But then, they backed off. In this episode of Podtastic Audio, I'm breaking down why that change almost happened, why they reversed course, and what it means for us indie podcasters.

Podcasting should be about connection, not comparison.

Molly Ruland stops by to explain how she started a branded podcast that brought in so many clients from season one that she had to pause it. For Molly, it is all about starting and building relationships with her guests. By conducting targeted outreach, she added 500 marketing people to her LinkedIn network, improving the relevance of her feed.When it comes to SEO, AI is interesting, but she advises against using "podcast lingo" and emojis in podcast show notes and metadata. Instead, she recommends focusing on using relevant keywords. We should be advising AI to use relevant keywords in our descriptions and have it use the AIDA approach.Takeaways: Molly Ruland emphasizes that authentic podcasting is about being yourself and not just a sales pitch. Building relationships through your podcast can lead to business opportunities without being pushy about it. SEO isn't just a buzzword; optimizing your podcast content can help increase its visibility and attract the right audience. Don't just focus on the numbers; create meaningful connections with your guests and audience. Because of My Podcast: Ralph Estep JrRalph has been an accountant for 30 years.

I ask my audience what their top pet peeves are just drive them nuts. We're spilling the beans on all the annoying things that make us want to tear our hair out while listening. We've got it all covered from podcasters who take forever to get to the good stuff to the dreaded mid-sentence ads that pop up like uninvited guests at a party. We also chat about the classic blunders that drive listeners nuts, like out-of-context clips and those cringe-worthy audio issues. So, grab your headphones and get ready to laugh and commiserate as we call out all the podcasting faux pas that need to be put to rest!Thanks to the Participants in This EpisodeSteve Stewart from SteveStewart.me and the Podcast Editor AcademyKim Newlove from the Pharmacist's Voice and the Perrysburg PodcastMark Lawley from the Practical Prepping show. Todd the Gator from the Guardian Downcast show.Zo Richardson from the Back Look Cinema show.York from Welcome to Earth Stories Show.Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting.Niel's GoFundMe Page and his Documentary The Messengers: A Podcast DocumentaryTakeaways: Podcasters need to stop dragging out the intro and just get to the point already. Volume fluctuations between hosts and guests are a major annoyance that can ruin a podcast. Out-of-context clips at the start of a podcast are confusing and just plain unnecessary. Too many commercials can turn a great podcast into a frustrating experience for listeners. Not including show notes wastes listeners' time and makes it hard to follow up on interesting topics. Don't tell me a book and then not put the link. Bad audio quality is the ultimate deal-breaker that makes me want to hit stop immediately.

YouTube just dropped a report on what makes content good, and spoiler alert: it's not just about looking pretty. Turns out, folks care way more about what's being said than how fancy the background is. If you want to create stuff that really resonates, whether it's on YouTube or just in audio, you gotta aim for emotional connection. You know, the kind that makes you laugh, cry, or think, not just scroll mindlessly. So, if you're ready to step up your content game and stop stressing over that bowl of cereal in the background, stick around!YouTube just dropped a bombshell report on what makes content tick, and honestly, it's a game-changer for all of us trying to create stuff that doesn't suck. So, I dove deep into this thing, and guess what? Turns out, whether you're slinging videos or just talking into a microphone like yours truly, the core principles of good content are pretty much the same. They say good content should make you laugh, cry, or at least think a little—basically, it needs to resonate. And if you're worried about your background lighting or if your hair is on point, spoiler alert: it doesn't matter as much as you think. We're talking about a study that found less than 1% of viewers care about visuals, and really, if your audio is clear and your video isn't shot in a black hole, you're already ahead of the game. But let's dive into the juicy bits. The report highlighted that emotional engagement is key. If your content doesn't hit people in the feels, you're just another background noise in their lives. And I get it; we all want to be relatable. If viewers can see themselves in your stories, you're golden. Authenticity is the name of the game—be real, be you, and stop trying to copy what everyone else is doing. This isn't a high school talent show where you're just trying to impress the popular kids; it's about creating a connection. So, whether you're crafting a podcast episode or filming a YouTube video, focus on being genuine and let your unique voice shine through. To wrap it up—what I gleaned from this report is that content creation isn't just about looking good or having the fanciest gear. It's about creating something that makes people feel like their time was well spent. And if you can throw in a good story or two, you're well on your way to winning their hearts (and ears). So roll up your sleeves, get comfy with your mic or camera, and remember: it's all about the content, my friends. Takeaways: YouTube's report shows that content is about connecting emotionally, not just visuals. Good content should make people feel something, whether it's laughter or nostalgia. Don't stress about backgrounds or fancy gear; clear audio is what really matters. Being authentic and relatable is key to engaging your audience effectively.
