You’ve started a podcast, but how do you know if it’s worth your time?

Tienes que medir tus propias expectativas. Muchas personas siguen el objeto brillante de otros. Si otros montan un canal de youtube, allá van, si montan un podcast, lo mismo. Esto tiene sus ventajas: pruebas y validas si es algo para ti, pero lo más probable es que te cueste darle continuidad. ?Por qué? (Aprendizaje tras crear más de 200 episodios de mi podcast y de otros tantos para clientes) - Porque no has establecido unas expectativas previas ni el propósito de ese proyecto. Puede que tu motivación sea atraer clientes o establecer relaciones o tener charlas interesantes.... Imagínate que tu objetivo es tener charlas interesantes, si de 10 has tenido 7 charlas buenas, te resultará fácil darle continuidad.

When starting a podcast, you have to have clear goals, and more often than not, budget will play a part of this, and dictate. If your company is giving budget toward the podcast, it has to tie back into revenue. This can be through ABM (Account Based Marketing), attribution or other. If you're starting the podcast for yourself, why are you starting it? Is it to build your network? Learn? Establish yourself as an authority? Are you looking to generate sponsorships out of the podcast? If so, does that cover your costs? What does your take home look like. Once you know what you want to do with your podcast, you can set more tangible goals and a strategy to achieve them.

You need to understand what your intent is to start a podcast. - Are you looking at going viral and generating income - Are you just interested in the skill and want to try it out What is your intent, will define your purpose which will push you to think about your "Mission and Vision" and also narrow down on your target audience. At the end of the day, Podcasting is content creation.

Starte deinen Podcast jetzt, perfekt muss es nicht sein. Ziel ist es, durchs Tun deine eigene Stimme zu finden und Spa? zu haben. Nimm Feedback als Chance, besser zu werden, und baue eine Community auf. Lerne st?ndig dazu, sei es durch neue Inhalte oder Technik. Vernetze dich mit anderen, jede Begegnung ist eine Lernchance und M?glichkeit, zu wachsen. Sei offen für Ver?nderungen; Flexibilit?t ist dein Schlüssel zum Erfolg. Deine Reise ist das Ziel, jeder Schritt z?hlt. Also, leg los und genie?e den Prozess!

Honestly, you should be evaluating if it's worth your time 'before' you start your podcast. If your intent for starting a show is not clear, you shouldn't start a show. Especially if it features guests on the show. Imagine how you'd feel being one of the first few guests and realising that the show closed down after 5 episodes. Plan well, think through what you need to do, know how much time you'll need to spend every week, and then do a pilot or a few. If you are convinced, go ahead and tell the world! Don't start a podcast just because.

Metrics are good, but also invest in identifying WHY are you doing the podcast. How did YOU move from one episode to the other. HOW does it impact your overall work?

Once you have published your show, you will not get numbers right from day 1. You need time to build your audience as you need to market your episodes at the right places. E.g., any topics that looks into parenting, should market in school groups, mother groups, father groups and within your whatsapp groups. Don't strain your eyes on numbers. They will grow at a certain pace depending on your content and marketing. I would say, that initially push for reviews and comments to understand your audience and evolve accordingly.

You're in for the long game here. Metrics will help you like a guiding light. Follow your metrics regularly and make sure you take measures to improve listens, followers, shares, and reviews for the podcast. Don't get stressed if metrics don't improve. Give it time. It takes time for a podcast to pick up. Don't loose energy getting worried about the popularity of the show.

Podcast is always a long-term game. Once you start your podcast, it's obvious to wonder if it's hitting the mark, right? One way to figure that out is by looking at the numbers. You can check out stuff like how many people are downloading your episodes, how many subscribers you've got, and what kind of ratings and reviews you're getting. These numbers give you a pretty good idea of how popular and liked your podcast is. But don't get too hung up on the numbers alone. You must also see if people are sharing it with their friends? Are they leaving comments or giving you feedback? All of that helps you understand if your podcast is worth your time and meeting your goals. That's the real measure of success!

Metrics are important, but we should also consider podcasting as a valuable networking tool for our future sales, job opportunities, and business growth. Podcast metrics are often inaccurate due to recent changes in the way iPhone users download podcasts from Apple. It's time to rethink the awareness or metrics part of podcasts.

Linkedin is a great tool for this. Not only is it great for getting listeners, but also getting feedback. If the post about your podcast has more comments than normal, that's usually an indicator of something. You can also create discussion by asking for feedback in the form of comments. Finally, polls are a great way to engage with your audience and get feedback.

Asking for feedback is a great way to get a perspective from audience. 1:1 conversations are great when you know the other person will be honest and cares about your success. Feedback from audience and reviews will help you get better and creating content that's a fit for the audience.

A experimenta??o é a chave a constante evolu??o, se permita criar 'personas' para temas ou quadros, estruture um roteiro que te lhe guie durante a conversa com o entrevistado. Lembre que é um bate papo, n?o uma conversa robótica é preciso que tenha sua essência. Pe?a feedback para seu público e esteja pronto para ouvir críticas positivas e construtivas (é a parte difícil, mas vai te fazer crescer).

Experimenting with podcast formats is indeed crucial for keeping the content engaging. I've found that leveraging AI tools can greatly assist in this process. AI tools like Descript can aid in editing and restructuring your podcast, while AI copywriting tools like Chat GPT can assist in scriptwriting for different formats. Don't get stuck on interviews and a set time. Try solo episodes, long, short, different days, different calls to action. I've found my short, monthly income reports to be very popular and illicit responses where I don't expect. I've found interviews of conference attendees don't perform as well. Testing is a critical part of finding the optimal episodes.

Experimentation with formats should be done wisely. You can package the experiment in such a way that it comes across as a bonus for the audience. For an interview show, a one-off episode experiment with documentary format or a monologue format can be packaged as a bonus or special episode. See what people have to say. If it's good, try it out again. Once you're sure, you can shift tracks.

Imagine your podcast is like cooking up a delicious meal. You've got to keep trying out new recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods to see what tastes best and satisfies your hungry audience. That's what experimenting with formats is all about. Think of it like this: Sometimes you might want to make a short and sweet episode, like a quick snack to keep your listeners satisfied on the go. Other times, you might go for a hearty feast with longer episodes packed full of juicy content.

As a seasoned podcaster, I can't stress enough the importance of learning from others in the industry. I often lean on colleagues for best practices and new tools. I'm part of a mastermind of agency owners and that is a game changer. It's crucial to not only listen to other podcasts for inspiration but also to understand the technical aspects, like sound quality and pacing. Additionally, leveraging AI tools like Descript for editing or Chat GPT for AI copywriting can significantly streamline the process.

The one thing that all masters do! ?? But you should know what works for others might not work for you. Try to put a twist on something that works for others and make it unique. Something that defines you as a creator. Avoid copying others beyond a point - especially when you are a newbie creator. I've done this in the past. Ultimately, you realise that you as a creator are special and you must follow your own path.

Many podcasters experience podfade. The keys to avoiding podfade are: 1. Clear goals 2. Have fun, share your voice and opinions 3. Keep it simple 4. Don't do it alone, a team is necessary for longevity. Podcasting is a long game, so going in with realistic expectations, plan, and a guide is a recipe for success.

A jornada para cada episódio te prop?e estudo constante, saber como explorar o melhor do entrevistado e do tema, fazendo uso de noticias, efeitos de áudio, entre outras oportunidades. Procure ter em mente que tudo é permitido e que o espa?o é seguro, n?o crie bloqueios, evite o "n?o", pois ele será o seu maior vil?o.

As podcasting is not a linear development and it can be very difficult to know how are you going, you simply keep going. This hasn't to be a hard thing if you enjoy the process. I recommend you to set a not too high frequency for your episodes so you can be regular and consistent. If you feel inspired, ok, record more episodes and program them to put them in line. Thus, if you have some days with no inspiration, you have more margin to fix that.

Discipline eats motivation for breakfast Motivation assumes that we need to be feeling good to do something. Discipline separates our feelings from the doing what we need to do. Unless you have big social capital, starting a podcast or a blog is a marathon, and you need to be persistent for at least 6-12 months, to be able to asses if it makes sense.
