No Engagement? Maybe You Should Check Your Website

Send us feedback/questions via TextEver wonder if daily podcasting helps or hurts? We break down how to use November-style challenges to build reps without burning yourself out, and why the best consistency is consistently delivering value. From there, we get real about “reality” podcasts: celebrity banter can skate by on fame, but most shows need a promise listeners can feel—make them laugh, teach them something, or save them time. If your friends love hanging out, great. If strangers stick around, you’ve got a show.We also dive deep into AI as a workflow multiplier. Show notes, chapters, and summaries can be generated in seconds, but they’re drafts you must refine. We share practical prompts, why FAQs boost discoverability, and the non-negotiable habit of checking links AI invents. Then we zoom out into platform hygiene: remove dead Google Podcasts links, test your contact form, and make your subscribe page obvious. Quiet fixes compound growth.Sponsors:PodcastBranding.co - They see you before they hear youBasedonastruestorypodcast.com - Comparing Hollywood with History?Video VersionMentioned In This EpisodeSchool of Podcastinghttps://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/joinPodpagehttp://www.trypodpage.comHome Gadget Geekshttps://www.homegadgegeeks.comOther Websites MentionedPod Indy (Podcasting Event)URL: podindy.comCDN – Bunny.net (for self-hosting media files)URL: bunny.netPodcast stats – OP3URL: op3.devPOD Chapters (Daniel’s chaptering tool)URL: podchapters.comBible Bites (Randy Black’s podcast)URL: bible-bytes.comShooting It Straight (Randy Black’s podcast)URL: shootingitstraight.netContent Creators Accountant (Ralph’s show)URL: contentcreatorsaccountant.comPodcast Hot Seat (Dave’s feedback/review service)URL: podcasthotseat.comPodPage (Website builder for podcasts)Try PodPage: trypodpage.comLearn PodPage: learnpodpage.comYouTube: PodPage HQPodcast Name Generator: podpage.com (scroll to footer for link)Camo Studio (Use iPhone as webcam)URL: reincubate.com/camoRiverside.fm (podcasting recording tool)URL: riverside.fmEV Mux (browser-based livestreaming tool)URL: evmux.comPodcast Rodeo Show (Dave’s podcast review show)URL: podcastrodeoshow.comTally (Free form tool for collecting submissions)URL: tally.soForm Robin (AppSumo purchased form tool – not recommended based on Dave’s experience)URL: https://supportthisshow.com/appsumo This week's awesome supporter is Greg from the Indie Drop-in Network.
