2018/01/14

The question on everyone's lips is "How do you make money from a podcast?" And while there are some podcasters making a living from their show the majority of people don't make a dime. That doesn't mean you can't generate revenue from your podcast but you need to think more creatively than just "How can I sell ads?"

Why you shouldn't waste time in your podcast...

2018/01/07

Your podcast introduction is one of the most important pieces of release estate you've got in your show. Those precious few seconds after people press play can be the make or break when deciding whether to listen. So, if you're one of those podcaster's who wastes time faffing about with your co-host in your podcast introduction instead of getting on with your content may I ask you, ever so politely, to please stop.

PodSchool ·

2017/12/17

A snazzy podcast player isn’t going to make up for a crappy show but it does form part of your brand. The way your podcast looks on your website can be an indication to some people of how professional it is. So, it’s important to think about the design of your podcast player. Luckily this isn't something you have to put together yourself because your podcast host will have one but which one do you choose? Check out the full episode show notes:

Do you need to release your podcast on the same day?

PodSchool ·

2017/12/10

If you want listeners to keep checking in with your show you need to set an appointment with them so they know when to expect your content. That means you need to release your podcast on the same day every week. Growing an audience is all about building a relationship and if you want people to keep coming back they have to know where to find you. Showing your audience you're committed to them builds trust and trust is what encourages people to recommend your show. It's also what ultimately gives

How to sound like a one-take wonder

PodSchool ·

2017/12/03

Sometimes when you're in the depths of editing your podcast you'll realise there's something you need to re-record. Maybe you took too long to get your point across, or you got a few facts wrong, or you just sounded bored and want to pep it up a bit. If you're not careful, those re-records (or 'pickups') can sound obvious because they're not recorded in the natural flow of the original conversation. Or, they're not recorded in the same space as the original audio. So how can you make it sound like

How to improve your podcast with 'segments'

PodSchool ·

2017/11/12

Some people think there’s only one way to do a podcast...open the microphones and talk until you run out of things to say. And while there are some very successful shows that subscribe to that formula it’s not the only way to do a show. Chatting non-stop might seem like the easiest option when you’re new to podcasting. But just because you’re a beginner doesn’t mean you can’t think more creatively about how to deliver your content. Breaking your show up into podcast segments can be a great way to

What's the difference between a USB and XLR mic?

PodSchool ·

2017/11/05

The letters USB and XLR refer to the way a microphone connects to the device that's recording your words. That device could be a computer if you're recording straight into audio software, or a portable recording device like a Zoom. Whichever way you decide to record your podcast you need to know which microphone is right for you, so you don't buy something that won't connect to anything. So what's the difference and which one should you choose? Check out the full episode show notes:

2017/10/30

If your podcast features more than one person, whether it’s a co-host or guest, there’ll be times when you won’t be able to record in the same room. Recording in the same location will always yield the best audio quality and conversational chemistry. But the tech is so good these days you can still put together a professional sounding podcast even if your guest is coming to you ‘live’ from the Arctic tundra (provided the Arctic tundra has good internet access…which it probably doesn’t, but you get

Should you conduct a pre-interview with your podcast...

PodSchool ·

2017/10/22

Conducting a pre-interview might seem like a pain in the butt when you've already got so much to do for each episode but it can really help you get the most out of your podcast guest. If you spend time during the pre-interview working out the best stories and advice your guest will be able to offer, you’ll be more able to focus the interview on those areas. Often you can get a lot of this from research. But if there’s not much online about your guest a quick phone chat can be a simpler way of

Why do you need to tag your podcast MP3s?

2017/10/09

Not every part of podcasting is as thrilling as sitting down with a high-profile guest or belly laughing with your co-host. But adding tags to your podcast MP3 files is a step that helps ensure your show goes out into the ether with all the right information attached. It also ensures your show can be enjoyed by people who might not be able to listen to your show. In this episode, I explain how to tag your podcast MP3s and which software I use. Resources...

2017/09/17

Transcribing your podcast is the process of turning the audio of your episode into text so there’s a readable version on your website...a podcast transcript. If you’re thinking “isn’t podcasting about getting your show into people’s ears, not their eyes?” you’re right. But there are a few reasons why taking some extra time to transcribe your podcast is a good idea. In this episode, I explain the benefits of having a podcast transcript on your website and also where you can get it

"How long should my podcast be?" is a question that stumps almost every podcaster. And it's one they spend way too much time worrying about because the answer is simple. The ideal length of your show is the ideal length for your content. There should be no fluff, no additional crap, no rabbiting on for 20 minutes before you get to the good stuff.

Having a professional podcast intro and outro can be the difference between sounding like you've thrown something together and sounding like a professional show. If you want to create a complex version with a lot of bells and whistles you'll probably need to hire someone or you can go with a simple version using only music. Either way, you need a podcast intro and outro to book end your show and make sure it sounds professional. In this episode, I explain how to build the perfect intro and outro
