46 million Americans listen to podcasts at least monthly. New podcasts are coming online every day, especially in marketing, where the new site MarketingPodcasts.com serves as the search engine for marketing podcasts.
Jay Baer's Convince & Convert Media produces three podcasts currently: the long-running Social Pros; Content Pros; and the near-daily video podcast, Jay Today.
In this detailed presentation, the Convince & Convert team share the specific steps they follow to produce these popular marketing podcasts.

to
the
mobile
nature
of
podcasts,
people
can
take
them
anywhere…
…to
the
gym,
in
the
car,
out
for
a

8. These are the 15 steps
you need to do it.
If
you
want
to
reach
this
audience,
make
a
good
podcast.
10. Schedule
one
large
chunk
of
=me
to
record
your
podcast
rather
than
several
smaller
chunks
Let yourself “get in the flow”
for your podcast. Set aside a
couple hours for your show.
14. We
record
our
podcasts
with
GoTo
Mee=ng.
It’s
easiest
for
our
approach.

Audio slightly more stable Audio somewhat less stable
Does not require advanced
equipment or techniques to
get good quality
Works better with advanced
equipment and audio
techniques
Somewhat more expensive
($40-$50/month). Could use
for free if # of users is
limited to three per episode.
Somewhat less expensive
but should purchase
additional software to
ensure audio quality

26. AYer
you’ve
recorded
all
your
audio,
save
your
files.
GoTo
Mee=ng
has
a
built-‐in
tool
to
do
this
Send files to your producer via
DropBox. Tip: Want to make
your producer’s life easier?
Propose an episode title.
28. The
amount
of
edi=ng
you
do
is
somewhat
determined
by
the
personality
you
want
your
podcast
to
have.
We
want
our
podcasts
to
be
authen=c
and
do
light
edi=ng
to
achieve
this.
At a Minimum:
Make sure guests and hosts
are at the same audio level.
We use Levelator for this.
Cut out obvious
delays and mistakes.
Insert pre-recorded opens
and closes.
We use Audiobag for this.
Insert your commercials
into your show.
30. Once
your
show
is
ready
to
be
heard,
add
it
to
your
hos=ng
pla[orm.
We use Podbean for Social Pros and
Libsyn for Content Pros. Once there,
shows automatically go into feeds on
iTunes and aggregators like Stitcher.
31. Tip: Upload your finished
audio to Speechpad, a
word-for-word
transcription service that
charges $1/minute.
Trust us, it’ll make the next
step much easier.
33. Use
the
best
moments
from
each
show
to
create
a
blog
post.
If you don’t use Speechpad for this
step, assign someone to take notes
and write up highlights for you.
35. The
day
the
show
goes
live,
email
your
guests
to
let
them
know
Encourage guests to share the episode.
Tip: Send a digital “badge” guests can
use on their website or blog.
37. Promote
each
episode
on
as
many
social
channels
as
you
can
Have an email list?
Promote it there, too. Run
display ads. Find places to
promote your show.
39. Use
your
podcast
to
make
more
content
Use podcast content in additional content
assets. Post a monthly recap on your blog or
create a ‘greatest hits’ eBook of the most
valuable points discussed during your show.
