I don't know about you, but when listening to podcast sometimes the introduction will turn me off. I don't like profanity, alot of ha ha and hee hee giggling or loud background noises but that's just me. The introduction to your show and to your episode is so important. The intro is what will determine if a listener will continue investing their time into listening to the rest of your show.  Remember that you only get one chance to make a lasting impression so it's important to nail it quickly. Remember my podcast episode, “Hook em and Book em”?  You have to convince your listeners to invest their time and if you have failed to impress them with the introduction, you'll fail to capture new listeners and grow your show.In this episode I am sharing the important topics that should be included when creating an intro to a podcastPodcast NamePodcast DescriptionHost(s) NameSponsorsMusicCTAPlease feel free to leave a review and to share this episode of the Delaware Blogger Podcast with your family, your friends, your bae and your boo too !  I invite you to take a look at my blog, https://delblogger.com because there you'll find the link to purchase a copy of the Podcasting Your Purpose Resource Guide and links to previous episodes.Support the showIf you are ready to start a podcast and need assistance, please send an email to info@ablakeenterprises.com and you can find and follow me on all my social media platforms at https://linktr.ee/ablakeenterprises

Podcasts are a great way to get your message out to a wide audience. They can be used to educate, entertain, and inform listeners. But if you want to make sure your podcast is successful, you need to include a call to action. A call to action is a statement or request that encourages listeners to take a specific action. It can be as simple as asking them to subscribe to your podcast or share it with their friends.A CTA or Call To Action is important for podcasts because it helps to keep listeners engaged and encourages them to take action. It also helps to build relationships with your audience and encourages them to come back for more. Without a call to action, listeners may not know what to do after listening to your podcast. They may forget about it or move on to something else.A few CTA examples include:“Check out the link in the description”“Subscribe to my show”“Click the notification button”“Comment on our website”“Visit this episode's show notes”Word of mouth is still one of the major ways that podcasts gain listenership, and that's why including a request to tell others is still the most popular CTA.When creating a call to action for your podcast, it's important to make it clear and concise. You want to make sure that listeners understand what you're asking them to do. You also want to make sure that it's relevant to the content of your podcast. For example, if you're talking about a new product, you might ask listeners to visit your website to learn more.It's also important to make sure that your call to action is timely. If you're talking about a new product, you want to make sure that listeners know that they need to act now. You don't want them to forget about it or wait until it's too late.Finally, you want to make sure that your call to action is easy to follow. You don't want to make it too complicated or overwhelming. You want to make sure that listeners can easily understand what you're asking them to do.A call to action is an important part of any podcast. It helps to keep listeners engaged and encourages them to take action. It also helps to build relationships with your audience and encourages them to come back for more. By including a call to action in your podcast, you can ensure that your message is heard and that your listeners take action.So take a listen to this episode to hear more about why and what you should ask your listeners to do after they hear an episode.Thank you all for listening to today's episode of the Delaware Blogger Podcast, and if you found anything that I said of interest to you, please subscribe and share with others, you may even want to leave a rating or a review and check out a few other episodes while you are here too.I invite you to subscribe to my blog - Delblogger.com where you will find more blogging tips and podcasting pointers as well as the links to purchase your copy of Basic Blogging Tips for Beginners or Podcasting Your Purpose Workbook on Amazon.I also invite you to send an email to info@ablakeenterprises.com to schedule a 15-Minute Complimentary Discovery Call or enroll in the 5-week podcast coaching sessions for blogging or podcasting support.Until the next time, this is the DE Divah aka the Delaware Blogger - have a beautifully blessed day.
