Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And this week, we’re going to focus on running a listener survey. When we’re trying to grow our podcast audience, it’s easy to go chasing after new listeners. But one of the best approaches is simply to look after the folks who’re already listening. If you do that, your numbers will grow by default. Think about it. You’re already creating content that people like. They choose to listen to you already. So asking them for some info and opinions can be like mining gold. Your existing fans are your biggest marketers. So make them feel valued, and heard. You’ll get some great new content ideas, opportunities to tighten up your content, and a clearer idea of how people find you and what keeps them listening. On tomorrow’s episode of Pocket-Sized Podcasting, we’ll look at some tools for hosting your survey.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about writing a guest post. A popular way to promote your podcast is to do a guest post on a site with a similar target audience. With a guest post, you're creating insightful and helpful content for their readers, and in turn, are able to link back to your own content. So, have a think about some sites that create good content in your niche. What topics do they cover? And how might you be uniquely placed to write something useful and interesting for their readers? A lot of websites have guidelines around guest posts, but if not, they’ll at least have a contact page. Remember, make your pitch all about *them* and their audience. This is all about delivering value. You’ll get your link back, and you’ll get to mention your show, but that isn’t something you want to lead with. Thanks for listening to Pocket-Sized Podcasting.

Pocket-Sized Podcasting With Alitu - Car Bumper Stickers

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about bumper stickers. A bumper sticker on the back of your car might not seem like it’s doing much. But imagine how many different people end up seeing it over the weeks, months, and years. Sure, a lot of them won’t be your target audience. But some will. And, aside from creating your sticker and slapping it on, this is a completely effortless way of promoting your podcast. Your sticker’s design will depend a lot on your show’s name. If it’s an obvious name, like “The Organic Gardener Podcast”, then it speaks for itself. If you’ve got a more obscure name, though, then you might need to get innovative with your design in order to temp anyone to check it out. The downside of this, of course, is when you cut someone off, they know exactly who you are. So drive safely out there. Thanks for listening to Pocket-Sized Podcasting.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about creating a ‘Contact’ page on your podcast website. Every podcaster likes listener feedback, but almost every podcaster feels they rarely if ever hear from anyone. In a lot of cases, this is simply because they’ve not made it easy enough. So instead of reading out your email address, twitter handle, and Facebook page out in your Call to Actions, just send them to yourwebsite dot com slash contact to find every way they can connect with you. You might use a contact form or survey software to better structure and organise your feedback. You could even embed a voice feedback widget from a tool like Telbee or Speakpipe here. This lets you easily collect voice questions and comments that you can use on future episodes, too. For a deeper dive on this topic, head on over to http://thepodcasthost.com/websitetips

Pocket-Sized Podcasting With Alitu - Help Crowdfund Another Podcast

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about helping to crowdfund another podcast. If there’s one thing 99% of podcasts have in common, it’s in asking their listeners for financial support. Commonly, this is done through crowdfunding platforms like Patreon. And in exchange for supporting them, many shows will offer reward tiers that can help promote the work of the patron. If you have some disposable cash to spare, there are worse ways to spend it. You’re helping to support a fellow creative, and have the opportunity to grow your own show in exchange. So what are your favourite podcasts in your niche? Do they ask for any kind of financial support? And if so, do they offer any rewards? This could be things like; 1. Putting a link to your website on their own site 2. Mentioning you on their show 3. Playing your trailer on their show This is yet another win-win situation for all involved. Thanks for listening to Pocket-Sized Podcasting.

Pocket-Sized Podcasting With Alitu - What Should I Drink Before or During Recording?

What Should I Drink Before or During Recording?

11/15/23 • 1 min

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about what you should drink before or during recording. Getting behind the mic whilst dehydrated is a bad idea for a couple of reasons. Firstly, you’re just going to have less energy and feel a bit groggy. Secondly, you’re going to make more dry lip-smacking mouth noises that’ll have your listener reaching for the ‘unsubscribe’ button. So be sure to have some water before and during your session. Don’t go overboard, though, as over-hydration can lead to excessive mouth noises, too. Plus, There’s nothing worse than needing a pee ten minutes into an engaging interview. For some podcasters, coffee is their superpower. For others, it can really dry out their mouths. Only you’ll know best what camp you fall into here. In summary, though, a moderate amount of water before and during recording works best for the vast majority of podcasters.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about magnets. Magnets - like stickers - can be wee adverts for your podcast. They’re more tolerated than stickers, too, because they can be easily removed. This means that curious listeners sometimes take them home. We know where all magnets end up in the home, too. Don’t underestimate the power of getting your logo onto someone’s fridge. They’ll see it every single day for years. So will their family, housemates, or anyone who comes to visit. Magnets also make for great freebies at events or conferences, or as rewards for reviews or crowdfunding support. As they’re usually small, light, and flat, they don’t cost too much to post out anywhere around the world. These are quite literally “fan magnets”, and no podcaster should be without them.

Pocket-Sized Podcasting With Alitu - Roadside Promotion

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about roadside promotion. This might be anything from a banner draped on a flyover, to a big sign in a field. Basically, a message that promotes your podcast which will be seen by thousands of people each day. It should go without saying, but please don’t do anything stupid, dangerous, or illegal here. Roads are deadly places, so never put yours or anyone else’s life at risk with a strategy like this. Of course, you could go the official route here, and hire a billboard. But I don’t imagine that comes cheaply, no matter where you are in the world. I see a lot of roadside marketing here in Scotland, usually by some mad farmer. It’d be nice to drive past a few innovative podcast ads, slogans, or messages in the future.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about QR Codes. The humble “Quick Response” code rose to prominence during the pandemic. Very few people don’t know what they are, now. If you don’t, though, a QR Code is a unique symbol that your smartphone's camera can read and translate into a web address. They look like wee black and white chequered squares. You can add QR codes to business cards, stickers and other merch, and they’ll take people directly to your podcast website. You see bands or musicians using this a lot on their stickers, or buskers on their signage. I’ve even heard of people getting QR Code tattoos. That’s possibly the most extreme example of this strategy though, and for most folks, a wee card, sticker, or magnet will do. Thanks for listening to Pocket-Sized Podcasting.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about creating a list of podcast episodes on your website. Some podcasters like to offer a full list of every episode they’ve published to-date. Others prefer to curate a ‘Best Of’ list that can help pull in new listeners. You can do this manually by embedding episode players on a page. Or, your hosting provider might have a feature where you can create this in your podcast player itself. Captivate, for example. You might even choose to create themed pages; for example, here are our listener Q&A episodes, here are our how-to episodes, and here are our quick tip episodes. Ultimately, you want to turn casual listeners on these pages into subscribers, too. So remember to link to your dedicated ‘Subscribe’ page as much as possible, here.
