As I get ready for Podcast Movement, I've been thinking about this podcast and how it's been somewhat of a hodgepodge of content. I want it to be a great resource for podcasters who are looking to save time — or spend it the right way. And while it's always been an experimenting ground for me, I fear I've turned it into Frankenstein's Monster. So today, I'm talking about 3 things I'm struggling with for this podcast — and how I plan to fix that Here are the quick hits:1. Redefining My Podcast's Mission StatementI realize my podcast has lacked a clear, cohesive mission statement. I want to better define who my podcast helps (solopreneur podcasters), what problem it solves for them (spending too much time on their podcast), and how it helps solve that problem (providing process improvements and tools to save 12+ hours per week).2. Resurrecting and Updating My Old Episode TopicsI am considering revisiting some of my older episode topics from the podcast's early days and refreshing them to better align with my current focus on podcast workflows and processes. However, I want to be selective to ensure the topics fit with my updated mission.3. Consolidating and Optimizing My YouTube PresenceI have multiple YouTube channels that I have used inconsistently for my WordPress and podcasting content over the years. I want to consolidate my podcast content onto my main, monetized "Joe Casabona" channel to simplify things and better train YouTube to recommend my videos.Show Notes3 Things to Get the Most Out of Podcast Movement 2024Ripple.fmPodcast Workflows on Ripple.fm (00:00) - Intro (02:19) - Rediscovering my Mission Statement (10:20) - Resurrecting older topics (15:59) - Fixing my Terrible YouTube Situation (20:39) - Join me on Ripple.fm! ★ Support this podcast ★
On this episode of Podcraft, we have a special episode swap with our good friend Joe Casabona from Podcast Workflows. Podcast Workflows provides insights into how to improve your podcast systems and workflows — allowing you to create and grow a high quality podcasting by showing you how to best spend your limited time.Here, Joe will help us think about our own podcast workflows by encouraging us to think about what's missing from our existing processes. ---------One of my favorite Disney+ shows is Loki. It's a truly fascinating look at time travel, predetermined events, and controlling your own destiny.And now I'm going to give you a major (if not very simplified) spoiler, if you haven't seen it.In the finale, Loki masters the ability to “time slip,” or transport to any time, any place, in any timeline (for all intents and purposes, a timeline is a parallel universe). This also allows him to relive events over and over again.So as all of existence faces eradication, he can take as much “time” as he wants to learn how to save everything and everyone, on every timeline.He continuously, over thousands of years, learns everything he needs to learn, and practices, through trial and error, to improve his process, and his odds of saving everything and everyone.And while we don't have thousands of years, or the ability to time travel, we do have the ability to take a step back and consider the question, “What's missing?”

Dave tells everything about no longer lying to himself in the mirror. He talks about breaking his scale and realizing that he weighed well over 400 pounds.How he set his sights on achieving big dreams and the fact that he is in act 1 of his 3 part hero's journey. We chatted about the fact that you'll never feel “ready” if you're waiting for your nerves to go away.You just have to face your fears head on because they're the only thing standing in your way.Documenting The Process For AccountabilityDave has an incredible story of his journey on social media. Dave tried many times to lose weight before, but the main thing that made a difference this time?Documenting the process on social media. That was the difference between this weight loss journey and all the others before. We talked about the mixed reputation social media has and some of the pros and cons. How to be authentic, how to create in a way true to you and the message you want to share. Such a wild thing to hear how unexpected it was for him to become a social media influencer.Tips For Your Own Weight Loss JourneyDon't over analyze the plan, mostly take action. Do things that make it more sustainable.Eat less bad foods and more healthy foods.Create some elements of accountability. If not social media, how do you keep yourself accountable?Make sure supportive people know what you're up to and how to hold you accountable.Keep it lighthearted and fun as much as possible because it's going to be serious in many other ways.The best exercises are ones that you'll enjoy doing as much as possible.Choose a gym and times that you are comfortable with. Do what works for you that you can stick to.Creating Content In The GymDave shared how he decided to start filming and posting his workouts. He talks about how scary it was at first. It did not come naturally at all. It was like a whole year before he started to feel comfortable with using his camera in the gym. Now that he's done it a bunch of times he is much better and more comfortable.Maybe a few people look, but really no one is paying attention to you.Now he creates multiple pieces of content on his phone over the course of about three minutes during his workouts.The main thing to keep in mind is being respectful and ethical toward everyone else in the gym.Don't do any filming or pictures in the locker room. And don't get anyone in the backgrounds of your videos.And remember that most people want to support you, so don't give energy to the negative reactions, or comments.Memorable Quotes“Try things. Whether it's different diets, different exercises, different types of content creation, different platforms, different careers, different things in academia and education, different parts of the world to live in, just try more things”"Man, now I'm gonna be the fat guy filming himself in planet fitness.”“I don't really know what to do except I don't wanna get on the bad side of Joey Swoll in the gym. Haha.”Guest Bio“Life is good, Dave is fat. Aspiring supermodel. 30. Accountant.

In this episode we chat with Joe Casabona. Joe is known specifically as a “podcast coach”, but he has a broad wealth of experience and expertise.He has helped companies and individuals with brand building, marketing, monetization, workflow automation and web design.We talked about starting a podcast, building a solopreneur, creator business, and balancing all of this with life and family.We also discussed the value of learning and understanding your own curse of knowledge that can get in the way of teaching.Joe shares the change in mindset that he went through once he became a parent.We also talked about forging a habit that allows our hobbies to be simply for fun, not productivity, success, or outcomes.And the lifestyle of having flexibility to hang with his family that drives him to succeed as an entrepreneur.Find Your Balance Of Niche vs Broad As A CreatorYou have to find a way to appeal to a broad audience to make your creator life sustainable. You want to be human. Because people want to network with and buy from people they can relate to. So that means you should share your stories as a parent, with your pets, or about your favorite sports teams. Don't hold back, just be a person first.But when it comes to the professional elements of your brand, be sure to find your niche.For things like sales, marketing, building a community around the solutions you provide, you need to niche down. What problem do you solve? Who do you solve it for? And how do you solve it? Once you figure this out, then people will understand why they should work with youSteps To Succeeding As A One Person Creator BusinessThe first question you need to ask yourself is “how will you support yourself”? And that's a tough reality check for many of us. We need to be real with ourselves. Literally, how will you support yourself? How will you support your family if you have one?How much money do you need to live? What is your freedom number so to speak. Once you know this, then you need to decide what will bring in revenue?Drawing from personal experience, the entrepreneurial journey often begins early with a profit making service. In the beginning take a very pragmatic approach. It's likely going to be a side hustle. But it can definitely gradually expand through strategic use of social media and networking. But it's most important to align your business with your lifestyle goals rather than just chasing money. You need to establish your balance between work and personal life. Set your non-negotiables such as family time, or fitness.And devise strategies for revenue, eventually passive income that are in alignment with your values.Also, understand that it won't be an overnight thing. This will take a lot of trial and error. But it will be well worth it. The Biggest Mistake Podcasters MakeThe number one thing Joe says gets in the way for clients is not knowing why the show exists, or who it's for.When you start a podcast, you need to know what your mission is. This is the number one thing podcast creators get wrong. And it's easy to define. So define it! “I Create [Podcast Name] to help [Audience] With [Problem Solved] By [Delivery Method]”The Second Biggest Mistake Podcasters MakeThis was an amazing part of the episode. You need to know how much time you spend on each step of an episode.The answers will lead to the creating capacity you have and also set goals for making things more efficient.When it comes to workflow, Joe asks every client the same first question:“What is the checklist of every single step you take to create an episode?”If the client doesn't have a checklist clearly defined, then that's the starting point.Make your checklist. Podcasting Automation And Workflow Joe is an automation genius. But a word of caution, he shares that it probably is a toxic trait because he tried to automate absolutely everything. Either way, we can learn a ton from Joe when he says “if I will need to continue to do something a few times, then I need to find robots to take care of it.”The best way to figure this out for you, as a podcaster, or a business owner in general, is listing out your workflow. What is everything you do to run different elements of your work?O.K. Now that you know all of the things, start setting up the dominoes to knock each other over. Don't just fly randomly by the seat of your pants.What can you automate?This might look different for everyone. The details will change and evolve. But a couple things are universal. Have a calendar set up. Have an episode tracker that defines each stage the episode is as it moves along from an idea to published.What can you outsource?You won't be able to outsource maybe even anything at first. But, you should have goalposts to work towards. Your workflow checklist will get more efficient over time. This will include hiring to buy back some of your time. If your goal is to work more and more in your zone of genius, aka being the creator, the podcaster, then it all starts with hiring for the first thing. Maybe it's someone to edit. For most people that's where we can buy 5 Strategies To Make Money With A PodcastJoe was super generous in the way that he dove into the framework that he teaches clients. He explained each piece of his 5 part framework to make money on your show. He calls it the SMASH Framework. Sponsorship: The most common way people think of to monetize their podcast because it's the most visible. You get a company to give you money in order to advertise on your show.Membership: Another commonly known way to monetize. Instead of asking potential sponsors, you ask your listeners to directly support the show, usually in exchange for some members-only benefits.Affiliate Links: This is the lowest barrier to entry, but may take time to get a decent income. You sign up for affiliate programs of products you commonly recommend, and you get a cut of each sale from people who click your link.Selling (Products or Services): I feel is the least-used way to monetize a podcast. You, using the podcast to prove your expertise, sell directly to your audience.Helping (Coaching, Consulting, Courses): Similar to Selling, you use you podcast to land consulting clients, coaching clients, or sell your online courses. This could be a little easier than selling since you can have a podcast that does exactly what your “helping” service does.Memorable Quotes"The only person who will remember that you worked late is your children, because you weren't there.”“The biggest mistake new podcasters make is not knowing their mission. Who do you create for, and what problem does your show help them solve?”"You need to be selective about who you work with. And then once you have expectations managed, you need the right systems in place.” “Take all business advice with a grain of salt.”Guest BioJoe Casabona humbly brags on his website that he will help you win back 12+ hours per week.He does this with podcast automation and workflow coaching. Joe helps busy solopreneurs take back their time by streamlining their process. His strategies come from many years of experience as a teacher, web developer and podcaster.He's also a podcaster himself, a husband, dad, author and baseball fan.Follow JoeWebsite - Casabona.OrgLinkedIn - @JcasabonaTwitter X - @jcasabonaFOLLOW JUSTIN AT JUST KEEP LEARNINGWebsite - JKLHOMELinkedIn - @JustinNolan-JustKeepLearningTwitter / X - @JustinNolan_JKLInstagram - @JustKeepLearning.CaTiktok - @justkeeplearning.caFacebook - Just Keep LearningFree Group - JKL Goal Setting CommunityWe appreciate you being here!

Joe Casabona started Podcast Liftoff in 2017. He helps his clients transform their podcasts from a hobby to a revenue-generating machine. In 2022, Joe realized that he was providing too many services to his customers. Instead of a jack of all trades, he wanted to be known as the guy who eats, sleeps and breathes podcasts. He adapted his product offerings and is now learning that, when it comes to your business, sometimes less is more.
WATCH ▶️ Watch this video on YouTube *** EPISODE DESCRIPTION I'm excited to share with you an episode of a new podcast that I'm really excited about – it's called Creator Debates with Justin Moore. You may or may not know that Justin and I are pretty good friends – his business is called Creator Wizard and he helps creators find & negotiate your dream sponsorships so that you stop leaving $ on the table. And he's really, really good at that. Justin was my guest on Episode #112 of this podcast which was our first-ever VIDEO episode of this show on YouTube. He was gracious enough to be my guinea pig and I returned the favor with his new video show, Creator Debates. Creator Debates features stupid arguments to help creators make smart decisions. In this episode you're about to hear, I debate with Joe Casabona on whether podcasters should be focused on leveraging video or not. And as someone who recently made the switch from audio only to video, I'm arguing FOR video. These guys are good friends, both members of The Lab, and this episode is a lot of fun. So, I'm sharing this episode in full with you today here on the feed. If you enjoy it, subscribe to Creator Debates in your podcast player OR, if you'd rather watch in video, the link is in the show notes.

Welcome to a classic podcast swap! I'm sharing an episode from Joe Casabona over at How I Built It because it's incredibly useful for you in your business and brand-building journey. In this sneak peek episode, Joe chats with Dr. Shanté Cofield on a ton of helpful stuff. Let's peep the highlights: On imposter syndrome: We need to get objective and trust the data. It's easy to get down on yourself, not want to brag, and feel like you're not the real deal. But you need to listen to what people are telling you. If you help them, you are helping. It's easy to want to talk implementation of your new business or content because that's concrete. But you need to define your values first. Without values, you are directionless. On values: value-based marketing is not shouting your opinion on Twitter. Values are verbs. They are things you do, vs. the things they say. They are how you build your best life, and they need to be at the core of your business. Enjoy this conversation and check out How I Built It for even more cool conversations with business owners doing great things (hmm...sounds very fitting for this show!). We'll be back to episodes of Good People, Cool Things next week!
Joe Casabona started his career over 20 years ago as a freelance web developer. He later realized his true passion was helping podcasts of any size make money, so they could turn their hobby into a business. In 2016, he started the How I Built It podcast, which interviews other web developers about how they built their plugin, theme, or other WordPress-related product. The podcast quickly gained popularity, reaching 50,000 downloads in just nine months. Since then, Joe has monetized the podcast in several ways, including sponsorship, membership, affiliates, and selling products and services. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. Joe Casabona's background in web development and how he got into podcasting 2. The process of securing sponsorships for a new podcast 3. The various ways that a podcast can be monetized Resources: https://casabona.org/ https://podcastliftoff.com/freebie/sarah/ https://www.podseam.com/freebies Chapter Summaries: [00:00:00] - Joe Casabona started his career over 20 years ago as a freelance web developer before realizing his true passion. The podcast has made over $250,000 [00:00:46] - In high school and grammar school. He did drama club and he loved presenting. He has a master's degree in software engineering and he's been working remotely since 2013. He started podcasting because he wanted to talk to people about how they were building things. It's a way for him to be the extrovert while still working from home. [00:02:47] - Joe started a podcast in 2016. The name came from a domain he bought while he and his wife were on their honeymoon in Italy. Chris Coyer, a big name in the web development space, was his 6th guest and it started getting a lot of downloads from there. He had 50,000 downloads in nine months. He got it sponsored before he even started. [00:07:58] - There are five ways to make money podcasting. The first one is sponsorship. The second one is membership. The third one is affiliate links. The fourth and gift is products and services. [00:18:02] - It's important to choose the right sponsors for your podcast. Manscaped approached him earlier this year about sponsoring his podcast. He didn't think their products were in alignment with his audience. Some brands wanted exclusivity for an extended amount of time, or they wanted him to guarantee downloads upfront. [00:19:33] - Baked in ads give the most value to podcasters. CPM is probably not going to work for most podcasters who aren't in the top 2%. [00:28:30] - How I Built Bits is going to be a five or ten-minute episode with a short read at the beginning. People can sponsor the episode for $99 until the end. It's a way to increase the number of sponsors in an episode and make money. [00:30:53] - Make Money Podcasting is a 20-minute-long mini podcast. It's geared towards creators and small business owners. [00:34:20] - Joe makes about $30,000 to $50,000 per year on podcast sponsorship alone. He has locked in about $6,000 worth of sponsorships this week. He's considering scaling back the number of sponsors to two in 2023. [00:37:26] - Workflow: Airtable, Calendly, Zapier
