Pod Sound School

Hi Podskis! It’s me, Veronica. We’re back. How were your holidays? It’s so great to be back. I don’t know about you but I’ve got a great feeling about 2020.

I wanted to jump on real quick and clue you in to what we have in store for you with Season 3.

For Season 3 we’re focusing on TAKING IT UP A NOTCH! We going to help our pod skis take their podcasts to the next level. We’ll focus on finding and nourishing your tribe, improving your content, time management and workflow, making money from your podcast, and much more.

And if you are brand new to podcasting or haven’t started your podcast yet, Season 3 will still be a great season for you, and you can always catch up on our past episodes. There are about 50 episodes packed full of useful tips for the beginner, so go binge on those.

And in the spirit of taking things up a notch, that’s we we’re going to try to do with Season three. First off we have created a Weekly Bonus episode that we are introducing called PodBitz. These are going to be short episodes that keep you up to date on what’s happening in the podcasting world, give you quick actionable tips for the week, and we’ll also share our weekly podcast suggestions for you to add to your cue.

We have prerecorded a template with a background track that guides us through, this radio-show type format. Which means we’ll be unedited and raw.

We will be recording PodBitz LIVE every Wednesday on Twitter, so come join us on twitter @podsoundschool. After the 13 minute episode, we’ll be hanging out for a bit LIVE on Twitter to respond to comments or questions.

In addition to PodBitz, we have also reached out to some amazing experts to guest on the show.

We’re going to continue to experiment with our episodes and find ways to continually make the educational content fun and useful for you.

Another change we are making for Season 3 is that our regular full length podcast episodes are now going to be release on a by-weekly schedule.

But don’t worry, if you are determined to stay in the know, and continue building your podcast enterprise, we will have premium episodes available to our Patrons that you can find at www.podsoundschool.com/supportus.

With a small monthly membership, you’ll get your own private link to our premium content, those episodes will be biweekly as well on the off weeks of our podcast.

And that’s it pod skis, so enjoy the first episode of PodBitz. And tune in every other Friday for some amped up Pod Sound School episodes.

Also if you haven’t stopped by our Youtube channel yet, we have a ton of free helpful videos there that cover all the basic podcasting topics.

Find that at podsoundschool.com/youtube

And before I go, I just want to let you know how grateful I am personally for the amazing experience I’ve had so far with Pod Sound School. It it so amazing that you are enjoying the show and tuning in each week. Please don’t be a stranger, come slide in to my DMs on Instagram, or go harass Studio Steve over on Twitter.

And remember you can always come chat with us directly each week on Twitter for PodBitz LIVE every Wednesday.

We love you pod skis, and lets make 2020 the year our podcasts explode!!

Why is it so hard to get people to leave a review for my podcast? I have an audience, I see the downloads, but sometimes I feel like I'm podcasting for myself?

In this episode, Studio Steve and Veronica debunk some of the myths and misconceptions about podcast reviews and share their best advice on how to get people to review your podcast.

• Whether reviews help you rank higher on Apple Podcast or grow your audience.
• Why reviews are not a good way to interact with your audience.

THIS WEEK IN PODCASTING

Did you watch the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards? or have you been living under a rock with Veronica and don’t know about iHeartRadio 😂? Either way we discussed the different awards and awards winners also and Veronica makes a petition to include categories for indi podcasters. Let’s see how that goes. Also, CNN is planning the release of their new podcasts. We can only imagine the interesting content and quality. Finally, if you are still lingering with the question whether Spotify is getting stronger than Apple Podcast, Chartable has a great article about it and we discuss it a little bit.

We all know that us podcasters struggle with social media and need all the help we can get. This is why my recommendations for podcast this week are The Social Media Savvy Podcast and The Shine Online Podcast. These two podcast are so great to learn about social media and entrepreneurship.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Many people don’t know about the page that Apple has put together about marketing, although it’s pretty general stuff it can be really helpful to read through, especially if you want Apple to FEATURE you. In the article there are many tips about raising your chances. Find the article at Podcaster.Apple.com.

In addition to that, when it comes to being featured, many people don’t know that you can reach out to Apple and ask them to feature you. But very recently Apple has changed the way to reach out to the editorial department and they have put together an Apple Podcasts Promotion Request form. The link to this form isn’t a public link. To get this form you’ll have to email Apple at: [email protected]

Come and say hi to Veronica on Instagram @podsoundschool. ( she claims she responds to all her DMs , let’s see if that’s right)🧐
