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.

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.

Taking action is essential for growth and clarity. Many people are stuck in a wanting pattern, preventing them from receiving. Desire for more comes with the need to accept potential losses. Subconscious fears often block conscious desires for expansion. Failure is a necessary part of the journey to success. Resilience is built through overcoming obstacles and setbacks. Balancing the fear of failure with the excitement of possibility is crucial. Energetics play a significant role in attracting desired outcomes. The journey towards purpose is a daily process, not a destination.

In this episode of the Blogging Breakthroughs podcast, I talk with Aeoliana Elliott about: Embrace the Learning Curve: Starting a podcast means accepting that your initial episodes won't be perfect. The key is to begin and allow yourself to improve over time. Understanding that the early stages are part of the learning process can ease the pressure of perfection. Manageable Beginnings: To avoid burnout, start with smaller, more manageable goals, such as monthly episodes, before potentially increasing the frequency. Shorter episodes can offer substantial value without overwhelming effort, making the process more sustainable. Mindset is Key: Success in podcasting and business heavily relies on mindset. Overcome mental roadblocks and maintain consistency for long-term success. Understanding your thoughts and adopting an entrepreneurial mindset is crucial when pursuing new ventures. Building Trust: Podcasts can create a sense of intimacy and trust with the audience, which is beneficial for promoting services or products. Authenticity in your voice and less emphasis on over-editing helps build a genuine connection with listeners. Repurposing and Consistency: Make strategic use of existing content by repurposing and expanding upon it to build new podcast episodes. Consistently creating content and revisiting successful topics can increase long-term impact and engagement with your audience. ----more---- Connect with Aeoliana: ⚡️Freebie opt in: Podcast Launch and Tech Playbook https://bit.ly/freebie_podcast ⚡️Here is a freebie for the folks that need help with tech specifically (no opt in): Podcast Tech Troubleshooting Cheat Sheet https://drive.google.com/file/d/1esxHL0v4wfw9b3fGBM7x7Lja1Ni5bHD3/view?usp=drive_link ⚡️Instagram: https://instagram.com/aeoliana.elliott?igshid=MTIzZWQxMDU= ⚡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aeoliana.elliott/ ⚡️TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aeoliana_podcaststrategy?_t=8iK0h5E39L9&_r=1 ⚡️Facebook Group - Podcast Strategy with Heart: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3700872426901830/ ⚡️Website: https://www.topshelfvirtualservices.com   Connect with Faith:  ⚡️ Join Creator Camp HERE: https://www.faithmariah.com/social-media-membership ⚡️ Join the Becoming Boss Mastermind HERE.  https://faithmariah.mykajabi.com/becoming-boss-mastermind-waitlist ⚡️ Sign up to get notified when Power Hour is happening live! https://www.faithmariah.com/BUSINESS_POWER_HOUR ⚡️ Join the Free Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/581614028960508 ⚡️ Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/the.faith.mariah/ ⚡️ TikTok  https://www.tiktok.com/@the.faith.mariah ⚡️ www.faithmariah.com
