50. What I've Learned From Starting a Podcast

It seems like just yesterday I started this podcast—and at the same time like I’ve been thinking about starting one forever. It’s been a great connection point with my audience, and I’ve already seen direct results in my business. If you’re in the same boat as me, thinking of starting a podcast for too long but unsure of where to start, I’m going to share everything I’ve learned along the way that you can apply to your own podcast, whether you’re thinking of starting one or already have one running. I also share how to position your podcast to grow your listeners and your business, podcasting social media strategies, and more.In this episode, you’ll hear…04:15 - Having the right expectations for your podcast06:50 - Giving your audience what they want10:34 - Setting up your podcast and business to support each other12:40 - What to do when you’re thinking of starting a podcast17:54 - Having a business plan for your podcast21:01 - Things to keep in mind when starting your podcast28:28 - How to make your social media and podcast work together32:52 - Leading people into your business33:29 - Having a review strategy35:22 - Batch recording your podcastIn our review of the week, amandathecoach said: "I purchased Sam’s Ultimate Bundle® in Fall 2021 as my very first step in starting my brand new company and then I started listening to her podcast. In addition to being a legal expert who somehow always answers my questions before I’ve asked them, she is a successful businesswoman who does not hold back on sharing great advice to start and run a growing business with a solid foundation. Everything she offers is super high quality and worth my time and energy. I love that she continues to connect me with other experts too through her podcast and other offers!"If you’d like a shoutout (and a chance to win a $20 gift card), just leave a review on Apple Podcasts and send a screenshot of it to me on Instagram via DMs!Click here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.RESOURCES:Follow Jen Diaz on Instagram: @jenmdiazEpisode 38.
