Podcast Therapy: Why Do People Love Podcasts So Much?

9m · Published 03 Aug 08:00

The reasons why people love podcasts is pretty subjective.

For starters, they could get attached to the host and tune in every episode just to hear what he or she has to say.

Perhaps the podcast features valuable guests you don't want to miss.

Maybe it's because every time they listen, they learn something new that can be implemented into their life on a personal or professional level.

Hell, it could be because a podcast allows for an escape from their everyday life...even if for a few minutes.

It could be any of these reasons or something completely different, but there's one common denominator that makes podcasts such an important part of people's lives:

Podcasts are passive.

That means podcasts can be consumed without one having their full attention dedicated to said consumption.

You can put on a podcast and take a walk, get in a workout, make your morning or afternoon commute more enjoyable, even get some chores around the house completed.

All while swinging to the sweet sounds of your favorite podcast content provider.

Podcasts play a meaningful role in people's lives because they enjoy the content while partaking in something else they enjoy.

Or, at the very least, a solid podcast can make the not-so-enjoyable moments a little bit easier to stomach.

This is why you can't ignore bringing a podcast into your business practices. The connections you build are too powerful to forego.

In this episode of Solo Podcasting Simplified, it's another installment of Podcast Therapy and, just like the title suggests, I'll be sharing why people love podcasts so much, as well as why you can't ignore building a podcast of your own based on that love affair.

How Important Is a Website For Your Solo Podcast?

14m · Published 02 Aug 08:00

If you listened to Episode 012 of Solo Podcasting Simplified, you know my guest, Mickey Anderson, and I spent our entire conversation unpacking strategies for leveraging a solo podcast within your brand.

And by far, one of the most important aspects we focused on was utilizing your website to feature your podcast content.

Or, building a separate website 100% dedicated to your podcast production.

Why is this so important?

We discussed a variety of reasons:

  • The SEO benefits
  • The value podcast content adds to your website
  • The value podcast content adds to your overall brand should you ever choose to exit your business

Podcasting has evolved beyond just being an audio format.

The content found within your podcast can be extracted and used to provide impact and transformation to people who discover you, but may not necessarily listen to podcasts.

Today, podcast content is often discovered through search engines like Google and YouTube on a daily basis.

And if you don't optimize your content for discoverability through your website, you're leaving huge opportunity and a great deal of potential money on the table.

In this episode of Solo Podcasting Simplified, I'm diving deeper into the importance of leveraging your website to showcase your podcast content and sharing some tips to help you make it happen with ease.

The Important Pieces of the Solo Podcasting Puzzle You Can't Ignore with Mickey Anderson

34m · Published 01 Aug 08:00

Having a podcast is great. The value it brings to your brand cannot be overlooked or ignored.

The connection you build with current and potential clients is profound and each episode you publish provides further social proof that you're a true thought leader in your niche that people can learn from.

You also have an amazing opportunity to connect with fellow like-minded professionals, thus amplifying your reach and expanding your network.

A podcast serves as a consistent, reliable content distribution channel that allows you to effectively project your message to a targeted audience and communicate how you can help them achieve the transformation they seek.

The content found within your podcast can be repurposed and utilized on other channels, such as websites, blogs, YouTube, and social media.

This, in turn, fuels the growth of your brand presence and moves you closer to closing new business, thus fueling more growth, and so on, and so on.

And when your podcast is of the solo variety (meaning you're the primary voice on the majority of episodes delivering value, wisdom, and transformative insight), listeners who resonate with your message will feel the impact from you...and you alone. 

Building a solo podcast directly related to your brand and leveraging the content you create to the fullest extent is going to provide you with a bona fide path to connectivity with current and potential customers the likes of which you've never experienced.

That type of impact is impossible to exclude from your overall brand-building strategy.

In Episode 012 of Solo Podcasting Simplified, I'm proud to share the mic with this podcast's first guest, the Marketing Closer herself, Mickey Anderson. 

Mickey is a wealth of knowledge on content strategy, marketing concepts, and how to best use solo content to position yourself as a resource your industry needs.

Join Mickey and I for an in-depth conversation about:

  • Solo podcast strategy
  • How to use solo content to position yourself as a thought leader
  • The value a podcast adds to your brand
  • The importance of using your content to amplify your website presence
