Fixing a Mistake in Your Podcast Episode

My last episode had a typo, and a mistake in the audio ( I said the deadline for June's question of the month was in February). Today we're going to talk about how to fix things when you make a mistake in your podcast.

SPONSOR: Focusrite

How to Fix a Mistake In Your Podcast

You publish an episode, and you're listening back to it in Apple Podcasts and then OH NO! You hear a mistake. What do you do?

Go back to the software you used to create the file and fix the mistake (re-record, eliminate silence, whatever the mistake was).

Then export the file using the exact same file name as the original.

Then replace the file on your media host (video below).

How to Fix A Typo in Your Podcast Show Notes

To fix a typo go to whatever tool you use to create your feed and remove the typo and save your changes. It will take up to 24 hours for the update to appear in the Apps.

What Happens if You Upload a Repaired Episode with a Different File Name?

If you upload your new "updated" file with a different file name, it will take up to 24 hours for Apple (and other apps) to update to see the new file (which means it won't work in the app).

Learn from Your Mistakes

Once you fix your mistake, don't just move on. Take a second and assess why this happened? Is there anything you can do to avoid this in the future.

I always listen to the episode (speeded up) before publishing it. Every time I don't - those are the episodes with the issues.

Do you have too much on your plate?

Are you trying to hit a self-inflicted deadline that may not be super important to your audience?

We all make mistakes, but smart people learn from their mistakes. REALLY SMART people learn from other people's mistakes.

Because of My Podcast - I Got to Meet Gary V

23:05 I've said in the past your podcast is not your business, but it can be your business card. Today Mike Simmons from Just Start Real Estate podcast explains how his podcast lead to him meeting Gary Vaynerchuck.

If you have a "Because of my podcast " story, I'd love to hear it.

Question of the Month

25:11 What guest would you LOVE to get on your show? (and Why).

Go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/question to answer by June 26th.

Don't forget to mention your show, and where we can find it (website).

The Truth About Transcripts

25:43 I've been saying that Transcripts are not the best solution for "show notes" as we don't talk like we write and we don't write like we talk. Yet some people preach how "more words equals more visitors." I was listening to the Marketing School show and Neil Patel (a SERIOUS SEO GURU) and Eric Siu (Major Marketer) explained how they paid to have really good transcriptions and it didn't do anything for their show. It's better to take the transcripts and work them into a blog.

ID3 TAGS and SEO?

27:23 ID3 tags are stored inside your mp3 file. People keep obsessing over them and the reason I've heard is they feel it affects their SEO. While apps are transcribing the content of the show for better search, to the best of my knowledge they are not looking at ID3 tags.

ID3 tags are only used if someone pulls a file out of the feed (for example they download your episode off your website and listen on their computer. ID3 tags used to have a much more significant place in podcasting, but this has diminished over the years. However, I still add ID3 tags to my files as it takes all of 10 seconds.

My Take on Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan got $100 Million. Good for Joe?

Joe is a content creator, and technically he's not a podcaster anymore (but the audience thinks he is...)

The big takeaway is Joe proved that GOOD content is valuable.

The Power of a Might Network

Question of the Month: Focus Groups

01:43 Currently, I'm obsessed with focus groups. Why? Because every time I hear someone talking about growing their audience the absolute last thing they mention is their content. So I asked my audience if they had ever used a focus group and Max from Avaiant News talk and Sharon from God's Women both share how they had got some feedback and both feel they benefitted from it.

Recently I did some market research that had me way out of my comfort zone but the information I received was worth the discomfort.

06:02 We All Benefit from Constructive Feedback

Facebook Vs Mighty Networks

On a previous episode, the hosts of the Wealth Without Wall Street were interviewed and mentioned how they had grown their overall revenue by 300%. One of its key ingredients was a Mighty Network. When I looked into this tool, I found it to be the swiss army knife of building communities (and if you want it - revenue). With Facebook losing15 million in the last two years source and trust getting lower and lower why not move a separate mobile-friendly location where YOU are in control of your community.

Jessica Shamora is the Head of Brand and Growth at Mighty Networks and came to answer my questions:

Jessica Shambora and talk about Mighty Networks and how you can use them to build community. We talk about why a Mighty Network is better than Facebook and more (see chapter markers for more details).

Full Time Podcaster Daryl Grove of the Total Soccer Show

While many podcasters create content as a hobby, today we talk with Daryl Grove (who along with his cohost Taylor Rockwell) create the Toal Soccer Show. Today we talk with Daryl to go over how they make their show, how they interact with their audience, and how they developed the relationships with advertisers and their private membership.

01:35 Why is This Good?

I came across the trailer of the show Once upon a Gene and was floored by the emotions that bubbled up to the service. It makes you laugh, cry, and think. The vulnerability of the host sharing her thoughts sucks you in. Her courage to share her disappointments, I found it amazing. Check out the show at effieparks.com

38:03 Question of the Month

My Main Takeaways

Here again, we hear how Karen has a clear idea of WHO she is talking to and trying to reach. 

LinkedIn is not magic, but it helps you build relationships. Relationships can be magic

Don't just contact people and connect to make your numbers grow. You should have a plan. Start a conversation. 

Do your homework and know who you are contacting so that first impression is a little warmer.

Question of the Month

I'm becoming obsessed with focus groups thanks to watching the TV Show The Profit on CNBC. I see people who are starting to market their show (or wonder why it may not be growing as fast as they want) and it always appears there has been a lack of honest feedback from people you feed would enjoy your show (your target audience). For May the question is again somewhat open-ended. The topic? Focus groups. Did you assemble any feedback? Would you be interested in getting feedback on your show? If you were to start one, do you have any ideas or insights?
