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.

As a podcaster, our main goal is to publish valuable content consistently for our listeners. In addition to that we are also looking for ways to grow and strengthen not only our loyal podcast listeners but our social media followers as well. There are many ways in which to do this, including creating a blog for your podcast which you should do; launch a video podcast or YouTube channel, leverage Pinterest to help promote your show; Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Tik Tok, but in today’s crowded field of 24 hour social media cycle, turning your podcast into a book is most effective! If you are following me on YouTube then you may recall back in August when I decided to record an episode every day with plans to turn it into a book...well I haven’t done it yet….however, I have enough content to do so and am planning to kick off 2021 with those more than 100+ episodes of podcasting pointers. I have however, authored 2 books, “Basic Blogging Tips for Beginners” and “Podcasting Your Purpose” Resource Guide on Amazon and just recently completed another Podcasting eBook which I will be launching during the holidays. These books are an extension of the podcast and blog that allows yet another opportunity to expand and broaden my brand online. There are many podcasters out there who have expanded their influence and reach by taking topics shared via audio on their podcast then putting those words on paper and turning it into a book and so should you!

Podcasts & Potholes Does it feel like your podcast shows are never done the way you want them, a feeling like they’re always under construction? Think about this...aren’t there roads, highways, byways, bridges and freeways that are always under construction, every year there are new potholes to be filled, new repairs to be made - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall! Well if they can’t get them right and states are spending millions of dollars on construction, what makes you think that your podcast is going to fare any better especially if you are not putting in much money at all? Sponsorships and monetizing are always front and center of every podcaster’s mind, so perfection is what we seek and that is when frustration can set in. Last week I had an opportunity to speak with a group of podcasters who are in the Horticulture industry and podcasting promotion ideas was the main question they had and even though I was able to provide tips such as: Setting up a promotion schedule Using Social Media, blogs, websites and newsletter Joining Facebook Groups and Communities Re-purposing Content Going Live Collaborating with other podcasters Being consistent CTA We all felt a little frustrated by the fact that our Podcast is never really done...never completed...never perfect. But as I stated in a previous episode of Podcasting your Purpose, podcasting is not perfection you can purchase professional voice overs; you can have flashy intros with Headliners or Wavve; you can repurpose your content; be consistent; go live on YouTube or Facebook every day, collaborate with other podcasters. You can include a CTA at the end of each episode; your podcast can be listed on Google Play, iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud and of course Anchor, but it seems like you're always under construction. Selling sponsorship or merchandise can be in the mix as well, but don’t beat yourself up, we’ve all been there and some are still there, but we are all in this together don't beat yourself up just continue going forward, practice, practice, progress. Your podcast may never sound perfect but don’t give up because there is always going to be a pothole to fill. I offer a 30- minute Complimentary Discovery Call where we can talk about your podcast planning, because if you fail to plan you plan to fail. I also offer the 60-minute Mini Coaching Session for $77, and 90-minute coaching session for $97; my Workbook Podcasting Your Purpose is available on Amazon; Basic Blogging Tips for Beginners book can be ordered by heading over https://DelBlogger.com So remember potholes and podcasts go together because they're both always under construction!

Driving Traffic to Your Blog with Giveaways and Product Reviews on Amazon In this episode of Basic Blogging Tips for Beginners I talk about how using giveaways, contests and product reviews on Amazon can help drive more traffic to your blog.
