• Add More to Your Podcast? Remember to Subtract!
    Nov 4 2024
    If you want to add something new to your podcasting routine, you need to subtract something else from your schedule. Time management is crucial for podcasters; today, I'm pointing out the importance of making intentional choices about allocating our time. Let's examine the balance between new opportunities and existing commitments. I emphasize that every addition comes with a necessary subtraction (unless you want to lose your mind). This episode is filled with practical tips and personal insights on how to manage your time while avoiding burnout. Whether you want to expand your podcasting efforts or keep your sanity intact, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate your busy schedule.Got Feedback On This Episode?I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode. If you have a minute or two, it's less than five questions and works great on your phone or computer. Share Your ThoughtsTakeaways: To succeed in podcasting, remember that adding a new task means subtracting an existing one (if you're truly "busy"). Effective time management in podcasting requires precise scheduling for learning new tools or platforms. Evaluate your current commitments and prioritize what truly adds value to your podcasting journey (and value to your audience). Being overwhelmed by podcasting tasks can be alleviated by understanding your available time. Use tools to track your productivity and identify what activities yield the best results. Avoid the hustle culture; prioritize your health and family while managing your podcasting goals.

  • Promote Like a Pro: Getting Your Podcast Guests to Spread the Word

    Today we look at how to encourage guests to promote their episodes. Host Dave Jackson opens the show by discussing the importance of reciprocity in the podcasting world, emphasizing that hosts and guests benefit from effective promotion strategies.

Share Your ThoughtsContributors:Kim Newlove - The Pharmacists Voice, Perrysburg PodcastKris - Podtastic AudioKiona Nessenbaum - Birth As We Know ItTakeaways: Building a relationship with your podcast guests before the interview can lead to better promotion later. Make it easy for guests to share their episodes by providing direct links and images. As a host, please don't rely solely on guests to promote their episodes; it's not guaranteed. Offering your guests clear and simple promotional tools can encourage them to share your interview. Please tell your guests when their episodes will be released to help them prepare to share. As a guest, promise to promote the episode to increase your chances of being invited back. If you want them to share, the interview should be different than previous interviews.Links referenced in this episode:schoolofpodcasting.comthepharmacistvoice.comperrysburgpodcast.compodcasticaudio.combirthaswenowitpodcast.comsmartbusinessrevolution.compodnewsThis Amercian LifeInsider Secrets to Topp 100 PodcastDave's ResourcesJoin the School of Podcasting CommunityProfit From Your Podcast BookPower of Podcasting NetworkDave's YouTube ChannelDave's Podcasting NewsletterBuy Dave a Coffee

  • The Future of Film and Podcasting: Avoiding the Same Pitfalls
    Oct 14 2024

    This episode serves as a guide for content creators to learn from the mistakes of the movie industry. It advocates for creativity, genuine audience engagement, and strategic marketing that resonates with today's consumers.

    The movie industry is falling fast. I share my childhood memories of the joy of watching movies and how attending a movie now has changed dramatically. We need to understand the power of audience engagement, noting that the film industry is often playing it safe with sequels and familiar franchises (a strategy that may not always yield positive results).

    As podcasters, we need to note these trends and craft our content thoughtfully, ensuring that we do not fall into the trap of repeating what has already been done. Podcasters can stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace by fostering authentic connections with listeners and providing innovative, compelling narratives.

  • Maximize Listener Engagement with Podcast Chapters
    Sep 30 2024
    Chapters in podcast episodes allow listeners to easily navigate content, enhancing their listening experience by allowing them to skip to segments they find most intriguing or relevant. Dave Jackson explores the evolution and utility of chapters, reflecting on his initial disdain and eventual reliance on them. Dave invites podcasters to share their perspectives, highlighting a range of opinions from enthusiastic advocates to skeptics who worry chapters might disrupt the listener's engagement. Tools like Hindenburg and Descript are spotlighted for their ability to integrate chapters seamlessly, while AI-driven solutions from hosts like Buzzsprout and Captivate are emerging to automate the process. As the podcasting landscape evolves, chapters are becoming a valuable feature for both content creators and audiences, though their adoption remains a personal choice, influenced by the podcast's format and the creator's goals.All opinions are ours.
