Dave Jackson is a podcast consultant who helps people plan, launch, grow, and monetize their podcasts. He began podcasting in 2005 and launched the School of Podcasting, which has more than 2.7 million downloads. He's the author of the book Profit From Your Podcast and is a featured speaker at events. In 2016, Dave joined Libsyn, which is one of the largest podcast hosting companies.    In today's episode, we're going to discuss Dave's journey to podcasting and three of his key strategies to hosting a successful podcast.   Dave's Journey to Podcasting    Dave began his journey as a teacher and taught in the corporate world for about 20 years. “The great thing about being a teacher is you get to help people all the time,” Dave said.    While he loved teaching, he wanted to find a new way to help people beyond the corporate world. A friend told him about podcasting, so he googled it to find one and a half pages of results. Podcasts weren't big at the time, but as he continued to do his research, he realized the shift towards podcasts was going to be a tectonic shift in the future.    Dave went back to school to get his degree and started a podcast, while also working other side jobs to help support himself until he could build a big-enough audience to make money with his podcast. What really got him hooked on the idea was his first voicemail from an audience member. Someone from Germany reached out to him to let him know how inspired he was from his podcast. That's when Dave realized he could teach through podcasts and help people from around the world.    “I got to help people, and I [thought it was] the best thing ever,” Dave said. “That's when I decided I was going to launch the School of Podcasting. I just knew if I waited long enough, it would catch up.”   Since then, podcasting has grown exponentially with more than two million active podcasts and more than 48 million episodes as of April 2021 (Source: Podcast Insights).    In 2016, Dave joined Libsyn where he helps customers with questions about building their own podcast. He'd been a customer for Libsyn for 10 years when he gave them a call. He told them he had bad news and good news. He was out of a job, but it meant he was available to work for them. He also told them about his podcast, School of Podcasting.   His podcast wasn't just a way for him to make a profit or to help his listeners. It also helped him get a job. He has been hired three times because of his podcast. His podcast gave him an opportunity to show people he knew what he was talking about. “Our podcast isn't, in many cases, our business, it's our business card. It's what allows people to get to know you without making a giant commercial,” Dave said.    While Dave works at Libsyn, he continues to host his own podcast at the same time. With years of experience in the podcasting world, he has learned many lessons and key strategies we should implement in our own podcast. Here are three of them.    Focus on a Specific Niche   The biggest mistake Dave sees podcasters make is trying to be everything for everyone. People often want to start a podcast with a very vague goal in mind. For example, someone may start a podcast with the idea to interview people with interesting stories. But what are those interesting stories? What is going to make someone want to listen to us over others?    If we don't bring in an audience, we don't have a podcast. Generic and wide-ranging goals don't work 99% of the time. If we want to host a successful podcast, we need to focus on a specific niche audience.    Dave said that people often come to him with a goal to get sponsored, but sponsorships only happen if we have a large audience and can get massive downloads. And we only get massive downloads, if we are speaking to a specific group. We want to appeal to the needs and wants of a target audience. If we aim to meet the needs of everyone, we will end up meeting the needs of no one.    Even if we host a great podcast with a specific audience in mind, it can still be really difficult to get enough downloads to actually make money off a sponsorship. Instead, Dave recommends going even further and directing our podcast to an ever-smaller audience. “You don't have to have a ton of listeners if you have a hyper-niche show,” Dave said.    If we have a very direct, niche audience, we can get sponsored by other companies who have a similar audience to us. They will choose to sponsor us over others because we have such a specific audience that their product or service will resonate with.    For example, Dave had a client who ran a podcast called Special Mouse, a guide to the Disney Parks for guests with health issues and special needs. She didn't even have a thousand downloads in an episode, and yet she got a sponsor. Why? Because there was somebody in Florida that specialized in transporting people with special needs. The sponsor knew Special Mouse would reach their audience because it was such a hyper-niche.    Get Personal   In our podcasts, we should get personal.    Dave explained that one of the biggest business tectonic shifts that have happened over the last decade is the shift towards podcasts. Podcasts have become easier and easier to create. Technology exists that allows anyone to create a podcast. This is both good and bad. While podcasting has gotten easier, it also means the number of podcasts out there has increased. We can find a podcast on just about anything so why is someone going to choose to listen to our podcast over the millions of others out there?   “Why are you doing this? How are you going to be different [from] the other people you know?” Dave asked. “You have to have [something] that's going to set you apart, that is going to make a difference. You have to share a little bit about yourself if you really want people to connect with you.”   This doesn't mean we have to reveal our darkest secrets or tell our audience everything that goes on in our days. It means we have to show our personality. We have to show what makes us unique. Sometimes this means sharing our hobbies or a funny story that happened during our day, but it has to be something that relates to the topic of our episodes.    “If you can share stories about your life that help accentuates whatever point you're trying to make, you do two things: you make your point, and you allow your audience to get to know you. You start to build that relationship,” Dave said.    Talk to One Person   We should talk to one person when we talk on a podcast. This means referencing our listeners as “you” instead of referencing a group of people as if we are speaking at a live event.    Most people don't listen to podcasts with others. It's often an independent activity. They don't sit down with a group of friends on a couch to listen to an audio-only file while staring at the wall. They listen to podcasts while they're driving, cleaning, or they slip in headphones and listen to a podcast while they are at the gym.    64% of podcast listeners listen to podcasts while on the road (Source: Semrush Blog) and 76% of Americans drive to work alone every day (Source: Brookings.edu). 59% of people listen to podcasts while doing housework or chores, and 87% of podcast listeners said podcasts are enjoyable because they can listen to them while doing other things (Source: Semrush Blog). This means, when someone is listening to our podcasts, they are often alone. Our podcast episodes can feel a lot more personal because of this as it will feel like we are talking directly to the listener.    “When you do a solo show, number one, do not follow the advice of a YouTuber and start off with ‘Hey guys,'” Dave said. Instead, we should talk to the listener as if it is a one-on-one conversation with them. At the end of the podcast, we can thank them for listening, not “thanks, everyone.”   “I have people tell me all the time, ‘I always kind of feel like you're talking to me' and I would say, ‘It's because I am,'” Dave said. Podcasts are a great way to connect with our listeners since it is such an independent activity. We can take advantage of this personal “conversation” and make sure we talk to them specifically, not a general group of people.    Key Takeaways   Thank you so much Dave for sharing your stories and insights with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode:   Our podcast isn't just our business, it can also be our business card. If we want to host a successful podcast, we need to focus on a specific niche audience. We don't have to have thousands of listeners to be successful if we can really narrow down our target audience and serve them well. In our podcasts, we should get personal. There are millions of podcasts out there so we need to find what makes us unique and share it so our listeners will choose us. We can share stories about our life to help get our point across and allow our audience to get to know us and connect with us. We should talk to one person when we talk on a podcast. This means referencing our listeners as “you” instead of referencing a group of people.   Connect with Dave   If you want to learn more about or connect with Dave, you can: Find him on LinkedIn Listen to his podcasts School of Podcasting or Profit from Your Podcast    Want to be a Better Digital Monetizer?   Please follow these channels to receive free digital monetization content:   Get a free Passion Marketing ebook and learn how to be a top priority of your ideal customers.

Episode 008: Girl Meets KathyWe’re getting a spoonful of...something, Lucas say what?, and I discuss a special episode of Girl Meets World about the autism spectrum with Kathy Kelly of Special Mouse.Show Noteswww.mouseflicks.comwww.facebook.com/MouseFlicks Twitter: @MouseFlicksCast

This week Jennifer and Sara are joined by Kathy Kelly - Host of Special Mouse, a podcast for guests with special needs traveling to Disney. Kathy will be sharing her tips for first time visitors to the parks and answering some listener questions. Plus an update from AllEars.Net, listener celebrations, and more!

Kathy Kelly's passion for Disney World and helping others with Autism and other special needs navigate the parks sparked Special Mouse blog and podcast! Connect with Kathy Kelly of Special Mouse! Special Mouse @KathKellyRN I am so fortunate to be able to have Kathleen Kelly of Special Mouse to talk about how she got started. As well as why her message of Disney World being for everybody, is so important to her. I want to help Kathly by supporting her Kickstarter Campaign to develop her first book all about making Disney World more magical for families dealing with Autism. I am proud to donate $40 to her cause, and I hope you are able to as well. I personally do not have family members with Autism, but I get asked a lot to help others plan their vacations to Disney World, and I figured having the book in my arsenal of advice would be very valuable. Please watch the video below! :) More about Special Mouse Podcast For most Disney fans, podcasts are a rich source of both information and entertainment. What is a podcast? Think of it like an online, on-demand radio show. There are many podcasts that discuss just about everything Disney – news & rumors, theme park history, runDisney events , Disney weddings – you name it! But, until today, no one has devoted a show to the interests and concerns of guests with special needs and health issues. The Special Mouse Podcast was created to fill that void. In 2012 attendance for Walt Disney Attractions worldwide was over 126 million. That's a lot of people!  Now, think of all those guests who must have had some sort of special need that affected their vacation experience – not just those with mobility issues – but those living with developmental disabilities, heart conditions, vision or hearing loss, food allergies – the list is endless! Fortunately, theDisney Parks and the Disney Cruise line are second to none when it comes to hospitality, inclusiveness and customer service. Nevertheless, when traveling with health issues and special needs it's natural to have a host of questions and concerns. Some might even worry that they would be a burden to their families or that their challenges would be too much trouble to manage while on vacation. At one time I felt the same way. Our family first visited Walt Disney World in 2003.  I was excited but also somewhat apprehensive. Our youngest child had recently been diagnosed with classic regressive Autism and had numerous sensory, communication and behavioral issues. After a good deal of preparation, our Disney experience was nothing short of magical! Since then we have returned again and again because there is no other vacation destination that better suits the particular needs of our family. In 2006 I discovered a vibrant Disney online community and began to participate in several message boards, namely the Trip Report forum on DISboards where I wrote about our family's Adventures in Autism. There I met a great number of people who shared a similar love of Walt Disney World, many of whom I eventually met in person and am friends with to this day!  I started blogging about Disney and Autism in November, 2009 (Disney-Lovin' Spectrum Mom) and began writing a special-needs column for WDW Fan Zone  in January of 2011 (Faces in the Queue). Over the years I've developed numerous friendships and a passion for helping others discover that Disney is both willing and able to accommodate the special-needs traveler. It is my sincere hope that this podcast will be a source of both information and inspiration to those who live with and/or care for those with special needs. You deserve a vacation!  Here at Special Mouse we firmly believe that The Magic is for Everyone. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/522828044/walt-disney-world-with-autism-a-special-needs-guid Episode 170

As Mick Jones of Big Audio Dynamite sings at the end of 'The Bottom Line': gonna take you to, gonna take you to, gonna take you to Part 2... Anybody? No? Okay. Anyway, yes, this is Part 2 of episode 42, and we think it stands up pretty well to Part 1! First, Mike and Emily discuss the recently-unveiled (and adorable) teaser trailer for Disney/Marvel's Big Hero 6, then Clare and Lou return, to round off the MouseMeets discussion with all of the fun of day 2. Mike and Emily return, for a little bit of editorial discussion that's a lot more interesting than that might sound, and then it's time for a slightly long outro that reminds us all to Be Proud!

Podcast Brand Positioning – PTC 025 At NMX 2014 in Las Vegas at the beginning of January, I discovered a ton of great podcasts and met many new, fantastic people. Here are a few of the new podcasts I've been enjoying lately. “The Feed” with Elsie Escobar, Libsyn's podcast “Unpodcast” with Scott Stratten & Alison Kramer “Penn's Sunday School” with Penn Jillette “Fat-Burning Man” with Abel James “The Solopreneur Hour” with Michael O'Neal “Beyond the To Do List” with Erik J. Fisher “Podcast 411” with Rob from Libsyn As I was listening to new podcasts, I heard one particular show get concerned over a critical review he received from anonymous individual. I understand podcasters are concerned with reviews. Your show is your art. It is your baby they are calling ugly. Please remember, one listener is such a small percentage of your overall listenership. There will always be somebody critical of you and your point of view. If you have 100 listeners, that is only 1% of your audience. If you have people commenting one way or the other, positively or negatively, at least you are making them care. Trying to ride the fence is a lonely place. Stir some emotion. Your firm dedication to your position is critical for your brand. Stand for something. Politicians aren't trusted, because they constantly change their mind. Be concrete in your beliefs. If you love something, shout it from the rooftops. If you really dislike something, be open about it. Either way, stand your ground for the health of your brand. On the show this week, we discuss ... 7 Ways To Protect The Positioning Of Your Podcast Brand 1. Talk about what you care about - Find topics that excite you 2. Show prep – Know your position 3. Have a goal for every episode – When listening to “Smart Passive Income” with Pat Flynn, Pat said podcasters and speakers should always ask, “What transformation do you hope to have happen for your audience?” 4. Make it interesting by being interested – Even with guests 5. Don't take the first idea, work a topic Various things to do with a topic Doesn't always have to be an interview Parody song, skit, long form report with natural sound (experience), demonstration 6. Never be boring – Do something unexpected 7. Have a strategy – Not only what you hope to accomplish, but how to accomplish & how it affects the brand.
