If it's a dream or ambition of yours to start a podcast or launch a podcast in 2020 this podcast episode is for you. In this episode, I answer the many questions that I get asked all the time about launching a podcast. So if you'd love to start a podcast but you're unsure of what equipment you need or how to host it and get it online or even get people to listen to it then this is a must-listen. In this podcast episode, I share my practical actionable tips including how to choose a topic and why you should choose a niche to reach a larger audience. Even if you're not planning a podcast and just a regular piece of consistent content then you'll still find this episode useful. I'd love to know what you think. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode} Why do you want to start a podcast? Launching a podcast can be a big investment of your time, energy and money. Which is why it's important to get clear on why you're doing it. A podcast can be a great way to attract leads and sales for your business. For example, many of my clients start listening to my podcast way before they become a client.  However, you may have other aims - such as connecting with other influencers in your industry or raising your profile so you can land more speaking gigs or a book deal. If you're clear on why you want to start a podcast, it will be much easier to measure the potential return on investment for your business. How to choose a topic for your podcast  Regardless of the topic, your podcast should solve a problem for your listeners. Solving a problem for people can simply be about entertaining people and/or making them laugh.  But for most business owners, this is generally about providing valuable information/discussion around a specific topic. For example, my podcast 'The Janet Murray Show' provides actionable tips and business/marketing advice - on topics ranging from Instagram marketing to creating a content calendar for your business to how to start a  podcast for your business.  As with many things in your business, the more ‘niche' and/or specific you can be, the better. Spend some time searching through the podcasts Apple and/or other podcasting platforms and you will be amazed what people have podcasts on.  For example: Pat Flynn - passive income  Steve Folland - parents who freelance Bella Vasta - pet business owners  How to choose a name for your podcast  Once you've decided on a topic, it's time to choose a name for your podcast. I'd suggest picking a title that describes what your podcast is about.  For example, Employment Law Matters, the Smart Passive Income Podcast, the Property Development Podcast.  While it might be tempting to come up with something creative, this will make it easier for new listeners to find you. Ditto for individual episode titles.  Interview or solo show? How to choose a format for your podcast  There are no hard and fast rules about which is best: solo, interview or a mix of both. It really is down to you. It's also something you may need to test over time i.e. do your solo shows perform better than your interview shows. For example, I started off with a weekly interview but found my solo shows often performed better, so I gradually started to do fewer interviews and more solo shows.  How often should you put out a podcast (and how long should it be)?  Again there are no hard and fast rules about how often you should put out your podcast i.e. weekly, daily, monthly. This is really down to you.  If you're new to podcasting, creating a season of 6-8 episodes can be a much less daunting than launching a weekly or daily show. If your first season does well, you can always create another on a related topic and/or move to a regular show.  Your podcast can be as short or as long as you want. But if you're new to podcasting, starting with a 15-20 minute show might be easier. How many episodes should you launch with? If you listen to podcasts, you'll probably know that when you find a podcast you like, you often want to binge listen to other episodes. This is why it's a good idea to launch with more than one episode. But again, this will be dependent on a number of factors e.g. whether you're launching a weekly or daily show or a season. Creating a content plan for your podcast Once you've decided on the topic, frequency and length of your podcast episode, it's a good idea to make a content plan, setting out what you're planning to publish and when with draft titles.   What kind of equipment should you start with If you're new to podcasting, it's best to keep it simple. And, as you don't know whether you're going to enjoy podcasting, I wouldn't recommend investing tons. I would recommend a simple set up. I would recommend a USB microphone like the Blue Snowball or Blue Yeti you can plug straight into your computer and a pop shield. These start at around £65.  If you are recording solo shows, you can use Audacity - free software and Zoom/Skype to record interviews.   Where should I host my podcast?  You will also need to choose a place to host your podcast on the web (most podcast files are too big for websites). You will need to pay for hosting. This can vary depending on how much content you have, but I started off paying around $5 a month. Now it's around $25. Popular choices include: Buzzsprout, Spreaker, Blubrry and Libsyn.  Find out more about how to host your podcast: The Podcast Host  How to edit your podcast You can edit your podcast yourself using free software like Audacity or you can outsource. Expect to pay at least £15-20 an hour for podcasting editing, but if you think about the value of a potential lead/enquiry, getting a professional to do this for you can be a much better ROI  (return on investment) in the long run. You could also use a podcast maker like Alitu which helps you clean you your audio, add your intro and outro, edit out mistakes, edit and publish your podcast.   Depending on the format of your show, you may also need to source a voiceover artist for the intro/outro and/or copyright-free music. I found my voiceover artist on Fiverr. You might also want to try People Per Hour or Upwork. There are tons of sites you can use to source copyright free music but my favourite is Audiojungle. Finding guests for your podcast Introducing your listeners to interesting guests - people who are experts in a specific topic - can be a great way to add value. The mistake many new podcasters make is thinking that having ‘big name' guests is a great way to promote your podcasts. Actually the opposite is often true. Someone who already has a large audience is less likely to have the time or inclination to promote your podcast. A guest with a small but engaged audience may be much more inclined to tell the world about it.  When it comes to inviting guests onto your podcasts, the key thing to remember is that you are asking them to give up their time. So it's important to demonstrate what might be in it for them e.g. the chance to get in front of your listeners, social media followers, email list. If you have a small audience or you haven't started your podcast yet, it's best to be upfront about that but show how you will promote the podcast. Doing interviews for your podcast  As with anything in your business, it's all in the preparation. The more you can prepare your guest for the interview - by sending over detailed instructions on how to prepare or join the call PLUS the questions you are likely to ask - the better the interview is likely to go.  It's generally better to use open questions e.g. ‘can you tell us more about' or ‘what did it feel like when…?'. This will encourage your guests to talk more freely and make your interview feel like a conversation rather than a question and answer session (which is exactly how it should be).  Preparing a list of questions is a good idea, but don't stick slavishly to your question list. If you let the conversation flow naturally, your interviews will sound a lot better. Promoting your podcast  Unfortunately getting your podcast listed on Apple Podcasts (and other podcasting directories like Spotify, Acast, Google Podcasts and Stitcher) is not enough to build an audience for your podcast. You will also need to actively promote your podcasts via social media, your email list, Facebook messenger, Pinterest and any other marketing channels. There are also many things you can do to encourage your guests or listeners to share your podcast (such as creating branded, shareable artwork).  Most people vastly under promote their podcast because they're worried people will get sick of hearing about it. In reality, most people are far too busy getting on with their lives to notice you've already posted multiple times about your podcast - and appreciate the reminder.  Podcast shownotes What you need to ask yourself if you want to start a podcast (7:12) How to choose a podcast topic and why it needs to solve your client/customer's problem (9:16) Why you should niche your podcast to make it focused to reach more people (12:40) How to name your podcast and why you can change the name as you evolve (15:30) How to plan your podcast and decide on the format of your podcast (18:15) How often you should produce your podcast and launch with a good number of episodes (20:15) How to plan out your podcast episodes and create a content plan for your podcast (23:52) What equipment you need for your podcast and why you should keep it simple (24:40) What you can outsource to produce your podcast and why you should look at ROI (28:29) Where to host your podcast and why you actually need to host your podcast (30:30) How to prepare a podcast guest for an interview and why big-name guests can be a red herring (31:35) Why you need to promote your podcast and just having it listed on a platform isn't enough (34:57) Why you might want to join my new course ‘Launch your Podcast in 60 days' (36:47) Resources Want to start your own podcast?

Does your Facebook group feel like a ghost town? You're showing up regularly, but you're not getting much engagement.  In fact you may be wondering if it's worth bothering having a group at all. If this sounds  familiar, you'll love this podcast episode with Bella Vasta.  In it she shares tons of valuable advice including what to post in your group (versus what you post on your page), how to get members to respond to your posts PLUS some ninja tips on selling to your group members (without being spammy or selly). {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview. Scroll down to the bottom to read the show notes including all the links mentioned in this episode.}   Bella's story Bella started using Facebook groups to help promote her pet sitting business owner in Phoenix, Arizona back in 2012. It was only when her daughter was born prematurely in 2014, weighing just 350 grams that she really began to see the power of Facebook groups.  During a six month long stint with her daughter in Neonatal Intensive Care Facebook groups not only allowed her to keep her business running. They also provided her with the support she needed to deal with having one of the smallest micro-preemie babies in the world.  Since then Bella has gone on to open a number of other groups for her own business and is now recognised as one of the world's leading experts on Facebook groups for business.  Understanding the difference between Facebook pages and groups To explain the difference between Facebook pages and groups, Bella uses the analogy of your front and back garden. Your Facebook page is like your front garden and your group your back garden.  If you were hosting a party, you wouldn't hold it in your front garden, explains Bella. You'd hold it in your back garden where your guests (all personally invited/vetted by you) could mingle and chat in a more relaxed, informal environment - without feeling like passers by were listening in on their conversations. It's exactly the same in a Facebook group, where you're the host, but your guests can start their own conversations and hang out with different groups of people. One of the biggest differences is that conversations on your Facebook page are all started and led by you (what Bella refers to as a ‘dictatorship' model). Members of your Facebook group are free to start and lead their own discussions (what Bella refers to as a ‘socialist' model).  While anyone can see and interact with the content on your Facebook page, only those personally/invited vetted by you can see the content in your Facebook group, which creates a completely different kind of atmosphere.  How should the content differ on your Facebook page and in your group?  This really depends on what you are trying to achieve, says Bella. But you will almost certainly need to be posting content that encourages discussion. And because the group is private, you may be able to tackle more sensitive/personal issues than you can on your own page.  Bella recommends asking three questions to those wanting to join your group (the maximum allowed by Facebook). Ideally, this should include one question that asks them what their biggest challenge is right now (in relation to your paid products/services) and another that asks for their email address.  She uses a resource called Group Funnel to collect the data from these initial questions and add it to a spreadsheet. This information can be used to generate content ideas for the group and for in copy on sales page. Used in conjunction with the tool Zapier you can also set up an automated email that welcomes new members to the group. This can be personalised with a video message, using a tool like Bonjoro. Creating a content schedule for your Facebook group Bella suggests planning your content ahead, using a resource like the Media Diary for ideas and scheduling posts inside Facebook.  She recommends using questions, polls and Facebook Lives to generate discussion inside your group.  And there are tons more ideas in her free download 23 Ideas To Get More Engagement In Your Facebook Group: bellavasta.com/janet.  Podcast shownotes How Bella started her business and her first Facebook group (02:19) Why people will listen to your personal story (10:10) Why your Facebook group and page are like your front and back garden (14:40) How people engage differently in Facebook groups and pages  (20:37) How should the content differ on your Facebook page and in your group?

Key Takeaways Covered In The Podcast If your business depends on you being IN your business for it to run, you may want to consider the way in which your business runs. You must be able to take time off, whether it’s for a vacation or to spend time with a loved one, your business needs to be able to run without you. Facebook groups can be used as a sales funnel as often you’ll be able to buy a product that has a free membership to a broad group as a part of its benefits. From there, people may end up purchasing membership to your more exclusive and knowledgeable group. Guidelines are important, but don’t dictate as you may end up with a bad reputation. Before you start a group for your business, you need to understand your why. Planning your content and scheduling it in advance is essential to running a successful group. Use your free group to encourage members into joining you paid membership. Mention the topics you’ve covered, talk about them in the free group and show people that your paid membership is worth it. You’ll be putting more effort into this group, so showing people it’s worth their money is essential. Your Facebook icons on your website should go directly to your free Facebook group, not your Facebook page. Don’t oversell in your group. Although monetising is important, low hanging fruit is key. Consider using ‘pop-up groups’ for products and courses. These can be closed after they’ve been used and can encourage people to join your membership. The one thing you need to remember above all else… When you run a group, whether it’s free or paid for, you need to focus on providing valuable information. If end up just talking to your members or trying to sell to them, they’ll go elsewhere for their information. Monetising can’t be the only thing you use your group for.

Bella Vasta is the dynamic personality behind the one woman coaching company, Jump Consulting. As a child, she was always the kid in the neighborhood organizing everyone and coming up with ways to make money. After starting her pet sitting company while attending college, she went full speed ahead when she graduated, growing Bella's House & Pet Sitting to become nationally and locally award winning and boasting with employees. Throughout the years, Bella has been known to blaze her own trail through the pet sitting industry, carving out a path that many would follow. After the birth of her micro-premie daughter in July 2014, born at only 12 oz., Bella sold her pet sitting business for over six figures, and now lives out her passion to be a Mom and Wife first, and then to inspire, motivate, and challenge business owners through her coaching.

We bring you Bella Vasta. She ran a successful pet sitting business, then started to coach others with their own business. She has her own podcast, Bella in your Business. She does speaking and has her own mastermind group. Bella know a lot about Facebook groups. I am interested in Facebook groups myself. I know people that use them to help with their business. I know there is a way to use it to build your brand and business.

Nationally award-winning business owner, author, speaker and small business coach, Bella Vasta, is here to share her story about taking back control of her life and business after tragedy struck. Now she teaches other people all over the world how they can set up their own business to survive. “Be a leader in your own life, your family life and then your business life”. Upon graduating from college, Bella's parents wanted her to get a ‘real job'. She was hired at a huge corporation, but couldn't stand the training, so she quit after two weeks. While working part time at Starbucks, for the health benefits, she went on to build a six-figure pet sitting business. Two years later she applied for some national awards in her industry and won. When people started coming to her asking how she did it, what they should do as a business owner, it opened a door for her as a business coach. And Bella believes in walking through all the doors. She met her husband, Alex, in 2012 on Match.com at age 32. They honeymooned in Rome and came home to find out they were pregnant. Within months, the doctors gave her news that changed her life. Bella was told her baby was not growing. She said every doctor they consulted told her something different. They even tried to scare her out of having the baby, but Bella insisted her child would survive. She chose not to abort saying she felt so close to God at that time. “It was the most beautiful and scary time ever”. Olivia was the smallest baby born in Arizona. Her daughter was just 12 ounces at birth. She measured 10 inches in length, shorter than a Barbie Doll. Bella said it was after her daughter's birth that her dreams came crashing down. She couldn't hold her, breast feed her, and was told by the hospital staff not to get too attached. But Olivia survived. When Bella took her daughter home, she also brought home a great deal of trauma. She started a very dark phase in her life. Bella gained a lot of weight. She suffered from what she believed was PTSD. Her darkness affected all those around her, her husband, her family. She was not getting out of bed and didn't want to go out of town to celebrate her anniversary. Finally, Bella decided, “Enough is enough”. It was then she started holding herself accountable by talking about her tragedy. She is now on the national stage sharing her own story and exciting other business owners, speaking and counseling so they can survive. She believes if you are going to have a successful business, and something tragic happens, you will want to step aside. But are you ready? She challenges business owners if their business is strong enough to run without them. As a business owner, Bella shares with others the tools needed to be prepared. “Don't let your business eat you alive”. It's all about balance. She cautions owners not to let their business burn them out. If you do, your family will resent you. She says it is important to first take care of yourself, your own life, and then your business. After struggling with her tragedy for three years, Bella was introduced to EMDR therapy, a treatment for handling trauma that she says has a huge success rate. Bella feels this therapy helped her get rid of her “emotional hangover”. She explains how it has allowed her to learn to filter her trauma and get rid of the nightmares. She has been able to go back to the hospital and have “happy moments”. She feels she is now able to talk about her trauma and not get overwhelmed. EMDR has given Bella the ability to “stand in that power”. Her daughter has taught her that “I don't know where I'm going”, but Bella knows she is okay. Today she feels amazing. Bella feels she is exactly where she should be. Everything she has gone through has helped her get where she is, and now she wants to inspire other business owners. Bella wants us to remember there is a person behind the business, and she wants to address the person, and their mental health and their mental being. Her favorite quote is, “always keep jumping”, which means you keep going even when you don't want to. Bella has gained perspective through her tragedy. She has gained appreciation for life. She will never get upset when her daughter gets her up at 5:15 in the morning. Bella just remembers she was able to bring her baby home. She feels she went through this for a reason and she says, “I want to be able to be a light, or an encouragement, or a connector for anyone that might need it”.
