Profitcast - Helping businesses start a podcast that is profitable This is the EndThis is the end. The end of the line for Profitcast. And though there might be no more developed road beyond this point, the journey is far from over. The journey of discovery, both into defining what it means to profit and in making an uber customizable model apply for a specific situation, is one that is always met with undeveloped terrain. No one model works perfectly for two people (or... it's just extremely unlikely). And so podcasters trailblaze as explorers did when settling in new places all over the world: when no road was paved, they made their o...

Sometimes positive thinking is akin to the 19th century writer and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky's observation of a white polar bear: "Try to pose for yourself this task: not to think of a polar bear, and you will see that the cursed thing will come to mind every minute" (1863).

Profitcast - Helping businesses start a podcast that is profitable How to Double Your Growth By Becoming a Podcast GuestLast week Brian got nerdy about DragonCon so that he could relate the importance of building a community. This week, Brian gets nerdy about business with very special guest Tom Schwab. It’s not purely about business, mind you, but as starting, growing, and maintaining a podcast is very much a business venture, many of the same principles can be applied as we consider the various options available to us in marketing. One of the most disheartening facts to hear about is how little time people spend reading in lieu of audio or visual resources. It’s not a...

I suppose I could always write about superheroes, but at least now it isn’t totally out of left field. Several weeks ago I wrote about superhero origin stories and the similarities to a podcaster’s origin story, and in many ways this post will build off that same idealism. If you missed it, click here. Whether you’re into the modern model of superheroes or not, don’t get hung up o...

I’m going to address the aspects of Jason’s interview that resonated with me and how important the terms differentiation and curiosity suddenly became to my daily vernacular. Listening to Jason describe his process and methodology was very comforting to me, because I approach projects in much the same way a...

Yet, on that point, it is interesting to contemplate the end of something and gauge our reaction to that contemplation. From an introspective manner, does the end make me feel relief or sadness? At the end of a long project, for example, I might feel relief; but at the end of an enjoyable vacation, I feel sadness. From an objective standpoint, when considering the end of something I enjoy, but am not directly part of, am I bummed out or do I...

Profitcast - Helping businesses start a podcast that is profitable Doing What “Makes Sense” Doesn’t Always Make SenseWe talk a lot on Profitcast about reorienting around what profiting with your podcast means for you and your situation. The traditional, or go-to, definition is monetization, and that’s natural and it doesn’t hurt to have that as a goal. But lately we’ve taken to broadening this definition. To me, profiting with my podcast means ___________. Rob and Martha Southgate seriously challenge the idea of monetization as the pinnacle of profiting with podcasting. Their story is a remarkable one, a miraculous one, we might say. In many, many ways it differs from other success stories we often...

Profitcast - Helping businesses start a podcast that is profitable If You’re Busy, Your Podcast Will Fail!I was inspired and passionate to share about busyness and how it negatively affects our podcasts and profiting with them. In fact, I firmly believe that we will fail with our podcasts if we’re busy. Don’t get me wrong. Having a full schedule and working HARD is GOOD. But being BUSY does not equal full schedules and hard work. John Lee Dumas isn’t busy. But he works hard and is VERY successful. With this, I talk about respect, boundaries, and manipulation. Each of these things have a major impact on being busy and, therefore, our success and profit. Chec...

It is so exciting to be able to say fifty isn’t it? Jurassic World is just the most recent example in a long line of cinematic blockbusters that are capitalizing on the marketing potential of a film’s dramatic premise as its release approaches. Jurassic World is the fourth film in a line of [loose] adaptations of Michael Crichton’s dinosaur novels (Jurassic Park, The Lost World). The second film, The Lost World, was released in 1997 and owing largely to the excitement and brilliance of the first film, it broke the opening we...

You don’t need official office space. You don’t need employees. You don’t need post-it notes and pens and pads of paper with official letter heads. But in this episode of Profitcast, Brian outlines some very key details about what makes podcasters fit right in line with the other entrepreneurs out there whose ventures do require the list of items above. Perhaps the odds are not quite in the podcaster’s favor, but that is a matter of perspective and commitment. Perspective and commitment? Can I be any more...

Over the last 10 months we’ve interviewed a lot of people who’ve been successful with podcasting, both financially and in their respective communities. We’re told that in order to have a successful podcast, we need to make money and have a large community. Naturally, when anyone asks you what your biggest struggle is, yo...

The lessons of this fable are entirely relevant as Brian talks with John Lee Dumas about how the latter found success with his podcast and with his passion. A natural side effect of passion is an urgency and drive to pump our lives full and push as hard as we can until we’ve achieved all the success we coul...
