Another peek at my upcoming new #podcasting tool for #podcasters!

Any guesses what it is? (Hint: I had to hide something from this view that would have otherwise given it away!)

I'll be looking for beta testers soon!

Too many #podcasters spend more time in their production, less on content and marketing, and as little money as possible.

But I see more success in #podcasting when you invest money in solutions that reduce your time in production, allowing you to invest more time on content and marketing.

Fess up: how many unplayed episodes do you have in your #podcast app?

I have more than 500 because there are just too many great #podcasts! 😅

The most powerful word you can say in your #podcast is "you."

It helps you speak directly to your listener.

Even if you have 1 million listeners, you're still talking to each of them one at a time.

#podcasting

What could it be?

Hot take: if your #video with baked-in captions is animating each word one at a time, you're hurting the consumption experience.

Hard #podcasting truth: _You_ are not a niche. No one wants to listen to your #podcast just because it's you.

They want your podcast because of how they connect with your perspective, how you feed their fandom, how you inspire or educate them, and how you make _them_ feel.

How do _you_ listen to #podcasts?

2×? Noise-canceling earbuds? Speakers? Only in the car? One genre queue at a time, or bounce around? What else?

There are countless podcasts covering the same subjects—maybe even the same as yours. So find ways to make yours unique.

In other words, make your podcast _known_ for something.

The biggest mistake I see #podcasters make is waiting until they have a massive audience before thinking about PROFIT. Start building P.R.O.F.I.T. (popularity, relationships, opportunities, fun, income, or tangibles)™ from episode one—for both you _and_ your audience!

I was up until 4 am this morning building something new for #podcasters. I was literally getting goosebumps seeing it working like magic!

And yes, of course, it's built for #Podcasting2.0!

Coming soon!

Create episodes that answer your audience's real questions instead of what you think they should know. Your #podcasting becomes infinitely more valuable when it solves actual problems.

Stop chasing huge download numbers and start building genuine relationships with your listeners. A small but engaged #podcast audience is worth more than a large but passive one.

What would the perfect #podcast episode be like for you?

(Interpret that however you want—as a listener or as a #podcaster!)

The fastest way to lose your #podcast audience is to ignore them completely. Even if you can't respond to everyone, acknowledge questions and feedback in your episodes to show you're listening.

Should Podcast Episodes Have a Consistent Length? - The Audacity to Podcast® There are no "show clocks," scheduled ad breaks, or rigid time slots for podcasts. So should you care about publishing episodes of different lengths?

Should #podcast episodes have a consistent length?

Get the answer to this #podcasting question in my latest episode of The Audacity to Podcast!

The magic happens when your #podcast listeners start talking to each other, not just to you. Foster community by highlighting listener stories, questions, and successes in your episodes.

Podgagement - Best Chartable Alternative: podcast rankings, reviews, and feedback Podgagement helps you interact with your fans, monetize your podcast, and measure your success as you grow your podcast!

Your #podcast is the perfect platform to test and validate product ideas before you create them. Listen to what your audience asks for, then build solutions they'll gladly pay for. This is what led me to build @Podgagement! podgagement.com/

Your #podcast doesn't need to compete with Joe Rogan; it needs to serve your specific audience better than anyone else can, and that's something only you can do.

⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️

If your #podcast had a warning label, what would it say?

Your #podcast reviews aren't just for show; they're goldmines of feedback telling you exactly what's working and what needs improvement. Read every single one and take notes.

Your voice has the power to change someone's day, maybe even their life! That's the magic of #podcasting and why I'm so passionate about helping you share your message with the world.

The best way to grow your #podcast isn't through fancy marketing tricks; it's by creating content so valuable that your current listeners can't help but share it with others.

If you had the chance to host a #podcast interview with anyone, past or present, whom would it be and what would you want them to share with your audience?

#Podcasting isn't just about talking into a microphone; it's about building relationships, sharing knowledge, and creating a community around what matters to you.

What’s a Podcast Anymore? - The Audacity to Podcast® This fundamental question that has been challenged and abused: what is a podcast? There's more to consider here than only the meaning of the word.

The Audacity to Podcast is 400 episodes old this week! I took this milestone number as a good opportunity to address the fundamental and controversial #podcasting question, "What's a #podcast anymore?"

Please listen and share! theaudacitytopodcast...

The most profitable #podcasters aren't relying on ads alone; they're creating products and services that serve their audience's deepest needs and solve real problems.

If your #podcast is consistently helping your audience solve problems, you've already proven there's demand in your niche. You can gain and give P.R.O.F.I.T. (popularity, relationships, opportunities, fun, income, or tangibles)™ when you figure out how to serve that demand better than others.

Every question your #podcast audience asks you is a potential product idea. Keep track of these questions and turn your answers into courses, guides, lead magnets, additional episodes or articles, or coaching programs.

What's your best or favorite episode of your own #podcast? What made it earn that label?
