Turn Up The Volume On Your Voice

I’m doing something altogether scary in this episode. I’m only planning the first half of it. 

I’m hoping I can illustrate a point about planned and unplanned podcasts. 

I of course make the case for planning and explain what happens when I fall back from my own planning...

All around me in rural Shropshire farmers are harvesting their crops. Which inspired me to think about how you can harvest the most from your podcast.

Don't worry you don't need to grab a tin of beans from the back of the cupboard to chuck in the Harvest Festival collection.

Instead I'm talking all the different ways you can reuse and repurpose your podcast and your podcast content.

I am brilliant at procrastinating, I mean why take 1 hour to something when you can faff about and take 3, 4 or let’s push the boat out 7. 

And it might surprise you to hear that it’s not just my accounts, emails and bookkeeping that I procrastinate around doing. Sometimes it can even be my podcasts.

If you also could write a book on how to procrastinate like a boss instead of actually making your latest podcast then get your ears around this episode.

There is no right or wrong time to launch your podcast. You should launch it when it’s best for you and why you are doing your podcast.

BUT if you are saving your podcast for next year in the same way I’m saving my diet for next year you might be making a mistake for the same reasons I’m making a mistake. Your podcast is just like my diet and I explain why in this episode.

I've just come back from a speaking gig at the One Voice Conference this weekend.

And it got me thinking about a service I offered pre-pandemic, of creating podcasts of and around events and conferences.

So as these start to return I'm sharing my reasons why I think having a dedicated podcast for your conference or event is a great way to create kudos, credibility and bring more people to you.

I’m still thinking a lot about my LIVE podcast episode recording that I did and that’s partly inspired this week’s episode. 

The other thing that has inspired this week’s episode is that people have told me they’re not sure if they’re supposed to be learning when listening to podcasts. And what that’s supposed to look like! They’ve said they’re a bit confused about whether a podcast is just an audio webinar.

So I thought I’d compare podcasts and webinars so you can understand the differences and similarities and help you decide which one is better for you to deliver your message in the best way for your audience.

Last week’s episode was recorded live in front of an audience. Virtually. Because it’s 2021 and also it was a sort of last minute decision. 

This week I want to reflect on the experience, the good, the bad and the ugly. Although I don’t like the word ugly - so let’s go with the good, the not so good and the OH THAT’S A SURPRISE!

I’m pretty confident you can come up with the main benefits of having a podcast. Let’s be honest I bang on about how a podcast helps build your community, boosts your profile, increases your authority and is a great way to produce long form content. 

But actually there are some unexpected and surprising benefits of having a podcast that I and many others I know - either as clients or as simply fellow podcasters - have also experienced.

1) This podcast saved my business

2) This podcast keeps me organised

3) Podcasting boosts your confidence

4) Podcasting brings new opportunities

5) Podcasting has helped me network and make friends

A podcast trailer episode is more important than you might think.

And for too long I think they've been considered an afterthought by many podcasters (including me)

But no more. In this episode I explain why a podcast trailer is vital for your podcast series and why you should treat it as an episode in it's own right.

Don't forget you can come along to the LIVE RECORDING of the next episode of Turn Up The Volume On Your Voice - sign up here, it's free, online and taking place on Friday 1.30pm
