I've been doing my podcast for over a year now. I've been blessed with the opportunity to interview 60 amazing influencers. What a ride it's been! To recap, before starting the podcast, I never shared. My early podcast episodes were audio only and I even re-recorded myself asking questions in post-editing to sound more confident. After 30 episodes I started video live-streaming my conversations; which forced me to be more vulnerable. Now I'm 60 interviews in! Big Guests: 4 YouTubers with over 1,000,000 subscribers, 1 Instagrammer with over 1,000,000 followers, 1 LinkedIner with over 350,000 followers, 6 Podcasters with 10's of millions of downloads, 1 Author with over 400,000 email subscribers. And many many other amazing people! The combined reach of my guests is over 1 Billion! Crazy right!? I did an episode introducing the podcast. I did an update after 10 interviews, after 20 interviews, and after 30 interviews. Now... it's time for another update! If you're tuning in LIVE, be sure to ask questions! Thanks for your continued support! Sincerely, Jeremy Segalhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-segal/ https://instagram.com/whyinfluence http://eepurl.com/gAF3Ib https://whyinfluence.com/getinvolved/

Andy Storch is a friend of Jeremy whom he had met 2 years ago at PodFest. He also joined the mastermind group and now he is a talent development connector and has built a community called Talent Development Think Tank. His upcoming book will be published in September. His personal podcast The Andy Storch Show is known for starving your fears.

Andy is the host of Talent Development Hot Seat podcast where he speaks on topics about talent development and top talent trends, owning your career and life, preparing for your next career change, entrepreneurship, podcasting, and building a personal brand, getting the most out of conferences.

In this episode, Andy shared his journey from how he started a podcast and how he worked to get where he is at right now.

"And that was in 2017, I joined a mastermind group for dads run by a guy named Larry Hagner who runs the dad's edge group and podcast which is a huge podcast. And he challenged everybody in the group to set a big goal for 90 days."

This made way for Andy to make a big decision in starting a podcast. He began scheduling interviews and posting on social media for promotion. Back then, it was never really easy for Andy to conquer his confidence but on a good note, he used podcasting to meet new people and build relationships with them.

"I remember that moment when I told my wife that I couldn't believe these people were just saying yes to having conversations with me. And my wife was a former journalist, and she was like, yeah, of course, people want to promote themselves."

He has no idea that people take it as an opportunity to be invited for an interview. He mentioned that in his first years, he was figuring things out to which works best and get learnings from it. He also started to gain connections with all the effort he is pouring in to.

"I decided to focus on that niche of talent development. I started the podcast, the Talent development Hot Seat."

Andy started it in mid-2018 and his reason for starting is to have an excuse to meet high-level potential clients and he doesn't mind who will be his audience. He focused on building a relationship with them and eventually, working with them. It was through social media promotion which had a huge impact on them to reach hundreds of thousands of views.

Check out the full episode to know more about Andy's podcasting journey and learn more strategies in podcasting.

Tom Schwab is a sought-after keynote speaker and a pioneer in using inbound marketing for eCommerce. He was among the firsts to use targeted podcast interviews as the foundation piece in a content marketing strategy. He is also the author of Podcast Guest Profits. Frequently, he publishes in leading business journals, blogs, and magazines, too.

Tom is the founder and CEO of Interview Valet which is a premier white-glove concierge-level podcast guest marketing service giving the quickest method to authors, speakers, coaches, consultants, and brands to boost the advantages of podcasting. It is a platform that brings together both the podcast guest and host for six years and garnered 20, 000 interviews already. Tom has guested in over 1200 podcasts!

In this episode, Tom generously discussed four things on how they do their algorithm in finding a good podcast for guesting.

"The first one is the podcast itself. Do they have my ideal audience? Have they been around long enough?"

Tom mentioned that one of the things they look into is the foundation and credibility of the podcast—if they are a good fit for the podcast theme and its audience or not. They also want a podcast that is committed to doing a podcast because as Tom said, no one wants to be a guest in a podcast that will eventually die after.

"The second thing is podcasts, when you do a guest appearance on it, should always give you a backlink."

The purpose of backlinks is to give value in the eyes of search engines. Tom shared that they have clients that use Moz Score and Alexa Score to determine their ranking in Search Engine Results Page (SERPs) and then, adjust and do SEO.

"Third thing is how much do they promote it on social media, or to their email list."

"Finally, we look at the experience with previous clients."

There is more to learn in the full episode. Tom has shared a bunch of tips and advice on how to increase the growth of podcasts for you and your guest. You can also check out on Tom's website for more info.

David Markovich is a marketer, community builder, and consultant. He is the founder of Online Geniuses with over 25,000 members in his digital marketing community. He is also the co-founder of 18percentcommunity which is a mental health community and CoronaHub which is also an online community dedicated to confronting the massive worldwide burden caused by the Coronavirus.

As an expert in building communities, David shared some tips on how to create one and consistently grow it into a larger number. One of them is determining the right application to use for your community.

"Anything under like 200 people, I usually choose WhatsApp. I think they're getting it on their phone and their notification provides better engagement and for anything bigger, I use Slack."

According to David, WhatsApp is good for those who are just starting to create a community because the features of the application are suitable for small communities. Then, you can switch to slack when your community begins to grow bigger.

"Don't charge. Get everyone in and then, figure out what to do with monetization."

David has testified that it is a disadvantage for the growth of the community to charge them. Many people start giving charges once they had huge members in the community. One reason is to avoid spams or to filter other stuff but this is actually wrong. Giving a price will only hinder your community to grow bigger. He said that he prefers a community free of charge. He practically does other ways to prevent spams in their community and keep high-quality standards inside.

"There's a website called explodingtopics.com—and also Google Trends."

Both of them are always being compared in finding the right keywords or content topics for social media marketing and influencers. The difference between them is the process of how you will obtain a trending hot topic.

That's all for this article. Check the full episode to get more tips from David.
