399- Update on the fears of podcasting

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode of The Podcast Reporter, we re-visit the topic of some new media creatives that may have FEARS in thinking about podcasting.

The original topic was presented to us in episode number 55 in the back-catalog of The Audacity to Podcast from Daniel J Lewis. And we plan to add more fears in this update of this specific topic.

Now, in the original podcast episode in 2011, Daniel presented us with seven major fears, which were:

  • It is not worth the time;
  • I don’t have enough to say;
  •  No one will want to listen to me;
  • People will not like me;
  • Podcasting is too hard;
  • Podcasting costs too much;
  • I hate the sound of my own voice.

And in this episode update, we add the following reasons that may appear to be excuses that can be overcome (some may be similar, but not exactly the same in detail):

  • I don’t want to be a techie;
  • I cannot make any money;
  • I am scared to podfade;
  • It is too competitive;
  • I don’t want to learn or do SEO (search engine optimization);
  • I don’t want to become a loner or introvert;
  • It’s too time-consuming;
  • Any enthusiasm can die;
  • I don’t want my hobby to become an obsession;
  • I don’t want to burn out.

So, if you make a checklist for yourself and cross each one out when you overcome it. And we sincerely hope that you, as a podcaster, can learn to overcome any fears of these 17 reasons for podcasting — and then you can enjoy the passion of podcasting and be successful.

Thank you for your attention.

388- Podcast Communities — a discussion

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The theme for this episode of Podcast Reporter came from a Buzzsprout newsletter and article by Travis Albritton.

The topic was podcast communities. However, I myself was disappointed to see that the community of Podcasters Society from Daniel J Lewis of The Audacity to Podcast was not included. Sad to leave out this valuable resource (as I, myself, was a member several times over the past 5 years).

As you will hear in this brief audio episode, the article lists the other communities from the opinion of Travis Albritton. But for myself, I am still suggesting the community of Podcasters Society for the best value of those podcasters that have already published several episodes of their show, but wish to take their podcast show “from ordinary to amazing.”

If you do your own research, you may find which communities in which you would like to join and participate in the area of podcasting and new media. If so, we hope that whether the community may be a mastermind, a membership site, etc., will be the right one for you to get VALUE from the community resources and communication and add to your success of your podcast show.

Thank you for your attention.

383- Good SEO steps — an Evo Terra perspective

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode, the topic proposed by Evo Terra of Podcast Pontifications was that of SEO (search engine optimization) being hard — and whether it is worth it for a podcaster (from the April, 2020 publication in the audio episode and show notes).

From my own perspective, I have mixed feelings about the amount of effort needed for good SEO — including the education, training and implementation that includes follow-up and tracking. With the goal of being ranked in the top ten listings of search engines, this is a heavy-duty objective, knowing that there are over a million podcast shows today.

As Evo mentions in his episode, he describes the various stages of the SEO stages (and since he is an expert about SEO since 2005) in some of the following  steps:

  • Planning;
  • Pre-production
  • Recording and production;
  • Post-production
  • Publication
  • Syndication
  • Monitoring
  • End-result

We highly recommend that you consume this episode and/or show notes text. I feel that many can learn the truth about good SEO.

From my own perspective, there is one other resource with experience and technical ability in SEO that offers a course called SEO FOR PODCASTERS. And this is available from Daniel J Lewis of The Audacity to Podcast.

For your own efforts of SEO with your podcast show, we hope that you can learn good habits from whatever training or education resource you may have, and then apply good steps and have excellent results from your SEO efforts.

Thank you for your attention.

376- Membership site benefits for podcasters

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode of The Podcast Reporter, we deliver information about the benefits of membership sites for podcasters, especially during the isolation, lockdown and cabin-fever during the recent “plandemic.” We give an example of Daniel J Lewis membership site called Podcasters Society. A key objective that can also be one of the biggest benefit is to take your podcast show from average to “amazing” levels.

My own experience is discussed when I did join (and later re-joined) his membership site, as well as the benefits that I reaped from that program, as I did receive VALUE from it.

From the video tour of the total program online, I then migrated to take courses listed for members (yes, I had intended to purchase two of them in the near future, but they were free for members) — and I received more value.

As you will hear in this audio episode, the Podcasters Society membership site is much more than just a mere Mastermind group — it is really (in my opinion) a “collaborative mentorship” program for me.

We hope that you can explore membership sites, such as Podcasters Society, so you can connect and communicate with other like-minded podcasters and learn from the wealth of educational materials provided.

Thank you for your attention.

371- A grateful thanks to podcasters

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode of The Podcast Reporter, we discuss the statement of thanks to podcasters for their contributions and service to the podosphere during these times.

The theme was created from a statement from Daniel J Lewis of The Audacity to Podcast in a recent interview which we did by using the double-ender strategy.

The theme was heightened by the Vietnam Veterans National Day of thanks at the end of March every year since 2014. And my thanks also went to Daniel’s father, who served as an Air Force member during the same conflict in which I was involved — and who, in all probability, might have saved my life.

However, my gratitude goes to the contributions of podcasters — whether to Indie podcasters or professional podcasters or corporate podcasters.

I look forward to the end of September, when we shall celebrate the international podcast day (founded by Steven Lee and Daniel J Lewis).

My heartfelt thanks goes to all podcasters for making the podosphere such a wonderful and level-playing platform at this time.

In this episode, we take the time for a good interview with Daniel J Lewis of The Audacity to Podcast. Daniel is also known as an award-winning podcasters since 2010, and he is the founder of Podcasters Society (a membership site that I have called a “collaborative mentorship”).

It may seem a bit lengthy, but having known Daniel since 2010 (when I first interviewed him in my then-flagship podcast of The Struggling Entrepreneur), we had some catching up to do in this update about his role in the podosphere and the future of his offerings.

We thank Daniel and wish him the best in delivering value to his audiences with his podcasts, his offerings, his products and his content.

Thank you for your attention.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode of The Podcast Reporter, we discuss what it takes to perform a remote interview without any intervening software program.

This recording can be done with each party recording their own audio during the telephone interview, and then forwarding the audio to the person elected to do the final editing, synchronizing and creating the final mp3.

The steps are given in an informal manner during this instructional audio episode.

Referred to during this episode is the Pre-flight podcast recording checklist from Daniel J Lewis of The Audacity to Podcast.

Good luck with any double-ender remote interviews that you may implement.

Thank you for your attention.
