We lost Dan Miller a few weeks ago, and Dan was someone who I always walked about smarter after talking to him. I had him on the first episode of the Grow Your Community show, and today I'm replaying that episode. I also learned that Lee Silversteen who appeared on episode 539 has run out of options in regards to battling his cancer. So this episode is a bit "dark" but, well, sometimes life is dark...

About Dan Miller Dan is the author of the books , , , and more (check out ). is always bursting with common sense and insights that are often missing in today's business leaders. Dan speaks the truth based on his decades of helping entrepreneurs meet their goals. About Lee Silverstein Lee Silverstein was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 13 years ago. He started the podcast he needed to hear when the doctor said, "You have cancer." He has inspired MULTIPLE podcasts, and his legacy will live on long after Lee. From his Facebook page, Lee recently posted: I feel it’s time to make this official. After close to 13 years there are no more treatment options available to me.  I have begun in-home hospice service. I’m quite comfortable and not in any pain. I have far outlived any oncologist’s predictions and I'm grateful for that. I’m at peace and have no regrets. You give a podcast to a teach and they see it as a tool to help people learn. You give a podcast to a marketer and they see it as a too tool to sell. You give a podcast to a guy with stage 4 colon cancer, and he sees it as a tool to inspire. (and he did).

The goal of this episode is to help you understand what makes a GOOD podcast, and help you decide if you should also be a video podcast.  As it's the beginning of the year, MANY people will be selling you on how you can quit your job with no effort, no work, and how easy it is to leave the 9 to 5.

Making a Good Podcast Make sure you are doing two or more of the following: Laugh Cry Think Groan Educate Entertain If you do NONE of these you are boring your audience. Some other items I mentioned today: Relevence - When it comes to good content another key ingredient is relevance. When I heard the phrase ‘overwhelm” at a podcast conference FOUR TIMES I created episode 871 Overcoming Podcast Overwhelm: Three Free Tools and a Strategy. Authenticity - Be yourself. Authenticity builds a connection with your audience. Don't be afraid to show personality and vulnerability. Don’t let Chat GPT wash your personality out of your show. Storytelling - We love a good story. How can you make your show more entertaining? Tell a good story. Research - State your sources when available. We want people to trust us, and when we show the work we put into the show, it can help the listener trust what they are hearing. Rehearsal: Practice makes perfect. Rehearse your content to iron out any kinks and ensure smooth delivery. Timeliness: Stay current. If your podcast covers time-sensitive topics, make sure to provide up-to-date information. This is one of those, "it depends" topics. Bert Weiss Boils Podcasting Down to Two Items In the Book Bert Wiess (Hey Bert! Call me.

One Thing About Ratings and Reviews In Apple Podcasts (they don't help you in the algorithm). Per Apple: What the Apple charts measure: Apple Podcasts Charts reflect the most popular shows and episodes available in a given market and are designed to help people discover what to listen to next. They do not reflect all-time listening records and are not a measure of the largest podcasts by listenership. While the exact algorithm cannot be shared to protect their integrity, the charts measure a mix of the following: Listening: When listeners are engaging with episodes, it’s an indicator of content popularity. Follows: When listeners follow a show to receive new episodes, it’s an indicator of their intent to listen. Completion Rate: When listeners complete episodes, it’s an indicator of content quality. Ratings, reviews, and shares Although ratings, reviews, and shares also help indicate a podcast’s newness, popularity, and quality, they are not factored into the algorithm that determines the rankings for Top Shows and Top Episodes. In other words, they may not help people find a podcast on their own, but they influence whether people will listen or follow, and those factors influence the charts.

DAVEISMS Where your WHY and your WHO overlap, you will find your WHAT to talk about. If the goal is monetization, get ready to do your show for FREE for a few years. Less than 10% of podcasters get enough downloads to get a BIG sponsor Starring at your stats will not make your downloads grow; starring at your audience will. Monthly stats are crap ( the stat that people use downloads per episode after 30 days) Spend $100 on a microphone and 100 hours getting to know your audience. Creating a podcast is easy. Creating a GOOD podcast is hard but fun. Podcasting is a marathon, not a sprint. (again, it can take three years to build an audience ) Thinking a GIANT podcast launch will lead to an undeniable podcast success is like saying having a BIG wedding ensures marital bliss. In both cases, the real work is just beginning. You must have someone NOT named Mom to listen to your show and give honest feedback. There is no sense in paying to promote a show if it is not resonating with the audience. Downloads are great, but not as cool as consumption rate (seeing how far people listen can let you know how engaged your audience is) Having an obvious name can make it easy to be found. Choose the one you want to click more when you have multiple titles for an episode. It is NOT the media host that grows the audience. It is the content Treat directories like a child looking for Halloween candy. BE EVERYWHERE. Make sure your content does one (or more) of the following: Laugh, cry, think. Grown, Educate, or Entertain. If not you're boring. Listennotes stats (saying you're in the top X percent) are crap. For those who have money, there is therapy. For the rest of us, there is podcasting. If you want to grow your network, do an interview show. If you want to grow your influence, do a solo show. Even better do BOTH. You don't benefit until your audience benefits. While being consistent in schedule is very important (as you become part of your listener's routine) I'd rather have a "Late" show that was good than an "on time" episode that was Meh. Record without fear and edit without mercy. Podcasting is like sex in high school. Everybody says they are doing it. A few are doing it. Nobody is doing it right. Then, your podcast career is over quickly. Just like sex in high school. Don't try to be the most downloaded show. Try to be te most talked about show.  There is no such thing as too long, only too boring - Valerie Geller from the book . (aff) Podcast Networks don't make small shows big.

Today we are diving into the strategy of "feed drops" in podcasting. Some special guests are joining us, including York Campbell, Randy Black, and Zoe Richardson. In this episode, we'll explore the concept of feed drops, where a show drops an episode into the feed of another show to gain new listeners. Our guests will discuss their experiences with feed drops and share their perspectives on whether it's an effective strategy.

By dropping an episode into the feed of another show, you not only introduce your content to a new audience but also establish connections with other podcasters. Just make sure the dropped episode aligns with the tone and subject matter of the host show to keep your listeners engaged. Participants: Randall Black from Zo Richardson from York from Consider Your Source: There are a number of different types of podcasters. Here are just a couple: Fun Seekers Serious Hobbyist The Side Hustle-ist There are also many ways to monetize your show. The Value Four Value model is gaining steam, and everyone talks about podcast advertising. With the above types of podcasters they have different motivations and metrics.  People who work in the advertising end of podcasting focus on making sure advertisers are happy.  With this in mind, when you hear news, insights, and ideas about podcasting you might consider evaluating what persepctive they are coming from. There is no "wrong" perspective as there are many ways to plan, launch, grow, and monetize your show.  For example one recent written by Steve Goldstein on the  seemed to hint that podcasting started when advertising arrived. This makes sense coming from Steve who works in the advertising side of podcasting.  Podcast Rewind I appeared on by , talking about how to start a podcast.

What works for one podcast may not work for another podcast because their audiences are different. Think of the two female singers, Adele and Pink. The are both authentic, talented singers. One tends to stand on stage, tell stories, and perform in a dress. The other does gymnastics that include floating around the entire outside stadium. Could you see Adele flying around a stadium?  Instead, know your "WHY" and your "WHO" so you can figure out your WHAT and deliver it authentically in a way that doesn't bore your audience.  Plus, we'll tackle the ever-elusive topic of measuring success. I'll reveal the strategies and tools I use to track traffic and engagement and the importance of creating engaging content that keeps listeners coming back for more. Tools To Use To Help You Identify What Works With Your Podcast Instead of just linking to your website, you can add UTM parameters (this isn't as geeky as it sounds). A UTM is Urchin Traffic Monitor (we really don't care). These parameters can be thought of as leaving a breadcrumb so that when you check you can see where the audience specially came from. I'm currently using , which are not free but are easier to read and a bit more privacy-focused. Add UTMs to a Link using the Google UTM Creator the  for generating URLs to websites the  for generating URLs to apps on the Google Play Store the  for generating URLs to apps on the Apple App Store There are parameters you can add that will be seen in your Google Analytics. I have been using Fathom stats as they are easier to understand (it's not free, but I prefer checking out my stats without the frustration of digging through Google Analytics).  Why I Like Switchy Switchy is a tool that is currently available for a lifetime deal on App Summo.

Speaking always makes me nervous, but due to this talk NOT being about podcasting, I was REALLY Nervous.  I followed my own advice and figured out who I was talking to, and what the goal of the talk was (point out that we survived), and then I found people to give me honest feedback before I had to deliver it. It worked. I got a fair amount of compliments.  The stress and hand shaking worry was not needed. I had done my homework. So I'm here to tell you from the other side, that the worry is more than likely not necessary (I know, easier said than done).  Spotify Video Experiment So Far  while I received hundreds of downloads of the audio of the ASk the Podcast show, and a decent amount of video views on YouTube. I have not received a single play on Spotify. Granted I have not promoted it (I promote my Youtube Channel) . I wanted to see what kind of organic traffic Spotify would bring. So far I haven't received any. I do have a niche show, but I wanted you to know.  Mentioned In This Episode CHAPTERS 00:00:12 - Topics 00:00:32 - Opening 00:01:12 - Video Files are Bigger 00:01:51 - Backblaze 00:05:16 - How Much Is It? 00:07:39 - What Should I Keep? 00:08:44 - File Structure  00:13:05 - Join the School of Podcasting () 00:13:52 - Studying Mr. Beast 00:14:03 - Free Podcasting Tips Newsletter () 00:15:10 - Editing Old Titles  00:17:03 -   00:18:21 - Overcoming Your Podcast Fear  00:25:33 - Question of the Month () 00:26:35 - Live Appearances () 00:27:08 - Spotify VIdeo Experiment 

, a man wearing many hats, found himself in the heart of the digital world, not by chance but by curiosity and sheer determination. His journey wasn't a straight line. Jeff kept evolving from dabbling in corporate video production and website building to exploring social media. During one of these explorations, he stumbled upon Pinterest on a podcast. Hearing about the surge of traffic it brought to a blog stirred his interest. His first foray into Pinterest was a blog post, Manly Pinterest Tips #1, that resonated among the masses. That's when he realized the potential of Pinterest, not just as another social platform but as a visual search engine. BUT I DIDN'T BRING JEFF ON TO JUST TALK ABOUT PINTEREST Jeff has been shooting video for decades and does all of his shows LIVE.

One of the things podcasters say is “find your voice” without knowing that it’s Jargon. After all, is my voice lost? What does that mean? Today we will look at finding your voice, and I will tell you what the difference is to the listener. Because the interesting thing is your voice isn’t lost. It’s just got a lot of clutter on top of it. Join the School of Podcasting Community Risk-Free Are you looking to start your own podcast but don't know where to begin? Look no further than the .

Use the coupon code to save on a monthly or yearly subscription.  What Does Finding Your Voice Mean? You start your podcast (congrats!), and you feel uncomfortable. You feel out of place, and people say, "You need to find your voice." That is a really vague instruction.  Steps to Finding Your Voice I mention this in almost every episode. It starts with specifically knowing your WHY and Your WHO.  The more information you have on each, the clearer the target. It is the blurryness and fuzziness vision of your show that leads to insecurity.  Who Are You and Who Aren't You?  What do you believe in? What are your values? By defining what you will and will NOT talk about help clear the path for your content. The Netflix show House of Cards had a scene where the main character kills a dog in the first scene. This was on purpose, as they knew this would upset people. They thought, "Well, we might as well draw a line in the sand and offend people upfront. If they couldn't take the first episode, they would NEVER tolerate what else was coming in the remainder episodes.  Get Comfortable Through Practice Think back to all the firsts in your life. The first step, first tricycle, bicycle, first kiss are things we weren’t good at when we started. So do it again, and again with the goal of improving with each version of your episodes getting better. Acknowledge That This Will be Uncomfortable When you feel yourself wanting to pull away or come back to it later, push through. If you’ve ever been through counseling of any sort (single, couples, etc) it is uncomfortable. However, you come out better on the other side. I dread getting on a treadmill but never regret getting off. So when you feel that uncomfortable feeling come upon you (and it will) embrace it. You're learning. You are growing. You are improving.  Not Everyone Will Like You, and That is OK Life is not a popularity contest. That is one that is easy to say, but not always easy to live. As with everything, the more you practice it, the better you will get at it. So when you get your first one star review realize that the listener was not your target audience. Follow Your Gut There is only one of you. You are 100% unique so embrace that. Every night there are multiple stations covering the same topics. There are different strokes for different folks. Being you is very easy for you. When you try to be something you're not, it's very hard to pull off and often robs you of your passion. Double Check the Facts In Your Head Saying Negative Things Brenda was trying to prove herself to an invisible audience. She had assumed they wanted her to skim over a broad topic. When she got her episode in front of ACTUAL people she found they would rather go deep into a narrow topic.  In The End Be Yourself In the end you've had an entire lifetime being you. Relax and embrace your uniqueness. Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, and Rod Stewart have unique voices. You either love them or hate them. Their uniqueness has enabled them to have careers spanning multiple decades....

Are you audio or video first? If you want to ride the "Record the video, strip out the audio, cut the video into shorts, transcribe the audio, and become a millionaire" train, there are some things to remember. Your Legacy I saw someone today that I had not seen in at least 31 years and probably more. The last time I saw him he was a little boy who acted like a little boy. He didn't pay attention; he was hyperactive and always running around and made the job of his Sunday School teacher so hard that she went home and cried. That woman was my Mom. I was probably 11 when I later pinned this you boy who was probably 8, against the wall and said, "If you make my Mom cry again, I'll kill you." Let's call him Roy. Well, Roy walked into my church today, and he's probably 6' 4" and toward over me. After service, he laughed and recounted the pinning on the wall story, and he said he had taken some wrong turns in life, but all those lessons my Mom had taught him got him to turn around and get on the right path. Those lessons were probably close to 50 years ago. My Mom has been gone 34 years, and today part of her legacy walked in and shook my hand. He wanted to let me know just how special my Mom was (something I was well aware of). So when you put your words out into a podcast, you don't know who or how your words will affect people. If you have a message that needs to be heard, it's not helping people sitting on your hard drive. Get it out into the world. Start building your legacy. I can help. With Hollywood on Strike, Is Now the Best Time To Start a Podcast? With both the writers and actors on strike, new content will not be coming to our screens. We have no idea how long this will go on. In a graph on the , James Cridland has some interesting podcasting stats, and you can see that on April 12, 2023, there were 383,996 active podcasts. Fast forward to July and that number is down by 13.4% to 335,930. Meanwhile, every survey that comes out says podcast listenership is going up. A recent study on Australia has monthly listeners going up by 7% and weekly listening went up 24% (26 to 33 million). So if listening is going up, and content creation is going down, that means (in theory) that those who start or continue to make content have a better chance of being found due to the lack of competition while the audience continues to go. I can help. Also, if you do a podcast and would love to have an actor on your show, they may have some available time on their hands. Don't Forget The Links If you want your audience to get frustrated, talk about something on your show, and then don't put a link to it. I recently did this on my Ask the Podcast Coach, and luckily the person who was nice enough to contact me was very nice, but it can make it appear that you don't care about the user. Some things are perceived as basic and expected. A few episodes ago, I talked about a video service that I eventually canceled and got a refund. Why, there was something I thought was basic and should be included, and they wanted me to edit some code. Mentioned In This Episode Turning Your YouTube Content Into a Podcast I listened to a show this morning, and the host said, "I'm talking about three products today, and for you to get the most out of this, you should hop on over to the YouTube version. It will be much more beneficial for you over there. He then went on to say phrases like, "You'll be here on the left" and "Just click on search" right here. At this point, even with the disclaimer I felt like this guy was going to waste my time (and for the most part, he did). So when I went to click on the link to his YouTube channel, you guessed it - no link in the show notes. So you might want to refer to your episode as "the show" instead of podcast or video. Keep it generic. I occasionally share my screen on a live stream I do every Saturday. When I do, I try to make a concerted effort to A Cool Strategy from Udemy Podcast Rewind: The Podcast...
