At some point, many podcasters feel the need to share the knowledge they have gained with other less experienced podcasters. But how you do that, and how you bill yourself and the materials you have to present matters.  Do We Need Another Book About Podcasting?   There’s always room for more books about podcasting. But have you amassed the experience necessary to allow you to fill a book about podcasting? This may come off a bit hypocritical of me, as I had less than a year of podcasting experience under my belt when I started writing https://www.wiley.com/en-mq/Podcasting+For+Dummies-p-9780471748984 (Podcasting for Dummies). The same goes for the other early podcasting books like https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1887056.Podcasting (Podcasting: Do-It-Yourself Guide), written by http://twitter.com/geeknews (Todd Cochrane) of https://blubrry.com/ (Blubbry) and http://vig-fp.pearsoned.com/educator/product/Tricks-of-the-Podcasting-Masters/9780789735744.page (Tricks of The Podcasting Masters), written http://twitter.com/podcast411 (Rob Walsh) from https://libsyn.com/ (Libsyn).  But a lot of time has passed, and podcasting is no longer brand new. So while you can write a book about podcasting today, there’s a lot of ground—and history—to cover. Are you up to that task? Should You Write A How-To Podcast Course? If you feel you really do have a unique take on podcasting that is worthy of a course, then yes, absolutely, you should make that course. But take some time to do some research on what already is out there, and have a self-check-in to make sure you can deliver the goods. Reputation matters in this space, and there are plenty of people with tarnished reputations in podcasting. We have a long memory. You really don’t want to be That Guy. Should You Become A Podcast Coach? If you do want to coach, drill down on what you do best. If audio engineering is your kick, then maybe you can coach people on getting the most out of a particular DAW or a select group of audio plugins. Perhaps you’re an excellent editor of the written word and could coach people on transforming text written to be read into something written to be narrated and heard. Or maybe you’re a Speech-Language Pathologist and are able to coach podcasters on how to get the most of out their voice as a vocal coach.  Is Podcast Mentorship Right For You? If you're a regular listener/reader of my content and you've been podcasting for a while, you’d probably make a great mentor for another podcaster! I prefer unstructured mentor/mentee relationships (hi, https://twitter.com/steph_colbourn (Steph)!) and mentorships that are free. Just remember that being a mentor is not the same thing as being a coach or a teacher. The dynamic is different when the person on the other end is a student. The expectation of the one passing on the knowledge—that’s you—is different as well. To me, mentorship is much more general and open-ended in nature. Coaching and teaching tend to be best when they are highly specialized and have a well-defined goal, outcome, and end-date. So which is the right approach for you? Suggestion: get your peers involved and crowdsource the decision. Reach out to a small number of people you trust—people who know you and who won’t bullshit you—asking for their input. Include a link to this article so they can quickly understand the possibilities and pitfalls. Then review their feedback and make your best decision.  Tomorrow morning, I’ll be hosting a room on Clubhouse that’s all about https://www.joinclubhouse.com/event/xBg3DY57 (keeping the magic of podcasting alive in you, the person behind the microphone). I’d love for you to join me. And do let me know if you need an invite. I have a few to spare. ----- Read the full article and share with a friend: https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/how-to-share-your-podcasting-brilliance-not-be-a-jerk-about-it...

The best conversations in life always seem to be the ones where you learn something new about the person you're talking to. Whether it's the cashier at the grocery story store, a colleague at work, or even your spouse...getting to a level you've never gotten to before is good. Special even. Today, while talking with Rob Walch from Libsyn on My Worst Interview Ever, we got to that level. It was unexpected (for both of us, I think), but it was good. After discussing his "worst interview ever", Rob shared a story that few people have heard before. It involved an airplane. And anger. And a stupid decision that almost cost him everything. It changed his life, and I'll bet it could change yours as well. Rob Walch is the VP of Podcaster Relations at Libsyn (the world’s largest podcast network). He hosts or co-hosts several podcasts himself (including Podcast411), co-wrote the book “Tricks of the Podcasting Masters”, and has been the podcast consultant for a number of big names including Tim Ferriss, Senator John Edwards, Jack Welch, and many others.

Guest, Rob Walch, Vice President of Podcaster Relations with Libsyn There was a time when E-mail was the new kid on the block. America Online (AOL) was a major player, then anyone could get their own free hotmail.com address. As Erik Qualman mentioned in our recent episode, Customer Service Goes Social, contact with others went from mainly over the phone, to via E-mail. And along came websites—everyone in business, as well as non-profits and governmental offices, incorporated having a website into their normal expectations. It opened up e-commerce, as you could “hang up a shingle” on the world wide web and be open for business. To keep followers apprised and educated, many added channels such as blogs, video on one's website or on YouTube. And of course, social media now includes a myriad of tools to choose from. Today you will be treated to an update on another medium, one that may become as standard as a website in the coming future and as personal as a video message, but with fewer demands on you, the source, and the consumer. Because, let's face it, if video is nothing more than a talking head, is it really worth not only your time to produce, but the visual attention it asks for from your audience? I used to call what we do online radio, but technically, that refers to “terrestrial radio stations”—those that broadcast over the air waves from big towers—that are increasingly adding Internet streaming of their live programming so they can be accessed live, in real time, over the Internet instead of on a radio, or they are uploading broadcast programs to be listened to later, upon demand. That would be “Internet radio.” Whereas the episodes of this show are expressly created to be uploaded to the Internet where you can listen to them at your convenience and on any device. This is a podcast. So I am embracing the label podcasting. I am a podcaster, and proud of it. There will be many more of us soon. I'm your host Jane Karwoski, and today you will be hearing from Rob Walch, the Vice President of Podcaster Relations with Libsyn/FAB Universal and co-author of the book Tricks of the Podcasting Masters. He loves to help businesses and individuals launch their podcast and teach them how to become successful Podcasters. In addition, he is the host of several podcasts himself! Including podCast411, and Today in iOS. He also co-hosts Today in Podcasting and The Feed: Podcasting Tips for Everyone. You know, I think Rob has found his calling, it is podcasting!! Congratulations to Libsyn on their new partnership with Spotify. I remember asking one of my college students where teens today hear new music, if not on the pop-music radio stations of yore. And her answer was Spotify. What made partnering with Spotify attractive to Libsyn? Exactly that, the millennials. Libsyn definitely wants to introduce podcast listening to the younger generation and make it a habit throughout their life. Millennials are usually described as born before 2000, or between 15 and 35 years of age—late teens through early adults. During the current beta stage, Libsyn content is now available to about 10% of Spotify listeners in the US, UK, Germany, and Sweden. Spotify has its own podcast and opened a Libsyn account to get their podcast into Spotify! Although focusing on podcast content especially of interest to millennials, they will eventually open up to virtually all podcasts. In that way, listeners will stay on the Spotify platform rather than go “where everything is.” Currently, listeners from 35 to 55 seem to generate the majority of podcast downloads. Spotify's audience is primarily 12 to 35. With an average of 75 million monthly users, the partnership between Libsyn and Spotify doubles the number of potential podcast listeners. Libsyn makes it easy for podcasters to release their content to various destinations such as iTunes, SoundCloud, TuneIn Radio, etc. Although the beta Spotify is for iOS, the Android access will soon be available, which is ...

Your Audience Will Binge Listen When They Find You Steve Steward produces the Moneyplan SOS podast (learn to pay attention instead of interest), and he had a listener who found his show and downloaded a ton of episodes and listened to them all as he went on a long trip in the car. Today we talk about making great content that connects with people, and obviously Steve is doing a great job. What is Podfading? Podfaing is when your show just stops producting content. There is no "final show" it just stops. The term was invented by Scott Fletcher of the now podfaded show Podcheck Review. According to the Urban Dictionary "A podcast that after a while becomes less and less frequently updated and then blinks out altogether." The Top Six Reason People Podfade According the the Book Tricks of the Podcasting Masters from Rob Walch and Murr Laferty (A great book from 2006) they list the top five reasons people podfade. Lack of time Lack of interest Lack of material Lack of listeners Lack of funds I add to this: Lack of FUN. Lack of Time If you TURN OFF YOUR TV, you will have time to podcast. But realize there is a 4 to 1 ration. This means that for every one minute of finished podcast it will take you four minutes to produce it. You need to know this up front so you don't say I'm going to do a 30 minute podcast 5 days a week. That's 150 minutes of total episode, so multiply that by 4 and you get 600 minutes of time to create those episodes (10 HOURS). Do you have an extra 10 hours PER WEEK (40 hours per month) to produce a show that will more than likely generate zero income for the first few months? Lack of Interest I once started a "Customer Service Show" where I spotlighted my experience as an award winning customer service representative. It turned out that I just reported on the bad customer service I received everywhere I went. I sounded like a grump old man. After a few shows, I just lost interest. I wasn't really that passionate about that topic. I thought I should podcast about what I know. You should podcast about what you are passionate about. If you are not interested in your topic, maybe bring in a co-host or mix up the format. Lack of Materials My wife and I did a "Dates from Hell Show" where we told stories of horrible dates we had experienced. We thought our audience would chime in with their stories. The bad news is we didn't have an audience, and nobody chimed in. I have a tutorial at the School of Podcasting that shows how to use the Website Feedly.com to have all sort of content come to you. Lack of material can change a podcast from Fun to "Feeling like work." That always leads to podfading. Lack of Listeners Never use the word "Only" when describing your download numbers. Last week I had 18 people in a classroom. If I "Only" had 70 downloads, that would be 3.5 classrooms of people. Currently according to Rob Walch the VP of Podcast relations at Libsyn.com the median download of a typical podcast is around 170 (as of May 2014). So 50% of podcasters have over 170, and the other 50% don't. With the right content, you can find yourself in the hundreds of downloads, and eventually the thousand of downloads. It takes time. It takes good content. It also takes you GOING to where your target audience is and networking with them. Lack of Funds Once you have purchased your equipment, the ongoing price of a podcast is around $30 a month (less if your shows are shorter). I've spoken about finding money to podcast in the past. If you want it, you can find it. Some of the things you can do is podcast in mono (it cuts your file size in half - which lowers your media hosting bill). Also if you "take a break" then you can lower your storage space on your media host to the lowest level (just to keep your account active) and then raise it back up when you return. Lack of Fun When you have no time, interest, or money for your podcast it becomes work. When you have to struggle to find content - GOOD content - it becomes a burden. Consistently GOOD Content While I'm not saying its OK to podcast "whenever you want," I would recommend keeping a schedule if you want to be seen as reliable. With this in mind 2 of the top 5 podcasts produce shows on varied lengths on various schedules. What they DO deliver on is great content when they do. These podcasts are the Joe Rogan experience and Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Life Changing Events Lead To Podfading Babies are wonderful bundles of joy, but they take over your life. Their schedule dictates YOUR schedule. When you move to a new location, or get a new job, or grow a spouse, etc. All of these can lead you to shifting your life's priorities. I'm here to say, "It's OK." Ryan Parker of the Food Craftsmen Podcast stated, "Nobody is going to punch you in the face." Would You Punch Fonzie For Jumping the Shark? Unless you're the Simpson's television show, most shows eventually stop production. Growing up I loved Happy Days, Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, Family Ties, and more. They all eventually stopped. Do I hate the actors? No. I would love to shake Henry Winkler's hand. I think he is a phenomenal human being. Consequently, if you're no longer enjoying producing your podcast maybe you should shut it down. Let your audience know you're taking a break. If after the break is over, you still don't want to produce it - record one more episode and explain that you're done. Nobody will punch you in the face. How to Avoid Permanently Podfading? The first question to ask is should you avoid podfading. Ryan Park mentions that we well thought out podcast that has 15 episodes could be planned and produced with that in mind. You could say, "This is episode 1 of 15" and let the audience know that this is intentional. There is no rule that says you have to go on forever. One of the key steps to avoid podfading is to put some thought into it when you start. A properly planned podcast may help you avoid the starting - stopping - starting syndrome. Obsessing on Stats and Your Competition Will Not Create Good Content One of the things that STOP US from making great content is obsessing over stats. If we aren't looking at our download numbers, we are looking at our "Competition" and seeing how many sponsors they have. This (often) makes us envious and frustrated. Ken Blanchard speaks how he was one of the first Gun Shows on the Internet. Others have moved in over time and they have the magic touch and are getting sponsors. This leads many of use to think, "Hey what about me?" I know I think we all fall into this trap from time to time. Get A Large Amount of Episodes Recorded Before You Launch We all know that "Life happens" so if you have a life changing event, its nice to have a stockpile of podcast episodes to feed to your audience. If you don't you can always repurpose older shows that many not be so easy to find on your website, or are available in your feed anymore. Go in With Your Eyes Wide Open - Have Realistic Expectations If we just do the opposite of the above Set aside time Pick a topic we are uber-interested in Something we have a great stream of material We understand that growing an audience takes time. We shouldn't focus on "growing our audience fast" but instead, "What content would touch our audience the deepest?" We need to know that any hobby or small business costs money to maintain. $30 to reach a global audience is the best value on the internet. Lack of funds How to Properly Podfade If you know you are taking a hiatus (permanent or otherwise) it is always wise to keep you audience in the loop. Let them know when to expect you back. In the event you decide to call it quits, thank them for listening, and let them know where to find you. If you might come back, you may want to create a email list to alert people where they can sign up for future updates. Ryan Parker took a three month hiatus. He still created blog posts, and sent out email blasts, and in the end didn't see much of a dip in numbers. He was still communicating with his audience. He was just communicating in a different matter. Remember to lower your media hosting package to save money. You Can Always Come Back Rock bands like KISS, the Eagles, Cher, and others have done a "Last tour ever" tour. This is usually followed by the "We're out of money already" tour about four years later. There is no rule that says you can't come back. Just don't be surprised if you've lost some of your audience (possibly). Looking To Start a Podcast? If you'd like to avoid the headaches of podcasting, joing the School of Podcasting.
