Podcasting
- It is easier to connect with someone via audio when compared to the written word.
- Audio is available almost anywhere at anytime.
- Podcasting is valuable in every industry, but you have to decide what your podcast is focused on and what the goal is.
- Hosting a podcast can help you build your list, network with influencers in your niche, or help hone your speaking skills. Pick one goal and focus on it.
- It takes time to become comfortable in front of a microphone but it’s the most fundamental skill in podcasting.
- Once you know your podcasting goal, the format of your show is easier to figure out.
- Pick one link to focus on each episode, as the host send people to your show notes page, as a guest focus on either your site or a downloadable resource.
Mistakes Podcasters Make
- No prep, you should prepare for each episode at least a little bit.
- Not asking whether the guest is right for your show or not.
- Not putting the guest at ease before recording.
- Not leaving time for a post interview chat, you can miss a lot of opportunities by skipping this.
- Not interrupting the guest to ask for more information.
- Not adding your personality and perspective to your show. Your show, your rules.
- Being too rigid, you should be willing to go off topic if the conversation or topic is interesting.
- Not adding value to your guest. Mention something the guest is working on that they may not expect.
Being A Good Guest
- Don’t focus on the download numbers.
- Whatever you promote should be a natural extension of the conversation you’re having.
- Ask the host who is their ideal listener.
- Let the host know that you had a good time, ask to connect with the host online and if you can help them in anyway.
Final Tips
- Choose the goal you want to achieve with your podcast and focus on it.
- Be willing to go off script if the topic is interesting.
- Don’t forget to prep for your shows!
