Podcast Lessons, Legacy, and Love
2024/01/29
Info (Show/Hide)
We lost Dan Miller a few weeks ago, and Dan was someone who I always walked about smarter after talking to him. I had him on the first episode of the Grow Your Community show, and today I'm replaying that episode. I also learned that Lee Silversteen who appeared on episode 539 has run out of options in regards to battling his cancer. So this episode is a bit "dark" but, well, sometimes life is dark...
The question of the month returns next week.

About Dan Miller
Dan is the author of the books 48 Days to the Work (and life) You Love , No More Dreaded Mondays , Wisdom Meets Passion , and more (check out his author page at Amazon ).
His podcast is always bursting with common sense and insights that are often missing in today's business leaders. Dan speaks the truth based on his decades of helping entrepreneurs meet their goals.
About Lee Silverstein
Lee Silverstein was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 13 years ago. He started the podcast he needed to hear when the doctor said, "You have cancer." He has inspired MULTIPLE podcasts, and his legacy will live on long after Lee. From his Facebook page, Lee recently posted:
I feel it’s time to make this official. After close to 13 years there are no more treatment options available to me.
I have begun in-home hospice service.
I’m quite comfortable and not in any pain.
I have far outlived any oncologist’s predictions and I'm grateful for that.
I’m at peace and have no regrets.
You give a podcast to a teach and they see it as a tool to help people learn.
You give a podcast to a marketer and they see it as a too tool to sell.
You give a podcast to a guy with stage 4 colon cancer, and he sees it as a tool to inspire. (and he did).

Will “Verified” Downloads Ruin Podcast Advertising?

Today I share parts of a conversation I had, but as I'm saying my negative opinion of a certain practice, I'm not saying the company, and I've replaced the actual guest with an AI-Generated voice (from 11 labs ). If you plan on paying for a service to promote your show, this is a MUST LISTEN. We also talk about Apple evaporating your downloads is a GOOD thing.
Again, the voice you hear as the "Guest" is AI generated from a transcript of the conversation.

Today I share a story where I took information I was going to publish as an episode, but put it out as a newsletter instead as I was worried it would make me look Salesy. Today I share how I found out that message really resonated with my audience, and now I'm using it here.
I also share how getting a GOOD coach can save you TONS of time and HEADACHES and that is often WAY MORE than the price you are paying.
YOU:
Avoid common mistakes Learn the shortcuts you only learn from doing If you're in a community, you get to network with or creators
All of the above can lead to less stress, and more production.

From Podcast Launch to Delivery: Unveiling Realistic Expectations for Aspiring Podcasters in 2024
2024/01/01
Info (Show/Hide)
The goal of this episode is to help you understand what makes a GOOD podcast, and help you decide if you should also be a video podcast.
As it's the beginning of the year, MANY people will be selling you on how you can quit your job with no effort, no work, and how easy it is to leave the 9 to 5. They rave at how much money you will make, after all, they are on a boat! And you will do it quickly.
I just can't do that. I want people who are fueled by passion, and understand there is a process of
Plan Launch Grow Monetize
So today we are going to first look at what makes a GOOD podcast, and then what is going on with the Podcasting space with places like YouTube and Spotify.

Making a Good Podcast
Make sure you are doing two or more of the following:
Laugh Cry Think Groan Educate Entertain
If you do NONE of these you are boring your audience. Some other items I mentioned today:
Relevence - When it comes to good content another key ingredient is relevance. When I heard the phrase ‘overwhelm” at a podcast conference FOUR TIMES I created episode 871 Overcoming Podcast Overwhelm: Three Free Tools and a Strategy.
Authenticity - Be yourself. Authenticity builds a connection with your audience. Don't be afraid to show personality and vulnerability. Don’t let Chat GPT wash your personality out of your show.
Storytelling - We love a good story. How can you make your show more entertaining? Tell a good story.
Research - State your sources when available. We want people to trust us, and when we show the work we put into the show, it can help the listener trust what they are hearing.
Rehearsal : Practice makes perfect. Rehearse your content to iron out any kinks and ensure smooth delivery.
Timeliness : Stay current. If your podcast covers time-sensitive topics, make sure to provide up-to-date information. This is one of those, "it depends" topics.

One Thing About Ratings and Reviews In Apple Podcasts
(they don't help you in the algorithm). Per Apple:
What the Apple charts measure:
Apple Podcasts Charts reflect the most popular shows and episodes available in a given market and are designed to help people discover what to listen to next. They do not reflect all-time listening records and are not a measure of the largest podcasts by listenership .
While the exact algorithm cannot be shared to protect their integrity, the charts measure a mix of the following:
Listening: When listeners are engaging with episodes, it’s an indicator of content popularity. Follows: When listeners follow a show to receive new episodes, it’s an indicator of their intent to listen. Completion Rate: When listeners complete episodes, it’s an indicator of content quality.
Ratings, reviews, and shares
Although ratings, reviews, and shares also help indicate a podcast’s newness, popularity, and quality, they are not factored into the algorithm that determines the rankings for Top Shows and Top Episodes . In other words, they may not help people find a podcast on their own, but they influence whether people will listen or follow, and those factors influence the charts.

A Podcast Is Not a Waste of Time
2023/12/11
Info (Show/Hide)
I read an article by Leslie Thompson titled, A reflection on 5 years of podcasting , and it really moved me. It points out that even if you end up ceasing to produce your podcast, the time is not waste.

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.

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.

What Makes This Great? Behind the Scenes With David Hooper
2023/11/06
Info (Show/Hide)
David Hooper published an episode where he gives the "behind the scenes" view of his interview with Dolly Parton on his Build a Big Podcast t 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.

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
2023/10/23
Info (Show/Hide)
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.

Marketing Magic: Boosting Your Podcast's Reach with Proverbs and Catch Phrases
2023/10/16
Info (Show/Hide)
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
2023/10/09
Info (Show/Hide)
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 , 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.

Unlocking the Potential of Feed Drops: Strategies for Growing Your Podcast's Audience
2023/09/25
Info (Show/Hide)
Today we are diving into the strategy of "feed drops" in podcasting. Some special guests are joining us, including York Campbell, Randy Black, and Zoe Richardson.
In this episode, we'll explore the concept of feed drops, where a show drops an episode into the feed of another show to gain new listeners. Our guests will discuss their experiences with feed drops and share their perspectives on whether it's an effective strategy.

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.

Parameters, and Perspectives, to Prepare for Proven Podcast Marketing Success
2023/09/11
Info (Show/Hide)
What works for one podcast may not work for another podcast because their audiences are different. Think of the two female singers, Adele and Pink. The are both authentic, talented singers. One tends to stand on stage, tell stories, and perform in a dress. The other does gymnastics that include floating around the entire outside stadium. Could you see Adele flying around a stadium?
Instead, know your "WHY" and your "WHO" so you can figure out your WHAT and deliver it authentically in a way that doesn't bore your audience.
Plus, we'll tackle the ever-elusive topic of measuring success. I'll reveal the strategies and tools I use to track traffic and engagement and the importance of creating engaging content that keeps listeners coming back for more.
Tools To Use To Help You Identify What Works With Your Podcast
Instead of just linking to your website, you can add UTM parameters (this isn't as geeky as it sounds). A UTM is Urchin Traffic Monitor (we really don't care). These parameters can be thought of as leaving a breadcrumb so that when you check Google Analytics you can see where the audience specially came from. I'm currently using Fathom Stats , which are not free but are easier to read and a bit more privacy-focused.
Add UTMs to a Link using the Google UTM Creator
the Google Analytics Campaign URL Builder for generating URLs to websites the Google Play URL Builder for generating URLs to apps on the Google Play Store the iOS Campaign Tracking URL Builder for generating URLs to apps on the Apple App Store
There are parameters you can add that will be seen in your Google Analytics. I have been using Fathom stats as they are easier to understand (it's not free, but I prefer checking out my stats without the frustration of digging through Google Analytics).
Why I Like Switchy
Switchy is a tool that is currently available for a lifetime deal on App Summo. Not only does this create easy-to-remember links like www.supportthisshow.com/q2u (which is my affiliate link for the Samson Q2U microphone), but it creates trackable QR codes, and the ability to set UTM parameters and save them as a template.
When You Can See What Works, You Can QUit Doing Those Actions That Don't
For a while I was putting videos on twitch (primarily known for gaming) and I just didn't any reaction (so I quit wasting my time for now).
I have videos and screenshots at www.schoolofpodcasting.com/896

Participants and Efficiency Tips
Scott from What Was That Like is speeding up editing using keyboard shortcuts and a Red Dragon M908 Gaming Mouse (aff)
Craig from Live Well and Flourish is speeding up editing by using iZotope plugins . I use Dialogue Enhance 2 .
Jill from Fit Stong Women Over 50 eliminates editing by doing more research for your interviews.
Branden uses the sound pads on the Zoom Podtrak P4 to help identify edit marks (he assigned tones from Audacity to the pads)
Karin from Just Grow Something uses templates where she adds all of the files she uses for her show and saves it as a template. Then opens the template and chooses "Save As," and gives it a new name (so the blank version of the episode stays blank).
Kim from the Pharmacists Voice also uses Templates for her audio, her images (using Canva ), and anything else.
Jim from Home Gadget Geeks ensures any online tools (like auphonic ) he uses take advantage of any integrations. Tools like Active Pieces and Zapier can tie two products together.
Mark Vinet from the History of North America and Historical Jesu s batch records.
Steve Steward from the Podcast Editors Academy and his own Editing Service uses two monitors, which speed things up and make things less stressful.
Tips To Speed Up Your Podcast From Dave
Use the playback speed option in Audacity. It will make people sound like chipmunks, but every little bit helps.
Use Text Expander to create templates or anything you type over and over (Libsyn.com has a snippets feature as does Captivate, which has episode defaults (templates).
Podpage is a set-it-and-forget-it website tool. You create an episode, and it just appears on your website. You can learn Podpage for Free . Podpage also has an episode signature at the bottom of every episode on your site.
A Transcription service like Otter or any AI Transcription tools can be used for editing.
I use Evernote to organize my thoughts to avoid wasting time looking for things. A cheap alternative to Notedex .
Use a calendar scheduling tool like Acuity Scheduling , Tidycal (although it's having an issue), or Calendly . Using these tools takes the stress out of scheduling guests.
I Use Brandy to manage my Press kit .
Use your audience , who often have time, treasure, and talent, to help you with your show.
Pin a folder to the left navigation in Windows Explorer and the Finder on a Mac so you don't have to dig down to get to the folder.
Pay someone to do your editing.

It's Not As Hard As You Think
I just returned from speaking at the 40th high school reunion, where they asked me to speak. Speaking always makes me nervous, but due to this talk NOT being about podcasting, I was REALLY Nervous.
I followed my own advice and figured out who I was talking to, and what the goal of the talk was (point out that we survived), and then I found people to give me honest feedback before I had to deliver it. It worked. I got a fair amount of compliments.
The stress and hand shaking worry was not needed. I had done my homework. So I'm here to tell you from the other side, that the worry is more than likely not necessary (I know, easier said than done).
Spotify Video Experiment So Far
while I received hundreds of downloads of the audio of the ASk the Podcast show, and a decent amount of video views on YouTube. I have not received a single play on Spotify. Granted I have not promoted it (I promote my Youtube Channel) . I wanted to see what kind of organic traffic Spotify would bring. So far I haven't received any. I do have a niche show, but I wanted you to know.

Pinterest? Really? Repurposing Content To Increase Your Reach and Exposure with Jeff Sieh
2023/08/14

Jeff Sieh , a man wearing many hats, found himself in the heart of the digital world, not by chance but by curiosity and sheer determination. His journey wasn't a straight line. Jeff kept evolving from dabbling in corporate video production and website building to exploring social media. During one of these explorations, he stumbled upon Pinterest on a podcast. Hearing about the surge of traffic it brought to a blog stirred his interest. His first foray into Pinterest was a blog post, Manly Pinterest Tips #1, that resonated among the masses. That's when he realized the potential of Pinterest, not just as another social platform but as a visual search engine.

Unleash Your True Potential: Finding Your Voice and Unlocking Inner Power
2023/08/07
Info (Show/Hide)
One of the things podcasters say is “find your voice” without knowing that it’s Jargon. After all, is my voice lost? What does that mean? Today we will look at finding your voice, and I will tell you what the difference is to the listener. Because the interesting thing is your voice isn’t lost. It’s just got a lot of clutter on top of it.

What Does Finding Your Voice Mean?
You start your podcast (congrats!), and you feel uncomfortable. You feel out of place, and people say, "You need to find your voice." That is a really vague instruction.
Steps to Finding Your Voice
I mention this in almost every episode. It starts with specifically knowing your WHY and Your WHO.
The more information you have on each, the clearer the target. It is the blurryness and fuzziness vision of your show that leads to insecurity.
Who Are You and Who Aren't You?
What do you believe in? What are your values? By defining what you will and will NOT talk about help clear the path for your content.
The Netflix show House of Cards had a scene where the main character kills a dog in the first scene. This was on purpose, as they knew this would upset people. They thought, "Well, we might as well draw a line in the sand and offend people upfront. If they couldn't take the first episode, they would NEVER tolerate what else was coming in the remainder episodes.
Get Comfortable Through Practice
Think back to all the firsts in your life. The first step, first tricycle, bicycle, first kiss are things we weren’t good at when we started. So do it again, and again with the goal of improving with each version of your episodes getting better.
Acknowledge That This Will be Uncomfortable
When you feel yourself wanting to pull away or come back to it later, push through. If you’ve ever been through counseling of any sort (single, couples, etc) it is uncomfortable. However, you come out better on the other side. I dread getting on a treadmill but never regret getting off. So when you feel that uncomfortable feeling come upon you (and it will) embrace it. You're learning. You are growing. You are improving.
Not Everyone Will Like You, and That is OK
Life is not a popularity contest. That is one that is easy to say, but not always easy to live. As with everything, the more you practice it, the better you will get at it. So when you get your first one star review realize that the listener was not your target audience.
Follow Your Gut
There is only one of you. You are 100% unique so embrace that. Every night there are multiple stations covering the same topics. There are different strokes for different folks. Being you is very easy for you. When you try to be something you're not, it's very hard to pull off and often robs you of your passion.
Double Check the Facts In Your Head Saying Negative Things
Brenda was trying to prove herself to an invisible audience. She had assumed they wanted her to skim over a broad topic. When she got her episode in front of ACTUAL people she found they would rather go deep into a narrow topic.
In The End Be Yourself
In the end you've had an entire lifetime being you. Relax and embrace your uniqueness. Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, and Rod Stewart have unique voices. You either love them or hate them. Their uniqueness has enabled them to have careers spanning multiple decades.

Are You Primarily Audio or Video? Three Ways Your Show May Be Frustrating Your Audience
2023/07/31
Info (Show/Hide)
Are you audio or video first? If you want to ride the "Record the video, strip out the audio, cut the video into shorts, transcribe the audio, and become a millionaire" train, there are some things to remember.
Your Legacy
I saw someone today that I had not seen in at least 31 years and probably more. The last time I saw him he was a little boy who acted like a little boy. He didn't pay attention; he was hyperactive and always running around and made the job of his Sunday School teacher so hard that she went home and cried. That woman was my Mom. I was probably 11 when I later pinned this you boy who was probably 8, against the wall and said, "If you make my Mom cry again, I'll kill you." Let's call him Roy.
Well, Roy walked into my church today, and he's probably 6' 4" and toward over me. After service, he laughed and recounted the pinning on the wall story, and he said he had taken some wrong turns in life, but all those lessons my Mom had taught him got him to turn around and get on the right path. Those lessons were probably close to 50 years ago. My Mom has been gone 34 years, and today part of her legacy walked in and shook my hand. He wanted to let me know just how special my Mom was (something I was well aware of). So when you put your words out into a podcast, you don't know who or how your words will affect people. If you have a message that needs to be heard, it's not helping people sitting on your hard drive. Get it out into the world. Start building your legacy. I can help.
With Hollywood on Strike, Is Now the Best Time To Start a Podcast?
With both the writers and actors on strike, new content will not be coming to our screens. We have no idea how long this will go on.
In a graph on the Podcast Business Journal's site , James Cridland has some interesting podcasting stats, and you can see that on April 12, 2023, there were 383,996 active podcasts. Fast forward to July and that number is down by 13.4% to 335,930. Meanwhile, every survey that comes out says podcast listenership is going up. A recent study on Australia has monthly listeners going up by 7% and weekly listening went up 24% (26 to 33 million).
So if listening is going up, and content creation is going down, that means (in theory) that those who start or continue to make content have a better chance of being found due to the lack of competition while the audience continues to go. I can help.

If you want your audience to get frustrated, talk about something on your show, and then don't put a link to it. I recently did this on my Ask the Podcast Coach, and luckily the person who was nice enough to contact me was very nice, but it can make it appear that you don't care about the user. Some things are perceived as basic and expected. A few episodes ago, I talked about a video service that I eventually canceled and got a refund. Why, there was something I thought was basic and should be included, and they wanted me to edit some code.

Turning Your YouTube Content Into a Podcast
I listened to a show this morning, and the host said, "I'm talking about three products today, and for you to get the most out of this, you should hop on over to the YouTube version. It will be much more beneficial for you over there. He then went on to say phrases like, "You'll be here on the left" and "Just click on search" right here. At this point, even with the disclaimer I felt like this guy was going to waste my time (and for the most part, he did).
So when I went to click on the link to his YouTube channel, you guessed it - no link in the show notes.
So you might want to refer to your episode as "the show" instead of podcast or video. Keep it generic. I occasionally share my screen on a live stream I do every Saturday. When I do, I try to make a concerted effort to

Trying to Move Forward?
Behavioral scientists in Great Britain did another study of a couple 100 people who wanted to start exercising they divided the people into three groups.
The first group committed to exercising.
The second group committed to exercising and reading lots of material on the benefits of exercising.
The third group committed to exercising and chose the day, time, and place when they would do it.
Only 36% of the people in those first two groups kept their commitment.
But 91% of the people in the third group kept their commitment.

Podcasting Turns 20 - Why This Medium is Unstoppable!
2023/07/17
Info (Show/Hide)
Podcasting turned 20 years old this month, and after hearing James Cridland interview the very first person to produce a podcast (Christopher Lydon) it got me thinking about the early "Middle Finger to the Radio Industry" start of podcasting (and sadly, we seem to repeat history).
There is a study of 1200 podcasters who shared their why and how they podcast, and I share some additional insights. Some of them are not popular, but they are true (from my desk).

A Great Microphone For Solo Podcasters and Professional Podcast Guests

The Knee Jerk Reaction to Podcast Ads May Be Missing Other Opportunities
I've heard the average host-read ad in a podcast pays about $25 per 1000 downloads. Less than 10% have the needed 10,000 downloads per episode to get a "big sponsor." In some cases, they may have enough for ads that pay anywhere from $3.85 - $7 CPM (boo!).
On Ask the Podcast Coach , I mentioned Switchy ( A link tracker and more) from App Summo (where it's a one-time payment for life). I earned $17.20. Obviously, I'm not going to retire on that, but the show doesn't have a huge audience. When I calculated the CPM, it was $34. So, if you're getting $5 CPM with your programmatic ads, you might want to mix in an affiliate that truly fits your audience. (and buy my book Profit From Your Podcast: Proven Strategies That Turn Listeners into a Livelihood )
For People Looking to Guest On Podcasts (and not start a show), the new Rode PodMic USB is a great choice.
The mic is both USB and XLR, so if you later want to plug it into an interface like a Rodecaster Duo , you can.
It comes with a sturdy pop filter (the original PodMic was east to "pop."
Its all-back design is cool.
You can use software that has Aphex processing and tweak the sound of your microphone and then SAVE THAT SOUND into the microphone. So when you plug it in via USB, you're sound is right where you left it.
It works with Rode's Capture app, so if you want to record directly to your phone, you can. (I had to use a USB C to Lightning Cable ). Likewise, if your computer doesn't have a USB C input, you'll need a USB to USB C Connector .
The bottom line is for around $200 you end up with a single-channel roadcaster.
The Negatives
While this microphone is obviously meant to be on a stand, when I had it on a boom arm it was very sensitive to any kind of tapping on the desk, etc. So, don't touch the mic or anything when recording.
At $200, it is more than double something like a Samson Q2u or ATR2100X , but those don't have the Aphex processing.
Don't Fear the Feedback
I recently created a video sales for the School of Podcasting. I went to my newsletter and asked them to "Talk about it like I wasn't in the room." As I started implementing the suggestions, more came in (so looking back, you might want to wait or give a deadline) as I ended up making seven different versions before I loaded on the final (for now) version.
It all was great feedback, and I see people time and time again release their first episode without getting any feedback. What is the point of releasing something that is not going to impact the audience the way you want them to?

Does your podcast description fit only YOUR show? - in 10 Words or less
2023/06/26
Info (Show/Hide)
This episode is based on an exercise from the book, Make Noise: A Creator's Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling (also available on Audible ), where you have to describe your show in a way that can't be used by other shows, and you can use any of these words . The idea is that instead of using the word "Awesome," explain WHY it's awesome. It's hard, but in the end, it leads you to ponder what makes your show. The book is from Eric Nuzum, who appears in episode 708 .

Everyone has their own workflow. Here is mine:
Write out what I'm trying to say. Record using the Google doc as a reference. As I'm recording/talking I know what the next paragraph is so I often will expand on the paragraph as I want to tell a story or elaborate on the concept. Previously I would boil down the document to bullet points, but found I have to do less editing, If I write out the main points, and the expand on those points when I record
Dual Voices In This Episode
So you can hear when I go off script, when I am off script I will be louder on one side of your headphones. Some of this is good as I expand on the point off of the documents. Other times, I'm taking tangents that normally would've been deleted.
Don't Go Back to the Beginning
Some people when they make a mistake will go back to the very beginning of the episode. You don't need to do this. Go back slightly until you see a good spot to jump in. Talking along with yourself and press the record button. When you get to a good stopping spot, go back and make sure that it sounds natural
Relax, It's Not Live
I know it's weird to talk to yourself, so think of that one person who needs to hear your content. If you mess up on a solo show, it's no sweat. There are no re-interviews to schedule. Just go back and fix your mistake.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Even in my early days at the School of Podcasting, while there are things that could be improved for a new podcaster, I felt I had the "talk to your invisible friend" part down. This might be because I often had to entertain myself. I played with audio tools like cassette decks and reel-to-reel tape machines when I was very young. I started and still keep a journal. I'm a musician and have been on stage since I was 15, and I did daily presentations as a teacher for decades. There is no replacement for experience. This doesn't mean it will take you 40 years to sound good, but it will take more than 40 minutes. Just start recording yourself and practice getting words out of your brain, out of your mouth, and into a recording. Then delete it.

Sharing Podcast Launch Numbers
2023/05/22
Info (Show/Hide)
I get the "Is this good?" question when people first see their numbers. I'm going to share the launch numbers of two shows I did that got a "mild send off" and the shows are growing.
Before we get into stats, we need to understand that downloads are just ONE WAY to measure your success. I know our ego is involved but the problem with comparing your podcast stats with others is: Podcasting is a lot like golf or bowling or any other sport that you do against yourself. I'm not saying there is no competition (often much less than you think) but we don't know what we are truly up against. Instead of starring at your competition and getting angry, stare at your audience to help give them what they want.
Know Why You're Doing Your Podcast
For the School of Podcasting, my goals are to inspire you to start a podcast, go in the right direction with realistic expectations, and help you achieve your goals. How do we do that? By having you join my membership site and that is the biggest way I measure my show.
Michael O'Neil was nice enough to take a picture of my book Profit from your podcast: Proven strategies to turn your listeners into a livelihood in a Fed-ex store (picture on the website). The goal of that podcast is to inform people with monetization strategies that make them buy the book.
We All Go All In on the Podcast Launch
When we launch we tell everyone we know (family friends, co-workers, email lists, etc) and we might continue that for a few weeks until we realize that growth is slow. At first, you might jump 10-20% (but that's easy when your first episode had 15 downloads and the next one had 18).

Katie Krimitsos and The Power of Pivoting: Building the Women's Meditation Network
2023/05/15
Info (Show/Hide)
Today we explore the factors that contribute to a successful podcast strategy, including getting featured on podcast players and paid advertising efforts. We hear the inspiring journey of Katie, Krimitsos who created the Women's Meditation Network after feeling disinterested in her previous business and finding a lacking market for women and meditation.
We learn about the importance of just starting, experimenting, and having fun, as well as curating content for listeners. Katie shares her experience with advertising and maximizing revenue while engineering her pre-roll to not upset listeners. We dive into the uniqueness of her meditations and the focus on improving the content to create an audio experience that touches the listener's soul.
Finally, we explore Katie's stickler for priorities and energy management, strategizing her business projects, and streamlining her energy to bring on more one-on-one clients.

LISTENNOTES INFORMATION
What is Listennotes.com Global Rank?
This podcast is one of the top 0.5% most popular shows out of 3,100,277 podcasts globally, ranked by Listen Score (the estimated popularity score).
According to their site:
* Other websites / apps may claim that they have way more than 3,100,277 podcasts in their database. This is because they inflate the number by including A LOT of 1) podcasts that were already deleted long time ago; 2) super low-quality podcasts (e.g., no episodes at all, only one 10-second episode in the RSS feed for testing, or machine-generated audio); 3) non-audio contents distributed via rss (e.g., RSS feeds with only PDF files, not audio). On the other hand, we deploy automatic scripts (24/7) and human moderators (daily) to clean up data. We try our best to minimize the number of such bad "podcasts" in our database.
I still find it interesting that my friend's show which had its last real episode in 2015, has a ranking of 42 out of 100, and is in the top 1.5%
So I'm still a little blurry on how those stats are calculated..

Apple's Advice for Growing Your Podcast
2023/05/01
Info (Show/Hide)
I looked for a new podcast and never really found what I wanted (a daily motivation podcast of 5 minutes or less). What I did find as I search floored me in some cases. I thought, "Are people still doing/saying that?" I did some research on some subjects and found out some things as well.

Podcasting Is "Too Crowded," and Someone Is Already Doing a Podcast Like Yours
When you look at Podcastindex.org, you will see (today) 4,088,299 and only 253,396 have produced an episode in the last ten days (6%) and that only goes up to 13% if you include the 523,942 shows that produced an episode in the last 90 days.
Time and time again, I found a podcast that I thought would fit my criteria, but they either had 2 episodes (and quit) or had many episodes but quit in 2021. So if you see a large number of podcasts in the genre you are looking to be in when you launch, it may not be as crowded as you think. Many of the dead shows are from Spotify for Podcasters users (formerly Anchor) who "tried podcasting" and then quit (and being a free service, the files have not been removed).
Horrible Episode Titles
This would be a horrible example of an episode title for the episode:
Episode 878 Dave Jackson School of Podcasting
If you must use episode numbers, I recommend putting them at the end of the name.
When I look at Tim Ferris' show, he has extremely long episode titles, and when you first look at his show (where you can see all the episode titles), they seem to get cut off after 167 words.
I've heard other people recommend 60-80 characters for your title, and that goes against
Unhelpful Artwork
I see people who put a microphone on artwork about mental health. This would be like putting a camera on every movie poster. It's not needed, as is the word "Podcast" in your title. Does your artwork help people know what your show is about before they hear it?
Rating and Reviews Nonsense
From Apple's website:
Although ratings, reviews, and shares also help indicate a podcast’s newness, popularity, and quality, they are not factored into the algorithm that determines the rankings for Top Shows and Top Episodes. In other words, they may not help people find a podcast on their own, but they influence whether people will listen or follow , and those factors influence the charts. -source
Poor Descriptions
Again from Apple:
Your description should tell listeners what kind of content you talk about and explain how people can benefit from listening. If you need a little help, think about how you can convey the problem you’re trying to solve in a way that convinces listeners they should care. -source
Guests With Really Bad Audio
I get it when it's an A-list guest, but with anybody else, you need to keep in mind it is YOUR show and YOUR brand that takes the hit. See this episode .

How to Deal with a Crowded Podcast Genre Full of Competition
2023/04/03
Info (Show/Hide)
Deirdre Tshien CEO and co-founder of Capsho , recently discussed the mental process of dealing with competition. She explains that Capsho is an AI-powered podcast content writer, created to help Podcaster organically grow their show. Additionally, she talks about the new updates in CapSho 2.0, which allows users to have more control over their content, such as being able to drag and drop blocks into their descriptions.
In Today's Discussion
Always double-check and ensure anything that appears to be "competition" actually is (cause it may not be. Ensure you are solving a problem your audience has by keeping in touch with them and, above all, listen . How Capsho 2.0 puts the reigns of control back into the podcaster's hand through HumAIne controls How pushing through the urge to quit can result in new success (notice Deirdre said it was her third time of making the other with her coaching business How creating amazing content for your listeners can leave them feeling in debited to you (which inspires them to purchase your products). Why every coach should have their own podcast.
With the Closing of Volley, I'm Moving to Zip Message
I was a big fan of the Volley app except for one thing: it s was free. Eventually, they added additional features that you had to pay for, but in my opinion, they had so many great features in their free version that there wasn't enough motivation to upgrade(although "keeping them in business" should've been motivation enough).
So I'm replacing Volley with Zip Message , which I feel is the closest Volley Alternative at the moment. Here is a quick video .

There is a giant button at the top of your listing in Apple labeled LISTEN. When someone clicks it whatever comes out is going to shape their first impression, and it will influence how long they let this play. I listened to podcasts for 14 hours in the car this weekend as I drove to a speaking gig in Nashville. Bad audio is becoming more and more apparent in this space (especially for "indies" and I thought I would help us understand what it sounds like and what tools are available to help fix it.

Overcoming Overwhelm: Three Free Tools and a Strategy
2023/03/20
Info (Show/Hide)
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed in today’s world. With so many tasks to juggle and responsibilities to manage, staying focused and keeping up with everything can be hard. It’s important to know that you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed and that there are tools and strategies to help you never feel overwhelmed again.
Click to Tweet
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. What is the strategy to manage overwhelm and increase productivity?
2. What three tools are necessary to organize and increase productivity (that are free)?
3. What is the best way to decide which tasks to prioritize when feeling overwhelmed?
What is Overwehlm?
So, what is overwhelm? Overwhelm is when you have a feeling of being completely inundated or overburdened. It’s often accompanied by a feeling of being unable to cope or process anything that’s going on. I know I’ve felt this way before, especially when I was in my 20s and had to juggle school, work, and taking care of my family. I felt like I was running out of time and didn’t have a choice but to keep going.
Things to Keep In Mind
Your podcast doesn't have to be forever. You don't have an audience when you start. You do NOT have to do a video version of your show. You don't have to make money with your show.
Three Free Tools to Help With Overwhelm
Evernote - A great place to store ideas you don't want to forget. You can even forward things like email to an address and it will be added to Evernote. There is a free version and the first paid version starts at $11/month.
Todoist - For items, you need to do. You can easily add items from Gmail, setup recurring tasks, prioritize, share with a team, and more. There is a free version with the paid version starting at $5/month.
Google Calendar - There are many calendar tools for you to keep up and organize your appointments. If you want to book guests, Calendly has a free plan as goes Acuity Scheduling . If you want a "lifetime payment," TidyCal enables you to charge for your time (as do the other two).
Now when someone connects you via email or social you can decide to:
Delete it - trash it.
Save it - Evernote
Schedule it - Add it to your calendar
Decide to do it - Add it to your todo list.
By using these tools and strategies, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed and stay focused on the tasks that are most important. Remember, you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed and there are tools and strategies to help you manage your stress and never feel overwhelmed again.
Strategy to Avoid Overwhelm
1. Do a brain dump and write everything down so your brain doesn't need to remember everything.
2. Get organized and direct incoming information to the proper location.
3. Try "Not Now" instead of "No" (if it makes you feel better).
4. Set boundaries and a "rope off time" for you to be focused and knock out the work that needs to be done."
5. Break large projects into small, achievable chunks.
6. Realize that creating a podcast is easy, but creating a good podcast takes time, effort, and determination. Set your podcast schedule based on your lifestyle . Don't try to squeeze your lifestyle into your podcast.

While services Like Mailerlite , Convertkit , Aweber , SendFox , and many others will make it easy to enter your podcast RSS feed, and it will take your episode description and convert it to an email. Aside from James, who works some technical voodoo (he's a programmer), none of the participants used the "RSS to Email" tools.
They had developed their own format, topics, etc, and wrote them from scratch or copied and pasted their content in an effort to repurpose it.

Will People Listen to Your Podcast If You Have an Accent?
2023/02/27
Info (Show/Hide)
Recording a podcast with an accent can be both intimidating and exciting. If English is your second language (ESL), you may feel nervous about speaking in front of a microphone; however, the ability to reach a worldwide audience is exciting. Today we answer a question from Jacob from the Old Men New Games wants to know if a host has English as a second language (and might mess up a word every now and then). Is that a “No Go, Instant Tune Out” for you?
I think this boils down to accents. My audience shares their thoughts.

The Top 8 Podcasting Pet Peeves (2023) That Make People Leave Your Show

Info (Show/Hide)
In December, we looked at why some podcasts become part of the listener's routine (and their favorite podcast ) today; we are looking at the other end.
Share your feedback via the Survey 865
When it comes to podcasts, the goal of any podcast creator is to captivate their audience and keep them engaged. However, there are many reasons why listeners may choose to unfollow or unsubscribe from a podcast. In this episode, we will explore what makes listeners tune out of a podcast and how podcast creators can avoid these pitfalls. We will look at common issues such as poor audio quality and how extended chit-chat at the beginning may be causing people to tune out.

Six Reasons Your Podcast Isn't Growing.
2023/01/31

YOUR PODCAST DESCRIPTION
While every show is different, and thus, every description is different there are some items you may want to include:
Get Them Saying Yes
By stating an obvious truth, you show that you "Get" your audience and get them saying, "yes."
Frequency, Format, and Facts
This can be your schedule (Frequency).
Your format (solo, interview, panel, narrative).
Facts: Accomplishments of the host to establish street cred and answer, "Why should we listen to you?"
Who is This For?
By specifically identifying who the show is for, you better attract your target audience.
Why Should They Listen?
What value and/or what benefit is the listener going to walk away with?
Call to Action
Your call to action in your description (as this will be seen in all the apps) should be to play or, even better, follow/subscribe. Regarding asking them to go to your website or other calls to action, do those in episodes AFTER they start listening.
YOU DON'T BENEFIT UNTIL YOUR AUDIENCE BENEFITS.
Other Options
Some people like to start of with a question.
THE FORMAT OF MY DESCRIPTION IS OFF
This is another reason to keep your description short. The more paragraphs you want and bold, italics, etc it is going to look weird. In most apps, the description is simple text. If you do include links, they won't work.
All you can do it enter things the right way and hope for the best.

How Asking Two Questions Saved Me $1500
2023/01/16
Info (Show/Hide)
When it comes to making purchases, we are often faced with a conflict between our emotional and logical sides. How we balance these two competing forces can determine our success or failure when it comes to spending. I had my wallet out, ready to spend almost $1500, and today I share how I identified my emotional and logical sides in the conflict and used logic to save my money for something better.
My Video Progression
I started with a Logitech C920 and upgraded to the Elgato Facecam.
The Facecam had a better picture and NO MICROPHONE (so no accidental recordings using the camera microphone).
I later I upgraded to the Sony VZ-1. Why?
Because YouTube told me that this was THE best camera for the new YouTuber/Content creator. Also, it had a button that MADE THE BACKGROUND BLURRY. I'm not making that up.
With the press of ONE button, the background would be BLURRY. OMG!
So I had to get it even though it was $900. I bought it on a payment plan but avoided paying any interest.
A little over a year the Sony ZV-10 came out, and not only did it have the one-button blurry mode, but you could also CHANGE LENSES. Again, YouTube erupted, letting me know that THIS, yes, THIS was THE camera.
I was THIS CLOSE to buying this camera, and then I saw another video because as I could switch lenses, I had to figure out what was the best lens. The one lens that made the Youtube host just look dreamy cost $400.
Wait, does that say $400? So $800 for the camera and $400 for the lens is $1200, but the other lens, and this and that.
QUESTION 1: Do I NEED this, or do I WANT THIS?
I thought about it. What happens if I didn't buy this camera? Were my videos on YouTube suffering? After all, I've been making videos for years without a blurry background and I have attracted 3000 subscribers. So apparently, you do not NEED a Blurry background.
QUESTION 2: Who does this benefit and how?
Does this benefit your or our audience, and if so, how?
Well, as I already had the ability to blur my background, there only perc was the ability to switch lenses.
Have I run into something where I wanted to change lenses and couldn't? No. Then why am I buying it? Is it easier to use? Slightly, but you will still need to unplug and replug in the cable, which frustrates me.
So I'm going to spend $1400 to pay for a feature that I will not need. With that, I put my credit card back in my wallet.
BE CAREFUL PAYING FOR FLEXIBLE FEATURES YOU CAN GROW INTO
I once signed a year-long contract with Vidyard. Why? Because it had TONS of features that I MIGHT use. After all, I could see how far people watched my video.
What was I trying to do? Make video messages I could email to my students and clients.
It turned it this would do it, but I found their interface clunky, and when I found a way to really use it, they wanted me to upgrade.
After my contract was over, I found LOOM, and it does exactly what I need it to do for a FRACTION of the cost.
Don't spend money on features you will never use.
OTHER ITEMS THAT HELPED
I've never had someone tell me, "You have to watch this video; the background is BLURRY."
HAVE YOU FALLEN INTO THE TRAP?
Maybe instead of spending so much TIME concentrating on your background, MAYBE we should focus more on what you are saying in the microphone.
WHY PEOPLE UPGRADE MICROPHONES AND VIDEO ITEMS
I understand that sometimes we don't feel confident with our voice, but in many cases upgrading from one microphone to another doesn't make that much difference (especially once you get over $100). But I understand that if you would feel more confident behind the microphone if you like your voice, it may be worth the upgrade. Just realize this:
Unless your microphone and sound is HORRIBLE, getting a new microphone won't grow your offense. Your content will. Now, if your content is noticeably better because you are more confident, then maybe it's worth the money.
CONCLUSION AND BONUS QUESTIONS
1. Is this a WANT or a NEED?
2. Who benefits from this purchase?
3. (bonus) What happens if you don't make this purchase (this helps identify if you need this or want it).
4. Are the features of the product something you WILL put into practice?
WHY I AM STILL NOT A FAN OR ANCHOR.FM
In the past Anchor.fm would submit your show to Apple, Google, and Sticher "For you" and "Forgot" to mention that you would lose access to stats on those platforms (oops!). I could go on for hours, but why I wanted to bring this up is they don't do this anymore. Does this mean I now recommend them? No.
Why? Well, here are some old and new reasons.
1. They are still free, and MANY free media hosts have gone out of business (some after burning through MILLIONS of dollars). So I don't want to build my show on something that is just using a bad business model.
2. If you upload an mp3 file and use their advertising tools, they change their file to an m4a. This makes no sense as Spotify only uses mp3 files from other hosts.
3. They sometimes leave out details when they announce things.
Example: You can play money in your podcast (that they approve, and only in Spotify, and only in the app, and only to paid users).
Example: VIdeos have come to Spotify (that you have to upload via Anchor, that only displays the video on Spotify, and only in the app).
Example: According to the Co-creator of How to save the planet (a Gimlet show) said, "Spotify invested zero in building the show’s audience, then forced us to go exclusive to Spotify, and then canceled it b/c it didn’t build a big enough audience…” she tweeted on Saturday. source
Example: Multiple people in an Anchor.fm user group have mentioned that even though Spotify mentions, as soon as you reach a level, you will have sponsors. These people have met the criteria and have no sponsors (one has 275,000 downloads and still has no sponsor).
4. You have to ASK for an RSS feed.
This is like going to a restaurant and having to request food. Shouldn't you have that already?
Spotify (who owns Anchor) wants you to stay in their "Walled garden." When you look at their marketing material or hear any of the presentations that paint themselves as ABSOLUTE NUMBER 1, and they are THE COOL KIDS. When they are #2 to Apple by a LARGE margin, here again, they prey on the uninformed.
The co-founder of Anchor has said that RSS (the technology that Podcasts use and keep it open) is holding Podcasting back - while the actual spec of RSS is being updated AS YOU READ THIS.
PODCASTING FOR FREE MAY BE UNREALISTIC
I get that you want to podcast without breaking the bank. I understand that. When you try to do it without spending ANY money, your expectations may be in need of an adjustment.

Four Easy Strategies To Get Your Podcast Unstuck and Really Get it Growing Again
2023/01/09
Info (Show/Hide)
Are you looking to grow your podcast? You’ve come to the right place! This episode shares how to get your podcast unstuck and find success. Whether you’re just starting out or have been podcasting for a while, the tips shared here will help you get your audience clicking with your content. We’ll provide guidance on finding and following effective strategies for growing your podcast.
Weight Loss and Podcasting
Instead of focusing on the goal of "I need to lose 40 lbs" focus on the actions that lead to weight loss. Starring at the scale won't make it move, and starring at your stats doesn't make them move easier.
What Do We Want Our Audience To Do?
When I thought about what we want our audience to do that leads to more podcast growth, it came down to these:
FIND: We need our audience to find us. To be easily found we need to know what they are looking for and word it in a way they will use. CLICK: We need our audience to click on our listing, click on our titles, click on play and click follow. FOLLOW: When your audience follows/subscribes to your show you are becoming part of their routine. Make it EASY to follow you SHARE: We want our audience to share the show with their friends. According to Jacobs media 70% of new listeners discover a podcast from their friends.
Your Show Is An Experiment
Yes we would love to get our show perfect from episode one going forward. I didn't follow my own advice (and didn't get any other opinions) and named one of my shows (about the future of podcasting) "Leading the Bleeding" (as we talk about the bleeding edge of podcasting). I named another "test" show Podcast Rodeo Show (I bet you don't think its full of podcasting tips - it is). If you have to explain your show title - your might regret it later.
FIND MY SHOW
MY NAME TEST
When I say to someone, "I'm doing a show called ______. What do you think it's about?" and they guess correctly, I've got a good name (Especially if there are some keywords in the name).
I see people put the name of their show asonegiantword and I'm pretty sure your audience isn't going to type that in.
If you want to be found by Goolge, you need a website. Check out www.trypodpage.com to make a site with Podpage, and to learn podpage, see www.learnpodpage.com
GET YOUR AUDIENCE TO CLICK
Here are some things that get people to click on your show:
The name of the show. The name of the episodes The artwork An easy to find play button on your website
FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE
Search in podcast apps is getting better, but nothing beats having follow/subscribe buttons on your website. This way, when you tell people to go to your website on the special page made to follow and subscribe, it makes it easy; they don't have to "Find you," and you are reinforcing your brand.
There is a great plugin, Social subscribe and follow , that makes it easy to add subscribe buttons to your WordPress Website.
Here is my Follow Page , and Subscribe page .
SHARE THE SHOW
When your audience shares your content with their friends, you have a decent chance of getting a new listener. At Christmas, EVERYBODY was talking about the show Yellowstone. Consequently, I came home and started watching.
You do need to work on your pitch in a way that makes people want to go listen. You should practice this. When someone asks, "So, what is your show about?" they should hear a response that is um, well, kind like, um, you know, um.....
There are some cool plugins for WordPress like Novashare , Social Snap , the Monarch
USE THESE CRITERIA FOR MAKING A DECISIONS
I worked with someone who had named their show DCBN Lifestyle. When I asked (cause they didn't explain it in the show) what it stood for it was, "Don't cook bacon naked" which made me laugh. Which one would be found easier? DCBN or Don't cook bacon naked. The audience doesn't know you've abbreviated the title and if they can't find you they will never know.
If you're thinking of naming your episode School of Podcasting 861 or How to get your podcast unstuck, which one are you going to click on?
Should use create separate artwork for your episodes? She we use episode numbers in your title? Sometimes it is hard to decide (and there is nobody to ask). What do you do then?
Go with your gut. Your podcast is not a statue, and you can always change it later.
GROWING YOUR PODCAST AUDIENCE
Make it easy to find you by having a name the audience is looking for, easy to say, spell, and find. Have artwork that makes you stand out (and wasn’t done in crayon) with episode titles that make them click. Have buttons on your website so people can follow and subscribe to your show, and while they on your website they can use the share buttons as you ask your audience listening in their favorite podcast app (because your show is everywhere) to share their show with their friends. We want to grow our audiences, let’s focus on those steps that lead to our audience growth.
It all starts with knowing who your audience is, and what they want.

Is Chat GPT the End of Civilization?
I've played with ChatGPT, which is somewhat like a search engine where you can ask it to write you a blog post, and it will. Remember, Google wants good words that deliver value . It does make me nervous as I can see where people could "use this for evil. I played with Revoicer (another one is Blakify is another one), which takes a script and has a robot read it. It's impressive, but almost all AI I deal with still needs a human to step in and polish the content (which, in some cases, is blatantly wrong).
We had a discussion on the Podcasters Roundtable about this and other things happening in 2023.

Don't Let Your Brain (and imposter syndrome) Stop You From Podcasting (and why it's a good thing)
2023/01/02
Info (Show/Hide)
Imposter syndrome is a feeling of self-doubt and insecurity that 70% of us experience at some point in our lives. It can be paralyzing and lead to a sense of being inadequate or undeserving of success. While it is difficult to eliminate the negative feelings associated with imposter syndrome completely, there are steps you can take to reduce its impact on your life. Today I talk about how it may be a GOOD THING to have imposter syndrome.
You Have Done Hard Things
We have all done hard things in the past. One of the hardest things I had to do is let my Grandmother know she had outlived her daughter (my Mom). My last quarter in college was nuts as I was paying for myself to go to school. We all have a list of hard things, so we can do hard things.
It's Your Brain
For whatever reason (probably due to things that got tattooed to our brains as children), those negative thoughts are hard to control. In researching this topic again, it turns out that most people just understand that they will have these thoughts, and in some cases, it's a good thing. Don't underestimate the power of your brain to manipulate you. David Tennant (Dr. Who) shares how his brain will try to convince him that you can remember large amounts of words and recite them AS HE IS LIVE ON STAGE DOING THAT EXACT THING.
You Are Not Alone
In this episode, all of these people have imposter syndrome. I share clips from David Letterman with Billie Elish from his "My next guest needs no introduction."
Viola Davis from a 60 minutes interview.
Jason Sudeikis from his days at SNL.
Michelle Obama
Tom Hanks
Eddie and Wolfgang Van Halen
Awkwafina
David Tennant
Other people I didn't mention would be Rick Springfield and Meryl Streep
Why a little Imposter Syndrome is a Good Thing
You are going to put content in front of an audience. There are two extreme reactions.
The extreme imposter feels they are not qualified and that nobody will listen, so they are frozen and never publish anything. The obnoxious ego maniac that feels everyone will love their content and publish everything (and probably is not fun to be around).
As Viola Davis put it, if you think you will never work again, you will take any gig. Taking any gigs gives you the opportunity to work on your craft which results in you being a better podcaster.
You can't improve something that doesn't exist.
The Goal is to Be In The Middle
You realize that you will always have that "negative voice" with you. As one person put it, "You can let them in the car, but they can't drive." Too many podcasts ae not being created because people are letting their own negative thoughts stop them from pressing record.
You want to build the habit of pressing the record button to feel comfortable behind the microphone without going too far to the point where you become obnoxious.
The Giant Carrot of Impact
One thing that motivates me to create my podcast is I want to help people avoid making podcasting mistakes. Recently, I've been pointing out how Listennotes shows a bogus stat that can be disproven quickly. Consequently, anyone quoting these stats is either uninformed (and setting themselves up to look silly) or is preying on the uninformed. I ran into one person who seemed to fit the "prey on the uninformed" category. This depressed me. I was shocked. I felt like I had done a bad job in this video , and that video showed how stupid this stat was.
Then I got an email from someone who had seen an interaction I had with this person on YouTube and basically said that THEY HAD SEEN MY VIDEOS and now understood how stupid that stat is. So while this one podcast guru did not, this person did. My efforts had impacted this person in a positive way. I was amazed at how this made me feel (I'm sure a large amount of dopamine in my brain was released).
If you are a person with a mission, and a passion, don't let imposter syndrome stop you from impacting the world

Every year since 2013 I end the year asking my listeners what their favorite podcast is, and WHY it is their favorite podcast.

Neil Hedley Helps You Understand Why Your Podcast Promo Isn't Growing Your Podcast Audience
2022/12/19
Info (Show/Hide)
Creating a successful and engaging podcastpromo requires careful planning and dedication. Whether you are creating a podcast promo or radio ad, it is important to have a clear understanding of your target audience (hyper clear). By taking into consideration the message you want to convey, the format of your audio advertisement, you can craft an effective promo for your podcast that resonates with listeners. This episode Neil Hedley from Knopp Studios who has such a wide skillset (radio, tv, advertising, copywriting, comedian, and instructor of the copywriting 101 course - use coupon sop50). Helps me understand there is no "cookie cutter recipe" for making a good podcast promo.

Creating a Good Podcast Promo
In talking with Neil from The Voice In My Head we discover there is no "paint by numbers" path to making a great podcast promo. There are some best practices such as:
Niche down until you have a crystal clear picture of your audience. The message about your show is not a one size fits all situation. If you are advertising on "Joe Rogan Experience" and the "Minister Bob" show, What is missing in most ads is they are just the facts - they are not entertaining or memorable. The job of the first sentence is to get you to listen to the second sentence. There is a skip ad button on YouTube, but no "play ad again." People don't hate ads, they hate BAD ads.

Making A Living as a Successful Podcaster: Are Your Podcast Expectations Substantially Out of Line?
2022/12/12
Info (Show/Hide)
A study has shown the results of 1700 new podcasters, and 41% saw their new podcast as an opportunity for additional income, with 29% of those wanting to be their main source of income. There are people who will charge you THOUSANDS of dollars (in three easy payments) who will GUARANTEE a top spot in podcasts apps. They quote their listennotes stats (even when they know they are bogus, see video 1 and video 2 ) and promote affiliate products - not because they are good - but because they have the highest commission.
I'm not them. Today I reveal the truth - even if it is not what you want to hear.
So The Plan is to Start a Podcast and Get Advertisers?
Less than 10% of podcasters get the number of downloads per episode after 30 days to get a host ready from a "big sponsor." source
Programmatic ads have a CPM that may be around $12 CPM (cost per thousand downloads) source
The median number of podcasters is around 150 (per libsyn)and the average is around 1500. The median on Buzzsprout is 30.
The aver CPM for Advertisecast is $24ish and they require 10,000 downloads per episode. source
Please note, I'm not saying smaller shows with 1000 downloads an episode can't get a sponsor. With podcasting, it always "Depends" on your topic. If you DO have a hyper niche or hyper-local podcast you can charge more than the rates above.
Bruce Chamoff from the NYC Podcast Network
I first ran into Bruce when he invited me to be a speaker at his Podknow 2023 Online Event . I wanted to talk to Bruce because I don't see eye to eye on some of the things he does, and I wanted to no more. One was having a network where the topics weren't related.
Brice started the NYC Podcast Network back in 2005 (it was the Long Island Podcast Network back then). He has slowly broadened the scope and plans on rebranding it to the Global Podcast Network.
Bruce is monetizing by having podcaster pay to be promoted on his site, which gets 20-25 thousand unique visitors a month. That would put him in the top 20% (Source ).
You can join for free or pay a small monthly fee to be featured on the site. Bruce monitors all the activity on the website so you can evaluate your traffic from the site and decide if it's worth the fee, or stay with a free plan (or leave - I'm somewhat worried about having another site competing with YOUR website)
Certain plans on the site allow you to link to our show on popular podcast platforms, as well as monetization links, and link to your website (which you can do on your own site for free).
Bruce likens it to a social media site based around podcasting. What makes his site different is his level of categorization.
You can sign up for free , try it, and check your stats to see if this works for you.
My "Thanks Dave" Engagement Experiment
For three weeks, I swapped out my typical School of Podcasting Advertisement and askws people if they felt I had given value over the years (and they had never joined the School of Podcasting) if they would give some of that value back by going to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/thanks
Six people said "Thanks" and gave some value back (Ranging from $5-$25).
Steve at Wayword studios
Letitia Evans
James Cridland From Podnews
Craig Wealand from Ingles Podcast
DR from Mouthy Broad Media
Try Price from Front Porch Studios
If you take 6/1500 that is .04% (not 4% POINT ZERO 4)
I've mentioned in the past that I've heard the VERY popular show Radiolab do a "Fundraiser" type episode trying to get UP TO 1% of their audience to donate. When I've spoken to other people in the industry, a good engagement level is 2-3%.
If I count the people who are Patrons and Students , I'm somewhere near that ballpark.

Info (Show/Hide)
Creating a successful podcast takes more than just having a great idea. To ensure that the show resonates with listeners, podcasters must understand their audience and the topics they want to hear. Audience surveys are an invaluable tool to help podcasters understand their listeners and create content tailored to them. In this article, we will look at why audience surveys are so crucial for podcasters, as well as some tips on how best to use them.
Why Have a Survey?
1. Advertisers
2. Understanding who listening?
3. Understand what they want
4. To help you deliver more value in your show
Creating Your Survey

Why are you creating this survey?

Question Tips:
Explain to the recipients why you are doing this survey and how it will benefit THEM.
Start with general questions and then get specific.
If you are doing a sliding scale, make it an even number 1-4 instead of 1-5, as it eliminates the ability to choose the items in the middle.

How Gary Arndt Adopted The Audience Growth Strategy From the Movie Industry - And It's Working
2022/11/21
Info (Show/Hide)
Gary Arndt is an award-winning travel photographer, blogger, and podcaster who has been traveling the globe for 10 years when covid devastated the travel industry leaving Gary with nothing. Gary knows the value of promotion. He's used various strategies to grow his podcast Everything Everywhere , including partnering with other podcasts, leveraging his blog traffic, and giving listeners an incentive to subscribe. He also started paying for promotions on other podcasts. As a result, his podcast has reached a wider audience and he's been able to connect with more listeners and is approaching 1 million downloads per month.

Gary Arndt's Multiple Strategy Approach
When Gary first launched his 7-day-a-week podcast Everything Everywhere Gary says he was getting around 6000 downloads per episode. Fast forward two and a half year and Gary is approaching getting 1 million downloads per month (a growth of 167%). How did he do it?
Gary's Strategies:
He never turns down an interview.
He executes feed drops (cross-promotion) with other shows.
His show is listed in all directories.
He has a budget to promote his show on other podcasts.
He is investigating advertising in magazines that match his show.
It's Not the ONE thing he is doing. He is DOING THE WORK.
In today's show you will hear:
Why social media doesn’t convert that well for podcasting.
How Gary chooses his subjects?
What are Gary's growth strategies for your podcast?
Why do you think your media property can get away with doing nothing?
How to get people to buy your ads.
The Spanish National Tourism Board is one of Gary's biggest supporters.
Gary may turn his scripts into a book in the future.
Podcast Quick Tip: Trade Each Podcast Episode Like a Blog Post On Your Website
Make sure your podcast information in your media points to your website. Then when making a new episode, have the link in the episode point to a URL where your audience can find more information (and do all the things you want them to do on your website) This can also lead to boosting your Google SEO Score. If you need a website see Cooler Websites or Name Cheap . If you need a website check out Podcast Page, or Learnpodpage.com (Free course)

Holiday Hours For Apple and Your Media Hosts
Apple has posted their holiday hours.
From 11/29/22 - 11/27/22 along with 12/23/22 - 1/2/23, new shows and channels or subscriptions submitted during these windows may not be available within our regular. And responses to support inquiries might be slightly delayed plan accordingly and submit any new content with this in mind,
According to Rob Walch at Libsyn, "If you want to have a full launch by January 1, you should submit by November 15."
What If I don't submit by November 15th? All is not lost, the world has waited 18 years for your podcast, it may have to wait another week.
Be Kind To Your Media Hosts
No matter what the company is, your media host, email providers, etc, please remember that everyone is taking time off to be with their family and friends, etc. Lighting up a company on social isn't going to help because (more than likely) nobody is home as they are also with their friends and family (and maybe you should be too).
Join my New Dynamic Podcast Newsletter
I'm "doubling down" on a podcast newsletter. This will have podcast news, spotlight podcasts, links to my episodes, what is catching my eye, and behind-the-scenes information at the School of Podcasting. If you go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/newsletter you can check what you want to read. If you're already on the list you will get an email asking you to specify later in the week. For those who are curious, I'm using Mailerlite .
Speaking of the newsletter, I am working on an episode about using a newsletter with your podcast. I've got a few interviews lined up as I want this to be a narrative-style podcast. If you use an email list with your podcast, I'd love to interview you. Contact me
My First Impression of Capsho the AI Copywriting Tool For Podcasters
According to their website, Capsho claims, "The Best AI Copywriting Software for Podcasters. Create your podcast promotional copy in under 10 minutes." You upload your episode, and it spits out:
Episode title Episode description Show notes Blog post Promotional Email Social Media Captions (for all platforms) LinkedIn Article Transcript Is It Worth It?
There are lots of products with AI (Artificial Intelligence). Word Hero will help you write over 60 different types of descriptions starting at $50/month (there is also a lifetime deal aff). Anyword is another copywriting tool for $30/month. Descript with transcribe and make it easy to edit your show (and they have that amazing studio sound tool). Headliner Studio from CoSchedule is $9/month. With Capsho plans starting at $29/month, I believe it delivers enough value (but that depends on your budget). In my world, I've decided to keep using it and see how it performs.
AI Will NEVER Release a Human
I will get into this later, but while a computer can imitate a human, I feel it can't replace. We are all different with these things called opinions and personalities, and even though I can specify a tone in some AI products like Word Hero it almost always needs a tweak to match your personality .
So Who Is Capsho Good For?
If you're not writing anything or struggling, this does a lot of the heavy lifting. If would love to have someone help you with your description, titles, etc but can't afford a virtual assistant, but can find $29-$90 in the monthly budget, then this might be a good fit. As always, you pay in one of two currencies, time or money. Whichever one you have the most of, use that.

Powerful Words For Your Podcast- Don't Say This Say That
2022/11/07
Info (Show/Hide)
In a world where we are constantly bombarded with images and noise, it's easy to forget the power of words. But words are still the most powerful tool we have for communication. They can be used to connect with others, to share our stories, and to create change.
Podcasting is one of the most intimate forms of communication. It's a way to use words to connect with others in a very personal way. When you hear someone's voice, it feels like they're speaking directly to you. And when you share your own story, you have the opportunity to really connect with your listeners.
I was interviewed and the interviewer changed the question from "What is your favorite Books" to "What is one of your favorite books." It puts a whole different level of pressure on the guest. This got me to thinking are there any other words that we can substitute to have a larger impact on our audience.

Mark Achieve More Success Quick by Changing From Whining to Winning
Mark start a new podcast about the new Lord of the Rings show, and instead of explaining how the was costing money, and it took time, and even when the show wasn't putting out more episodes, he had to pay for hosting, etc he changed his strategy.
Mark asked if they received any value, and if they did, would they mind giving any of it back and giving them one link (so it's one call to action).
In his first season, he received around $900. For this old podcast, he also received $900 but it took him between 9-0 years.
Don't Say This Say That
Instead of asking "What is your favorite ____? " you can ask a quest, "What is ONE OF YOUR favorite ____? This still allows us to hear their favorites without having to make them pick their absolute favorite
Instead of asking is someone interested in coming on your show, ask them if they are willing. When it comes to willing vs interested, willing sounds more open.
When the doctor asked "Are there any other concerns you'd like to address in this visit?" 53% of patients responded affirmatively. Yet when the doctor asked "Are there some other concerns you'd like to address in this visit?" a whopping 90% of patients responded affirmatively.
Why? Patients were primed by how each of the words is used elsewhere. Naming "some" concerns implies you have options. "Any" implies random guesswork (at best) or an exhaustive list (at worst.) The word "some" evokes a positive response. (source )
Quick Keys to Communication
Keep it simple.
Is it unexpected?
Be specific
Say it in a way that makes your listener invokes emotions.
Always use stories when possible

Three Tools To Help You Identify What Your Audience Wants
2022/10/17
Info (Show/Hide)
Audience analysis is a critical part of any effective communication. Without understanding what your audience wants, needs, and values, it is impossible to create a message that will resonate. Fortunately, there are a few key methods for understanding your audience so that you can better serve them. Today I share three tools you can use to better understand your audience.

Learn the secret to reading your audience's mind
Today I show you three strategies:
Amazon Strategy
1. Look at 4 and 2-star reviews in Amazon. They typically are more constructive and specific than 1 and 5-star reviews.
Search YouTube
2. Search for your topic and YouTube and find a channel about your topic. Then go to the video and sort by popularity. Then click on the most popular video and sort the comments for the best comments.
Search Facebook
3. In Facebook when you see a topic you want to follow click the three dots ( ... an ellipsis) and choose "turn on notifications for this post." Also, there is a search box in Facebook groups that can help you find the answer quicker (often questions have been asked before). Lastly, read the rules of the group and follow them.
Search Twitter
5. Search Hashtags on Twitter and start conversations as well as read what people are talking about. So many people only use social media to push notifications about THEM instead of going to listen and research. I found this tweet about getting more subscribers from Shawn Dill.
Click HERE to go to Twitter Advanced Search
4. Don't Poach Other People's Clients
Often people in the same genre as you will have an open community, if you join this community, don't self-promote. You are a guest in this person's house and it is very tacky to try and score clients. I am in a few groups of people who do the same thing I do. I answer questions and insights, but mostly I'm there to LISTEN.

20 Resources To Help You Find Podcast Guests
2022/10/10
Info (Show/Hide)
People talk about how hard it is to find guests for their show. I think a more accurate statement is "it's hard to find a good guest for your show." Today I have directories where you can list your show (and yourself) to help you connect with the podcasting space.
Dave's Fun Text Tool
I'm testing TextMagic (aff) because there is no monthly fee. There is a $4/month fee for the phone line, and they charge you 4 cents per text I send. I'm not using this for marketing, I am using it to auto-respond when people text the words (with follow or new to 833204405) you will get a text from me. I'm using Text Magic (aff link).
Previous Episode on All thing Interviews
Previously I did an episode 67 8 about interviews from both sides of the microphone.
Keeping Track of Who and When You Contact Potential Podcast Guests
The tool is used for this is Less Annoying CRM which isn't so much about building sales funnels as it is a way to keep track of your contact with people. There is a free CRM from Hub Spot but there is a bit of a learning curve.

Is It Time To Sell Your Podcast?
2022/10/03
Info (Show/Hide)
Today I share how I saw the power one person's influence can have as I went to a documentary about Kenny Lambert, and they filled a historic theater in downtown Akron. Why not you? Kenny was a homeless drug addict, and now his influence has helped a ton of people.
Heather Osgood is the founder of True Native Media , a podcast representation agency specializing in podcast advertising. She is also the founder of The Podcast Broker, a marketplace for buying and selling podcasts. With an extensive background in radio advertising and a love for podcasting, Heather was in a unique position to start an agency that could help both advertisers get better results and assist podcasters in finding sponsors.
She is the host of The Podcast Advertising Playbook, a show dedicated to educating anyone interested in podcast advertising. When Heather is not playing matchmaker to brands and podcasts, you will find her hiking and spending time with her family at the beach.
I Saw What One Person Can Do
I interview Kenny Lambert from Just a Dad From Akron, on my Akron Podcast show. Kenny explains how he was homeless and suffering from drug addiction, and now he is sober and lives to give back. His life has been turned into a documentary that filled a historic theater in downtown Akron. It was amazing to see all the people one person can touch and to see his influence all in one place. It was amazing.
Heather Osgood Can Help You Sell Your Podcast
Heather Osgood (along with Ben Richardson and Alberto Betella from Rss.com James Cridland From Podnews , and Gordan "The Podcast Lawyer " Firemark) have launched the Podcast Broker
The Podcast Broker was created to simplify the process of buying or selling an established podcast. Utilizing years of experience, we provide a roadmap to execute a well-crafted hand-off from host to host to ensure a seamless experience for both parties.

Why is Joe Rogan So Popular?
2022/09/19
Info (Show/Hide)
I had someone ask me, "Why do you think Joe Rogan is so popular? and I took some time to do some research. I wrote a blog post/video at https://schoolofpodcasting.com/how-to-do-a-podcast-like-joe-rogan/
Things We Learned/Noticed
Joe can be a bit of a lightning rod. You either love him or hate him Joe had impostor syndrome. Joe only has guests he wants to talk to Joe creates an environment where people don't have to worry about triggering others. They talk freely. Joe actually mocks/jokes with his guests. Who do you do this with? Your closest friends. Joe is authentic and it resonates. He spent years learning how to entertain audiences and eventually moved to where he could get more work. While he is a celebrity, that may work to get you to press play ONCE, but you need to deliver value to get them to click AGAIN. Joe states the top skills for an interviewer are listening and thinking
My Opinion
I listen to Joe's show when I see a guest I know and want to no more.
I believe Joe could use some editing. Not to make it 20 minutes, but there are times when I am asking, "How did this make it past the edit?"
THE BOTTOM LINE
You need to be comfortable being yourself. When you try to be someone else, it's hard and doesn't work. That added weight of being someone else leads to burnout.
Play to your strengths. Let your humor shine if you have it. If you're more serious, then build a show around it.
Everyone's biggest fear is to create a show while being themselves will result in a show that's not popular. There are SO MANY reasons why a show can fail, but I can help you avoid the most common mistakes .

This software has tools to clean up audio. We play "bad" audio and their "enhanced version" and again I say, sure this audio was somewhat shrill. I'm not sure spending $800 is worth the results. If you listen, there isn't a TON of difference.

You don't need this software to create a podcast. If you record things with a decent microphone, in a quiet area, you are probably "good enough."
I'm not saying that you can do "whatever you want." Again, you are aiming at perfection but you land on "Very good."

Podcast Decisions: The Balance Between Passion and Logic

In researching successful content creators, I came across quite a few young Youtuber who have six-8 figure subscriber counts, tons of money, and are absolutely miserable.
In looking at why someone would pressure something that was putting too much stress on their life it brought me back to passion (when emotions take over the decision making) and Logic (which only does things that make sense). I came across some new research and insights I wanted to share.
Please note this episode is clean, but does have some bleeped out words.

I'm Thinking of Being a Podcast Editor (with Steve Stewart and Mark Deal)

In the span of a few weeks I had THREE people say, I'm thinking of becoming a podcast editor and it had been years since I talked to Mark and Steve back on episode 752 . That was back when they had just launched the Podcast Editor Academy which is an amazing resource with tutorials on software (Hindenburg, Reaper, etc) but it also talks about the business of being a podcaster editor. Now they have 8000 people in their Facebook group, and now are helping all podcasters at a special event at Podcast Movement before revamping the academy.

By the end, we had all figured out after the third appearance that the "Customer" was a plant, but it was creative and made the webinar (that showcases new video tools) very entertaining as well as educational.

Instead of sending people to www.patreon.com/davejackson I send people to www.askthepodcastcoach.com/awesome this way if later I change to a different tool, I don't end up with all my past episodes with links that no longer work.
Tool for this are:
Pretty Links WordPress Plugin
Podpage has a built-in tool for Pretty Redirects
Rebrandly.com is a cool tracking and redirecting tool
Go Through All The Steps of Your Second Show
Once you start a podcast you often feel like starting an additional show. You know the process, and off you go to start podcast #2. I advise that before you do this DO ALL THE WORK.
In other words, don't just design it on paper, but go through all the steps of actually creating an episode (even if you don't keep it). I didn't do this with the Podcast Trailer Show and what was (on paper) going to take about 15 minutes per episode is taking me twice that.
How did I miss this? I did "shallow" investigations into all steps, and it seemed like everything was going work. However, I didn't actually go through and make some test episodes. I didn't do a dress rehearsal. Consequently, it is taking more time, and its cutting into my schedule and causing issues.
Amazon Rolls Out a Portal
FYI, Amazon has rolled out a portal where you can see how many followers, downloads and more. Go to podcasters.amazon.com
Choose What To Monitor Before Paying to Promote Your Show
If you are going to pay for a promotion, you need to identify how you will gauge success. I recently played with Buzzsprouot ads where you can advertise on other shows. Halfway through the campaign, I realized I hadn't looked at my numbers before running the campaign so I could see if they went up.

Put All Of Your Content On Your Website
I have a YouTube channel, and I occasionally write a blog post on Medium. When I looked at my Google Analytics, I saw that one of my top pages was a post that featured one of my YouTube Videos.
Your website is YOUR MAIN HUB, and it makes it easy for people who enjoy your content to find it in one place. I do spotlight it in my newsletter , but if should be on my website as well
Leave Time On Your Calendar To Learn New Stuff
When you purchase courses, watch webinars, or buy software (Surferseo in my case) you need to leave time on your calendar to go through the learning curve. No matter how easy it is, there WILL BE some amount of time needed to add to your arsenal of skills.
It Doesn't Need to Be Perfect To Start
I have gone through so many different school to manage my learning content. I've been on Thinkific , and almost moved to Teachable (and used Circle for my community), and have now decided (and am 90% moved) to Podia .
The maddening part is Podia was my original first choice. We all get distracted by bells and whistles. I wasted a lot of time and resources, but in the end, I asked my audience and found that some of the new tools I was going to implement, they more than likely wouldn't use. So when in doubt, ask your audience.
The Creator of Anchor Said RSS is Holding Podcasting Back.
He is wrong. Everything he wants to do in RSS you can do by implementing to technology from the Podcast Index. People in the industry need to become aware of this great technology as eventually for these great tools to be put into place, the media hosts, the apps and other will need to implement them.

What Podcasters Can Learn From the Movie Industry
2022/07/11
Info (Show/Hide)
We start off by hearing about a podcast that received 4,000 donations in our quick tip at the top of the show.
I researched what it's like to work in the movie business. Why? Because movies are meant to entertain and take up the audience's time (their most prized possession).
We look at the process of making a movie, and some things that podcasters have an easier road, and some steps movies take, that podcasters should seriously consider .

Rodecaster Pro II: 11 Things I Like About it and 6 Things I Don't
2022/07/04
Info (Show/Hide)
The Rodecaster Pro II is the new device from Rode. Today I compare it to the Rodecaster Pro I along with some other devices. This device is $700 and (IMHO) not for someone who is just doing some casual interviews via zoom. Feel free to follow/subscribe , and check out any of the other 833 episodes I have.

Super QUiet Preamps Automatic Monitor Muting Smartpads now play sounds, control midi devices, and add effects Only record the channels you need (FINALLY!) No More Polywave Ability to put the unit on a stand and get it off your desk USB C Electric input which makes it easy to run on batteries. Flexible input assignments and color coding In addition to Aphex processing, new 3-band EQ THINGS THAT ANNOY ME Multiple outputs are confusing and seem to change without me doing anything. I need the ability to turn on and off mix-minus. This is available on USB2, but if I am using (only) that option when I fire up the software on my computer, it won't connect to the unit because I'm not on USB 1. If I want to tie this into my DAW, tracks 1 and 2 are the stereo mix. This means my first slider is #3. The fader features fades out for X amount of seconds and keeps everything faded out. After the X amount of time it should unfade everything. This is an easy one to trip over. Set the Lights Brightness level sounds great, but I couldn't tell a channel was muted because the lights were so dim. This is (again) operator error, but frustrating. Loss of count down number is replaced with a pie chart. Those with older eyesight prefer large numbers. I am required to take the cover off to turn the unit off. I use to be able to press the on off button twice and leave the cover on. Loss way to have a CONNECTED phone call. ON the ROdecaster 1, I could plug in a TRRS cable and the phone did everything like usual. Now if I want to make a phone call, I HAVE to use Bluetooth. When I plugged in the SC19 cable, the Rodecaster rebooted and the sound out of my phone was unusable. I was somewhat bummed after spending $30 on a cable, that I can't use it to make phone calls on my podcast without using Bluetooth. I need to remember to turn off Bluetooth on the unit as my phone keeps connecting to it. Comparing it to Some of the Competition Zoom Podtrak P4
I refer to this as the swiss army of podcasting. It does everything. It is an interface and a recorder, headphone amp, and jingle player, and it comes in at $200ish. Yes the preamps won't be as steller, but as you heard today the hiss is minimal in some cases.
Focusrite Vocaster
This unit is NOT a recorder, but setting it up and recording into software is super easy. You can send the main outs to a recorder, connect via blue tooth or WIRED TRRS cable. The "2" has blue tooth and output to go to your camera. This one wins the "I need something easy" conversation.
Rodecaster Pro II
This is for live streamers who want that audio processing to go out on the video as they record it (no post-production). They want to play sounds/music and have flexible configurations.
Final Thoughts
While the Rodecaster Pro II currently drives me a little nuts, I'm not worried. Rod has done a great job communicating with their users and has already made videos on future updates (to calm any fears). So while this current unit has me scratching my head, Rode has demonstrated they listen (the stand attachment on the back of the unit screams "We heard you want your desk back").
Don't Buy This If Nobody is telling you your podcast sounds bad You think this will solve plosives (it won't that is mic technique) "I don't know, it sounds cool" (unless you have $700 in your couch cushion). You think this will help you grow your audience (again unless you have REALLY bad audio, it's the CONTENT that helps grow the audience). Join the School of Podcasting

Focusing on the Big Picture When Your Audience is Right in Front of You
2022/06/06
Info (Show/Hide)
Today I am back from Podfest with some insights to share, tips on meeting your audience, and thoughts on the interfaces from Focusrite.
Focusrite: The Vocaster Series Made For Podcasters
AutoGain - Easily set your levels with the click of a button, with more than enough gain on tap (70dB) – no booster is needed Enhance - Four podcaster-approved voice presets bring out the best in any voice Mute - Silence the mic with the touch of a button - don’t let unexpected interruptions get in the way of recording Connect your phone - Record phone calls, high-quality music, or other audio from your device, seamlessly Record to a camera - Plug in your camera and record directly to its memory card Loopback - Stream calls or any other audio you can think of from your computer with two sets of stereo loopback Included software - Hindenburg Lite to record, three months of SquadCast Pro + Video to bring in your guests, and six months of Acast Influencer to publish, you’re ready to get your show out there Learn more at: Focusrite.com/Vocaster Why We Often Get Sick at Events
Because we get to see people we never get to see, these events take on a "one of a kind" atmosphere, and the feat of missing out (and to a certain level, that is true). When we start to "push through" we start to jeopardize our health (even without a pandemic).
We get up early to catch flights, do all sorts of walking through airports and hotels, consume things that may not be considered, "Healthy" under-hydrate, and repeat many of these steps for the rest of the conference.
Then we go home and blame the plane.
I've been doing almost nothing all week trying to get my health back. While I might've missed a fun story staying up later talking with friends, anything I missed would not equal the moment I lost by putting everything on hold.
We all love to have fun and see friends, but for me, I'm going to be a bit more responsible in the future.
Clearing Up Some Confusion That I Heard At Podfest
DOWNLOADS UPON FOLLOW
When someone follows your show in Apple, and you have three episodes, you will NOT get three downloads if someone follows you (they only automatically download the last episode. If they want the other two episodes, they need to manually download them.
LISTEN NOTES STATS
While this sounds impressive to say, "I'm in the top 1% of podcasters on Listen notes ." Until you read that this is based on people listening on Listen notes and 3rd party data. As every media host I know has asked Apple for listening data (and been turned down), that is not the information that are using. I need to reach out to them to find out exactly what they are using, but to say, "I'm in the top 1% of podcasts (on listen notes) is like me saying, "I'm the #1 podcast (of shows with a host named Dave who live in Akron Ohio).
I'm not trying to be "Dave Jackson - Dream Crusher" but to help people focus on more important things that will result in larger downloads (I call it, "their audience.").
How To Accept Compliments From Your Audience
Many podcasters (including myself) are introverts. Consequently, having someone come up and give you compliments may make you feel uneasy. In the past, I would deflect, or make a joke, and my ex-wife said, "Would you just say Thank You!" and she was right.
Here are some tips:
Don't correct them Don't downgrade (You're GREAT, and you answer, "It was OK). Don't Brag - Yes, I AM AWESOME
Instead, say:
Thank You,
Thank you very much.
That means a lot to me.
That's very nice of you to say.
Don't forget you have a listener in front of you, after you accept the compliment ask them for feedback so you can hear what is working, and hopefully get some feedback on how to improve.
Lastly, don't forget to ask them if they want to take a selfie as they will be happy to share it on social.
Focusrite Vocaster Two Review
If you're looking for an interface to get your microphone into your computer, this device makes it simple (there is a tool to automatically set your gain). There is some subtle built-in processing to tweak your audio.
What you heard today is me using the Shure SM7B WITHOUT ANY KIND OF CLOUDLIFTER or FETHEAD. It has plenty of drive.
You can plug your phone into it via a TRRS input (with built-in mix-minus). There is also an output jack to feed the audio into your camera which eliminates the whole, "Delay issue" that comes with some video cameras.

It's Not the Format - It's the Connection with Vincent Pugliese
2022/05/23
Info (Show/Hide)
I've known Vincent a few years and we always bump into each other at podcast events. Scott Johnson had mentioned his episode "Doing It Wrong Right From The Start ." So I looked into it, and I loved that Incent was having success and by some standards "breaking the rules" of podcasting. That sounded interesting, and that was just the start.
Sponsor: Focusrite Interfaces Focusrite has been at the forefront of audio technology since 1985 Focusrite interfaces are great for all content creators Scarlett is the world’s best-selling range of audio interfaces with over 4.5 million sold to date Easy to use Great sound quality More info can be found at: www.focusrite.com/podcasters The Wealth of Connection
The Wealth of Connection is now one of my favorite books. It's filled with lessons and stories which leads to an entertaining read that leaves you thinking.
Ignoring Standard Practices: Vincent Pugliese
Check out Vincent Pugliese's at totallifefreedom.com
Vincent did a TON of DAILY podcasts and released them to a private group before doing any podcasts for the general public.
He has no intro or outro music.
His only branding is his website which is also the name of his podcast Total Life Freedom .
Vincent is doing what I always advise my clients to do. Focus on the reception - not the broadcast.
He uses the "notes" app on his phone (again, it doesn't need to be fancy).
He focused on serving his audience, not on monetization.
He tried doing seasons and it just about wiped him out. So he focused on creating a podcast that works FOR HIM. It makes no sense to do a podcast that drains you to the point you don't want to do it.
Vincent is always looking for the next challenge, and if it doesn't work, you take what you've learned and use it on the next challenge.
When you start something, your launch timeframe is not 5 months. It's 5 YEARS, and for the next five years, you spend time moving that project forward.
VIncent also shares hits thoughts on impostor syndrome.
Check out Vincent at totallifefreedom.com and his book on Amazon and Audible (aff link)
Because of My Podcast: Kamuela Kaneshiro
Because of my podcast, I was able to improve my writing effectively monetize my podcast through books, inspire podcast listeners to embrace their heritage and not be embarrassed for who they are, and bring broken families together

We all want to grow our audience. We want to become their favorite show so they just want more. In some cases, you may actually be someone's favorite podcast and they would listen to another episode except you've made it hard to binge. So today we look at nine tips to help your show be Bingeworthy.

Making Your Podcast Binge-Worthy
Something to think about:
What are you offering your audience that they should spend their time-consuming? Not just one but several episodes. That statement is a little scary.
1. It has to be GOOD, actually very good.
2. Create click-attracting titles. I use a tool called Headline Studio
3. Get your audience asking, What Happens Next??
4. Give them multiple points of insight.
5. Make it EASY to Binge (by making it easy to subscribe/follow). See this plugin
6. Add an element of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO).
7. Get Your Best Content In Front of Your Audience
8. Teasing Your Audience
9. Have a Show that Walks Through a Process
Make your content relevant . Be YOURSELF.
Free Zoom Reduces Amount of Time
Check out Squadcast (my favorite). If you must use something free there is zencastr and cleanfeed . You can just upgrade your zoom account ($15)

Do You Have Time To Listen to ANOTHER Podcast?
2022/04/25
Info (Show/Hide)
We all think, "just make good content and promote your show" but as podcasts become more mainstream and the average listener now consumes multiple episodes a week, do they have room for YOUR show? I asked my audience what their status is. If you found a really good show, would you have to "bump" one you are listening to now?

Summary:
In general, we are all "out of time, " yet if something good comes along, we seem to make room. We also have different phases of life, and some of the shows we listen to take breaks and we find new shows.
The bottom line is there is only so much time to listen and the shows that deliver the most value will be heard.

Is Dynamic Content Right For You?
2022/04/18
Info (Show/Hide)
After seeing the podcasting space gear up for more advertising (something I'm not thrilled with) more media hosts are developing dynamic content. So what is dynamic content, do you need it, and how do you use it?
What is Dynamic Content?
Dynamic content is content that your media host inserts into your mp3 file at spots you select. This is often used for ads. In some spaces, people confuse "Dynamic Ad Insertion" and "Dynamic Content" as being the same thing. They are not. While you can use Dynamic Content, it does NOT have to be ads. It can be anything that is time-sensitive.
Who Offers This Technology?
Libsyn.com (LibsynPro solution - full disclosure I work there). Use the coupon code sopfree to get a free month.
Captivate has an impressive dynamic content tool that even updates your episode description when you swap out content.
Podbean has pod ads https://podads.podbean.com/
Blubrry has a pro version
Red Circle (500 weekly downloads)
RSS.com (10,000 downloads a day)
Pros of Dynamic Content No more outdated time-based content The ability to sell your back catalog* Cons of Dynamic Content You really need to pay attention to volume levels (I'm using WLM Plus plugin) To sell your back episodes you need to go through your whole back episodes and insert spots. Updating old files might be trickier You need to consider how to lead in and come out of dynamic content. Focusrite Interfaces

Disney got all sorts of deals when they built the location in Florida. On the No Agenda show they explain that the reason employees are known as "Castmembers" is to get around Florida Labor laws. It's at the 2 hours and25 minute mark.
Apple Charts Criteria
I've said for years that ratings and reviews do NOTHING but provide social proof. You want people to ask people to follow you and share your show with a friend.

Flying Past Your Fear of Podcasting With Mark Hasara
2022/04/11
Info (Show/Hide)
Mark was a US air force Pilot, Speaker, Author, and Entrepreneur, but was hesitant to start his podcast. Today we talk about what was stopping him, and how his podcast is helping to promote his Wall Pilot business.
We also hear about some discouraging statistics from Chartable about podcast cross-promote (courtesy of Evo Terra ).
Spotify may be working on a "Tik Tok meets Tinder" discovery tool. I'm not sure that is going to work.
I introduce a new segment "I Heard it on a podcast" this time it was the Moe Factz show with Moe and Adam Curry

Back From Podcast Movement with Free Stuff, Cool Apps, and a Worried Mind

The Three Main Players in Podcasting
I've said in the past that a podcast needs three things to survive podcasting (support, health, and attitude). The podcast industry needs to make sure as it moves forward to take steps that benefit all three main players. Who are the main players?
The podcasting companies (media hosts, agencies, etc) The podcaster (creators). The Listener (you).
If we don't keep all of them happy (especially the listener) we all lose.
A New Great App For Community and Coaching
I discovered the Volley app (aff link) listening to a podcast on the way home from Podcast Movement. I tried it out, and it is SO COOL. Especially for those people who hate Facebook. It's like Loom, Zoom, and Slack had a baby. If you want to build a community, this makes it easy as its available on Android, iOs, Mac, and PC. You can have group discussions in public, or in private as well as private one-on-one sessions (where each member's conversations are organized together).
You can communicate via:
Video Screenshare Audio Text Gif
It's a pretty amazing app. There is only ONE FEATURE I REALLY HATE.
It's free. I am interviewing one of the co-founders, and he insures me they will monetize eventually but are (for now) working on their feature set. I just hate to build on something free. With this in mind, I'm using it in conjunction with my Facebook group instead of replacing it.
I look forward to having time-shifted video/audio conversations with my students.
You can learn Volley by joining my Volley Space on learning Volley (I know how meta can you get?)

Protect Your Podcast: Never Say, I Didn't Know What I Didn't Know
2022/03/21
Info (Show/Hide)
I was speaking at the National Religious Broadcasters in Nashville Tennessee and kept hearing a few phrases that make me worried. Phrases like, “I had some friend, or some temp, or some web guy, or even a professional service” set up my podcast. Then in talking with them, I learned that (in many cases) everyone is setup wrong. We’ve all been in a situation where we don’t know what we don’t know. We don’t know what should be important. Today, in episode 819, I’m going to tell you.
Things You Need to Know Apple, Google, and Spotify have additional stats. If you let someone setup your show "for you" you lose access to those stats. When someone orders your media hosting "For you" THEY OWN YOUR SHOW. Media hosts (eventually ) delete your files if you cancel your account. Make sure you have a copy of your media files. You should own your show and then add your editors to YOUR account.
The bottom line is you don’t want anyone between you and your podcast and you and your audience. Question of the Month
Share your thoughts and get some exposure for your show and answer the question of the month.
