    Podcast Saturation: Is Your Playlist Bursting at the Seams?

    Today I asked my audience how full is their playlist? Are they looking for more shows? Happy with the Current Line up? Or are you already behind on the shows you follow? Is it harder to grow a podcast today than, say 5 years ago?

    I also talk about an Evernote alternative (as their price is going WAY UP) and how when things evolve, some will like it and some won't, do what is right for your show, and your sanity.

    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 LoveNo More Dreaded MondaysWisdom 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?

    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.

    Achieve More, Faster: The Insider's Guide to the Impactful Benefits of Hiring a Coach

    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

    From Podcast Launch to Delivery: Unveiling Realistic Expectations for Aspiring Podcasters in 2024

    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.

    Bert Weiss Boils Podcasting Down to Two Items

    In the Book Listenable: The Content and Delivery System to Set Your Podcast Apart

    Bert Wiess (Hey Bert! Call me. I want to interview you) boils it down to this: A podcast is made up of two things:

    1. Content
    2. Delivery

    One without the other will not work.

    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.

    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.

    Unleash the Power of LinkedIn for Your Podcast: Insider Tips from a LinkedIn Pro

    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.

    Don't Get Bitten: Identifying Predatory Practices in Podcasting

    Today I talk about some practices I've seen and heard about that may be designed to prey on the uninformed and/or be designed to serve the podcaster and not their audience. I also comment on a great article from Tom Webster, which ties in nicely with a documentary called "Worst to First" which shows how Z100 in New York City described their show in a way that positioned themselves as an authority.

    What Makes This Great? Behind the Scenes With David Hooper

    What Makes This Great? Behind the Scenes With David Hooper

    David Hooper published an episode where he gives the "behind the scenes" view of his interview with Dolly Parton on his Build a Big Podcastt 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
