Goals & Wins
Goal: To evaluate whether you should have a
podcast, and whether it will serve your business
Takeaways:
• Interview style & tips
• Level of investment
• Tech talk
• Process & Editing
• Show ideas
What I Listen To…
Why Should YOU Podcast?
• People have unclaimed time
• Connect with your tribe and let them ‘hear’ you
• Authority in subject
What Are Your Intentions?
• What is your ultimate goal?
• List the first 20 eps of your show (helps to
create editorial calendar/Evernote)
• Do you have time for this?
• What is format? + Guest? Just You? You +
Partner(s)?
Interview Tips
• Avoid saying “um” “like” – only way to avoid
this is practice
• Avoid talking about yourself – its about the
guest
• Have a few q’s on index card – let interview be
flexible
• LISTEN to guest
Finding Topics
• What are your biggest traffic draws on your
website? Which post draws the most people?
• Browse FAQ sections on your topic
• Amazon – read reviews
• Customer/client emails
• Potential Guests
– book authors LOVE podcasts
– VPs, CMO’s at major corporations
Types of Episodes
• Informational
– Give something to improve people’s lives
• Interviews
– Talk to someone that might enhance understand
of the space you serve
Podcast itself is almost never the main
business

Editor's Notes

  1. How many in here listen to podcasts? Podcast listening grew 23% between 2015 and 2016 and one in 5 Americans listen to a podcast monthly In 2014 – we were listening on computer – now its smartphone or tablet
  2. One in five people listen to a podcast in 2016 – most listen to around 5, But is it a good fit for you? You need a certain personality, you need to speak clearly – no um’s and oh’s and likes. Not about your voice – about your heart
  3. Goal should be to help and serve others
  4. Voice doesn’t matter, it’s the heart that matters
  5. Top of the line: Mic – Neumann (http://neumannusa.com) Ranges from $1,000 on up. Mic Pre-amp Processor Digital Hybrid – Innkeeper 2 – separates caller and talents voices for even better editing Mixer Board - Yamaha TF5 Interface – Apogee Symphony Bundle Editing Program – Avid Pro Tools and/or Adobe Audition
  6. Step one – record podcast, step 2 – upload to Libsyn – step 3 – submit first – to do so, Open iTunes, choose File > Subscribe to Podcast, type your RSS feed URL in the text box (you grab this from your Libsyn dashboard) then click OK. 
If you can successfully download and play the episode in iTunes, then your podcast is working and you can submit it to the iTunes Store.
  7. Don’t believe in having a podcast weekly or biweely or out on a certain day. Don’t have to do what others’ are.
