Adjusting Attitudes: Harnessing Persistence for Podcasting Success


Today, I dive into the essence of keeping a positive and persistent approach to podcasting. I play guitar, and one of the reasons I'm pretty good is my attitude when learning to play. Share how you can do the same in podcasting. This gets you further than launching and keeps you going.

We'll discuss not just experiencing moments but capturing them, ponder the durability of PC v.s. laptop usage, and give you the inside scoop from the Content Entrepreneur Expo with actionable tips on audience retention shared by our very own Dave at the expo.

How long does it take to grow your podcast audience?


This show is brought to you by the School of Podcasting

Today we talk about realistic growth of a podcast audience. I've always said the formula is 

Value in Episode X Smart Promotion = Downloads

A recent episode of the Grow Your Show podcast mentioned we might want to mention audience size (social, email list, etc). 

Spending money on ads is a strategy, but it relies on many different aspects to have success so you may not strike gold on your first try

Balancing Passion and Logic in Podcasting: Strategies for Success


Today, Dave and Jim start off by looking at the motivational forces of a podcaster. "I think you need to be about 55% passion so that you have enough, "I MUST do this, and 45% logic helps you then steer it in the right direction." You need both for success.

Also, maybe NOT start a podcast.
