Would you be surprised if, on a podcast about podcasting, we talked about SEO? We are talking about Search Engine Optimization today because yes; it matters even for podcasters. That’s why in this episode we’re doing exactly that. I’m sharing why podcasters need to care about Search Engine Optimization (or SEO). I started this conversation on The Podcast Newsroom. Before we get into more of this, I want to remind you that occasionally I start conversations there. We dig deeper into this show.  Oftentimes if you want to be the first to know, if you want to hear what’s happening on my mind right now this month, the podcast newsroom is the way to go.

This conversation around choosing your podcast topic is critical. Often, when I'm having these conversations, I'm actually not having it with people who are getting ready to launch their show, I'm having it with people who are a year into their show. It's because they're not seeing the success they want to see, they're not getting the traction they want to be getting, or they're struggling to build their plan. They're trying to sit down and map out content that supports their sales but they get a little all over the place and they're perpetually in this, “What am I supposed to talk about on my show?” place. I think that's such an important thing to acknowledge and also manage and deal with. When I talk about the three things you must be looking at when you're choosing your podcast topic, I'm not just looking at it from the perspective of “I'm going to launch this new show, what should it be?” but “I'm in this existing show, is it what it&ap

If you find yourself sitting down to record and struggling with what you're going to say, tune into this one.

I talk a lot on this show about there not being one magic lever, one magic button, one magic strategy, tactic, or tool that will instantly grow your podcast. That's true. However, there is absolutely one thing that every single podcaster who wants to grow their podcast needs, and it's not necessarily production. I'm sharing three ways you can be using marketing to grow your podcast.

Too often the question is Youtube OR Podcasting, but that's the wrong question. In this episode, we're going to break down three ways you can be using YouTube to support your podcast. Consider it our... good, better, best.

Last week, we dug in and we went from pitch straight through to marketing, promoting, and sharing the show on how you could be a better podcast guest. This time I want to take that same trajectory this week because there are also things on the host side that we can do to set the guests up for success. When our guests succeed and have a good experience, guess what, so does the listener. That's what we want. That's our ultimate responsibility. I want to remind you, before we dig into this, we did an episode a few months ago about dealing with difficult guests and having to make some decisions in your post-production about guests. I want you to listen to that one in addition to this one because there is some fundamental importance there around making decisions for your show that I think is important.

I talk a lot on this show and in workshops and on other people's podcasts about the impact of podcasting on a business, but what does that look like for somebody who's not selling podcasts, who's quite frankly not even necessarily selling a business service?   That's why I wanted to bring on Sarah of The Former Lawyer Podcast today because Sarah does a really, really, really incredible job of supporting lawyers on her show.   Today, she's going to be talking about why she started her podcast and the results that podcast has had in her business over the last couple of years.   See the transcript at uncommonlymore.com/sarah-cottrell Send us a textTired of your podcast feeling like just another thing on your to-do list?

Let's dig into some behind-the-scenes content suggestions for you because this is I think the most tossed-out idea when people start talking about content ideas. They're like, "Oh, we'll take a behind-the-scenes." Sometimes that is met with a complete shutoff because the service provided or the consumable being offered is very visual, and taking the behind-the-scenes of manufacturing, that's really hard to do on a podcast.  Today, I want to talk specifically about some ways you can do this regardless of how visual your offering is, regardless of how in the weeds or techy your solution might feel. We're going to talk about three ways you can do this. I really encourage you to look at your Q2 content calendar and pick at least one of these. This could be something you do all the time and it'd be incredibly helpful.Send us a textTired of your podcast feeling like just another thing on your to-do list?

This episode has been sitting on my episode ideas area of my dashboard for a while because I wasn't sure how I wanted to say it without sounding crazy. I want to talk about this idea of “what I want to talk” about because I hear that statement attached to podcast launches, content calendar meetings, editorial calendar planning ideas, and your content, be it video or blogs but certainly here in podcasts, is almost never about what you want to talk about.  In this episode, I am digging in on where I want you to focus instead of “what I want to talk about” when it comes to your next podcast planning session.  Want more news you need for a more profitable podcast?

We're doing something I don't do very often today, and that's to have a guest. Even more strange, a guest who is not a client of Uncommonly More. In fact, I am bringing you someone who provides one of the tools we use here at Uncommonly More. Lindsay Padilla, one of the co-founders of Hello Audio is joining me in just a second to talk about Hello Audio and private podcast feeds, and more than anything, we're digging in on some of the ways you can be utilizing them.  We're talking a little bit about some of the features and the cool things they do, speaking to some of the things that might be concerning about a private podcast feed, but more than anything, we talk about free and paid ways to utilize a private feed, especially if you're already a podcaster. Lindsay's absolutely incredible.  Learn more about Hello Audio at uncommonlymore.com/helloaudio Learn more about Podcast Production at https://uncommonlymore.com/podcastproduction/Send us a textTired of your podcast feeling

I'm super stoked to talk about podcast ratings and reviews today because there are thing I get questions about from time to time. And I think there are things where we end up on either end of a spectrum. And the answer is really kind of in the middle, which is that I don't care about reviews at all, and I'm never going to ask for them. And I'm obsessed with ratings and reviews and I need new ones daily to feel like I'm a success as a podcaster. Neither of those is the answer, just spoiler alert. It really is somewhere more in the middle.  Learn more about Podcast Production at https://uncommonlymore.com/podcastproduction.Send us a textTired of your podcast feeling like just another thing on your to-do list?
