Podcasts about podcast promotion

Who do you think about more? Your current audience, listeners that have already found you and love you and consider themselves part of your community or new listeners, someone that might be searching for a certain topic or just something to listen to and they find you and become a part of your audience.As podcasters it can be really easy to get caught up in making content for one of the two. For most of us, I'd say we focus mostly on the community we already have and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, as a podcast producer I'd say that focusing on your current audience is one of the best things you can do for the stability and success of your podcast. However, and there's always a however lurking around, you have to keep in mind your next listeners. You always need to be carving out a part of your podcast and brand and business that's focused on finding the next audience you'll have, because if you're not getting that new listener another podcast is and they'll be the ones that get the opportunities we're working towards.So in this episode we're going to talk about producing podcast episodes that get shared, even by strangers. Why it's so important that your community and listeners outside of your community are talking about and sharing your podcast, how organic growth will impact your podcast's bottom line and what kind of episodes get shared. ⭐️ Listen to Episode 52: Your Podcast Has a Brand (Whether Your Realize it or Not!)

From Whisper Creek in Montana's Glacier National Park, Iron Ridge ghost town, and Dead Man's Hollow in Kentucky to Black Hollow and Widow's Crag, each story recounts experiences with eerie sounds, inexplicable footprints, and terrifying sightings of Bigfoot-like creatures. These tales serve as haunting reminders that some places are meant to be left alone and that not everyone who ventures into the unknown makes it back the same.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Chicago-based producer Chez (pronounced “cheese”) for a fun and thoughtful conversation about music, identity, and community. Chez reflects on his first NSW show, overcoming nerves, and developing a sound that blends humor with serious musicality—drawing inspiration from Frank Zappa, Tim & Eric, and glitch-hop staples like Tipper & KOAN Sound. We explore the role of creative communities, Chez's approach to sound design, and his upcoming move into a producer house in D.C. The episode also dives into wild merch ideas (cheesehead hats, berets), and what sets the “Two Guys” project apart from a typical B2B. Later, we unpack AI in music, rediscovering the magic of live bands.

“I am a huge advocate for trailers for podcasts for a number of reasons. I can talk about the marketing aspects of it, but first, let's do the content. So, I think they should be short. And the reason I say I think, even though I claim to be an authority on this topic, is because there is no right and there is no wrong. You can do whatever the hell you want and that's the beauty of podcasting. However, I think that they should be between thirty seconds and ninety seconds, something quick to whet the appetite of a potential listener. Bare bones, what they should say is your name, your show, when it's dropping, why you're making it, who it's for. When in doubt, you can spoon-feed your listeners everything they need to know about your show via the trailer. If you have more time, more resources, more money probably, you can get a little bit more creative with it, but at the very least, it should have the above elements.” – Arielle Nissenblatt This episode is the second half of my conversation with podcasting expert and founder of EarBuds Podcast Collective Arielle Nissenblatt as we talk about making a first impression with podcast trailers, whether video or audio previews make a bigger impression on young listeners, and how, when it comes to driving audience engagement, brutal honesty can sometimes be the best policy. As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes. If you have questions for me, visit audiobrandingpodcast.com where you'll find a lot of ways to get in touch. Plus, subscribing to the newsletter will let you know when the new podcasts are available and what the newest audio chats will be about. If you're getting some value from listening, the best ways to show your support are to share this podcast with a friend and leave an honest review. Both those things really help – and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. (0:00:00) - Podcast Trailer Length and Visual ElementsArielle and I continue our conversation with a look at podcast trailers, and how effective they can be for grabbing the audience's attention right from the start. “So you can upload that, make sure your feed looks good, make sure you are findable on all the podcast listening apps,” she explains. “You can start even sending people to your show to subscribe or to hit the follow button, even leave ratings and reviews before your show launches.” We discuss whether YouTube is the new kingmaker for podcasts and the perils of betting too much on a viral video. “You use all the right hashtags, you use all the right captions and you try to hit the algorithm,” she tells us. “You might not hit the algorithm and that's okay, but it also could be really demoralizing and you just spent a lot of money or a lot of time.”(0:06:55) - Podcast Promotion and Visual ElementsWe compare how well video clips and audiogram snippets perform on YouTube, and Arielle shares tips on making the most of video in an audio-first format like podcasting. “If you don't record video, or if you want to make a video element of your show without recording video real faces,” she says, “you can still have a video element. You can go to Descript, you can go to Adobe, you can go to a lot of different places.” She shares different strategies for monetizing a podcast, and how to know when a show's ready to start offering paid subscriptions. “One way to tell,” she explains, “is if you ask your audience for ratings and reviews and you don't get any, and it's like pulling teeth to get them to do anything. You're probably not going to get them to pay you money to continue making your...

When can you monetize your podcast? That's one of the most asked questions I get as a podcast producer and strategist and the simple answer is: today. Yeah, it's true. You can monetize your podcast today. You could hypothetically speaking, start making money on your podcast today by becoming an affiliate partner. Now, obviously it's much more complicated than recording an ad and watching the money roll in, but in this episode I'm going to walk you through how to become an affiliate marketer with your podcast, how to find the best companies to work with, how much you can expect to make and how to strategize to leverage your affiliate partnerships to get actual partners for your podcast.

"Your podcast isn't just audio—it's content waiting to be repurposed across multiple platforms. Leverage it wisely!"In this episode, we talked about how podcasters can maximize their reach using social media. Many creators focus solely on publishing episodes, hoping listeners will find them. But in reality, your podcast's success hinges on strategic promotion. Social media isn't just about sharing links; it's about storytelling, engagement, and creating a community around your content.One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation was the importance of repurposing content. A single podcast episode can fuel weeks of content—quotes, clips, blog posts, and more. If you're not doing this, you're leaving growth on the table. This discussion gave me a fresh perspective on how social media should be a non-negotiable part of a podcast growth strategy, and I'm excited to implement these strategies myself.Key Takeaways:Repurpose Your Content – A podcast episode isn't just for listeners; break it down into clips, quotes, and posts.Leverage Short-Form Video – TikTok, Reels, and Shorts are dominating attention spans—use them to promote key moments.Engagement Over Promotion  – Social media is about conversations, not just broadcasting links.Consistency is Key  – Growth happens when you post regularly and engage with your audience.Optimize for Each Platform  – Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter each require a unique approach to maximize impact.Chapters & Timestamps:03:20 – The Biggest Mistake Podcasters Make with Social Media08:10 – The Power of Repurposing Your Podcast Content14:30 – Best Platforms for Podcast Promotion in 202421:00 – Engagement Strategies That Actually Work28:15 – How to Stay Consistent Without Burning Out35:40 – Final Tips and TakeawaysSend us a textSave Frustration.

Its easy to imagine that if you just had a budget to put toward paid podcast advertising, all your marketing problems would be solved. But is that really true? Anyone who's ever done any advertising will quickly tell you its one of the most gruelling, creatively challenging marketing practices on the planet—one where you have to be ok with burning a large amount of cash up front to figure out what (if anything works). That said if you approach it with a bit of savvy… paid advertising can be a sneaky smart way to grow.

Last year I had over 500,000 viewers without a dollar in paid promotion from one social media - Pinterest. After Google, Pinterest brings the most traffic to my website and podcast episodes, with the average visitor spending about 23 minutes looking at past episodes. In this episode we'll talk about why Pinterest is the best place to grow your podcast audience, how to properly market your podcast on Pinterest, and what you can do to incorporate Pinterest into your podcast workflow without feeling overwhelmed.Why does Pinterest work? I think a lot of people think about Pinterest as the place where you plan a wedding, or save ideas for remodeling your kitchen, but the reality is pinterest has 553 million monthly active users and reaches 40% of US households with an annual income over $150K. I don't know about you, but as a business owner, who uses their podcast to grow their business, those are the kind of stats I want to hear.Follow me on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/morganfranklinmedia/

Nashville's own Benji Harris, a gifted songwriter and composer, joins us to unravel the profound influence of music on the corporate world. From his early days forming a band in middle school to sharing stages with country stars, Benji has skillfully woven his experiences into his work with Song Division—pioneering a unique approach to employee engagement and company culture through music. Prepare to be captivated by his journey and insights on using music to transform attitudes and behaviors within corporate environments. Explore the power of musical team-building exercises where skepticism morphs into enthusiasm and teamwork. Benji sheds light on the science behind these experiences, from the release of dopamine and oxytocin, to the tangible shift in mood and collaboration among team members. He emphasizes the fun factor with engaging elements like costumes and props, which break down barriers and foster genuine connections. This approach not only reinforces core values but also creates a memorable shared experience that lingers long after the event. Our conversation goes beyond music to reveal how Sandler training techniques can revolutionize communication, both in sales and personal interactions. We touch on the concept of "planned spontaneity," where preparation meets intuition for a seamless presentation style. Whether you're aiming to boost team cohesion or enhance your leadership skills, the insights shared in this episode offer a fresh perspective on nurturing a cohesive work environment. Tune in to discover how music and communication strategies can lead to meaningful professional and personal growth. (00:02) Music in Corporate Culture (11:31) Musical Team Building Experiences (20:07) The Power of Musical Team Building (33:27) Effective Communication Techniques in Sales (46:03) Podcast Promotion and Copyright Protection (00:02) Music in Corporate Culture This chapter welcomes Nashville-based songwriter, composer, and educator Benji Harris, who shares his journey from discovering the emotional power of music as a child to becoming a professional musician. We explore Benji's path, from forming his first band in middle school to performing with country stars and eventually finding his place in Nashville. The conversation shifts to his involvement with Song Division, a company that brings music into the corporate world to enhance employee engagement and company culture. Benji explains how Song Division uses music as a universal language to foster connection, bonding, and retention among teams through unique musical experiences at corporate events. The discussion touches on the synergy between music and corporate culture, highlighting how music can influence attitudes and behaviors, aligning with concepts like Sandler's success triangle of behavior, attitude, and technique. (11:31) Musical Team Building Experiences This chapter explores the transformative power of music in team-building activities within corporate environments. I discuss how music can effectively convey core values by not only highlighting their importance but also illustrating the consequences of not adhering to them. By engaging participants in a unique song-writing exercise, where initial skepticism and discomfort give way to excitement and camaraderie, teams experience a tangible shift in behavior and mindset. This process leverages the science of music to foster dopamine and oxytocin release, enhancing mood and bonding among team members. By providing fun elements like costumes and props, we encourage participants to embrace the experience fully, resulting in improved collaboration and lasting connections. (20:07) The Power of Musical Team Building This chapter explores the transformative power of music in building team cohesion and enhancing leadership development. We discuss the often-overlooked element of trust within new teams, emphasizing its critical role alongside technical aspects like roles and responsibilities. The chapter highlights a unique program that uses music as a tool to foster trust and understanding among team members, allowing them to connect on a deeper level by sharing personal motivations and values. Through songwriting, teams create a shared experience that breaks down workplace barriers, encouraging open communication and strengthening company culture. We reflect on the reactions of executives who witness the unexpected yet powerful impact of this approach, affirming the importance of innovative strategies in nurturing a positive and cohesive work environment. (33:27) Effective Communication Techniques in Sales This chapter explores the transformative impact of Sandler training on both professional and personal interactions. I discuss how the Sandler method has revolutionized my sales approach by providing a structured way to guide conversations with potential clients, emphasizing the importance of asking the right questions and allowing the client to do most of the talking. This methodology extends beyond the sales environment, influencing personal relationships and interactions. We also examine the concept of "planned spontaneity," where preparation and practice allow for a confident, flexible presentation style that appears spontaneous to the audience. Sharing experiences from being on stage, I highlight how self-deprecation and audience engagement create a relaxed atmosphere, making presentations more relatable and enjoyable. Through these strategies, the chapter underscores the value of preparation, intuition, and adaptability in effectively connecting with an audience. (46:03) Podcast Promotion and Copyright Protection This chapter is an introduction to the How to Succeed podcast featuring Benji Harris. I invite you to stay tuned for our upcoming episodes, which will be available for download on your favorite podcast platforms. Our goal is to provide valuable insights and strategies to help you succeed in your endeavors. I look forward to sharing more content with you soon, and until then, I wish you good selling.

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.

On this episode, I want to give you the Podcast Talent Coach best of 2024. These are the most downloaded episodes of the past year. IT WAS QUITE THE YEAR 2024 was quite the year for me and Podcast Talent Coach. We've seen many ups and downs. At the end of 2023, I received and email from my mentor that he was fighting cancer. He would lose that battle in February. That started the year with a kick to the gut. Over the past twelve months, I've been able to help dozens of entrepreneurs launch their podcast. We have grown quite a few with the Audience Explosion Blueprint. In September, we had another fantastic Podcast Profits Summit. And I've worked with my coach to refine my business and make my content and focus even stronger. I can't thank you enough for being here on this journey. It was been an amazing year full of realizations, learning and love. This road we are on can get a little crazy. Keep reminding yourself that it's all about the journey and not the destination. Let's take a look back over the biggest and most popular episodes of the past year. Maybe you missed them. Perhaps you want to revisit the nuggets in each. Whatever the case, here are the most popular episodes of 2024. BEST OF #7 Starting the list at number seven is Connecting With Your Personality – PTC 488. On this episode, I want to share with you a session I did recently during my Audience Explosion Blueprint Workshop. This was a powerful 3-day workshop where I helped a group of podcasters build their strategy to grow their audience. This particular session will help you develop your personality and begin building powerful relationships with your audience. Here is a sample of that episode. "If all you're doing is speaking to the 3% that are in the market to buy today to fix the solution today, you're missing 97% of your market." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/488. BEST OF #6 The episode hitting the list at number six is What is Your Biggest Challenge? – PTC 483 I recently asked that recently of podcasters on my email list, "What is your biggest challenge?" On this episode, I'll help you through a few of them. Here are a few of the questions I received... I'm trying all the things to increase downloads. My biggest challenge is getting the guests to share the episode. My biggest barrier is lack of courage to put myself out there. Learning to build an interactive community around the podcast is my biggest challenge. I'd love to have a strategy in place before I launch, then I know what I'm aiming for! How do you choose a podcast name? Here is a sample of that episode. "Remember, community comes from relationships, which is why I'm such a huge proponent of building relationships with your podcast." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/483. BEST OF #5 Number five on the list of the Best of 2024 is Podcast Promotion Questions – PTC 480 When it comes to growing our podcast, I get many questions about podcast promotion. How do we get in front of new listeners and invite them into our show? On this episode, we'll answer a variety of questions about podcast promotion. Here is a sample of that episode. "Studies show that the average podcast listener consumes about 7 episodes, 7 podcasts, different podcasts every week. And about 30% consume 11 or more different shows a week." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/480. BEST OF #4 Number four on the list is Dave Jackson – Profit From Your Podcast – PTC 485 Many podcasters want to create a profit from their podcast. However, most lack a strategy to generate revenue and grow their business. Dave Jackson is the host of the School of Podcasting podcast. He is also author of the best seller Profit From Your Podcast: Proven Strategies To Turn Listeners Into a Livelihood. He launched the School of Podcasting in 2005 and was inducted into the Podcasting Hall of Fame in 2018. Dave joined me on the Podcast Profits Summit to talk about overcoming your challenges without spending thousands of dollars. I want to share that session with you today. Here is a sample of that episode. "When I moved into this house had no carpet, and it was just this giant echo chamber. So the first thing I did was, like, okay. We need we need a carpet. We need some rug, something like that." "There's a really popular microphone called the Blue Yeti. And technically, it's not a bad microphone, but what most people overlook is that thing can pick up, if you want, in every single direction. Well, that's just screaming, pick up the neighbor's lawnmower and everything else." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/485. BEST OF #3 Making the list of the Best of 2024 from Podcast Talent Coach is Cindy J. and Making Money – PTC 479 When coaches come to me for assistance, one of the most common challenges is making money with their podcast. Most are using their show incorrectly and spending time in the wrong places with the wrong activities. There is a misconception about podcasting. You make money WITH your podcast, not FROM your podcast. I want to help you spend more of your time on money making activities. Cindy J. Holbrook the Visibility Wiz joins me on the show today. She guides entrepreneurs and small business owners to thrive as you go up the ladder from being the best-kept secret to Trusted and In-Demand Authority. Cindy J. has been coaching since 2009. She has been my coach and she's one of the best in the business. On this episode, Cindy shows us how to spend our time on the right money making activities, so we can generate revenue with our podcast. Here is a sample of that episode. "If you start doing something every day, you make sure you do at least one money making activity Monday through Friday or whatever your work days are. You're going to start seeing an increase in everything, in visibility, influence, and profits." You can hear that episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/479. BEST OF #2 One spot from the top in at #2 on the list is Turn Your Podcast Into A Book – PTC 477 Are you ready to turn your podcast into a book? Each week you work hard to spread your message and share your vision. If you produce an episode a week, you'll have 50 episodes in just under a year. With four pages of show notes (or 1,200 words), you could turn your podcast into a book. But, why would you want to go through all the work to write a book? There are six big reasons. We dive into those reasons on this episode. There is great news. You don't need to write the entire book yourself. Steven Leapley is an executive ghostwriter from Southern California. He helps creative people like you write their book. Steven joins us today to help us discover how to turn our podcast into a book. Here is a sample of that episode. "But I think the the biggest challenge is... it comes down to to honestly fear. There's you know, to to pull the trigger and actually write your book. You know, it's like, there there's a there's a fear of of is it gonna get finished? There's a fear of am I gonna get taken for, you know, taken? You know, there's a fear of am I good enough?"
