"I swear we've covered this topic before. Why can't I find it?" This is the question I asked 20 minutes before I started recording today's episode. Because I knew we'd covered this topic, but I couldn't locate where.

Then, it occurred to me. We've only discussed "timely vs. evergreen" when creating content for your audience. Not when it comes to creating content.

Today's episode is a mix of recapping what we've covered on the show (and linking to those episodes in the show notes) and sharing with you what I left out of earlier episodes.

This particular episode is for you if you've heard the words timely and evergreen and have no clue what that is. And if you need a refresher on the pros and cons of these formats, you'll also learn a thing or two.

"How do you focus on selling just one product in your content without your audience getting sick of hearing the same thing over and over?" I've heard every version of this question -- multiple times -- over the last four years.

And today, I'm happy to answer it specifically for one community member (shout Amy Connell, and thanks for the question!) but also for everyone worried about selling inside their content. 

This question from the community sparked a great idea I had about covering more of the basic principles of marketing and advertising on this podcast. After listening to this episode, I hope you feel more comfortable making calls to action in your content.

So, get ready to take notes. Pull up a seat, grab your favorite beverage, and take notes on how to sell your first (or next) product inside your content.

“...many different ways that you can do social media... there's not one way that you approach it that's the “right way” to do it...” This was the start of a social media conversation during a coaching call.

In today's coaching call, I'm chatting with Monique Simmons, host of the DEMO with No Podcast, about social media strategies, podcast websites, and more.

While strategies are good to follow (even the ones we offer here), you have to apply them to your content in an objective way. In other words, not to blindly follow someone's strategy just because they said it'll work.

Listen in as we talk about social media themes and what Monique has explored when it comes to strategies you can try for your own content.

“I want to promote my business in my content, but how often is too much?” A question I asked a lot when I first started promoting my business on my podcast and YouTube channel.

In todays episode, we’re talking about the delicate balance between “not enough” and “too much” when it comes to selling in your content. I’m also sharing resources to help you get better at selling if that’s something you struggle with today.

If you’ve been wondering, “Can I sell my product on my podcast?” Yes, you can.

If you’ve asked, “Should I mention my services on my YouTube channel?” I’d tell you absolutely!

Don’t shy away from selling in your content. But first, listen to todays episode to help you think about how often to make those asks and what they can look like.

"You know enough about what you're talking about to create content and market it to your audience." This statement is my usual opening line. It's what I tell most creators that are hesitant to market their podcast or YouTube channel initially.

Today's coaching call with Aurora Aaraas isn't any different. She comes to our chat with an academic background, enthusiasm about her topic, and a willingness to learn new marketing skills -- the trifecta of success in marketing!

Throughout our conversation, you'll hear as we walk through the beginning stages of Aurora's content and how she plans to navigate content creation as a Norwegian podcaster. 

If you're an international podcaster waiting on insights into podcasting in another language, this episode peeks into some things to consider.

Step aside Facebook Ads. Move over Instagram Sponsored posts. Buzzsprout just blew the freaking lid off podcast advertising!

In today's episode, I'm breaking down Buzzsprout's newest (amazing!) feature that we've all been waiting for: Buzzsprout Ads.

This new feature allows two things that have been seemingly impossible for a lot of podcasters: 

1.  A way to monetize your podcast easily (while also shedding light on other excellent podcasts)
2. AND a way to promote your show to a captive audience of podcast listeners.

I'm breaking down why this is important for you as a podcast host -- and how you can start running ads immediately. We're also covering requirements for running promotional ads and what that looks like as a show host.

Today's episode is super juicy and full of details that'll make your mind expand and explode in the best way possible. So, join me for a download of everything you need to know about Buzzsprout Ads.

"But I don't want to dance on video!" This statement has been the loudest complaint/hesitation I've heard from people in this community not wanting to try TikTok. And I'm by no means an expert on the matter.

But that's why I invite guests to this show to share their experience and expertise with you, so I don't have to know everything! 

Today's guest, Aubree Malick, is a podcast host of the Freelance to CEO Podcast and a TikTok sensation. As a former teacher and someone with a heart for helping others, Aubree's sharing with us her journey of leaving her teaching job to become a full-time online educator.

We talk about how TikTok has contributed to her explosive growth in the last two years and cover some of the not-so-nice aspects of the business. 

If you're getting out of your comfort zone (deep in the messy middle) and want validation that you're on the right track, today's episode is just for you!

Have you ever thought, "I have a specific audience I want to reach, but I'm not completely sure where to find them. I know my people are out there, but how do I reach them..."?

We're diving into this topic during our coaching call today with Haley Peel, the host of The Empowered Adventurer Podcast. We discussed a few options for Haley to market her show and business to this specific subset of adventure enthusiasts.

We also talked about podcast guesting podcasts and thinking outside the box for your content audience. Don't shy away from expanding into new areas to find the people you want to reach.

Today's episode is great for anyone wanting some new marketing ideas for their content!

"How many times should you, or a guest on your podcast, mention their podcast during the interview?" This question from the community is what we are answering in today's episode.

One of the things I love about having a YouTube channel is the comment section. There are flattering comments, ridiculous rants, and helpful questions in the comments. Today's episode is based solely on one comment I received from an audience member.

It's one of those "If one person has this question, I bet 20 more people do too" questions. We're talking about how much you should talk about what you do in content interviews. 

If you've had "guest on more podcasts" or "get in front of a bigger audience" on your to-do list, this episode will help you balance how much you need to plug yourself and where to find the balance between too much and not enough.
