| Keys to Helping Podcast Clients Look and Sound GREAT! | 13 Sep 2024 | 00:40:44 | |
Are your podcast clients getting bad audio and video from themselves or their guests? We share tips on how to address the issue, whether you're there to help them or not. Episode Notes: https://podcasteditorsmastermind.com/episode/keys-to-helping-podcast-clients-look-and-sound-great
We're sharing some of the keys to helping your podcast clients sound and look great. It might feel uncomfortable initially, but it offers great benefits for your clients, their audience, and you. We'll explore how to help them create a good recording space for success, whether it's an audio studio or a video set. Then we'll talk about the thing we ALL love to obsess over - the GEAR! Of course, it doesn't stop there, because having a great studio with great gear won't get the results your clients are looking for if they don't use it right. Or if they let their guests set the standard for what should be considered "good." Editors can assist by encouraging clients to speak up if guests aren't performing well or by stepping in for the host during live recordings.

Darrell shares his journey in podcasting, building a team, managing cash flow, and valuing human touch in AI's rise. Episode Notes: https://podcasteditorsmastermind.com/episode/pem090-darrell-darnell
Ever thought about how to create a great podcast editing team or expand from being a one-person operation to a full editing service? Buckle up because today, we're diving into team building with our special guest Darrell Darnell from Pro Podcast Solutions. In a galaxy very near to us, Darrell started his editing journey on Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you…) as a solo editor, but he always planned to build a team. He knew that he wanted to focus on what he did best and, unlike Lord Vader, provide the support and guidance to allow his team to serve their clients well. As you might imagine, Darrell has picked up a few things over the past 11 years. Stick around as we dig into the ins and outs of working with contractors across the cosmos, hiring practices that allow him to choose his Jedi Knights well, and navigating the treacherous waters of Imperial laws and tax advisors. You're sure to be scribbling notes faster than R2-D2 can project a hologram. Are you powered up, locked in, and ready to go? It's time to start the show! Listen to Discover

| Do Podcast Editors Need a Portfolio to Wow Prospective Clients? | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:33:27 | |
Hey there, fellow audio wizards! Get ready to have your mind filled with golden nuggets of podcast editing wisdom in this latest chat we stitched together for you. Jennifer and Bryan have been in the trenches, debating if the magic of our editing hands needs a showcase or if word-of-mouth does the trick. Spoiler alert: we don't exactly hear ear-to-ear on this (see what we did there?). While Bryan is all for flaunting your audio flair, Jennifer’s got a point — some clients care more about the whisper of a solid testimonial than a flashy edited collage. We’ll dive deep into the world of demo reels, those pesky legal bits to think about before using your work as samples, and that headache-inducing task of updating your website. We might even shed light on why you should swap that "Hire me!" page for Jesse McCune's suggestion for something different. So buckle up, pour a fresh cup of joe, and let's chop it up, editor to editor. And as always, we've got some laughs in store because, let's be honest, life's too short for dull conversations. Let's hit play on this treasure trove of insights! Episode Notes: https://podcasteditorsmastermind.com/episode/pem089-portfolios Listen to Discover

And while we waxed poetic about demos, portfolios, platforms, and the cheeky antique key conundrum (got any ideas on that?), we didn't dive into a long list of tools this time. We focused more on the "how" and "why" behind showcasing your mad editing skills. If you're hyperventilating because you expected some software name-dropping, don't fret! A previous brain-picking might have just what you need – check out our episodes archive or our Facebook group for those nitty-gritty details. Keep those ears sharp and your sense of humor sharper, and remember to only share the work you have rights to. Legal oopsies are no joke!

| How to Talk About What You Do as a Podcast Editor - Workshop Edition | 16 Mar 2023 | 00:45:46 | |
Freedom is great. And it can be overwhelming. When you're talking with prospective clients, you have incredible freedom in how you describe what you do. But with that freedom also comes the challenge to make sure you cover things in a way that will connect with your ideal client and give them confidence. And, if we may be so bold, quickly filter out the working relationships that might not be the best. Let's be clear - we don't have it all figured out. But we're committed to working on this together. Listen to hear us workshop our elevator pitches and service descriptions. And maybe even some input from the PEM community. Listen to Discover

| How to Talk About What You Do as a Podcast Editor | 02 Mar 2023 | 00:53:36 | |
One of the great things about podcasting is that there aren't really any "rules." Sure, there are principles that often apply. But no rules. However, there's a downside to that in that sometimes the words we use mean something different to prospective clients or employers than what the mean to us. Like the word, "podcast editor." What does that really mean? Listen to learn more about the different kinds of editing. Along the way, you might find out something about a new way you want to grow as an editor. And you'll likely gain some insight into how to describe what you do so that you can create differentiation and clarity in the minds of your customers and potential customers. Listen to Discover

| Should I Charge Extra For Podcast Editing Clients Who Provide Files Late? | 07 Jul 2022 | 00:53:52 | |
Editing podcasts can be a lot of work, and when clients provide files late or make last-minute changes, it can be frustrating. As you already know, getting late files can be a HUGE disruption to your business and your life. But what should you do about it? Should you charge a punitive fee? Should you push back due dates? Should you just fire the client? Yeah, there are options, but navigating them isn't necessarily easy and, ultimately, it's up to you to decide what's best for your business. If you find that late files are becoming a regular problem, it may be worth instituting a policy that charges extra for them. This will help to offset the extra work that you have to put in, and it will also send a message to your clients that such behavior is not acceptable. So what do you think? Should editors charge extra for late podcast files? Listen and share your thoughts.

| How to Promote Your Podcast Editing Business Without Spamming Everyone | 27 Jun 2022 | 00:42:04 | |
Starting a podcast editing business is hard. It's a service-based business, with a ton of technical skills to pick up. But don't forget that as a business owner, you also win the job of business owner (which also means business promoter). That's part of what makes it so hard to get started. You have to balance all the things. You have to spin all the plates. And at the end of a 14-hour day, when you realize that you don't have any new business in the pipeline, it's YOUR job to go out and get some new business. That's when it's so tempting to just hop on Facebook or Reddit and start spamming all the groups with, "Want editing? I can help." And then the group admin's ban hammer strikes hard, you get booted from all the groups, and even your closest childhood friends won't talk to you anymore, either. Okay. Maybe not that extreme. But there has to be a better way. And that's what we're going to talk about - some ideas for how you can get the word out about what you're doing without opening up that can of potted meat byproduct. We may not have your specific answer, but we'll share our thoughts, brainstorm together, and maybe we'll all come out a little stronger.

| How to Rebrand As a Podcast Editor | 09 Jun 2022 | 00:47:48 | |
Do you feel like you're stuck in a rut as a podcast editor? Does it seem like you're never able to land a new client? Or worse, that you're attracting the wrong clients? Maybe you feel like you're spinning your wheels, or you know you're getting some traction on social media or traffic to your website, but it never seems to convert. It doesn't turn into anything. If that's the case, it's possible that you need to look at your branding - to make sure that it's speaking directly to that ideal client you want to meet. Sure, it can be scary (and humbling) to think about blowing up the brand you spent months or years building. But if that's what's keeping you from getting some traction, it might be time to take a look at that. Listen to discover what's leading a couple of our beloved Yetis to step into the process of rebranding, hear what they're thinking about (and afraid of), and discover some keys that might help you avoid the same mistakes we've made. What we discussed

| How to Use Survivor Bias to Your Advantage | 26 May 2022 | 00:56:38 | |
How do you make decisions about what's possible or the right thing to do? Do you look for examples of success to the exclusion of contrary information? That's Survivor Bias. And it's all over in the podcasting space. I mean, if we didn't think we could be Joe Rogan, would we even try? Hopefully. But the downside of Survivor Bias is that it's possible we might toil for years on the faulty assumption that something's possible. Or that the way it's always been done is the right way to do it. But that if that's not the case? What if we guide our clients based on faulty information? Listen as we explore the concept of Survivor Bias and how it can affect us, our businesses, and our clients. We don't claim to know the answers, but we want to ask the questions because we want to see you, ourselves, and our collective clients succeed. Resources:

| What to Keep Confidential When Talking with Peers in Podcast Production | 14 May 2022 | 00:57:14 | |
The great thing about the podcast production industry is that for the most part, we're all friends (or at least friendly). But that doesn't mean that we should share EVERYTHING with our peers. After all, sometimes we are also competing with each other for the same jobs. What things can we talk about? What things should we talk about? What things might get us into legal or ethical hot water? Listen to hear our thoughts and feel free to share your own in the comments. This episode edited by Alejandro Ramirez.

Being a podcast editor can seem like it's all fun and games until you mess up on someone else's show. Then it can be scary.

| Crafting the Packages and Prices Podcasters Want: A Mastermind Session | 09 Apr 2022 | 00:54:08 | |
You’d be wrong to think that prices are based on a simple equation. You’d also be wrong if you think podcasters want the packages you’re selling right now. The joy of a new, dynamic industry like ours is also it’s curse: We are constantly having to adapt creative minds and their new ideas. So what strategies do you use to determine what to provide clients and what that service is worth? Mailbag: Do you have a system for creating packages and prices? We’d love to hear from you! (because Carrie really wants to do a mailbag/AMA episode) We learned a few things throughout this episode, but one of them was how much strategies vary from editor to editor. That editors are constantly re-evaluating and refining offerings and rates. And that packages rarely seem to suit podcasters (which is something to explore on its own in a future episode). When you quoted your first client, did you pull a number out of the air? If you did it’s normal. We aren’t MBAs. We’re editors– part artists, part techies– who had this wild idea to invent a job that is challenging, flexible and rewarding. That’s why we started this show: to work through these sorts of things with our community… to mastermind with you. We asked our live audience what models they used and shared our own. Here were the answers...
We also covered the pros and cons of various billing cycles. Surprisingly, some of are moving away from monthly billing. Scope Creep and a la carte packages It was pretty well agreed that no one package is right for the majority of podcasters. There’s always something that’s not quite right. Or a podcaster wants more than agreed to without, ahem, wanting to pay for it. A la carte and a clear contract may be your best bet for staving off scope creep.If you're like us, you have things to say about what we talked about in this episode. If you're a member of our community, you most certainly can do that. You might even see a live editing session or product demo! Links:

| Podcast Editor Websites: A Tansy Aster Tear-down | 18 Mar 2022 | 00:55:53 | |
Podcast editors: Do you have a website? Do you know whether your website is working for or against your business? Most of us are incredibly good at podcast production and might even have some basic web design skills. But that doesn't mean that we're all experts on branding, user experience, accessibility, and more. We know that a great website can be an amazing asset for our businesses. But how can we make the most of our websites? How can we know for sure what we should include and what we should leave out? How can we know when we should just do it ourselves and when it's time to bring in a pro to help us? We don't know either...But Tara Kelly of Tansy Aster Creative does. She's a brand strategist, web developer, video and music producer, copywriter, and so much more. And she's going to be joining us to share what we need to know. This isn't just another one of those "why you need a website" episodes. Make sure you don't miss this :) Links & Resources
About Tara Kelly (in her own words) Storytelling is my life, and I’m always working to get to the next level. I have a BA in Film & Digital Media from the University of California Santa Cruz, a Brand Management Certificate from Cornell University, and over a decade of professional experience working as a brand strategist + designer, web developer, video and music producer, and copywriter. Telling a damn good story is what gets me up in the morning. In my career, I've worked with nonprofits, thought leaders, multi-published authors, healthcare organizations, and organizations focused on social responsibility and sustainability. I strive to make the world a more inclusive and accessible place for all. I’m also a multi-published, award-winning author with Macmillan who is obsessed with avocados, hiking, and chasing storms. #proudlyneurodivergent EditorThis episode of the Podcast Editors Mastermind was edited by Alejandro Ramirez.
