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

What is the goal of this survey?
Why are you creating this survey?
What do you hope to accomplish with this survey?
How will you use the data you are collecting?

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.

If you have advertisers ask if people have purchased one of your sponsor's products.

Did You Get Value From This Episode?

Enjoy the Show? Buy Dave a Coffee

and give some of that value back. 

 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.
