Podcasts & Potholes
Does it feel like your podcast shows are never done the way you want them, a feeling like they’re always under construction?
Think about this...aren’t there roads, highways, byways, bridges and freeways that are always under construction, every year there are new potholes to be filled, new repairs to be made - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall!
Well if they can’t get them right and states are spending millions of dollars on construction, what makes you think that your podcast is going to fare any better especially if you are not putting in much money at all?
Sponsorships and monetizing are always front and center of every podcaster’s mind, so perfection is what we seek and that is when frustration can set in. Last week I had an opportunity to speak with a group of podcasters who are in the Horticulture industry and podcasting promotion ideas was the main question they had and even though I was able to provide tips such as:
We all felt a little frustrated by the fact that our Podcast is never really done...never completed...never perfect.
But as I stated in a previous episode of Podcasting your Purpose, podcasting is not perfection you can purchase professional voice overs; you can have flashy intros with Headliners or Wavve; you can repurpose your content; be consistent; go live on YouTube or Facebook every day, collaborate with other podcasters.
You can include a CTA at the end of each episode; your podcast can be listed on Google Play, iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud and of course Anchor, but it seems like you're always under construction.
Selling sponsorship or merchandise can be in the mix as well, but don’t beat yourself up, we’ve all been there and some are still there, but we are all in this together don't beat yourself up just continue going forward, practice, practice, progress.
Your podcast may never sound perfect but don’t give up because there is always going to be a pothole to fill.
