  • 6-Step Publicity Rockstar method to increase your audience and visibility.   

    PR is not just for big brands!   

    Simone Sauter, PR expert for Solopreneurs joins me this week on the podcast.   

    Key points include understanding the ideal client, pitching to the right platforms, creating compelling content, and leveraging media coverage for growth.  

    Top advice here is to make your pitch personal and offer value that will resonate with the podcast host or publication’s audience.  

     

    "You don't build relationships by just copy-pasting something. It's like with a friendship, you also don't make friends with a cookie-cutter strategy." 

     

     About Simone  

    Simone Sauter is a certified PR Consultant & Visibility Strategist, Publicity Rockstar™, and bestselling author. She teaches coaches and consultants how to get featured in prestigious magazines and podcast shows so they get seen, heard, and highly paid – without wasting time on social media or paying for ads and agencies. The beauty of her approach is that following her Publicity Rockstar™ Method, her clients get all they need to build an impactful brand: Visibility, Authority, Credibility, and Trust.  

    Simone has built a very successful coaching business herself solely by utilizing the power of the media and podcast shows. She has been featured in media outlets such as Cosmopolitan, Instyle, and Closer, shared her story on countless podcast and TV shows, built a blog with 100,000+ monthly organic readers, and created an advertising value of more than 3 million euro in just 18 months.

    How to Promote Your Business with Podcasts

  • You are an Origineur! There is only one of you and so let that shine through in your podcast and your business.   

    Meet Loretta Milan, host of the Origineurs Podcast.   

    Loretta started her podcast to support her business and help spread the word on her mission for everyone to believe that they are an Original and what you have to say matters.  

     “An Origineur is somebody who then uses their originality to do something no matter how big or small. If you use that to change someone else's life, to inspire somebody else, to set up a business, to make an idea happen, that's when you transform from being an original to being an Origineur, you make something happen.” 

    We chat about how Loretta came up with the concept for her podcast and how conversations with her community shaped her content, how she did her research on all the tech options, joining podcast communities and the importance of networking.  

    When it comes to marketing your podcast, Loretta’s top piece of advice is the best form of marketing is delivering. If you deliver something amazing, that person is going to come back to you. They're going to recommend you to somebody else. 

     

    About Loretta  

    Loretta Milan is the founder of Origineurs and an award-winning communication expert who has been helping people stand out and succeed as originals for over 20 years, including leaders of big global brands, entrepreneurs and change makers. 

     

    Listen to the Origineurs podcast: https://origineurs.com/podcast/

  • Welcome to Season 3 of the podcast!

    My first guest is Nicole Cheri Oden, host of the Uncomplicating Trademarks podcast.

    Nicole wanted to help digital content creators and online service providers understand complex legal processes.

    What I find so interesting is that her podcast is private.

    You need to sign up to get access to the episodes. So that when you enter her world, you really want to be there.

    We chat about how Nicole launched her podcast, shares her challenges and her inquisitive, experimental attitude towards podcasting!

    Nicole’s Top Tip is to commit to starting your podcast and to reach out for help if you are overwhelmed.

    About Nicole

    A licensed attorney in the State of California for 12+ years, Nicole left Big Law to start her own virtual law firm – Nicole Cheri Oden Law, PC – to make trademark registration and boutique legal services accessible to small business owners across the United States.

    After Nicole started working with fellow online entrepreneurs, she found many of them were overwhelmed by their legal needs. So she opened her digital shop, Legal Templates and More, to bring legal awareness and protection to small business owners.

    Her attorney-drafted templates are customizable for almost every industry – making legal protection available to everyone!

  • In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Helen Calvert, host of The No Bullsh*t guide to happiness.

    Helen has been a guest before back in May 2022 and it's no secret that I LOVE Helen's podcast so it's lovely to be chatting with her again, seeing how she is doing with her podcast and her business.

    Helen has published a book since we last spoke (in October 2022 and yes I have a copy!) The book is very much based on the first series of the podcast which as Helen explains contains, "crucial elements of being a business owner and having a happier life."

    Helen and I also chat about audience engagement, podcast growth over the past 12-18 months, show notes, reviews(take note podcast apps!!), and how the podcast supports Helen's business.

    A top tip that we touch on is the importance of reaching out to others and how your network and community can contribute to your podcast's success.

    About Helen

    Helen Calvert is The No Bullsh*t Coach who has been running the successful business support agency Clear Day since 2018. A divorced mum of two boys, Helen has twenty years of experience in admin and organisation, and also, knows well the personal challenges of anxiety, family health problems and just trying to get it all done! She qualified as a life coach in 2020 and her passion is in helping women to treat themselves with excessive kindness as the best strategy for gaining confidence and making progress.

    Her podcast gets around 7,000 downloads per month and includes all of her no-bullsh*t tips for a happier life. It has proven so popular that Helen has turned the first series into a book which was published in October 2022.

  • In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Ashleigh Frater, Anxiety Coach for Founders and Freelancers.

    Ashleigh shares her experience as a podcast host and her advice on 'feeling productive.'

    We had such a great conversation about Asheligh's podcasting, and she made some brilliant observations about how she needs to build in more time to record as she knows there's an emotional toll due to the nature of the subject.

    Promotion is one area Ashleigh said that she struggled with, and this is something I hear a lot of podcasters say.

    Here are some things to keep in mind:

    What's your version of success for your podcast? Not just the numbersFinding unique ways to promote each episode on social media Repurposing your contentRemembering it takes time to build an audienceAvoid "should" thinking Be yourself

    Ashleigh shared her advice on productivity and what it means to us individually. We only need to understand what our version of productive is and it boils down to how we feel.

    Labelling your emotion and removing the word productive. What does it contribute to? What are your overall goals? Celebrate your wins!

    About my guest

  • Hi there! I'm chatting with Ida Radovanovic from Playground in this week's episode.

    Ida called her business a Playground to keep reminding herself how she wanted to see work.

    After 12+ years of career at a corporation, Ida is now proudly a solopreneur. She blends gamification, accountability buddies and research-based productivity tips to help people work on what is meaningful to them and spark closeness. It's an unusual, but powerful mix vs. procrastination.

    If you are tired of procrastination games ;) and want a more creative way to get stuff done, feel free to connect with Ida and say hi.

    Ida shares her top 4 tips for overcoming procrastination:

    If you don't know where to start, start with something small and specific. Something that you can clearly mark off as complete. Use a planning system. Ida recommends WOOP and Backwards goal planning. Try to work with less perfectionism and be kind to yourself. "80% done is good enough!" Remind yourself that you are part of a community or get yourself an accountability buddy.

    Ida has Tip number 5 for you to download here.

  • In this week's episode, I'm chatting with my friend Sarah McDowell, SEO Manager at Captivate and podcaster!

    Sarah has worked in Digital Marketing and SEO for over 10 years now, both in-house for a brand/company and agency side.

    Sarah's current podcast is The SEO Mindset Podcast which she co-hosts with Tazmin Suleman. Sarah has hosted 4 podcasts in total over the years!

    She is also co-founder (alongside me!) of the West Midlands Podcast Club. A free podcast community for podcasters passionate about podcasting!

    You can sign up here!

    Sarah tells us what SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is and shares her top 3 tips to optimise our podcasts so that they are more discoverable.

    Tip #1 - Keywords

    Use a keyword tool like SEMRUSH, Answer the public or Also Asked.use these tools when planning your episodes.DO NOT keyword stuff your show notes and titles - it doesn't help anyone!!

    Tip#2 - Backlinks

    This is when someone external links back to your website. backlinks are very helpful for Google as they help make you a credible source.

    Tip#3 - Transcripts

    Using transcripts helps make your podcast more accessible for everyone - including Google. Edit your transcript, and remove filler words to make it more accessible. Recommended podcast episode about accessibility. How To Make Your Content More Accessible with Anne Mok

    Sarah's final thought is, don't be scared by podcast SEO and she recommends giving some of the tips she's given a try!

    Thanks Sarah! 😃
