  • OK, I realize this seems a little odd, but stay with me. Bowling and podcasting share surprising similarities that can inspire you to start your own podcast. Just like in duck pin bowling, where mastering the basics and adapting your technique is crucial, podcasting requires a solid grasp of content creation and delivery. Throughout this episode, Dave Jackson draws parallels between the two, emphasizing the importance of feedback, practice, and finding your unique style. He also introduces an AI prompt that can help you generate fresh interview questions, making it easier to engage your audience. Whether you're a seasoned bowler or a curious podcaster, this episode is packed with insights to guide your journey.

    Takeaways: The experience of duckpin bowling can teach valuable lessons about podcasting and content creation. Instant feedback is crucial in both bowling and podcasting; learn from your mistakes quickly. Practicing your podcasting skills is essential, just like warming up before bowling.

Adaptability in your approach to podcasting can lead to greater audience connection and enjoyment....
  • If you want to add something new to your podcasting routine, you need to subtract something else from your schedule. Time management is crucial for podcasters; today, I'm pointing out the importance of making intentional choices about allocating our time.

    Let's examine the balance between new opportunities and existing commitments. I emphasize that every addition comes with a necessary subtraction (unless you want to lose your mind).

    This episode is filled with practical tips and personal insights on how to manage your time while avoiding burnout. Whether you want to expand your podcasting efforts or keep your sanity intact, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate your busy schedule.

    Takeaways: To succeed in podcasting, remember that adding a new task means subtracting an existing one (if you're truly "busy"). Effective time management in podcasting requires precise scheduling for learning new tools or platforms. Evaluate your current commitments and prioritize what truly adds value to your podcasting journey (and value to your audience). Being overwhelmed by podcasting tasks can be alleviated by understanding your available time. Use tools to track your productivity and identify what activities yield the best results. Avoid the hustle culture; prioritize your health and family while managing your podcasting goals.

    Takeaways:

    Building a relationship with your podcast guests before the interview can lead to better promotion later. Make it easy for guests to share their episodes by providing direct links and images. As a host, please don't rely solely on guests to promote their episodes; it's not guaranteed. Offering your guests clear and simple promotional tools can encourage them to share your interview. Please tell your guests when their episodes will be released to help them prepare to share. As a guest, promise to promote the episode to increase your chances of being invited back. If you want them to share, the interview should be different than previous interviews.

  • This episode serves as a guide for content creators to learn from the mistakes of the movie industry. It advocates for creativity, genuine audience engagement, and strategic marketing that resonates with today's consumers.

    The movie industry is falling fast. I share my childhood memories of the joy of watching movies and how attending a movie now has changed dramatically. We need to understand the power of audience engagement, noting that the film industry is often playing it safe with sequels and familiar franchises (a strategy that may not always yield positive results).

    As podcasters, we need to note these trends and craft our content thoughtfully, ensuring that we do not fall into the trap of repeating what has already been done. Podcasters can stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace by fostering authentic connections with listeners and providing innovative, compelling narratives.

    Takeaways: The movie industry is struggling, and podcasters can learn valuable lessons from this decline. Creating a strong community experience can enhance audience engagement for both movies and podcasts. Making the consumption of your content easy is crucial for keeping your audience satisfied. Trailers should accurately represent the film's content to avoid disappointing viewers. Audience engagement and feedback are essential for improving movie and podcast content. Podcasters should avoid the common pitfalls of the movie industry to ensure success.

  • Chapters in podcast episodes allow listeners to easily navigate content, enhancing their listening experience by allowing them to skip to segments they find most intriguing or relevant. Dave Jackson explores the evolution and utility of chapters, reflecting on his initial disdain and eventual reliance on them. Dave invites podcasters to share their perspectives, highlighting a range of opinions from enthusiastic advocates to skeptics who worry chapters might disrupt the listener's engagement.

    Tools like Hindenburg and Descript are spotlighted for their ability to integrate chapters seamlessly, while AI-driven solutions from hosts like Buzzsprout and Captivate are emerging to automate the process. As the podcasting landscape evolves, chapters are becoming a valuable feature for both content creators and audiences, though their adoption remains a personal choice, influenced by the podcast's format and the creator's goals.

    All of these platforms have their own strengths. If I just wanted to accept money, I'd use Buy Me a Coffee. If I wanted to sell premium content, I would use Supercast (although Captivate and Buzzsprout are very attractive if you are using them for hosting). Supercast has a super easy onboarding for new listeners with a two-click install, and their percentage is in alignment with others (if not less).

    Keep In Mind:

    A show with WOW content will likely get around 3% of its audience to engage.

    New podcasters should focus on building great content and their audience instead of monetizing, which can lead to disappointment.

    There are MANY other ways to make money with your podcast besides advertising and asking for support. See my book Profit From Your Podcast.

    Paul from Pass ACLS

  • My last day at Libsyn was July 12th, 2024. I'm starting a new chapter in my podcasting career, and so to announce the next chapter, I thought it might be fun (and maybe inspirational? ) for newbies to see what is possible with a podcast. Last week I talked about my journey through technology. I explained that where I am now is NOT where I started and it took years to get here. Today I'm talking about the most important benefit of podcasting (and it's not money, or fame). It's relationships. 

    You will see that one teacher gave me a nudge. Once I started podcasting (because it was WAY HARDER in 2005), when I wasn't working on making GREAT content, I was working on growing my network through relationships. I am still in contact with many of those today.

    You are seen as an expert (no matter if you want to be or not) and that positioning leads to opportunities. Those opportunities lead to relationships. Those new relationships lead to more opportunities. If you DON'T QUIT, the wheel keeps turning. It does not happen overnight, and it might take years. Some might say I have first mover advantage. Let's say that is true. So did a whole lot of other people. There is one big difference. I didn't quit. I'm still here. 

    Opportunities Lead to Relationships

    I had Spreaker, Blubrry, and Libsyn representatives on my show. I would see these people at events. Your podcast can be a digital resume. When the New Media Expo needed a new head for their podcasting track, all of these hosting companies had one name they recommended: Dave Jackson.

    Question of the Month

    Some podcasters spend time putting in chapters that include artwork and links. Where are you when it comes to chapters? Did you know they exist? Do you use them in your show? As a listener, do you like them? Hate them? Click the link and let me know (and don't forget the name, elevator pitch, and link to your show). I need your answer by 9/27

    Where I Will Be?

    I'll be speaking at Podcast Movement in Washington DC August 19-22.

  • I had two people ask me about the "Behind the Scenes" operations of the School of Podcasting. I was nervous about doing this episode. If you're new to the show, I normally don't talk about myself for 47 minutes. As I had two people ask similar questions, I thought I'd share information about:

    Where I Started (start ugly - great book)

    My first podcast setup

    My first "business office"

    Why and how I upgraded (and why you probably don't need to).

    What I'm using now for the podcast and the business.

    I also mention the Podcaster Happy Hour (check out this new networking and education event).

  • Some people can "riff" off the top of their heads, while others need a script. Do whatever works for you, but when it SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE READING, it can lose listeners. Today, I bring in Professional Voiceover Artist Jodi Krangle to give us some tips on how to sound natural. She also shares some insights on the voiceover industry and her pet peeves in podcasting.
