Welcome to Season 2 of MPM!Season 2 is going to be focused on Mastering the Business of Podcasting! You asked and we listened. The episodes we got the most feedback on last year were the episodes that looked at ways to monetize your podcast and have our podcast be a key part of your brand.This season we are going to dive deeper into the many ways that your podcast can be a key part of your brand. We are talking to experts like: Arielle Nissenblatt about Marketing Your Podcast, Jennifer Navarette about Web3 and Podcasting 2.0, Zach & Rock from SquadCast about automations that can help your workflow, Jess Kupferman about building a community, and so many other experts that have their podcast as a key part of their business.We also want to bring you along on our monetization journey and how we are building our brand and our business with our podcast. Some exciting things have been happening over here at KaSa Media- and we have learned important lessons along the way that we think will help you to think creatively about how your podcast can be a vital part of your business!As you know, we have a membership group to support podcasters. This thriving community is growing and we are adding more levels to this membership group! In talking with our community, we learned that there are people who would be served by joining a micro-membership and there are people that would like a higher-level business focused membership. We are adding both of those in the next month and we cannot wait to tell you about it! Our lessons we learn will help you to start a successful membership as well.We stopped offering our key course…this was a hard decision but a very important one. Our key program- Launching & Leveraging Your Podcast for Accelerated Success was a 10 week program- and it was wonderful!!!! Yet- our focus has changed and shifted and it was important for us to remain focused. We are now creating a low-cost, evergreen program to help people launch their podcasts. We can't wait to tell you what we learn from that process!Finally, we have leaned into David's audio/visual expertise and Tiphany's professional development/course creation expertise to bring our business focus on helping people create video courses. We are launching a Mastermind with a focus on teaching people about course creation and memberships as a vital and profitable way to monetize your podcast. We are also creating video courses for companies!!! In these past few months we worked with SquadCast to create a 9 part Welcome Video Series to help their new users learn how best to utilize the platform and we are working this Hindenburg on a certification program! We learned that leaning into your unique skillsets to solve someone's problem is a powerful way to grow a business!We are excited about sharing our lessons with you in season 2 as well as bringing you into the conversations we are having with industry experts. We look forward to hearing from you about the questions you have when it comes to building your brand and having a business mindset with your podcast.

New Year, new goals! As we start a new year it is so powerful to plan what the focus for the new year will be. David & Tiphany give you a behind the scenes "look" at what our podcasting goals for 2023 are.Fun back story: Mastering the Podcaster Mindset podcast was created in 2021 as a way to support our podcast students and our membership group. We noticed that the people in our community had many questions that needed to be answered and we felt a podcast was a terrific way to answer those questions.With that purpose, we never marketed this podcast outside of that group. YET...the Mastering the Podcaster Mindset audience continued to grow and grow! So for 2023 we are experimenting with some growth strategies to see if we can continue to grow our podcast audience.We are:Starting a YouTube ChannelBecoming more regular with bloggingPromoting the Podcast on social media outside of just our Facebook communityFocusing on live meetups and conferences to make in-person connectionsOther episodes you will enjoy:Benefits of Attending Podfest Expo- we love this episode!

Many "experts" will tell you that you need thousands of downloads before you can even think of monetizing your podcast. We respectfully disagree. Giant download numbers were never anything we found we needed to have our podcast start making us money.New podcasters and podcasters with smaller shows just need to be creative. We like focusing on these things when thinking about monetizing your podcast:Building strong, authentic connections with your audienceLearning what your audience needs and wants from youCreating content that brings value to your audienceIf you focus on those things and have a creative, curious mindset- monetizing is pretty darn easy!The number one way we found to monetize a podcast is...... creating a course, masterclass, membership and/or retreat.This topic is so rich that we decided to break it up into two parts.

This is part 2 of a 2 part interview. Continuing our conversation with Gordon Firemark. Entertainment lawyer, Podcast law expert, and one of the best voices in the industry. Gordon has been a podcaster for more than a decade and is known as The Podcast Lawyer. We ask him 3 big podcast legal questions: Q1- Do you need a guest release? Q2- Podcasts about personal life, personal stories about traumatic events- do they have to worry about libel when sharing personal story? Ex: Amber Heard & Johnny Depp… Q3- Can I read books on my podcast? And Gordon gives us his most important bits of legal advice: Be professional- 1) set it up like a biz…agreements, LLC 2) have agreements/contracts with whoever you are working with or laws will assume you are joint owners 3) Trademark your title- be distinctive in your title, descriptiveness in title won't allow for trademark 4) Monetizing- clearly document relationships with customers and partners.

What if there are already too many podcasts about my topic? This question was asked in our Mastering the Art of Podcasting Membership group by a new podcaster that was worried about the podcast market being saturated. This conversation prompted an experiment. What if we gave everyone the same topic and asked you to record a mini-episode about that topic? We assigned the topic of "chocolate chip cookies" to prove our point: We all come to a topic with different backgrounds, life experiences, a variety of interests, and vastly differing viewpoints. Enjoy this fun episode that is the result!

Today David & I sat down to batch record several podcast episodes and as soon as we started recording the following things happened: The community gardeners decided to trim the bushes right outside the window with very loud power tools The next door neighbors had workers on their balcony with jackhammers! The trash truck came by to collect trash We quickly realized that all of our recording plans were now up in flames. Thankfully, David had gear to be able to record remotely. he gathered all the gear together and we walked down to the lake to record in the sunshine. Our gear: Zoom F8N Field Recorder Shure beta57a supercardioid Neumann KMS-105 supercardioid Thank you to Focusrite for sponsoring this podcast. The Vocaster One and Vocaster Two are also amazing interfaces that make recording remotely simple and fun.

Building a brand around your podcast that makes people feel seen, heard, and that they identify with is important. People want to be a part of the community you are creating. It makes them feel connected. When people feel connected, they feel like they have found their tribe. This is part 2 of our interview with Caila Litman. https://player.captivate.fm/episode/fae9ba34-0a2a-4144-9c37-d31b75ec3625 (Click here to listen to part 1.) Advice from Caila about creating a lifestyle brand: Start with “Do what inspires you, energizes you, lights you up Everyone is looking for new ways to be discovered by the individual- word of mouth is the number one way to grow- word of mouth can create a ground swell discoverability Publish to youtube- Youtube has great discoverability Podcast listeners more open, curiosity based, less worried about how perceived by the world Desire for community is high among podcast listeners- It is a passive form of engagement to be a member of the podcast community so it is very appealing. Overlap of community and advertising/sponsorships- storytelling ad reads (like listening from a friend- recommendations are remembered easier than random ads) Big audience does not mean quality audience Connect with Caila Litman: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CailaTess (cailatess) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cailalitman/ (Caila Litman) Read Caila's https://soundsprofitable.com/update/good-data-back-to-basics (article here) Connect with us: Join our FREE Facebook community: https://www.subscribepage.com/podcastmindset_freegroup (Mastering the Podcaster Mindset Support Group) Get the Guide “https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/m8c3s5 (The Biggest Mistake Podcaster Make and How to Avoid It)”:  DM us on IG: @https://www.instagram.com/podcastermindset/ (podcastermindset) ------- Edited by: David Sais, The Sexy Sound Guy Produced by: KaSa Media Productions, LLC

(Part 1 of a 2 part interview) Our guest this week is Caila Litman. Caila is a journalist, producer, Marketing & Brand Development Manager championing audio in the corporate world. Caila is passionate about the power of audio and has dedicated her career to promoting and educating people about podcasting. We read an article Caila wrote and immediately became fascinated with the concept. Caila wrote that podcasts are lifestyle brands. Here are a few takeaways from our conversation with Caila: Mindset: You have to believe that your podcast is a lifestyle brand so that you can create content and promote your podcast in such a way that people WANT to have you as part of their personal identity Millennial culture is dominated by social media and people signaling what they value by what they purchase & consume. What you consume & what you like is a big part of your identity- podcasts become part of that identity. As a podcaster, think about how you want to reach your audience like Lulu Lemon does- what do you want to present to the world/what do you care about/what is your personal brand? The whole idea of fitting in is not as valuable to the new generation- what do people really care about? How has society shifted?

A perfectionist is someone who has a personality that strives for flawlessness. This is often accomplished through fixating on imperfections, trying to control situations, working hard, or being critical of the self or others. I personally am a recovering perfectionist. 3 Traits of Perfection that can hold you back: Setting unrealistic standards Focusing on RESULTS rather than the JOURNEY Fear of failure which can lead to procrastination & avoidance Podcasting is not for everyone, but if you feel called to create a podcast don't let perfectionism stop you. Get started, do it messy, have fun, pivot, change, learn, fail, and grow. If you can embrace the process then podcasting can be fun, rewarding, expansive, and open new doors to opportunities you never knew existed before.

Last week we interviewed Chris Krimitsos, the founder of Podfest Expo- the largest podcast conference in the world. He said something about having a small audience that really stuck with us… Chris Krimitsos said “You're lucky if you get 10 downloads a show out of the gate, right? I would look at that 10 downloads and think to myself, how can I love up on these individuals? So I could get to 15 or 20 downloads…” We are going to dig into that more today- how do we take a tiny audience, love on them & nurture them and grow that audience into a larger audience?

Last week we interviewed Chris Krimitsos, the founder of Podfest Expo- the largest podcast conference in the world. He said something about having a small audience that really stuck with us…Chris Krimitsos said “You're lucky if you get 10 downloads a show out of the gate, right? I would look at that 10 downloads and think to myself, how can I love up on these individuals? So I could get to 15 or 20 downloads…”We are going to dig into that more today- how do we take a tiny audience, love on them & nurture them and grow that audience into a larger audience?Connect with listeners individually-Create content in response to your listener feedbackCreate an interactive social media space- Ask for your listeners to submit questions to guests that are coming onSeek your audience outListen to our interview with Chris Krimitsos: Episode 29Learn More about the Podcast Editing Concierge Membership click hereWe love our audience and would love to connect with you in person!!!

We are passionate about the power of a strong, engaged community. We are also passionate about harnessing the power of networking to grow your audience, grow your craft, and grow your knowledge. This week's guest is Chris Krimitsos, founder of Podfest Expo. Podfest Expo is the world's largest podcast conference- they even hold the Guinness Book of World Records for 2 years in a row!!! Today we talk to Chris about how Podfest Expo started as a grassroots event and grew to the "must-attend" event it is today. Our Takeaways: Podfest started organically to help the people he got started. Don't close doors ahead of time- take the meeting and decide after. Listen to the community and design what they want. Give ownership to the community. Community comes first.  Chris' advice to new podcasters comes from his book called “Start Ugly”. Start ugly and learn along the process- 1)get rid of failure concept- trial & error. Get an education about podcasting. 2)Biggest podcasters are not on their first concept- they pivot and grow. 3)Look at 10 downloads- how can I love on these individuals, nurture community and grow to 15. It is crucial that podcasters meet one & other. 1) connect with peers 2) see what is going on across the industry 3) trade shows to see what is happening across the industry.

Today we get to talk about the best techniques to get more podcast reviews. Reviews and ratings create visibility. The more visible you are, the more listeners you have the possibility of reaching. You'll also become more visible to potential sponsors and advertisers. Platforms like Apple podcasts and Stitcher are controlled by algorithms, so your overall ranking and algorithm include rankings and reviews.  Podcast reviews also influence social proof. Low ratings repel, and higher ratings attract. You need your cheerleaders to raise you up. When one person acknowledges your greatness, others naturally start to see it as well. It gives you a prequalified authority without having to prove it. The 5 techniques we've found helpful for getting more reviews are: Explore your mindset barriers Have a clear, direct call to action Ask friends, fans, & people in your network to leave reviews Shout out listeners that leave reviews Have a contest or giveaway Apps to leave ratings & reviews: Apple podcasts Castbox Podchaser Podcast Addict Stitcher Goodpods For a limited time, we are opening the doors to our membership group to you, dear listener.

Podcasting can be a very isolating activity. As the podcaster, we often sit alone in front of our computer - doing hours of research, staying on top of social media engagement, building our website, the list goes on. We sit alone behind our mic when we record hoping we are saying things in a way that will resonate with our audience. Often this process can make us feel alone, isolated, and unsure of what we are doing. These feelings of isolation can also build up to frustration- wondering if we are doing it all wrong. Imposter syndrome can kick in- is anyone even listening? Is my message resonating? So how do we continue to do this thing we love- podcasting…without feeling isolated, frustrated, or confused? We found the best way to alleviate all of these issues is to be an active member of a community of individuals with similar goals. Being an active, engaged member of a community like this can turn an isolating activity like podcasting into a connected and exhilarating venture..

How many episodes should I have before I launch? This question gets asked so many times in every podcasting forum that we participate in and the number varies widely! There are people that say they have 20-30 episodes already recorded and ready to upload. There are people saying they record the same week or even day that they post a podcast episode.  Batch recording is a term used to describe recording several podcast episodes at once. A “batch” is a group… like baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies. In summary: Batch recording in small batches is very helpful to keeping a systematized workflow and lowering the stress of uploading and staying consistent. But be aware that you are not batch recording so many episodes that you do not stay in alignment with your audience's pain points or your areas of interest. Especially in your first 6 months of podcasting, you will grow and change so much that it is important to stay nimble. General recommendation: when launching have your trailer and 2-3 episodes ready to upload so that when you launch people have a few episodes to listen to. From then, try keep at least 2 weeks ahead of schedule so that you do not have to stress about consistently uploading. Because as you all know, consistency matters.
