Life & Work

People Business & On The Schmooze

3/17/2022

 
Picture
I LOVE being a guest on podcasts.  No for the "exposure," but because it helps me be a better podcaster and a better podcasting coach.  I see everyone's systems - there are a lot of great one's out there - AND I have an opportunity to hone my message, my library of stories, and my speaking skills.  I see what questions people have, and what they are thinking about.  AND ... bonus ... how many times have you wished you could listen back to a conversation and think about what you did well and what you could have said better?  With these podcasts I can.

I'm honored that both Robbie Samuels and O’Brien McMahon took the time to create these shows and allow me to join them.

"If your goal is a content creator is to get more listeners and more people engaged and get people to actually take action, then you need to be thinking about what they need from you, not how you need to show up for you." ~Alex Perry

Want 5x the Exposure for Your Content

You’ve probably heard about repurposing content, it might be simpler than you think. This 25 minute podcast episode runs through 5 ways to repurpose your content for greater exposure … and several don’t require any editing!

​Should you Put Your Podcast on YouTube?

Click here for YouTube expert Scott Simson’s answer (the video is less than 1 minute). If you want to hear more about YouTube strategy (like how to hook the audience and what an “open loop” is) you can listen to the whole Grounded Content Podcast interview here.

How Should Brands Use Community?

Jackie MacDougall, founder of “Grown-Ass Women’s Guide” says most brands get THIS wrong about building communities. You can hear her complete interview HERE.

#ClaimPodParity

Keep an eye out for the #ClaimPodParity campaign this month headed up by Elsie Escobar. As she points out - there are already so many talented and influential women in the podcast industry, it’s time they get more attention. If you’re writing an article or thinking about an interview - consider including more diverse voices. They are out there. Here’s a list of podcasting experts to get you started.

What About Filters?

Every podcast or content interview series should have a set of three filters - A topic filter, a guest filter, and a question filter. HERE’s what I mean.

What Am I Listening to this Week?

  • Nicky Saunders talks about content strategy in IG https://www.instagram.com/thisisnickys/
  • Heather Osgood’s Podcast Advertising Playbook https://podfollow.com/1473222248
