Day #19 - Missed Opportunities
30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge
11/19/19 • 14 min
One of the top qualities you can have as a podcast host is approachability. When listeners think you're relatable and they'd have an easy time saying hello if they ever see you out, you will be very attractive to them.
You can help your approachability by talking about topics and sharing stories that listeners can relate to. And one of the types of stories we can all relate to is that of a "missed opportunity."
You have a missed opportunity story – you're thinking about it now.
On this episode of the 30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge, I talk about my own missed opportunity related to radio and podcasting and give you a formula for sharing your own missed opportunity story that will instantly improve your connection with listeners.

A Big Opportunity For Your Podcast
30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge
03/19/20 • 11 min
It seems the whole world is on "lockdown" right now due to COVID-19 fears. But on a positive side, podcasters have an opportunity to help this situation.
The CDC site is where to get accurate COVID-19 info. Take memes and other info you get via social media or Donald Trump with skepticism. Listen to people who know – scientists and doctors.

How To Screw Up Your Podcast Audio Quality
30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge
03/03/20 • 10 min
I finally (!!!) finished recording and editing the audiobook version of Big Podcast – Grow Your Podcast Audience, Build Listener Loyalty, and Get Everybody Talking About Your Show.
Then I ran into an issue...
Because I was punching in and editing some of the pauses, some of the "breathing noise" got chopped. And that sounds weird.
I knew it might be an issue, and it probably wouldn't have been a big deal had this been a book for people with a "normal" understanding of audio. But you're a podcaster and you have a more advanced ear.
So I've got a little bit more work to do on this...
I thought I might be crazy, so I sent a clip to Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting to get his opinion. He sent back the clip after running it through a "debreath" plugin, which did get rid of the breathing sounds, but took a little too much out.
In this episode, I play "before" and "after" clips and let you judge for yourself.
LESSON LEARNED: You can only do so much with your audio once it's on tape, so make sure you get something great on tape. Don't rely on automation of fixing things after the fact, because you may not have what you need to work with.

Day #18 - How To Let Listeners Know What You Want (And How To Pay You)
30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge
12/18/19 • 8 min
You can't assume listeners know what you do or what you want from them. Because of this, it's a good idea to embed certain things into the stories you tell on your podcast. When you do this, you'll not only educate listeners and get them more engaged with your podcast, you'll also attract more (and better) clients for yourself and the business behind your podcast.
That's what this episode of the 30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge is about.

Day #21 - The First Step (How To Get Started)
30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge
12/21/19 • 5 min
They will never contact you or interact with the community you've built around your podcast.
They aren't taking action on what you talk about.
When it comes to #2, a big reason for this is listeners don't know how to take action. Most don't know what you want them to do and those who do know have no idea where to start – they're overwhelmed with options.
You can solve these issues by being clear with listeners about what you want them to do and how you want them to do it. And that's the subject of this episode of The 30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge.

Day #27 - How To Build Your Reputation Via Your Podcast
30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge
11/27/19 • 12 min
Most stories in the media, at least when it comes to celebrities, don't just happen. When you see somebody "famous" getting positive coverage on big media, there's a good chance it happened because a publicist (or even the person himself) asked for it.
When it comes to getting attention for yourself, your podcast, and the business behind your podcast, you need to let people know the kind of attention you want.
The same is true for your reputation. A good reputation doesn't just happen – you have to let people know the type of reputation you want, then act accordingly.
What do you want your listeners to know about you? How can you let podcast listeners know these things within the podcasts you're doing? That's the subject of this episode.

Day #26 - Your Toolkit
30-Day Solo Podcast Challenge
11/26/19 • 9 min
Listeners are attached to you. Because of this, they love "behind-the-scenes" info. One of the best ways to ease into this and provide something of value that's related to your podcast topic is to share the tools you use to do your job (related to your topic) and your work process.
The tools I used to make this podcast episode:
Something that I didn't mention, but was also used in the creation of this episode is Auphonic, which is post-production software that touches up your raw audio to make it sound better.

Yesterday, we talked about how to use jargon in podcasting. Today's episode builds on that as far as clarifying things for listeners...
