We lost Dan Miller a few weeks ago, and Dan was someone who I always walked about smarter after talking to him. I had him on the first episode of the Grow Your Community show, and today I'm replaying that episode. I also learned that Lee Silversteen who appeared on episode 539 has run out of options in regards to battling his cancer. So this episode is a bit "dark" but, well, sometimes life is dark... The question of the month returns next week. Join the School of Podcasting Community Risk-Free Are you looking to start your own podcast but don't know where to begin?

About Dan Miller Dan is the author of the books 48 Days to the Work (and life) You Love, No More Dreaded Mondays, Wisdom Meets Passion, and more (check out his author page at Amazon). His podcast is always bursting with common sense and insights that are often missing in today's business leaders. Dan speaks the truth based on his decades of helping entrepreneurs meet their goals. About Lee Silverstein Lee Silverstein was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 13 years ago. He started the podcast he needed to hear when the doctor said, "You have cancer." He has inspired MULTIPLE podcasts, and his legacy will live on long after Lee. From his Facebook page, Lee recently posted: I feel it’s time to make this official. After close to 13 years there are no more treatment options available to me.  I have begun in-home hospice service. I’m quite comfortable and not in any pain. I have far outlived any oncologist’s predictions and I'm grateful for that. I’m at peace and have no regrets. You give a podcast to a teach and they see it as a tool to help people learn. You give a podcast to a marketer and they see it as a too tool to sell. You give a podcast to a guy with stage 4 colon cancer, and he sees it as a tool to inspire. (and he did).

Today I share parts of a conversation I had, but as I'm saying my negative opinion of a certain practice, I'm not saying the company, and I've replaced the actual guest with an AI-Generated voice (from 11 labs). If you plan on paying for a service to promote your show, this is a MUST LISTEN. We also talk about Apple evaporating your downloads is a GOOD thing. Again, the voice you hear as the "Guest" is AI generated from a transcript of the conversation.

Today I share a story where I took information I was going to publish as an episode, but put it out as a newsletter instead as I was worried it would make me look Salesy. Today I share how I found out that message really resonated with my audience, and now I'm using it here.  I also share how getting a GOOD coach can save you TONS of time and HEADACHES and that is often WAY MORE than the price you are paying. YOU: Avoid common mistakes Learn the shortcuts you only learn from doing If you're in a community, you get to network with or creators All of the above can lead to less stress, and more production.  Join the School of Podcasting Community Risk-Free Are you looking to start your own podcast but don't know where to begin?

The goal of this episode is to help you understand what makes a GOOD podcast, and help you decide if you should also be a video podcast.  As it's the beginning of the year, MANY people will be selling you on how you can quit your job with no effort, no work, and how easy it is to leave the 9 to 5. They rave at how much money you will make, after all, they are on a boat! And you will do it quickly. I just can't do that. I want people who are fueled by passion, and understand there is a process of  Plan Launch Grow Monetize So today we are going to first look at what makes a GOOD podcast, and then what is going on with the Podcasting space with places like YouTube and Spotify.  Join the School of Podcasting Community Risk-Free Are you looking to start your own podcast but don't know where to begin?

Making a Good Podcast Make sure you are doing two or more of the following: Laugh Cry Think Groan Educate Entertain If you do NONE of these you are boring your audience. Some other items I mentioned today: Relevence - When it comes to good content another key ingredient is relevance. When I heard the phrase ‘overwhelm” at a podcast conference FOUR TIMES I created episode 871 Overcoming Podcast Overwhelm: Three Free Tools and a Strategy. Authenticity - Be yourself. Authenticity builds a connection with your audience. Don't be afraid to show personality and vulnerability. Don’t let Chat GPT wash your personality out of your show. Storytelling - We love a good story. How can you make your show more entertaining? Tell a good story. Research - State your sources when available. We want people to trust us, and when we show the work we put into the show, it can help the listener trust what they are hearing. Rehearsal: Practice makes perfect. Rehearse your content to iron out any kinks and ensure smooth delivery. Timeliness: Stay current. If your podcast covers time-sensitive topics, make sure to provide up-to-date information. This is one of those, "it depends" topics. Bert Weiss Boils Podcasting Down to Two Items In the Book Listenable: The Content and Delivery System to Set Your Podcast Apart Bert Wiess (Hey Bert! Call me. I want to interview you) boils it down to this: A podcast is made up of two things: Content Delivery One without the other will not work.

One Thing About Ratings and Reviews In Apple Podcasts (they don't help you in the algorithm). Per Apple: What the Apple charts measure: Apple Podcasts Charts reflect the most popular shows and episodes available in a given market and are designed to help people discover what to listen to next. They do not reflect all-time listening records and are not a measure of the largest podcasts by listenership. While the exact algorithm cannot be shared to protect their integrity, the charts measure a mix of the following: Listening: When listeners are engaging with episodes, it’s an indicator of content popularity. Follows: When listeners follow a show to receive new episodes, it’s an indicator of their intent to listen. Completion Rate: When listeners complete episodes, it’s an indicator of content quality. Ratings, reviews, and shares Although ratings, reviews, and shares also help indicate a podcast’s newness, popularity, and quality, they are not factored into the algorithm that determines the rankings for Top Shows and Top Episodes. In other words, they may not help people find a podcast on their own, but they influence whether people will listen or follow, and those factors influence the charts.

I read an article by Leslie Thompson titled, A reflection on 5 years of podcasting, and it really moved me. It points out that even if you end up ceasing to produce your podcast, the time is not waste. It may feel that way, but Leslie shares how her time on the Rogue Ones podcast was not a wate of time and she has used her skills in other projects including her now show Niche to Meet You.  Join the School of Podcasting Community Risk-Free Are you looking to start your own podcast but don't know where to begin?
