Value for Value or (podcasting 2.0) is NOT just about streaming Satoshi's (a very small amount of bitcoin). Today, we will discuss asking for support and what tools fit best for your situation.

I may earn a small commission for some of these as I participate in their affiliate program. This costs you nothing and supports the show.

Hello Audio

Captivate

Buzzsprout

All of these platforms have their own strengths. If I just wanted to accept money, I'd use Buy Me a Coffee. If I wanted to sell premium content, I would use Supercast (although Captivate and Buzzsprout are very attractive if you are using them for hosting). Supercast has a super easy onboarding for new listeners with a two-click install, and their percentage is in alignment with others (if not less).

Keep In Mind:

A show with WOW content will likely get around 3% of its audience to engage.

New podcasters should focus on building great content and their audience instead of monetizing, which can lead to disappointment.

There are MANY other ways to make money with your podcast besides advertising and asking for support. See my book Profit From Your Podcast.

We all know that person who is always embarking on new adventures and taking risks. It seems like they were born with an innate sense of courage - but the truth is, everyone has the potential for courage. Doubt is part of the podcasting process. Today I'm back from the Erma Bombeck Writers Workshop with some insights to help you get started and keep going. 

I also made some mistakes that I will share and some insights on some tools and strategies.

Audience analysis is a critical part of any effective communication. Without understanding what your audience wants, needs, and values, it is impossible to create a message that will resonate. Fortunately, there are a few key methods for understanding your audience so that you can better serve them. Today I share three tools you can use to better understand your audience.

Learn the secret to reading your audience's mind

Today I show you three strategies:

Amazon Strategy

1. Look at 4 and 2-star reviews in Amazon. They typically are more constructive and specific than 1 and 5-star reviews.

Search YouTube

2. Search for your topic and YouTube and find a channel about your topic. Then go to the video and sort by popularity. Then click on the most popular video and sort the comments for the best comments.

Search Facebook

3. In Facebook when you see a topic you want to follow click the three dots ( ... an ellipsis) and choose "turn on notifications for this post." Also, there is a search box in Facebook groups that can help you find the answer quicker (often questions have been asked before). Lastly, read the rules of the group and follow them. 

Search Twitter

5. Search Hashtags on Twitter and start conversations as well as read what people are talking about. So many people only use social media to push notifications about THEM instead of going to listen and research. I found this tweet about getting more subscribers from Shawn Dill.

Click HERE to go to Twitter Advanced Search

4. Don't Poach Other People's Clients

Often people in the same genre as you will have an open community, if you join this community, don't self-promote. You are a guest in this person's house and it is very tacky to try and score clients. I am in a few groups of people who do the same thing I do. I answer questions and insights, but mostly I'm there to LISTEN.

Mentioned

People talk about how hard it is to find guests for their show. I think a more accurate statement is "it's hard to find a good guest for your show." Today I have directories where you can list your show (and yourself) to help you connect with the podcasting space. 

Dave's Fun Text Tool

I'm testing TextMagic (aff) because there is no monthly fee. There is a $4/month fee for the phone line, and they charge you 4 cents per text I send. I'm not using this for marketing, I am using it to auto-respond when people text the words (with follow or new to 833204405) you will get a text from me. I'm using Text Magic (aff link). 

Previous Episode on All thing Interviews

Previously I did an episode 678 about interviews from both sides of the microphone. 

Keeping Track of Who and When You Contact Potential Podcast Guests

The tool is used for this is Less Annoying CRM which isn't so much about building sales funnels as it is a way to keep track of your contact with people. There is a free CRM from Hub Spot but there is a bit of a learning curve.

PodcastGuests.com

For Podcasters: Invite relevant experts and other podcasters to be guests on your podcast. For Experts: Get booked on great podcasts to expand your reach and audience. I have received more quality interviews from this resource than any other guest booking service.

Guest.io

Guest.io is the world's only marketplace to find professional guests and platforms. Got some publicity as this incorporates the ability to charge to be on a show, or charge a fee to appear on a show.

Padverb

You can use Padverb to discover new, exciting interview guests. Our site lists more than 10,000 influencers organized by professional category, such as authors economists, journalists, etc. You can also search profiles by name and browse interviews by keyword.

Podmatch

Imagine Your Favorite Online Dating App, But Instead Of Using It For Finding Dates, You're Booking Podcast Interviews. We Use The Same(ish) Technology For Automated Matching!

Anchor Guest

Getting booked as a podcast guest has never been this simple. Podcast hosts can easily browse our network of speakers and make direct contact with them for bookings

Radio Guest List

Today I share how I saw the power one person's influence can have as I went to a documentary about Kenny Lambert, and they filled a historic theater in downtown Akron. Why not you? Kenny was a homeless drug addict, and now his influence has helped a ton of people. 

Heather Osgood is the founder of True Native Media, a podcast representation agency specializing in podcast advertising. She is also the founder of The Podcast Broker, a marketplace for buying and selling podcasts. With an extensive background in radio advertising and a love for podcasting, Heather was in a unique position to start an agency that could help both advertisers get better results and assist podcasters in finding sponsors. 

She is the host of The Podcast Advertising Playbook, a show dedicated to educating anyone interested in podcast advertising. When Heather is not playing matchmaker to brands and podcasts, you will find her hiking and spending time with her family at the beach.

I Saw What One Person Can Do

I interview Kenny Lambert from Just a Dad From Akron, on my Akron Podcast show. Kenny explains how he was homeless and suffering from drug addiction, and now he is sober and lives to give back. His life has been turned into a documentary that filled a historic theater in downtown Akron. It was amazing to see all the people one person can touch and to see his influence all in one place. It was amazing.

Heather Osgood Can Help You Sell Your Podcast

Heather Osgood (along with Ben Richardson and Alberto Betella from Rss.com James Cridland From Podnews, and Gordan "The Podcast Lawyer" Firemark) have launched the Podcast Broker 

The Podcast Broker was created to simplify the process of buying or selling an established podcast. Utilizing years of experience, we provide a roadmap to execute a well-crafted hand-off from host to host to ensure a seamless experience for both parties.

I talk with Sunny Gault who is one of the people who help run the Podcast Network Alliance where podcasters who are running a podcast network get together and share strategies. 

Currently, the network is free.

 I had someone ask me, "Why do you think Joe Rogan is so popular? and I took some time to do some research. I wrote a blog post/video at https://schoolofpodcasting.com/how-to-do-a-podcast-like-joe-rogan/

Things We Learned/Noticed

• Joe can be a bit of a lightning rod. You either love him or hate him
• Joe had impostor syndrome.
• Joe only has guests he wants to talk to
• Joe creates an environment where people don't have to worry about triggering others. They talk freely.
• Joe actually mocks/jokes with his guests. Who do you do this with? Your closest friends. 
• Joe is authentic and it resonates.
• He spent years learning how to entertain audiences and eventually moved to where he could get more work.
• While he is a celebrity, that may work to get you to press play ONCE, but you need to deliver value to get them to click AGAIN. 
• Joe states the top skills for an interviewer are listening and thinking

My Opinion

I listen to Joe's show when I see a guest I know and want to no more.

I believe Joe could use some editing. Not to make it 20 minutes, but there are times when I am asking, "How did this make it past the edit?"

THE BOTTOM LINE

You need to be comfortable being yourself. When you try to be someone else, it's hard and doesn't work. That added weight of being someone else leads to burnout.

Play to your strengths. Let your humor shine if you have it. If you're more serious, then build a show around it. 

Everyone's biggest fear is to create a show while being themselves will result in a show that's not popular. There are SO MANY reasons why a show can fail, but I can help you avoid the most common mistakes.
