strategize your funnel. Ask yourself where you would like to bring them next after having them listen to your podcast. How can they book a discovery call with you?

Show Summary: “Podcasting is a great way to generate leads because it’s underpriced. It allows you to share your message, your purpose and values, build your network and attract the target audience that you want to be partners with.”

• Brain dumping. You can record and store your knowledge on a platform where other people can benefit from. By ensuring that what you share is valuable, you can basically solve the problems of other people.
• Building a network. When people learn from you, you build trust. When they trust you, they start spreading your word, and your community forms. With the knowledge and experiences you share, you attract the right people to talk to. These people grow your community and become the people you want to serve and be partners with.

• Repurposing contents. With just one episode, you can extract different highlights and key points and recreate them into various types of content, which you can post across social media platforms.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Podcasting is a platform where you can spread your message, not only your will to sell, but also your will to change the world, and express your purpose and your business’ existence.
• Sharing your message in a platform like podcasting filters the people that come into your life and business. You attract the people who think alike, who share the same values and beliefs, and filter out the toxic ones that you don’t want to be part of your community.
• Your podcast is the perfect platform to talk to your ideal clients intimately.

Show Highlights:

0:50

In business, what are the three things you need to focus on?

• You want to focus on leads, sales, and retention.
• You don’t have something to retain if you don’t have people to sell your products to, and you won’t have sales if you don’t have leads.

4:18

What made you start The PodCash Show?

• I wanted to create a room for upcoming experiences and knowledge, while making sure that I don’t forget the things I knew before. And, I wanted to share this platform to the people who could benefit from them.

7:49

What are the things to remember when posting contents?

• Make sure that you are connected with your audience. Your profile and posts are always being shown to the people you frequently engage with.
• If you want your posts to be seen by certain people, you have to engage, connect, and build genuine relationships with them.

Episode 16 - Does Podcast Ranking Really Matter?

Episode 9 - Selling Products Through Services

"Don't focus on the rankings; focus on the content." 

Yes, The PodCASH Show ranked 20th, 18th in less than a month, even in the 2nd spot, but the question is, does it really matter?

That moment was blissful and surreal. I was ranked next to Neil Patel's Marketing School, and it made me feel that I am doing something right, and it was a very great start.

In the third month, I was out of the rankings, and the questions that popped up in my head were;

"If you're out of the chart, does it mean that you lose?"

"Is it the only measure of your success?"

"Do you have to feel sad about it?"

Listen as I answer those questions in this episode and know why I got kicked out of the charts through the important links that I'll mention.
