Fail To Prepare - Prepare To Fail

Season 1 · Episode 8

Tuesday, November 19, 2024 • Duration 03:23

Welcome to this episode of How to Podcast for Business an Introduction.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Today's episode is all about planning.

Being prepared when starting or launching your podcast is key. It's like anything else you do in business. Rarely would you just dive in without some preparation

we've already discussed having a clear idea of exactly what your business podcast is about, but what does it aim to solve for your listener? Will it make their business better? Will it solve a pain point? How is it different to other podcasts on the same subject? Is yours plain English and easy to understand.

Is it actionable information? Is it broken into bite-sized, easy, digestible stages for your listener? Don't lose sight of the aim. I want to help people plan and produce their own business. Podcast, for example, think about podcasts you like and why you like, Are they short and sweet? Are they in depth information?

Do they educate and inform? Do they give away lots of advice and tips? Are they solo pods or interview style?

looking in depth and listening to what you like will make it easier for you. When you're planning your own podcast, follow the format of what you listen to if you like. Think about their length, their guest, their tone of voice, what did you take away from listening to it? Was it a value? These are the things your listener will be thinking about when choosing your podcast or indeed whether to subscribe once they've listened to it.

In previous episodes, we've discussed your avatar, the perfect listener for your podcast, your target market, for your business. Essentially, let's revisit it in the planning pre-production stage. So that we can be clear who you are talking to.

This is key. When planning each episode, always have that avatar at the top of your mind, you are speaking to them. Think about your business marketing strategy. Who do you want to speak to, who you are already speaking to. They could be already in your database of current clients.

What do they struggle with? Could you help them to solve a problem?

Remember that if you have a database of current or previous clients, these are your potential listeners and buyers of your product or service. So let's be clear on who you're speaking to, what you are telling them, and why you should now have planned the what and why.

In the next episode, we talk about how

To Script or Not to Script!

Season 1 · Episode 7

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 • Duration 03:41

To script or not to script - that is the question.

In this episode, we are talking the talk, but how do we plan that talk?

Basically, are you writing your podcast?

There are three ways of planning your episodes: Bullet points, the key points you want to cover. A detailed outline, this expands on the bullets and adds more written detail or the word for word script.

Let's look at the pros and cons of each. Sometimes some can fit better with whatever format you've chosen. If it’s a solo show with a host who knows the subject inside and out, can get away with bullet points. Or an interview where the interviewer doesn't want too much information pre-recording.

They might want just to use bullets too. I used to do that when I was live on air on my business show because that way my questions were real. They came after I'd listened to the responses, and I often got told “you’re asking the questions the listener was thinking”. That's because I just had bullet points of the points I wanted to cover, but genuinely listened to the person I was interviewing.

So, are you going to outline it? Are you going to ad lib? Ad lib is really hard, especially if you are in a panel and don't know the group. People can be cutting in talking over each other, editing's harder, you could outline a group discussion and put in clear points. You'd most definitely script the podcast intro, as we've mentioned before, so it's exactly the same every week.

Both the intro and the outro on each episode can be recorded, so as it's the same, some podcasters, as I've mentioned, do it live each episode, but they still stay on brand and they still read the script at that part.

What about the writing style?

A few words around that. Write like your talk if you script in episodes. If you are scripting, script the words you use on a daily basis and keep it simple. That's what people want to hear, your authentic voice. If you've scripted your podcast, you'll stumble over the words if it's things you wouldn't normally say.

So, write like you talk. If you're podcasting for the first time, you probably feel more comfortable scripting a few episodes to begin with, and then you'll probably move on to bullet points with outlines and who knows, you might just get to the bullet point stage. I'm sure you will.

Podcasts Aren't Interviews! (Format & Length)

Season 1 · Episode 6

Sunday, July 14, 2024 • Duration 06:07

We're discussing the format now, of your planned podcast.

It's really important in the pre-production planning stage, that you get really clear what your podcast format will be? And how often will it publish?

Is it going to be weekly, two weekly, monthly. How long will it be? Will it be one season? Will there be more than one season? (or series) Will you break between seasons?

Will you have a recorded intro and outro, or will you read it live each episode? There's lots to consider here. And don't forget, nothing stops you changing it later on or mix and matching.

Let's dive into the format. There are numerous formats and you're more than likely have heard podcasts of all of these types.

There's a solo podcast just like this episode where the podcast host is talking directly to you on their own. You DON"T NEED TO INTERVIEW PEOPLE TO HAVE A PODCAST!

Is it going to be an interview type? You can have a host where they're questioning you as the expert

There's the co-host. There are two members of your organization going to talk on the podcast. Are you going to invite others in? Will there be a structure or is it ad hoc? You definitely need some key points here as guidance.

Is the interview relevant? Can the interviewee hold a good conversation? Are they interesting?

Trust me, the most confident chatty person can dry up when a microphone is placed in front of them. Is it a panel interview? Is it hybrid? Is it a bit of both? , you've really, really got to think seriously about the format, and like I said, it doesn't have to be an interview. If you’re getting going and you've got all the knowledge, do what I'm doing now and just talk into a microphone about what you know about and that will give you the confidence and the experience to then go into your next series or season talking to someone else.

Just because you have a podcast doesn't mean you have to interview someone.

That's not what it's all about.

It's giving valuable information to people to listen to. That's what the aim of your podcast is, turning them into fans so they then become clients or customers.

Who is Your Podcast for?

Season 1 · Episode 5

Sunday, July 14, 2024 • Duration 05:26

Now you now know what podcasting is and why you want to add one to your digital marketing strategy. But before we dive right in, there is more planning to be done. I know, but I'll repeat this. Fail to plan. Plan to fail - simple.

You've got to plan in advance and know exactly what you want to be doing.

So, let's look in this episode at your target audience. We'll drill down into who you want to listen to your podcast and who is going to listen to your podcast.

We are talking business podcasts here, so think target audience for your business.

Initially. This will be really helpful. Be super clear who the podcast is for.

I want you to take a little bit of time here and do a little bit of an exercise.

Think of your avatar for your business. Who would you want to listen to your podcast? Who's your target listener?

What does it look like? (your avatar) What will they be doing when they're listening? Why will they be listening? What interest do they have in your company or your products and service?

Remember here, not only current clients and customers and potential clients and customers will be listening. People who may want to work for you will listen. People who might want to partner with you will also listen and get a great sense of the business and its culture from the podcast.

Remember, people listening are getting a real intimate experience.

You are directly in their ears.

Don't forget competitors are listening too and have a look at what's already out there.

How Can Your Business Benefit From A Podcast?

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, July 2, 2024 • Duration 05:10

What are the business benefits of Podcasting?

Podcasts offer a great way for businesses to reach people in their target market with content that can help improve their brand awareness, recall and reputation.

Aligned with Brand Goals a Podcast should be on your radar.

Podcasts are popular, podcasts are getting more popular.

Your business could stand out from your competitors if you have a Podcast!

But who could your podcast be for?

Know your audience and ensure the content is what they need!

Here are some examples:

To your team:

The podcast has a real advantage for salespeople who are constantly on the go…. they are a vehicle (a lot) they can listen to updated company information and stay in the loop about changes that are occurring in the business AND listen to what their customers/clients are being sent via email by way of newsletters or on social media.

No-one need to miss an update! Your team can listen to any company news they have missed at a time convenient to them.

Internal information can be transferred by way of a monthly podcast, just record, edit and send via email or invest in a dedicated company app or add it to your current intranet - your teams can listen, when or where they want too! You could even add 15mins to their own time off to listen??

Your Podcast can also be used for your current clients…

Your emailing list is a great marketing tool – why not update your Newsletter into a Podcast? That way your clients can listen to what you are sending them (or have a choice of whether to listen or read) on a monthly basis, people do multi-task when listening to Podcasts, but you can’t when you’re reading Newsletter or watching a video!

Your podcast can attract new clients…

What Is A Podcast?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, July 1, 2024 • Duration 05:53

What is a Podcast?

In this episode we look at what exactly IS a Podcast and where did they come from?

SIMPLY …A Podcast is really just a recorded audio file, edited into a listenable package for you to listen to.

You can download and listen to episodes or little clips of interviews, stories, which are now episodes in people's podcasts.

Where did the name come from:

While podcasting has been around for a long-time they were audio-blogs in the 80s and remarkably, the term itself, has only been around since 2004. The word “Podcast” is mix of “iPod” and “broadcast”.

The earliest use of “podcasting” was traced to The Guardian columnist and BBC journalist Ben Hammersley, who invented it in early February 2004 while writing an article for The Guardian newspaper”.

Podcasts are basically like online radio shows that can be downloaded, subscribed to, emailed to clients and re-purposed in numerous ways for your social media platforms.

When used effectively they can be a powerful marketing tool for any business. They are now very much part of Digital Marketing Strategies.

Potential clients/customers are looking for you through search engines, with key word searches, via directories and they’re watching your social media and not only that .. you can engage current clients by changing your monthly newsletter or any update you want to email out… into a monthly podcast!

A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to subscribe to, or download.

Search online and you’ll find a range of Podcasts available on nearly every topic imaginable. They range from business, entertainment, education and everywhere in between (you could create a Podcast of your training!).

A podcast can be used in a few ways: as a simple download that you can use on your website, social media or to directly emailed to your mailing list, or it can be subscribed to, and then new content is automatically delivered to the subscriber if you have hosted your podcast on one of numerous platforms out there (Spotify & Apple for example). Subscribing is usually FREE!

The Introduction!

Season 1 · Episode 1

Sunday, June 30, 2024 • Duration 04:02

Podcasts are growing massively (and show no sign of declining at the time of recording) and lots of business are jumping on the bandwagon because they recognise the importance of having a podcast.

Podcasting is now a huge opportunity for businesses to build awareness B2B and B2C unlike TV or Radio this internet based media is an excellent way to deliver specific and expert content, relevant to your target audience.

Do you remember 20 years ago, when people used to say, do you have a website for your business?

And you'd say, do I need a website for my business?

Eight years ago, people were saying, do I need a Facebook page for my business?

Add to that twitter, Instagram, tik tok.. choose the Platform YOUR Business is on and I guarantee at one point you said “ I don’t need a “insert platform” for business, at one point? DID YOU?

Now people are asking, do I need a podcast for my business?

Well, I'm here to tell you, YES I think you do,

And this Podcast will explore the what, why, and how to podcast for your business and indeed what you can use your Podcast for once you have one!

A bit about me. I'm Kath Lord-Green (Your Fairy Podmother) I've been making “podcasts” long before there was such a thing as a podcast. I was a news correspondent for many years, making radio packages to go on news shows. I've been a radio presenter. I presented business, farming, health, and wellbeing shows

All those shows were live, I then edited them, packaged them up and put them on an audio file for listen again purposes ……. that’s podcasting.

So yes, I can definitely make a podcast!

I'm an entrepreneur. I'm an award winning businesswoman and I know the importance of podcasting for business.

Let me take you on that journey in a simple, easy format.
