    Understanding Platform Fees: Best Options for Podcast Donations and Premium Content
    Sep 2 2024
    Value for Value or (podcasting 2.0) is NOT just about streaming Satoshi's (a very small amount of bitcoin). Today, we will discuss asking for support and what tools fit best for your situation. I may earn a small commission for some of these as I participate in their affiliate program. This costs you nothing and supports the show.Got Feedback On This Episode?I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode.

If I just wanted to accept money, I'd use Buy Me a Coffee. If I wanted to sell premium content, I would use Supercast (although Captivate and Buzzsprout are very attractive if you are using them for hosting). Supercast has a super easy onboarding for new listeners with a two-click install, and their percentage is in alignment with others (if not less). Keep In Mind:A show with WOW content will likely get around 3% of its audience to engage.New podcasters should focus on building great content and their audience instead of monetizing, which can lead to disappointment.

  • Podcast Movement Reflections 2024 from DC - Now With Plugins!

    Podcast Movement Reflections 2024 from DC - Now With Plugins!
    Aug 26 2024

    Today I reflect on my trip to Washington DC to Podcast Movement 2024. We talk about the gear, some presentations, some things that could only happen at Podcast Movement in DC, and why there wasn't any carpet.

    I used the Rode Interview Pro Portable Microphone to record some interviews in the very noisy vendor hall. With this in mind, I thought I'd talk about plugins that can clean things up.

    Full show notes are on the website.

  • Unraveling the Power of Word-of-Mouth in Podcast Recommendations

    Unraveling the Power of Word-of-Mouth in Podcast Recommendations
    Aug 5 2024

    70% of podcasts are discovered via word of mouth (Jacobs Media). So if we can understand what makes someone recommend something, we can start to do that in our show.

    We heard words like affordable, quality, and unique. Some people recommend based on a relationship that delivers value. When you deliver something you can't get any place else.

  • Because of My Podcast: Dave Edition

    Because of My Podcast: Dave Edition
    Jul 29 2024

    My last day at Libsyn was July 12th, 2024. I'm starting a new chapter in my podcasting career, and so to announce the next chapter, I thought it might be fun (and maybe inspirational? ) for newbies to see what is possible with a podcast. Last week I talked about my journey through technology. I explained that where I am now is NOT where I started and it took years to get here. Today I'm talking about the most important benefit of podcasting (and it's not money, or fame). It's relationships.

    You will see that one teacher gave me a nudge. Once I started podcasting (because it was WAY HARDER in 2005), when I wasn't working on making GREAT content, I was working on growing my network through relationships. I am still in contact with many of those today.

    Your Podcast Leads To Opportunities

    You are seen as an expert (no matter if you want to be or not) and that positioning leads to opportunities. Those opportunities lead to relationships. Those new relationships lead to more opportunities. If you DON'T QUIT, the wheel keeps turning. It does not happen overnight, and it might take years. Some might say I have first mover advantage. Let's say that is true. So did a whole lot of other people. There is one big difference. I didn't quit. I'm still here.

    Opportunities Lead to Relationships

    I had Spreaker, Blubrry, and Libsyn representatives on my show. I would see these people at events. Your podcast can be a digital resume. When the New Media Expo needed a new head for their podcasting track, all of these hosting companies had one name they recommended: Dave Jackson.

  • Dave Jackson’s Journey from Basic Gear to Professional Podcasting

    Dave Jackson’s Journey from Basic Gear to Professional Podcasting
    Jul 22 2024

    I had two people ask me about the "Behind the Scenes" operations of the School of Podcasting. I was nervous about doing this episode. If you're new to the show, I normally don't talk about myself for 47 minutes. As I had two people ask similar questions, I thought I'd share information about:

    Where I Started (start ugly - great book)

    My first podcast setup

    My first "business office"

    Why and how I upgraded (and why you probably don't need to).

    What I'm using now for the podcast and the business.

    I also mention the Podcaster Happy Hour (check out this new networking and education event).
