How to Create a Podcast that People Love

 

Would you like to create a podcast that people love? Learning how to create a podcast that people will take the time to download and listen to on a regular basis takes work. You will need to create a laser-targeted show that your audience gets value from. Plus, you will need to promote the show to your audience in multiple ways. Here are 3 steps to master if you want to create a podcast that people love.

1. Laser Target Your Audience

It is imperative that you niche down your idea to a very narrow niche audience. This way you can show your passion and more easily identify the biggest pain points for your audience.

Once you niche down your idea, it is going to make it so much easier for you to create your title, your tagline, and come up with content that your audience will love. The more you can address your audience’s struggles, obstacles and challenges, the more people will want to listen to your podcasts.

An interesting thing happens when you understand your audience more and can laser target them. You will automatically come up with the right titles, keywords, and associations for the search engines and please your audience at the same time.

It just makes life easier all the way around if you know exactly who you are going to speak to in your podcast. Plus, you will be more successful if you do this preliminary work first.

2. Get Known as A Leader

There are many ways to get known as a leader. One of them is making your podcast awesome. But another is the other things you do outside of your podcast. For example, write a book, get interviewed by other movers and shakers, go to live events. Offer your expertise to every group you are involved with.

It is simple to self-publish a book using Amazon and Create Space. To come up with a topic, try answering just one pain point for your audience.

Do not forget to mention in your book about your podcast. People who enjoy the book will want to hear your podcast and vice versa. Present yourself as an expert and leader on all your social media profiles, your web page and in your podcast description.

3. Publish Regularly

Understand that when you first start your show, you should publish more shows than ever before. This is to build up your viewership.

Also, did you know that iTunes.com will help promote you the first 8 weeks your podcast is new after it is being accepted? This is a crucial time for you to keep the show going and post more. Most experts state to publish a new show at least three times a week at first.

This is a good rule of thumb, but some experts say a daily (5 days a week) may be even better to get your audience into the habit and to help everyone get to know you faster.

We have not quite mastered doing a daily show. At My Biz Dream Team, we produce a weekly podcast show that serves a growing audience. Tune in on Wednesday for the latest episode of My Biz Dream Team: Opportunity Wednesday Training Series

Conclusion/Call to Action

By following a few proven strategies, you can create a podcast that your people love. First, laser target your audience. Niche down to a specific group. Then address their struggles, obstacles, and obstacles.

Second, get known as a leader. Do something outside of your podcast, like writing a book to showcase your expertise.

Third, publish regularly. You must publish your podcast regularly to build up your audience.

At My Biz Dream Team, we show you how to develop an internet lifestyle business that can help you reach your money goals. Check out The Podcasting Power Playbook, to help you increase your visibility, credibility, and authority status.  Let us show you how to reach your goal of creating a lifestyle and a business that you love!

How to Create a Podcast that Grows Your Business

Are you a coach, author, speaker, or entrepreneur who seriously wants to create a podcast that grows your business? However, you do not know where to start. If so, you are in the right place. This episode of My Biz Dream Team: Opportunity Wednesday Training Series is about how to create a podcast that grows your business.

1.    Create a high-quality podcast

When you look around, you quickly realize that there are not enough high-quality podcasts out there. But you can create a high-quality podcast that attracts the right audience and grow your business. It is all about how you brand yourself and the guests that you attract.

We have been podcasting for the past 18 months and have seen our audience and our business grow significantly. We have learned several lessons that we will be sharing with you over the next few weeks. You can also find information about creating a podcast that grows your business on these other blog posts: How You Can Make Podcasting Absolutely Enjoyable; How to Easily Start Your Own Awesome Podcast; How to Avoid Making an Amateur Podcasting Mistake; Podcasting Can Increase Your Visibility; Podcasting Strategies: Tips on making a Positive Impression.

2.    Start with a plan

Before you create a podcast that grows your business, you must first develop a plan and strategy for your podcast. Think about the purpose of the podcast and the audience you want to attract. What will be your theme and focus? Then decide how you will brand your podcast to stand out from the more than 100,000 podcasts already on the air.  Hosting a podcast provides you a wonderful opportunity to be viewed as an expert. However, you will not be recognized as an expert overnight. If you want to be successful, start with a plan and follow through.

3.    Be willing to put in the work

Every week we host a live teleseminar program. Our focus is helping new entrepreneurs get visibility and grow their business. We record the program live and then turn it into a podcast. You can do the same thing. But, before you begin, ask yourself are you willing to put in the work. As best- selling author, Don Yaeger says, “There are no secrets to be being successful at podcasting, you simply need to be willing to the common things uncommonly well.” 

We spend 4-5 hours a week, preparing for each 20-minute podcast. It is a commitment to our audience that keeps us going week after week.

Conclusion/Call to Action

If you want to create a podcast that grows your business, you must:

1.    Create a high-quality podcast

2.    Start with a plan

3.    Be willing to put in the work

Over the next few weeks we will continue providing you tips on how to create a podcast that grows your business.

How You Can Make Podcasting Absolutely Enjoyable!

You Can Make Podcasting Absolutely Enjoyable!

You Can Make Podcasting Absolutely Enjoyable!

How You Can Make Podcasting Absolutely Enjoyable!

When my mentor suggested that I start podcasting, it seemed like another chore to add to my list of things to do.  I understood that podcasting would give me more visibility. I understood that podcasting would give me authority status in my niche. I also understood that podcasting would help me build relationships. That part sounded great. But where would I find time to add one more thing to my business-building repertoire!

So, with great hesitation, I began a weekly podcast about a year ago. As with anything new, I had to learn the ropes. There were a few glitches at first. However, once I established a rhythm for the podcast everything began to flow. It took the right mindset and strategy. Now I absolutely enjoy podcasting.

You can make podcasting absolutely enjoyable, too.  Here are a few of the reasons I enjoy podcasting. You may find the same reasons will motivate you to start and consistently make fun, impactful, and useful podcasts.

1. You Can Podcast from Home

 First, I can podcast from home. How convenient is that! I wear comfortable clothes, sit in my office, and chat away. I can interact with my tribe without getting on an airplane. I do not have to take time away from the other things in my life

2. You Can Podcast When It is Convenient

Second, I can choose a convenient time and day of week to podcast. I can schedule an interview during the day or night whenever it is most convenient to me and my guest. The scheduling flexibility is one of the key benefits of producing your own podcast.

3. You Can Pick the Topic

Third, I can pick the topic of the podcast. Having the freedom to give voice to the issues that interest me and my tribe is liberating. As an entrepreneur, you get to define the scope of what you offer. Sometimes those choices work out well. Other picks may not be quite as popular. In any case, the choice is yours.

 Conclusion

You can make podcasting absolutely enjoyable too! The choice is yours. Will it be a drudge or will it be enjoyable?

Remember,

  • You can podcast at home.
  • You can podcast when it is convenient.
  • You can  pick the topic.

How to Easily Start Your Own Awesome Podcast

How to Easily Start Your Own Awesome Podcast

How to Easily Start Your Own Awesome Podcast

How to Easily Start Your Own Awesome Podcast

You can easily start your own awesome podcast by following a few time-proven strategies. When I started podcasting last year, the naysayers thought that I would quit. I thought that I might run out of interesting things to talk about. But after more than 35 episodes, I am still podcasting. I have proven the naysayers to be wrong.

You too can consistently and easily produce a fun, informative, awesome podcast. In this episode of My Biz Dream Team: Opportunity Wednesday Training Series, Dexter and I discuss how to easily start your own podcast that your audience will find valuable.

1.   Planning and Preparation

First, it all begins with planning and preparation. Determine who is your target audience. What problems do they have that you plan to address? Dexter and I target people who are looking to leave their 9-5 jobs who want to become online entrepreneurs. Take a few minutes to carefully think about your target audience and get to know them well before you launch your podcast.

2.   Develop a Structure for Your Podcast

Second, you must develop a structure for your podcast. Podcasting is not ranting on the air. Plan for an opening, middle, and end. This is a production. You want to script it out, so that everything flows smoothly.

3.   Invite Interesting Guests

Third, you must invite interesting quests. Or you can have a co-host like I have on my podcast. Having a mix of voices and interesting topics makes your podcast much more enjoyable for your audience. It is also more fun to you.

Conclusion

You can easily start an awesome podcast by following this advice. With the right planning and preparation, you can have an awesome podcast that grows your authority status and increases your visibility.

How to Avoid Making an Amateur Podcasting Mistake

Podcasting: How to Avoid Making an Amateur Podcasting Mistake

Podcasting: How to Avoid Making an Amateur Podcasting Mistake

How to Avoid Making an Amateur Podcasting Mistake

 

Avoid making an amateur podcasting mistake that could sabotage your program before you begin. Do not be like the thousands of people who start podcasting with passion and enthusiasm, only to lose interest and abandon the project.  Here are some of the most common podcasting mistakes that you should avoid if you want to create a fun, successful, and impactful podcast.

Amateur Podcasting Mistake #1: Failing to speak to your target audience

If you are speaking to everyone, then you are speaking to no one. Before you begin, decide who you want to help. What segment of the population would most benefit from what you offer? Then target them with content that speaks to their problems and interests. Be open and authentic to connect with your target audience.

Amateur Podcasting Mistake #2: Failing to script your podcasts

Hopefully you know that podcasting is not about ranting on the air. You must plan what you will say. Give your podcast a structure. You need a beginning, middle and end to your program. At the beginning, you make an introduction, a few warm-up statements, and state the topic of the podcast episode. The middle of the podcast episode will be the key points and content that will help your target audience. Create great content to build your authority status. The end of the program should include a summary, closing statements, and at least one call to action.

Amateur Podcasting Mistake #3: Failing to set a goal for each episode

Every episode of your podcast needs a goal. As you plan and script your podcast, decide what are you trying to achieve with the episode. Do you want more  traffic to your web site? Do you want more subscribers for your podcast? It is important to set a specific goal at the outset, so that you can measure your results.

Amateur Podcasting Mistake #4: Failing to make a clear call to action

Every episode of your podcast needs a clear call to action. Once you have set a goal for your podcast, it is easier to craft a clear call to action. Tell your audience what you want them to do after hearing the podcast. For example, your call to action could be:

·       “like” on Facebook,

·       share on Twitter,

·       subscribe to your podcast, or

·       take advantage of your offer at a URL.

Amateur Podcasting Mistake #5: Trying to do it all yourself

Do not try to do everything yourself. This will put a lot of pressure on you. It could also bore your listeners. Make a list of people you would love to have on the show as a guest to chat with or to interview. Get advice from someone who has experience with podcasting on how to produce a fun, impactful, and successful podcast.

 Conclusion

If want to have a successful, fun, and impactful podcast, avoid making these amateur mistakes:

·       Failing to speak to your target audience

·       Failing to script your podcast

·       Failing to set a goal for your podcasts

·       Failing to make a clear call to action

·       Trying to do it all yourself.

If you avoid these amateur mistakes, you should soon have a fun, successful, and impactful that you can be proud of.

Podcasting Strategies: Tips on Making a Positive Impression

Podcasting Strategies

Podcasting Strategies

Podcasting Strategies

On the most recent episode of “My Biz Dream Team: Opportunity Wednesday” we discussed several key strategies for producing a successful podcast series. We also emphasized the importance of producing a podcast to increase your visibility as an entrepreneur, author, speaker, or small business owner.  Having a podcast series increases your authority also. This post will briefly summarize the podcasting strategies discussed during the most recent episodes.

Summary of Podcasting Strategies

Have you ever considered producing a podcast series?

On this episode we discussed several podcasting strategies such as:

1)      Make your podcast using expert guests at least 20-30 minutes long.  Consider that your guest is committing not only to the podcast, but the preparation time as well.  The podcast should be sufficiently long to make it worth her time and attention.

2)      Prepare a fabulous introduction of your guest.  You want to make your guest feel confident, complimented, and appreciated. Make sure that your podcast is fun and informative. Your guest and your audience should know that you are glad that they are participating.

3)      Practice active listening during the interview. Be sure to let your guest get her thoughts out. Take time to listen. You may want to ask a few clarifying questions from time to time.

Think about each of these points and leave us a comment below.  Also share with us a link to your web site.

On the previous episode of “My Biz Dream Team: Opportunity Wednesday” we discussed the importance of preparation in producing a highly successful podcast series.  You can listen to last week’s episode here.
