Podcasting for Entrepreneurs with Anna Parker-Naples – Details, episodes & analysis

If you've been listening to this show for a while, you’ll be aware that I have taken an unexpected break. Over the past few months, I’ve taken a lot of family time, as well as a lot of travel time for business. So today I wanted to talk you through what I’ve realised during this break from Podcasting for Entrepreneurs, and what we're planning to do going forward. 

What You’ll Learn: 

• The initial goal of launching Podcasting for Entrepreneurs
• What we’ve achieved with this show so far
• How my message evolved and what my new show, Positively Influential, is about
• The next steps you can take if you are serious about podcasting

As entrepreneurs, it's important that from time to time we stop, take stock, evaluate, and course correct if need be. The result of this process for me is that I feel that the work on this show is done for now, and I’m going to focus on my new show. For you to take your podcasting journey on the next level, check out some of the numerous resources below or stay in touch on social media.

When you get serious about launching your podcast, you might ask whether you should script your episodes. Today, I'm going to let you into my reasoning behind why I don't believe that it's a good idea. 

What You’ll Learn:

• What limitation you impose on yourself if you script out your episodes and how it affects the listener
• What kind of structure you need to have in order to combat a panic of having a microphone in front of you 
• Why it’s a good idea to bring at least one story to the table in your show

Your podcast can become a very powerful front end of your business. After all, business is personal and we choose to spend money with people that we know, like and trust. What we don't trust is someone who doesn't trust their own words, their own knowledge and ability. Allow yourself to share and be real and honest, because that is what makes a podcast valuable for your listener.

When we're interviewing someone, we need to think about what it is that the listener wants from that experience, and what it is that the interviewee wants to get from the experience. Today I’ll share a few tips on how to be a better interviewer. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- What the listeners are hoping for when they are listening to an interview

- What your job as the interviewer is

- What kind of moments the listener loves to hear in an interview

- How to achieve an engaged conversation

Your job as the interviewer is to break the natural performance state of your interviewee and to get beneath the surface and generic answers that they're doing on everybody else's podcast.  Your goal is to have a memorable conversation.

One of the issues that comes up for my clients, when they come on for a podcast audit, is should they relaunch their show on the same feed and give it a bit of a refresh, or should they start a new show? My intention with this episode is not to give you the answer, but to think about the pros and cons, and potentially the real consequences if you don't get this strategy right.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Look at the show you’ve hosted from an outsider's perspective 

- How to reassess your initial podcast message 

- What you can read from numbers and statistics of your show

- What listener experience you should think about

- Don’t take the old show down from the platforms until your other show is up and running

- Does your podcast speak now to the people that you're trying to reach?

Podcasting is a vehicle to drive your message to people that you can help with your knowledge and with your expertise, but not if you've switched off from it and if you're no longer reaching the right people.

If you feel like you're ready to recommit to your podcast, get in touch with me on Instagram @annaparkernaples and ask about our audit service by typing the word “audit” in DMs. Alternatively, if you're ready to figure out how to do this for yourself, check out The Podcast Growth Accelerator at www.annapn.co/growth.

Are you making sure that what you're doing on your podcast is totally legal and aboveboard? This episode will help you feel much more secure in what you're doing and understand the do's and the don'ts from the legal point of view of podcasting.
