Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Phillipa Channer, and this week we're wrapping up our April series all about content pillars. Over the past few weeks, we've defined your content pillars (Episode 174), aligned them with your business goals (Episode 175), and discussed how to create engaging content around them (Episode 176). If you missed any of those, I highly recommend going back—they really set the foundation for today's conversation. Today, we're talking about a natural next step in your content journey: how to evolve your content pillars as your audience and business grow. Because here's the truth—what worked six months ago might not work now. And that's not a problem—it's progress. Your content pillars shouldn't be static. As your audience's needs, interests, and demographics shift—and as your business evolves—your strategy has to evolve, too. This episode is all about recognizing when it's time for a shift, how to do it effectively, and why evolving your content is actually a sign of growth. Let's dig into the key takeaways and steps for making sure your content pillars are always working for you—not holding you back. (01:00) Why Evolution is Key to Content Strategy Your audience isn't staying the same—and your content shouldn't either. Evolving your pillars ensures your brand remains: Relevant by addressing new audience needs Aligned with your business growth and new goals Engaging because you're meeting your audience where they are now, not where they were (02:00) Sign 1: Shifting Audience Demographics Maybe you're attracting a different age group, industry, or business size. ✨ Action Step: Review your analytics regularly to catch shifts early and adjust your pillars to reflect your new audience. (03:00) Sign 2: Industry Trends or Hot Topics Platforms and preferences change. If TikTok's on the rise or your industry shifts toward video, that's a clue. ✨ Action Step: Stay on top of trends and ask yourself how each one could evolve into a new or updated content pillar. (03:40) Sign 3: Changing Business Goals Launching a new product? Adding a service? Your content pillars should follow suit. ✨ Action Step: Revisit your business goals quarterly to ensure your content strategy is pointing in the right direction. (04:20) Sign 4: Audience Feedback and Requests If you're hearing the same questions over and over—it might be time to turn that into a new pillar. ✨ Action Step: Use surveys, polls, or social DMs to gather direct feedback on what your audience wants more of. (05:00) Step 1: Audit Your Existing Content What's performing? What feels outdated? ✨ Action Step: Categorize your content by pillar and review engagement metrics to identify what's thriving and what's fading. (05:40) Step 2: Experiment with New Ideas Test before you invest. You don't have to fully commit right away. ✨ Action Step: Try out 1–2 pieces of content around a potential new theme and watch how your audience reacts. (06:20) Step 3: Let Go of What No Longer Works Sometimes we outgrow content pillars—and that's okay. ✨ Action Step: Slowly reduce content under outdated pillars and reallocate your energy toward new, high-performing ones. (06:50) Step 4: Involve Your Audience in the Process Make it a two-way conversation. Your community will appreciate being part of your evolution. ✨ Action Step: Share BTS content, run polls, or ask them directly what they want to see next. Final Thoughts Evolving your content pillars isn't about reinventing the wheel—it's about refining your message to better connect, serve, and grow. When you take the time to audit, experiment, and listen, your content becomes not just relevant, but powerful. Thanks for joining me throughout our April content pillar series. I hope these episodes help you build a strategy that scales with you. And remember, the Self-Paced EmpowerHer Program is here to support you every step of the way—with expert guidance, templates, and tools that let you work at your own pace. Until next time, keep shining—and let your content grow as you grow.

THE SECRET TO BECOMING MAGNETIC So many content creators struggle to gain an audience. The problem is that you're chasing people rather than being magnetic and attracting them to you. There is a difference between pursuing and attracting. When you only create content, you need to continuously put that content in front of people. In this episode, we discuss how to become someone worth listening to.   00:00 Attract, Don't Chase, Audience Growth 05:43 Kelsea Ballerini's Genuine Charisma 08:10 Kelsey's Special Selfie Moment 09:47 Kelsey's Quest for Radio Airplay 14:50 Podcast Growth and Community Success 17:17 Context Over Content in Creation 21:46 Dull Architecture Class vs. Engaging History Teacher 24:58 Reviving Human Connection Movement 28:08 Focus on Impact, Not Overload 30:49 Dismissive Critique of Experience 33:35 Goal-Setting and Success Support   In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I dive into what it truly means to "Be Magnetic." It's not just about chasing an audience but rather attracting them effortlessly by being authentically you. Drawing from my own experiences in the podcasting world and the entertainment industry, I highlight how being genuine and embracing your unique qualities can set you apart. It's like dating – being needy can push people away. Instead, embrace who you are, and let your authenticity draw people to you. Become magnetic. STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT LIKE KELSEA I was recently inspired by a Kelsea Ballerini concert. Not only did she captivate a full arena with her presence, but she also made each person feel connected to her personal stories and songs. Kelsea's ability to make everyone feel special exemplifies the power of relatability and personal storytelling. Your podcast can have the same magnetic effect. It's about personality, engagement, and making your audience feel seen and heard. Kelsea's journey shows that the personal connections we make with our audiences are the real stars of the show. DISCOVER YOUR STRONG FOUNDATION As I reflected on my journey, I realized how crucial it is to focus on helping people become voices of influence. This episode is a call to remember the roots and mission of why you chose to share your content – to connect and communicate your unique message! Your content should resonate with your personal brand and maintain authenticity. Just like Kelsea's pop-infused country tracks are true to her, your content should reflect your own unique voice and perspective. Your podcast will naturally become a beacon for your tribe when it's founded on the real you. BREAK FREE TO BE MEMORABLE AND MAGNETIC We venture through the challenge of avoiding falling into the trap of merely fulfilling requests as podcasters. It's not enough to just deliver content; you must be someone worth listening to. It's about creating a legacy-like influence where your presence is unforgettable. This episode is packed with tips to free yourself from the shackles of traditional formats and embrace new, innovative ways to share stories. Be remarkable. Create content that stands out, and in turn, you'll foster relationships with your audience. EXPLODE YOUR AUTHENTICITY Want to go from chasing downloads to exploding your audience organically? It begins with embracing your authenticity and confidently broadcasting it to the world.

You're not creating content for content sake. You're building a platform that will command attention. To succeed, you need to become someone worth listening to. COMMAND ATTENTION BY BECOMING SOMEONE WORTH LISTENING TO In today's episode, we dive into the importance of becoming someone worth listening to. It's the only way to command attention. It's not about having the perfect microphone or even launching the slickest podcast. It's about who you are and how you connect with your audience. Your success requires stepping into the spotlight authentically and creating a platform that will command attention. Let's explore how you can attract listeners and build impactful relationships by truly being yourself. COMMAND ATTENTION WITH THE POWER OF PRESENCE It's all about presence, not just the platform. We often get caught up in the technicalities of podcasting, from RSS feeds to sound quality, but those aren't the cornerstones of success. The true power lies in who you are when you're on the mic. I shared my journey in radio, learning the importance of presence from legendary hosts who commanded rooms. Your voice and personality are what make your podcast resonate. By leaning into your unique identity, you can become someone people not only enjoy but remember. This is how you command attention. UNIQUE VOICE, UNIQUE SUCCESS Finding your unique voice is key to distinguishing yourself from the sea of sameness. I spoke about how I transitioned from imitating others to discovering my own identity in radio. This critical shift allowed me to build a connection with my audience. When I made my shift, people began recognizing me on the street. This was not because I was famous, but because they felt they knew me through my stories and genuine engagement. The same principle applies to your content. To command attention, embrace your uniqueness and share your journey. This will grow your influence. DON'T SETTLE FOR JUST AN AUDIENCE Growing your audience isn't just about numbers; it's about creating raving fans who would follow you anywhere. Many content creators struggle because they aim for listeners rather than influence. When I worked with hosts like Oscar Trimboli, a listening expert, we transformed his show to highlight his expertise and personality. This in turn, drew in an audience keen on his insights. It's about moving beyond mere content to establish trust and authority with your listeners. LET ME HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS Being worth listening to in order to command attention isn't something that happens overnight. It requires strategy and commitment to share who you authentically are. That's why I'm here as your coach. Whether you're just starting or looking to level up, let me guide you. Together, we can refine your approach and uncover the aspects of your personality that captivate your audience. Visit podcasttalentcoach.com/apply for a personalized coaching session. Let's turn your podcast into a platform that leaves a lasting impact so you can command attention.

Sharing yourself on your podcast is the way to build relationships with your audience. However, you need to be careful what you share. SHARE YOURSELF AUTHENTICALLY We have group calls twice a month inside the Podcast Profits Accelerator. This is where a group of podcasters are growing the audience and business. You can see details at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/accelerator. On a call the other night, one of the members asked what they should share and how much. What you share on your podcast needs to be strategic. It should reinforce your brand. What you share should build relationships. DESI SAW US AS FRIENDS When I was on the radio, it was my goal to get my listeners to see me as their friend. They would take me with them everywhere they went by listening to me on the radio. I was on the local Top 40 radio station and had a girl who would call me often. She had a severe developmental disability. It affected her speech which made her difficult to understand. When I couldn't understand what she was saying, it would make it ridiculous to make her laugh. She may be asking it I could play 'Nsync. I would say, "Did I lick the kitchen sink?" Desi would laugh and laugh that I couldn't get it right. We would break it down by word until I finally got it. Some days were better than others. She was in a wheelchair. Her assistant at the home where she lived would sometimes bring Desi to see me at remote broadcasts when she was up to it. I would give Desi some of the t-shirts and prizes we were giving away and have a little fun. SHE FOLLOWED ME I then moved to the country station in town. Desi moved with me and would continue to call. However, her call were becoming less frequent. Her health was starting to decline. We still talked and laughed. She had new songs to request, and I still got it wrong. Then one day Desi's assistant called to tell me Desi was moving to a new facility and wanted me to know. She gave me Desi's new address so I could write her which I did. Just a quick note to tell her I hoped she was doing well. That was the last time I heard from Desi. Her calls stopped after that. I just hope I added a little smile to her day every once in awhile. That's what can happen when you share yourself with your listener. DON'T SHARE TOO MUCH On the other hand, it can be dangerous when you share too much. Don't share you address or the school of your small children. You don't want to share when you are going on vacation and won't be home. Avoid sharing anything that could make you vulnerable. Most people in the world are nice. They have no ill will against you. However, some are crazy and evil. There are people who may not like what you say or think you are better friends than you really are. You don't want to live in fear. But you also don't want to leave yourself exposed. I DIDN'T MEAN TO SHARE MY BABY It happened to me when we were having our first child. I was working at the Top 40 station at the time. My wife and I were expecting our first baby. She went into the hospital on a Friday morning to deliver our little girl. This wasn't something I share much about on the radio. I did mention a few times we were expecting. That Friday I wasn't on the air. Our little girl came into the world with little complication. She was beautiful. Saturday morning we woke up and were discussion our departure from the hospital. My wife was still in bed with our daughter. We were waiting for the doctor to come by the room. Around lunch, a visitor appeared at the door. It was a high school girl who listened to the station and called often. She had brought a gift for the baby. It was quite awkward. We chatted politely for a few minutes. Then I stood up to thank her for coming and politely escorted her back to the elevator. Trouble was averted. But it was a little crazy that she even knew where we were. 2 LADIES TALKING SEX It can happen to you if you are diligent about what you share. Sometimes that includes protecting your identity depending on your content. One year a Podcast Movement, Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting and I were standing in the lobby of the hotel deciding which panel to attend next. That's when two twenty-something ladies approached us. They had recognized us and had questions about their podcast. The two proceeded to tell us they hosted a very popular podcast about sex. They both used different names on the podcast. Aliases. The podcast was becoming very popular. Their brand was growing. Now these young ladies wanted to know if they should start using their real names to build their personal brands or continue using the aliases. Dave and I both suggested they continue to use the aliases. The content of their show could potentially attract the wrong people to be superfans. They surely didn't want a dangerous individual showing up unexpectedly that could do them harm. Use good judgement. SHARE YOUR BRAND So, what do you share and how much? Begin by writing your origin story. How did you develop your superpower? When did you discover you have the ability to do what you do? Write all of it. Then, find the pieces of that origin story that support your brand and your foundational principles. Demonstrate what you stand for and what you stand against. Drip pieces of your origin story into your content episode after episode. People will get to know you over time. And more importantly, get to know your brand. I share many of things I've encountered over my 35 years in radio and dozen years in podcasting. We talk about the people I've met and the challenges I've encountered. You know I love hockey and live in the Midwest. We talk about my passion about adding more relationships to the world, because I see my kids lacking powerful relationships due to technology. On the other hand, I'm not telling you my address or where my wife works. I didn't tell you I was spending a week in Colorado skiing in January before I went there. It's not that I don't trust you. I just don't need someone showing up at my hotel room or worse yet, showing up at my house while I'm not home.  Use common sense about what you share. Share your beliefs and values. Share stories that support those beliefs. Don't share personal information that could put you in danger. Share to build the brand and attract your ideal clients.   If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a chat with me.

In this episode of CLIPPED, Eric's breaking down the ten thousand hour rule and why so many agency owners, freelancers, and online coaches struggle to find success. If you're not seeing results, it might be because you haven't put in the reps—yet. This episode dives into what the 10,000-hour rule really means, how mastery requires time and effort, and why so many people try to skip the hard work. Eric also shares his own 10,000-hour journey—from running errands at recording studios to building a podcast production company. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why cutting corners leads to failure and what you need to do to actually get good at your craft. A Word From Our Sponsor: This podcast is sponsored by Riverside.fm—my favorite platform for recording high-quality remote podcasts and videos. With 4K video recording, AI-powered tools like Magic Clips and automated transcriptions, and seamless audio syncing, Riverside makes content creation easier than ever. Try it out at Riverside.fm and enter promo code CLIPPED for 20% off. The 10,000-Hour Rule: Key Takeaways What is the 10,000-Hour Rule? Popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, this concept suggests that true mastery takes at least 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Becoming great at something requires repetition, failure, and continuous learning. Professionals don't cut corners—they put in the work and develop real expertise. Why Are Agency Owners and Coaches Struggling? Lack of Real Skills: Many jump into business without actually mastering a craft. Selling Theory, Not Experience: Too many coaches sell courses or strategies they've never implemented themselves. Shortcut Mentality: AI tools and quick hacks can't replace the years of experience needed to develop true expertise. Eric's 10,000-Hour Journey in Audio Started interning at 17 Hertz Studios in North Hollywood—running errands, setting up mics, and learning the ropes. Worked at Paramount Recording Studios, recording, editing, and getting yelled at (a lot). Transitioned to podcasting in 2015, building The Podcast Haven from the ground up. Cold-emailed hundreds of podcasters, landed clients like Kimberly Snyder and Paychecks & Balances, and grew a sustainable business through years of hard work. How to Actually Get Good at Something Do the work before you sell the solution—learn by doing, not by theory. Master the tools of your industry—whether it's Pro Tools, Google Ads, or video editing software. Go through the struggle—get used to high-pressure situations, criticism, and iteration. Test, fail, refine, repeat—real mastery comes from constant improvement over time. Listen To Past Podcast Episodes: How To Record a Video Podcast On Your iPhone: Easily Podcast In 4K!

Tannen wants to know how to create a solid marketing strategy. Barbara is struggling to get people to subscribe. Ralph doubts he is even reaching anyone. Jeffry wants to know how to get started. The struggle Vanessa is facing is confidence without sounding arrogant. Michael's biggest struggle is finding people to help him. THE MARKETING STRUGGLE My biggest struggle is building a solid marketing strategy? How do I take my show and chop it up for a week's worth of social posts? When do I post them to create consistency? -Tannen There are a variety of AI tools that can help you create chunks of content. Repurposing your content on social media does two things for you. First, it helps you connect with your current listeners keeping them coming back. Next, sharing on social in the right way can help you reach new listeners. This includes TikTok and reels. Most social media only reaches your followers. These two platforms put your content in front of new people who might be interested. To grow your show, you need to find new listeners who don't know you. I recommend you record your podcast on video to begin. Use the video for YouTube to get discovered. You can also repurpose parts of the video for social media content. Then, use the audio from the video as the podcast. Use this for social content as well. Create captioned social media videos, quote cards, audiograms, and social posts. AI can help you create a lot of this. However if you don't have time, you can always pay someone to do it for you. How much is your time worth? Two tools I really like. The fist is CastMagic. You can find my affiliate link at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/castmagic. The other tool I love is Opus.pro. It creates captioned social media videos for your podcast. Find my affiliate link at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/opus. Let me help you. Visit www.podcasttalentcoach.com/editing. You can get a week's worth of social content for every episode. GETTING SUBSCRIBERS My biggest struggle is getting subscriptions. How do I get people to subscribe to my podcast? -Barbara Start with the why. When we try to get people to take action, such as subscribing to your podcast, we often rely too much on logic. People make decisions emotionally. Then, they justify those decisions with logic. When you spend too much time on the steps in your process, the features in your program or the content on your podcast, people don't take action. Nobody cares about your details … yet. Spend more time on the why. Stir emotion. Make your audience care. Then you can get into the details. AM I REACHING ANYONE My biggest podcast struggle right now is actually more of a struggle of faith. I've been doing the show daily for over a year and I sometimes doubt whether it's actually reaching anyone. Since I do a Christian based show, I know that God is always faithful and I simply need to trust in his timing and do the work. It's just hard some days when I look at the analytics. -Ralph Share that on your podcast. Be real. Touch people emotionally. Spittin' Chicklets just shared a piece on their show. It is a show about hockey. Whit is former NHL player Ryan Whitney. Biz is former NHL player and NHL hockey analyst on TNT Paul Bissonette. When they talk about being “in the room”, they are talking about being in the locker room. This audio comes from episode 545. It is an example of remembering why they do it. So Biz was, sitting in the Delta Lounge, I believe, at the airport, and a guy came over and dropped off this letter. I'm gonna read it to you quick because Biz sent it over to the guys. He said, “I listened to you guys when my life was falling apart. Just having the pot on in the background made me feel like I was back in the room. At sometimes, I was as bad as it gets with mental health, family, booze, etcetera. Since then, I've quit drinking two plus years now, and me and my family, wife and two little girls have made it out the other side, and we're doing great. You guys will never know how much comfort and support I got from just having the pod on and bringing me back to a good spot. You and Whit and all the boys saved my life. Sorry to bother you on your day off. Thank you, Nick.” And Biz, like, made it clear to us, like, reading something like that, man, he's got it right there... This is why we do it. What you're doing is important, Ralph. Keep at it. I STRUGGLE GETTING STARTED My biggest podcast struggle is just getting started. How do I find the confidence to take the first step? -Jeffry You can do this. We eat an elephant one step at a time. Break it down. In my Podcast Launch Accelerator, we build your podcast step-by-step. First, define your why, your topic and your idea target listener. Next, develop your show structure. Will it be solo, interview or something else? Get some equipment. You'll need a mic, a laptop and some headphones. Download Audacity to help you record and edit. It is free software. Hit record and share your thoughts. Export your audio as an .mp3. Upload it to your audio host, like Libsyn. Connect your host to all the podcast players. Take it one step at a time. SOUNDING CONFIDENT How do I sound more confident and less arrogant. -Vanessa This is an interesting question, Vanessa. I'm not sure how you can be arrogant without being confident. People want to know what you know. Share it with them. Share yourself and your story. Let people fall in love with you. As Zig Ziglar said quite often, “You can get anything you want in life as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” Give. Help people reach their goals. Then, offer to give them more help for an investment. On this show, I offer a ton of free advice. I would hope you don't feel like I'm arrogant or egotistical. Take my content and put it into action. However, I'm here when you want more help. When you need someone to walk you every step of the way, reach out. I'm more than willing to have that conversation with you. Believe in yourself. Some people will love you. Others may not. And that's ok. Attract the people who love you for who you are. THE TIME STRUGGLE My challenge is finding time. It's hard doing it by myself. My biggest podcast struggle right now is finding people to help me. -Michael Schedule it. Put it on the calendar. What gets scheduled gets done. You can also get a co-host. Share the work. Hire a virtual assistant to take the easy stuff off your plate. This could include creating show notes, posting your episode, and the other rote work that is the same week after week. As we discussed earlier, you can hire an editor. You can see my work at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/editing. What is your time worth? Hiring an editor allows you to show up and share your magic. Then, you can hand it off to someone else to do the dirty work while you spend your time getting more clients and generating more revenue. LET ME HELP YOU I'd love to help you. You can send me your struggle and I'll answer it here on the show. Visit www.podcasttalentcoach.com/contact. You can send me a note there. If you're really serious about overcoming your biggest struggle, we can also sit down for an hour of coaching. I can take your hand and walk you every step of the way.

“How do I grow my capacity to have and receive a large audience, and not be afraid of becoming more visible or well-known as my audience grows over time? Could you, George, share how your mind/heart have adapted at each stage of your audience growth?” –a YouTube viewer wrote to me.I thought this was a very thoughtful question, and wonder why more content creators don't talk about this. I appreciate the questioner's sensitivity! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit georgekao.substack.com

In this episode we discuss the significance of building relationships over simply producing better content to achieve audience growth. While many podcasters believe the secret to audience growth lies in creating superior content, the true key lies in fostering better relationships with your audience. AUDIENCE GROWTH STARTS WITH YOU Content serves as the initial attraction, but it's the bond between the podcaster and listeners that keeps people coming back for more. People come to your podcast for your content. They stay for you. My recent trip to Walmart is a perfect example. The lack of human interaction made shopping frustrating. I share that story in this episode. Compare your experiences at Walmart to the magical, emotion-filled experiences at Disney World. Disney delivers exceptional customer service and relationships that make all the difference. Strong relationships can create memorable experiences, which is crucial for achieving audience growth in podcasting. HAVE A CLEAR PLAN We also talk about the importance of having a plan and a clear objective for achieving audience growth. In this episode, I show you how shared experiences and emotional bonds can build a community. Following a structured, step-by-step approach, taught by my mentor Iman Aghay, led to significant and quick growth within my own business. It is critical to your audience growth success that you have a plan. According to available data, studies suggest that around 70% of businesses that survive for five years have a documented business plan. How does that apply to your growth. You don't necessarily need a formal MBA business plan. It just means a significant majority of successful businesses rely on a formal plan to achieve their objectives. DON'T GROW TOO SOON Executing a strategic plan can lead to audience growth. But, avoid premature growth, which can lead to failure if the product isn't ready for the market. Marketing expert David Ogilvy famously said, "Great marketing only makes a bad product fail faster." Ensure your content is engaging and ready to convert first-time listeners into loyal audience members before you aggressively pursue audience growth strategies.

What is your biggest challenge right now? Many podcasters recently shared their answers with me. Today, I'll help you overcome your biggest challenge. OVERCOMING YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE I've often heard many podcasts fade away after 7 episodes. The industry has termed it podfading. I thought the number was a bit crazy. Then one day, I realized how true it is. A client was trying to grow her podcast. Her biggest challenge was attracting new listeners. We decided the strategy that would fit best was appearing on other podcasts. Let's get in front of her ideal clients. We opened Apple Podcasts and started searching for podcasts that matched her caregiving niche. As we combed through the podcasts, nearly every other one had only released a few episodes and the last was months or years ago. They had faded away. Podfading is real. THOSE THAT HAVE FADED I did the same exercise with another client. We opened Apple Podcasts and searched "Get Untuck". Here is what we found. Even many of the top recommended podcasts have faded away, though with more episodes. These are listed in order that Apple Podcasts recommended them. Get Unstuck with Murielle Marie. 23 episodes last published 7/24/23. Get Unstuck Today by Paul Salter. 47 episodes last published 7/14/24. How To Get Unstuck with Helen Thomas. 19 episodes last published 5/28/24. Get Unstuck & On Target by Mike O'Neill. 203 episodes last published 2 days ago. Get Unstuck. Move Forward With Your Life by Jason Hopcus. 12 episodes last published 4 days ago. Get Unstuck by Becky Branton-Griemann. 48 episodes last published 4/20/22. Get Unstuck by Mutita Panmook. 245 episodes last published 1 day ago. Get Unstuck: Elite Voices Making An Impact by Maiken Kuhl. 31 episodes last published 12/13/24. Get Unstuck with Michele Lefler. 53 episodes last published 10/17/23. You get the idea that most of them fade away. But you're saying, "Erik, these all have 40 or 50 episodes." The next recommended podcast is Get Unstuck & Go by Rodrigo Labra. 4 episodes published last published 2/14/23. Then there is Unstuck With Me by Barbara Jebet. One episode published 5/7/20. Get Unstuck & Find Clarity by Lysia Nathanya. 2 episodes last published 10/10/19. Get Yourself Unstuck by Andrew Eaton – 3 episodes last published 3/27/20. And it goes on and on. YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES IS USUALLY ONE OF THESE THREE Most podcasts fade away due to three big challenges. First, the podcast becomes more work than they thought it would be. To overcome this challenge, you need a process in place to consistently produce your show. Next, podcasts fade away because it doesn't grow as fast as they thought it would. You need a system in place to methodically grow your audience. Finally, podcasts fade away because it doesn't generate money as fast as they thought it would. Most lack a strategy to generate revenue with their show. I imagine your biggest challenge has something to do with one of these three. Let's look at the biggest challenge from each of these listeners and see how we can overcome your hurdles.   APPEARANCES INTO CASH The most significant challenge I face with podcasts is turning my appearances into cash. While I deeply value the opportunity to share my story and connect with new audiences, I want to better leverage these appearances to generate tangible income, whether through promoting my books, courses, or speaking engagements. Balancing that monetization goal while maintaining authenticity and value for the audience is a priority for me. -Sheldon Thanks for the question, Sheldon. You can maintain your authenticity and value by serving first. Brendon Burchard once said one of the reasons you're not making money is that you don't seek to help first. If you are using your podcast appearance to help listeners first, it is your obligation to offer to help them go even further by working with you. You can only teach so much in an interview. Help them clearly see what is possible. You can even point them in the right direction. Then, offer to help them implement it. Begin by creating a strategy for your interviews. Start with the end in mind. Where do you want to take them? When I'm interviewed, my goal is to get people to a sales video that will sell my program to help people launch their podcast. The video shows people how to walk through the 21 steps to launch. Then, the video offers the course to implement the checklist. During the interview, I help people see how easy it is to launch the podcast. We talk about the benefits of having a podcast. I help listeners envision having their own podcast and growing their significance in their niche. The interview is about inspiration and clarity. At the end of the interview, I invite people to get my podcast launch minicourse at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/launch. They opt in and get on my list. Then they get access to the 21-point checklist and a video that walks them through it. After going through the 5-minute video, they are invited to a call with me to answer their questions. Finally, I ask if they would like help implementing the plan. It's all about having a strategy and begin by serving people first.   SHOULD I START My biggest challenge is to decide whether to start a podcast or just groom and promote myself as a guest on existing podcasts. I am leaning toward the latter as I am uniquely prepared to bring help, hope and healing to a huge, constantly-growing, group of pain-filled people. On the other hand, I am tech averse and doubt I have inclination, time, skill, or energy to take on development of an adequate self-conducted podcast. -Dale These are two separate strategies. Appear on other podcasts to get discovered and attract new followers. Have your own podcast to build relationships with your followers. When you have your own podcast, you get to have a conversation with your listeners every week. You get to share your story and let them get to love you. Creating a podcast isn't that difficult. Editing audio is like editing a Word document. Copy, cut, paste, delete. All the same commands. Saving it as an .mp3 is like exporting that Word document as a .pdf. If you can upload a photo to Facebook, you can upload audio to your host. After your podcast is set up, that's about all it takes each week. To get help walking through the process, join my for the free podcast launch workshop. Get the details at http://www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/launchworkshop.   FINDING NEW AUDIENCES My biggest challenge is reaching new audiences. -Jeanette I have found the best way to grow my audience is partnering with others. Find people who are speaking to your ideal clients. Then, partner with them to reach more of your ideal clients. I recently had a former client reach out. She saw me speak on a group call about the power of getting interviewed on other shows. She called to say she is ready to relaunch her podcast. On top of that, she is partnering with another expert to launch a joint venture and would like my help. This is the power of partnering with others. You never know who is in the audience.   MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS MY AGE I am 73, so not a spring chicken by any stretch of the imagination, but dumb as a post when it comes to technology. I would very much like to have my own podcast for my business that I am trying to get off the ground, but tech stuff bites me every time. I already have people interested in what I do, and I have had offers to be an affiliate, but I don't know how to set that up on my WordPress site. -Marilyn Start slowly, Marilyn. If you already have others interested in what you offer, sell it before you build it. If you can get 10 or 12 people to invest in a $500 course you teach live over 6 weeks, you can make a quick $5,000. This is what I did. I found multiple people who wanted to grow their audience. During conversations with each of them, I offered to teach them how in a 6-week course. They each paid me $500 before it even started. I recorded the entire program. That became my course. The $5,000 funded my other projects to find more clients. As I mentioned with Dale, the tech isn't that difficult. Plus, you can also find people to help you produce the show once you begin generating revenue with the course you just built. You don't need to build a big affiliate program on your Wordpress site until you have something that sells. Just get started.   GETTING GUESTS My biggest challenge right now is getting consistent guests in my niche. -Greg Getting guests typically isn't very difficult. The biggest challenge is asking often. Not every invite will accept your invitation. Just keep asking. When you land a guest, ask them for referrals. If they have guest ideas for you, ask them to send an introductory email. The best chance of getting a guest is finding someone who has something to promote. That could be a book, program, organization or a variety of other things. Reach out to potential guests on a regular basis. Put it on your calendar and do it often. You'll find success.   PARTNERS My biggest trouble is connecting with other podcasters to grow my podcast. As you know, many podcasts podfade and I'm finding that to be very true. Many of the podcast I'd love to connect with when I look them up have stopped producing months ago. I would like help in finding the best podcasts I can connect with. -Edwin Don't limit your options to only experts in your niche. Find anyone who speaks to your ideal clients. One of my clients is an accountant. His ideal clients are entrepreneurs. When he looks for partners, he isn't only looking for other accountants or even experts in the financial space. He is finding partners by looking for experts speaking to entrepreneurs. I could be a partner for him, because my audience if full of entrepreneurs. This client could partner with funnel experts, mindset coaches, social media marketing pros, or a variety of other influencers. Don't limit your scope. Find people speaking to your ideal clients. When you find a great partner, ask for referrals. Get them to introduce you to others. Once you get the wheel turning, you'll gain momentum. Have fun with it.   YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE I would love to help you with your biggest challenge. Email your question or biggest challenge to coach@podcasttalentcoach.com. You can also get an hour of my coaching to build your podcast strategy. You can apply for that call at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/apply.

#842 It's happening. After neglecting LinkedIn from day one, I'm committing to giving it a real shot with daily posts over the next three months. Listen in to hear how I'm approaching this experiment and giving myself a leg up to succeed! The thing about LinkedIn is that it offers a unique opportunity to connect with engaged professionals. This audience wants valuable business connections and insights, which is the bread and butter of what we do at SPI. That's why I won't chase vanity metrics on the platform. Instead, I'll pay close attention to my metrics while focusing on driving people to my Unstuck newsletter and the new SPI Community. My hypothesis is that consistent, high-value content tailored for the LinkedIn audience will attract and convert the right kind of people. I'm learning what works from the best, so tune in to follow this journey and get my top strategies!
