How to Survey Your Audience for Feedback & Content Ideas01 Nov 202200:37:28

Send Krystal a Text Message.

Are you doing a good job with your content? How do you know? Unless you get feedback from members of your audience, you could be creating content in a void -- never knowing what you could be doing better.

In today's episode, I'm walking you through four simple ways you can survey your audience and get feedback on your content. We're covering how to survey your community through:

  1. Email
  2. Youtube
  3. Social Media
  4. Google Forms

There are simple ways of surveying your audience, which I believe you should do regularly. And then, there are formal surveys you should send to your audience at least 2-3 times per year.

If you're new to asking or receiving feedback on your content, this episode will be the motivation you need to start implementing these simple processes today.

Do you feel like you're wasting hours each week creating your content? Four specific tasks were the ultimate time wasters when I look back over my content creation journey.

"I swear we've covered this topic before. Why can't I find it?" This is the question I asked 20 minutes before I started recording today's episode. Because I knew we'd covered this topic, but I couldn't locate where.

Then, it occurred to me. We've only discussed "timely vs. evergreen" when creating content for your audience. Not when it comes to creating content.

Today's episode is a mix of recapping what we've covered on the show (and linking to those episodes in the show notes) and sharing with you what I left out of earlier episodes.

This particular episode is for you if you've heard the words timely and evergreen and have no clue what that is. And if you need a refresher on the pros and cons of these formats, you'll also learn a thing or two.

"How do you focus on selling just one product in your content without your audience getting sick of hearing the same thing over and over?" I've heard every version of this question -- multiple times -- over the last four years.

This question from the community sparked a great idea I had about covering more of the basic principles of marketing and advertising on this podcast. After listening to this episode, I hope you feel more comfortable making calls to action in your content.

So, get ready to take notes. Pull up a seat, grab your favorite beverage, and take notes on how to sell your first (or next) product inside your content.

“...many different ways that you can do social media... there's not one way that you approach it that's the “right way” to do it...” This was the start of a social media conversation during a coaching call.

In today's coaching call, I'm chatting with Monique Simmons, host of the DEMO with No Podcast, about social media strategies, podcast websites, and more.

While strategies are good to follow (even the ones we offer here), you have to apply them to your content in an objective way. In other words, not to blindly follow someone's strategy just because they said it'll work.

Listen in as we talk about social media themes and what Monique has explored when it comes to strategies you can try for your own content.

Unleashing Creator Potential through Genuine Partnerships09 Jul 202400:28:25

Send Krystal a Text Message.

What if a single conversation could revolutionize your approach to sponsorships? Join me and Justin Moore, my sponsorship coach, as he shares a groundbreaking announcement—the launch of his Sponsorship Strategies Summit. This unforgettable episode was recorded at ConvertKit's breathtaking new podcast studio. (Stay tuned for the YouTube version of our convo!)

Together, we unpack the transformative power of sponsorships for creators and discuss Justin's visionary plan to connect creators and sponsors through a dedicated conference. Picture an "anti-conference" designed to empower creators and foster genuine connections. 

We explore the concept of attendees walking away with completed media kits and personalized sponsor positioning while participating in a Shark Tank-style pitch session that could secure real sponsorships. We also reflect on the value of overcoming self-doubt and making bold asks, highlighting how intimate gatherings can be more impactful than large, impersonal conferences. 

Drawing from our own experiences, we share insights into creating supportive environments for creators of all sizes. Our practical advice on leveraging local opportunities and building meaningful partnerships will help you unlock the full potential of your business's reach. Hear diverse client stories, like a helicopter pilot from "Deadliest Catch," that underscores the universal struggle of self-doubt among creators. 

We also emphasize the importance of quality over quantity in sponsorships and the benefits of in-person interviews for fostering natural, well-rounded dialogue. Don't miss Justin's "Brand Deal Wizard" course, which offers invaluable tips for monetizing content. If you're near Boise, check out ConvertKit's new podcast studios.

How to Handle Self-Promotion in an Interview31 May 202200:28:59

Send Krystal a Text Message.

"How many times should you, or a guest on your podcast, mention their podcast during the interview?" This question from the community is what we are answering in today's episode.

One of the things I love about having a YouTube channel is the comment section. There are flattering comments, ridiculous rants, and helpful questions in the comments. Today's episode is based solely on one comment I received from an audience member.

It's one of those "If one person has this question, I bet 20 more people do too" questions. We're talking about how much you should talk about what you do in content interviews. 

If you've had "guest on more podcasts" or "get in front of a bigger audience" on your to-do list, this episode will help you balance how much you need to plug yourself and where to find the balance between too much and not enough.

If you had told me ten years ago that my obsession with movies like Billy Madison, Old School, and Mean Girls would be the foundation for a podcast episode one day, I would've called you a big fat liar!

Well, it is true. Today, I'm sharing with you what I've learned from some of the best content creators of my youth -- and we're using the term "content creators" loosely here to describe comedians and students of comedy that I've idolized over the years. 

In this episode, I'm sharing seven things I've learned from comedians about content creation that you can use in your content -- even if your topic is serious and no joking matter.

Plus, you'll get to hear more of the roots of why I am who I am -- thanks for playing Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck" tapes on repeat, Dad!

"I had to take a break from my content and I'm not sure how I can get back to the consistent routine I had before." I hear this very often from content creators.

Today's episode is a clip from a live stream where we had a question from Leah about how to get back into your content and start publishing on a regular basis again.

In this clip, you'll hear what I'd suggest if I were coming back from a break in my content and how I'd approach the "right way" to come back. (PS, there is no "right way" to come back.)

I'm also explaining how I repurposed my live stream to create this podcast episode today so you can replicate the process.

Send Krystal a Text Message.

Ever wonder what happens when you gather the brightest minds in content creation under one roof? Join me as I recap part one of the magic of my second annual experience of ConvertKit's Craft and Commerce event, a gathering that inspired and transformed me. 

From the major announcement of ConvertKit's rebranding to 'Kit' to my journey rebranding as a 'content therapist,' this episode bursts with exhilarating moments and invaluable insights. (Plus, I spill the beans on my unique conference note-taking method, resulting in a massive 221-page Google Doc packed with screenshots and wisdom.)

Prepare to be motivated by industry leaders like Jen Olmsted and Nathan Barry. Jen's captivating talk, "Don't be the best, be the only," sparked a rethink of my coaching strategy, while Nathan's revelations on audience engagement were genuinely eye-opening. 

I also had an exciting visit to the newly launched Kit Podcast Studios in Boise, Idaho, and I'm thrilled to share the incredible opportunities it offers for creators like you. Dive into the afternoon keynotes from Xayli Barclay, Chennel Basilio, and John Youshei, who shared actionable strategies on leveraging AI, mastering the art of asking, and adapting successful content strategies to elevate your social media game.

We also explore the art of repurposing and reusing content inspired by none other than Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé. Initially skeptical, I discovered the immense value in innovating and adapting existing material to reach a broader audience more effectively.

Balancing authenticity and creativity, I introduce the concept of a "virality meter," inspired by Codi Sanchez, to help gauge your content's potential impact. So, strap in and get ready to embrace creativity, take calculated risks, and remember—every epic journey starts with a single step.

We're bringing back a popular segment, "Questions from the Community". And today's question comes in the form of an audio clip submitted by Jean in our podcast community.

In today's episode, we're listening to Jean's question about audience engagement and then diving deeper into the solutions I'd offer to anyone wanting to have a more engaged audience.

We're also covering how Jean submitted her "call-in" style question for anyone else that wants to have their question played on The Proffitt Podcast. (I'd love to do more episodes like this, so please submit your questions ASAP!)

One last thought for those of you wanting to get your audience more engaged with your content: don't stop trying. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out how to meet my audience where they were -- and it was worth every ounce of effort.
