Growing Your Audience Episodes

Dave is using a Ground-Loop Isolator Dave got a free subscription to Website Magazine. They have some interesting articles on blogging for money, website promotion and more. The best thing is you can read it online, or have it deleivered free to your door. To get your subscription go to www.schoolofpodcasting....

Dave continues on with a few other mistakes that Podcasters may be making: 1. SHOW ME THE MONEY- The person who doesn't even have a podcast topic, but knows he can sell it. Get your audience first, then monetize it. Paul Colligan has a great book - The Business Podcasting Bible - about it. 2. Not reporting their music to the Podsage Music Network. I have a brand new show I'm testing. I've told one other person, and the musician that I played. I ended up with 5 listens. Keep in mind that a musi...

Dave talks about some common podcasting mistakes these include: Making your first impression by apologizing for not putting out a show. Remember there are lots of new listeners on the way (so why not do this at the end if you need to). People assume that people have heard Part 1 of an interview so they (literally) start the podcast with some opening music, and then (with no setup) go right back to the interview (so a new listener has no clue what they've walked in on). Volume on conference ca...

Dave went back to colllege this week (but is still completely available to help new podcasters). He had a very difficult time getting bookmarks for his books. When he found one, he was amazed at how many times a day he viewed this bookmark. He did some research and found that you can have full color bookmarks create 500 bookmarks for 60.00 (see psprint.com ) or 1000 bookmarks for 94.00 (see brochures.com ) and if your target audience is college students - then I feel this is a decent form of pro...

Dave talks about how easy it is (and free) to cross promote your podcast. This is helped by networking with other podcasters who have similar podcasts. I play a quick promo I did for the Daily Source Code, I then turned around and used the same set up and ending and substituted a personalized greeting for each podcaster. It worked. While cross promotion may not get you 100 listeners overnight, it will help with your branding online. Thanks to Heather Vale of Success Unwrapped for our intro. Che...
