552. Which Podcasting Best Practices Still Work?

Some podcasting habits have been around for years, but are they still helping your show today? In this episode, the morning show cast and crew debate which podcasting best practices still work, putting common habits like podcast intros, guest bios, ratings and reviews, and calls to action on trial. Instead of assuming the old rules still apply, the conversation looks at what actually connects with listeners and what may be worth rethinking. By the end, you may find yourself questioning a few of your own podcast routines and deciding what's worth keeping, changing, or leaving behind.Episode Highlights:[03:08] Game Rules Explained[06:13] The Traditional Intro Debate[12:21] Intro Length and Testing[18:30] Ratings and Reviews: Do They Still Matter?[31:51] Multiple CTAs Explained[35:48] Mentions vs. True Calls to Action[37:29] Research That Improves Conversion[38:38] CTA Delivery and Building Trust[45:09] Should You Read Guest Bios?[46:48] Better Guest Introductions[54:20] Why You Should Kill the "Tell Us About Yourself" PromptLinks & Resources:Feature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlightThe Podcasting Morning Show:⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningshow.com⁠⁠Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people⁠⁠Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠Book A Free Call With Marc:https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval⁠⁠Powered by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠Send in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠[email protected]⁠Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?
