Hey, pod pals.

0:02

Do you know that if you can get your podcast

0:04

to one thousand downloads per episode,

0:06

your show will actually be in the top twenty

0:08

percent of all podcasts. Now,

0:11

the reason why eighty percent of podcasts

0:13

out there are doing less than one thousand downloads

0:15

per episode is because they are

0:17

disorganized and inefficient with

0:20

their podcast episode marketing.

0:22

Now, I create an amazing free tool

0:24

called the podcast gross scorecard to

0:26

help solve this very problem.

0:29

Now, this simple tool will help you

0:32

gamify your podcast marketing so

0:34

that you can see a direct correlation between

0:36

your score and your download numbers.

0:39

The podcast gross scorecard helped me

0:41

to three x my download numbers

0:43

for this podcast in just eight

0:45

weeks. Let's see what it can do for you.

0:47

Pick up your free podcast gross scorecard

0:58

Hey, podcasting business school fans.

1:00

It's Kristen Chadwick from Holistic Podcasting.

1:03

Podcast coaching for Christian, Female,

1:05

Entrepreneurs. My podcast

1:07

is all about coaching you through the process

1:09

of launching, growing, and maintaining your

1:11

podcast through a holistic approach.

1:14

I really encourage you to go check out episode

1:16

number forty five where I talk about

1:18

all the things podcast content planning.

1:22

Alright. You are listening to

1:24

Podcast Business School. Here's your

1:26

host, Adam Shibley. What's

1:28

up? Pammels? Is is your buddy Adam? You're

1:30

checking out podcasting business school. This is the show

1:32

where I teach podcasters how to love their show like

1:35

hobby and build it

1:37

like a business I've got a

1:39

podpile Zoom party happening here

1:41

today, and we're talking about tips to

1:43

increase audience engagement with

1:46

my weekly newsletter strategy.

1:48

It has been a minute since

1:50

I have broken down my newsletter I've

1:53

been trying some new things that I wanna

1:55

break down here briefly, and we're gonna get

1:57

a conversation going around newsletter

1:59

marketing, which I think

2:02

is a primary resource

2:04

for audience engagement. We talk about

2:07

download growth. There's always

2:09

that that focus on How do

2:11

we get more new listeners? But

2:13

the other thing that podcasters tend

2:16

to neglect is how do we keep our

2:18

current listeners listening It's

2:20

like when you're building a business, you wanna

2:22

acquire new customers, but you don't wanna

2:25

acquire one new customer and have two of your current

2:27

customers walk out the back door because you aren't paying

2:29

attention to them. So Same thing with podcast

2:31

listeners. This is a great strategy

2:33

to keep those listeners listening, keep them compelled

2:36

to continue to consume your great

2:39

content. Alright? So let's

2:41

talk about my newsletter strategy. If

2:44

you guys are on my list, you

2:46

will get emails from me on Mondays and

2:49

Wednesdays. And my goals of my newsletter

2:51

strategy are number one,

2:53

add massive value across the board.

2:55

Add massive value. Number

2:57

two, create engagement opportunities. And

3:00

I'll talk to you about couple of examples

3:02

for that. But I really want to

3:04

use my newsletter as a bridge to

3:06

communicate and invite you all to be part

3:08

of my world. Alright? And interact, like

3:10

end Zoom life or in real life.

3:13

The third goal is to create the type of content

3:16

that my podcast listeners are excited

3:18

to consume each each week or that

3:20

I would be excited to consume if I was the podcast

3:23

listener. And then, fourthly,

3:25

again, give those podcast listeners

3:27

reason to continue consuming my content.

3:30

Very important. Now with

3:32

my strategy, my Monday, Wednesday, strategy.

3:35

This has evolved. I've been doing weekly

3:37

emails for three

3:39

years now. So I've

3:41

put in a lot of reps and it started

3:44

off just every Wednesday. And

3:46

then I started doing every other Monday, and

3:48

now I do every Monday, every Wednesday.

3:50

But they're different. There's they serve a

3:52

different purpose. So my

3:54

Monday newsletter is

3:56

my live trainings schedule. This

3:58

is all about where

4:01

am I showing up to teach for

4:03

free this week and

4:05

beyond? Alright. So it's more about

4:08

how can we get together and engage in

4:10

the near and mid term future

4:12

and interact and learn and how how I can get

4:14

all of you and teach you little bit whether it's livecasting

4:17

or club house or speaking events

4:19

or whatever, then my

4:21

Wednesday email is

4:23

my weekly value add. That's my love

4:26

letter to my listeners. That's something I sit

4:28

down. I freaking love writing it

4:30

every Wednesday. I write it in real time.

4:32

And for those of you that have consumed that, you know,

4:34

divide them putting out with that. Like, I really

4:37

enjoy teaching via that Wednesday

4:39

newsletter. Right? So I

4:41

wanna break down each

4:43

of those, the Monday and the Wednesday template. And

4:45

that way, you can see how you could potentially

4:48

use one, the other, or both

4:50

to do more audience engagement from your podcast

4:52

listeners and your email subscribers. So

4:55

on Monday, again, the goal

4:57

is to let my audience know where

4:59

I'm showing up for free live

5:01

trainings, events, etcetera.

5:04

It's got so the template of

5:06

the format of how it's it's broken down at the

5:08

top. First section is the

5:10

current week's schedule. So where am I

5:13

showing up this week? I've

5:15

always got my Instagram live on Tuesday. I've

5:17

got a new Instagram live series on Thursdays

5:19

that I'm doing. I'm like, here's the topic I'm

5:21

focusing on. Here's where you can go to

5:23

watch it. If it's an interactive live,

5:26

like my Thursdays, I've been doing my

5:28

podcasting profits for service provider

5:30

series. So if you're a service provider, you can come

5:32

on with me. And we will be

5:35

split screen on Instagram. So I'll have a sign up

5:37

link for that. And that's the first

5:39

section. Where am I showing up live? If I'm doing

5:41

a podpiles, it'll show up there. Then

5:43

I've got upcoming schedule of events.

5:46

So I'll usually have one of my podpile

5:48

Zoom parties in there. I know I've got right now

5:50

pod fest. I'm speaking at pod fest. If

5:52

there are good podcasting or entrepreneurship

5:54

events, that's where I stick them.

5:57

Because I want you whether I'm speaking at it or

5:59

not, I want you all to be plugged in to

6:02

good stuff. So that's part of the value add.

6:04

Then I don't wanna make it

6:06

just about all of the schedules, so

6:08

I I had a set I recently added a section

6:10

called the podcasting tip of the day. So

6:13

that way, it's that extra, like,

6:15

fishing lure that, like, okay. Even if

6:17

they're not interested in interacting with me live,

6:20

they're gonna get a tip. And it's just something

6:22

that's hot top of mind

6:24

right now and I'll just kind of

6:26

dish out some of my best tips,

6:28

action steps, and advice on one

6:30

podcasting topic. Then

6:33

the newest segment

6:35

of my Monday newsletter is

6:37

I've got a new brand immersion sponsorship

6:40

strategy. And being a

6:42

sponsor of that Monday newsletter is a

6:44

part of that. And that's a new monetization

6:47

method. I'm gonna be teaching on that quite a bit. It's

6:49

different than just sponsors because it involves

6:52

you know, my show, it involves my

6:54

newsletter, it involves my social media. And

6:57

so that is something that if

6:59

If I don't do that, I'll promote something that I've got cooking

7:01

if, like, a free challenge or

7:04

a an offer that's active enrollment,

7:06

something like that. So that's I'll

7:08

put a call to action in there.

7:11

Now, this Monday, news

7:13

blast gets a sixty

7:15

to seventy percent open rate. Alright?

7:18

And the click throughs are usually twenty percent

7:20

plus, which if you know email marketing,

7:22

that's giant numbers. Now my list

7:24

isn't giant. got thousand person list. I mean,

7:26

it's tiny. It's not giant. But

7:28

just getting that type of participation. That's

7:30

why I moved to every single Monday with these

7:33

because people were opening it, they're

7:35

clicking it, they're engaging with it, they're getting

7:37

back to me, they're loving the tip of the day.

7:39

So I was like, this just needs to happen every single

7:41

week because I'm getting lot of adding

7:43

a lot of value, it seems, and getting

7:45

a lot of engagement. So that's the

7:47

Monday strategy. Right? So maybe that's

7:49

something you could be doing if you are going live,

7:51

if you are interacting, and it gets also

7:53

the other benefit as people show up on my Instagram

7:55

lives. They sign up for my Thursday

7:58

lives. They're out there. Obviously,

8:00

you can look at the room here. Everybody probably or

8:03

not everybody, a lot of you saw that announcement

8:05

in a Monday email. Oh, I can get signed up for

8:07

podcasts and you're here. Alright? So

8:09

the Wednesday email,

8:13

the goal of that is just to add a ton of value

8:15

to my audience and get them fired

8:17

up mainly to consume the latest

8:19

episodes. So the through line of

8:22

that email has to do with my latest

8:24

episode. And this

8:27

is something I write in real time. I sit down

8:29

every Wednesday morning early when I

8:31

get up. Sometime usually in the five

8:34

thirty ish AM central time

8:36

zone, and I knock it out

8:38

in real time. So the template for

8:40

Wednesday is as follows. The first

8:42

section So I call the life connection

8:45

intro. So it usually starts off

8:47

with something like this newsletter was

8:49

written in was lovingly curated

8:51

in real time at five twenty nine AM.

8:53

And I tell you something that has already happened

8:55

in my day. Usually, it it deals with drinking

8:58

cold brew coffee, and it

9:00

funny side note. At first, I just would

9:02

say I've consumed my cold brew,

9:05

but to some people that means alcohol. A cold

9:07

brew is associated with alcohol. So I'd

9:09

really like five AM's like Adam. We need

9:11

to talk. I was like, no. Cold brew coffee.

9:13

Cold brew coffee. Not a cold brew.

9:16

I'm not drinking a beer wiser at

9:18

five fifteen AM. Alright. So I just

9:20

like to publicly announce that. That's cold brew coffee.

9:23

But I'll I'll let you know what I did or maybe I've

9:25

already done some work or I've got a project that

9:27

I'm working on, but just a couple of lines

9:30

that give you a peek inside of my life.

9:32

Alright. It's part of that connection. Then

9:34

I'll lead into the topic of the week. So a little

9:36

bit of a transition paragraph of

9:38

whatever the through line is for the topic

9:40

of the week. And then I

9:43

go into the actual

9:46

topic of the week, I've got a list of either tips

9:48

or mistakes. So,

9:51

like, when this episode come comes out

9:53

live, I'll probably have three

9:56

weekly newsletter mistakes that podcasters

9:58

need to avoid, and that'll be my three

10:01

thing list inside of the newsletter. And

10:03

I'll use this in some social media too. So

10:06

that's a nice repurposing of the content.

10:08

So if the tips or the mistakes on the topic

10:10

of the week, then it goes right into

10:12

the the episode of the week preview. Usually, it's

10:15

like if you want to avoid

10:17

these mistakes. If you wanna take advantage of these

10:19

three tips, make sure you listen to this week's episode

10:21

where we dive extra deep on x

10:23

y and z. So it all kind of transitions

10:26

nicely. Then I add

10:28

a little bit of Adam flavor to it. The next

10:30

segment is what I call what I'm nerding

10:32

out on. And this is part

10:34

of what makes my writing

10:37

time fun for me. So a lot people

10:39

do not like doing email marketing. So

10:41

we have to figure out a way because if we don't like

10:43

writing it, people are probably not gonna

10:45

enjoy reading it. You know what I'm saying? So

10:48

this is part of what makes this fun for me.

10:50

It's not just churning out content. I'm like, alright.

10:52

What am I nerded out on right now? And it can be anything.

10:55

It could be health and fitness. It could be business

10:57

stuff. It could be books. It could be podcasts. It could

10:59

be something about my kids. Like

11:01

like couple weeks ago, I I talked about how I

11:03

created an Instagram account for my son who's

11:05

a sixth grade basketball player. I'm using

11:07

my knowledge of hashtags and marketing, and

11:10

he's getting actively recruited by

11:12

other, like, travel basketball teams where

11:14

they're they're reaching out in DM and I'm like,

11:16

hey, we want you on our team just because

11:18

of my marketing skills on Instagram applied

11:21

to promoting him as basketball player as

11:23

in sixth grade. So it's pretty cool. I had

11:25

the little section nerding out about that.

11:28

So it can be anything. Alright? Then

11:31

I have some sort of engagement call to

11:33

action where if you listen

11:35

to the show, you know I do a lot of podcast promo

11:37

intro swaps right at the end of the episode. Fan

11:40

favorite episode shout outs where you get to

11:42

come on and record some audio. And

11:44

you're like, hey, I I love episode three hundred

11:46

and thirty one because of blah blah blah. You

11:48

get to shout out your show on my show.

11:51

So some sort of an engagement call

11:53

to action. If it is not an audio clip,

11:55

I may be like, you know, what

11:57

is the number one way

11:59

you wanna monetize your show in the next

12:02

year? Hit reply and let me know.

12:04

I'm trying to initiate engagement in

12:07

this call to action section.

12:09

I'm not selling anything. It's just

12:11

engagement. Alright? Then

12:14

in the outro, I'll do another live connection.

12:16

What am I about to do? Usually, it's like, I gotta

12:18

go, you know, good breakfast

12:21

for the kids and get them dressed and ready to get to school

12:23

or a little funny family dad

12:25

anecdote of the day or something like

12:27

that. So I bookended it with life connection.

12:30

All that stuff is sandwiched in in between.

12:32

And this really works. And honestly, I freaking

12:35

love writing that Wednesday email.

12:37

The Monday, I write that in advance on

12:39

Thursday as I knock it out and I schedule it.

12:41

Wednesday is like, I

12:43

love it so much. I spend more time

12:46

curating that email than I do

12:48

editing my show, two episodes

12:50

of my show weekly. Alright. That's

12:52

how important and how much I enjoy

12:54

the Wednesday email. So if you can get to

12:56

that level where you enjoy

12:59

putting your email marketing, your newsletter

13:01

together. And again, you'll notice,

13:03

I didn't sell anything. Didn't didn't

13:06

mention and here's where you sell the crap

13:08

out of your stuff. No. Now

13:10

if you're in open enrollment, go for it. In that

13:12

engagement called the action section, take that out

13:14

and put your sales message right in there.

13:17

But the issue that most podcasters

13:19

have and a lot of my friends,

13:21

I'm on your list out there, podcasts. I

13:23

only get emails from you when you have something to sell.

13:25

And I I don't like that. And

13:28

that's not the way that

13:30

we need to be rolling as podcasters as

13:32

audience builders, as community

13:34

builders, let's add value,

13:36

let's nurture relationships, let's play the long

13:38

game, and this really,

13:41

really works. So a few quick pro tips and we

13:43

can go through any questions that you all

13:45

have. So raise your hand if you have question idea or

13:47

thought about this. For my podpiles

13:49

that are live in attendance here. So,

13:52

pro tips. Number one, write

13:54

the newsletter that you would want to open

13:56

a read every single week. Alright?

13:59

If you don't enjoy writing it, your

14:01

listeners probably won't enjoy reading it and they probably

14:03

won't. You'll have a low open rate. So we don't

14:05

want that. So find the recipe

14:08

that you're like, oh, I can't wait to do this. This is so

14:10

much fun. Number

14:12

two, try writing it and sending

14:14

it in real time. Just as an exercise. I

14:16

know we're all about automation, delegation, all

14:19

that stuff, but just

14:22

try doing it. Was that ads you to add that

14:24

allows you to add that little spice,

14:26

those herbs and spices from your real life. Like,

14:28

maybe you're right in the afternoon and you're stressed out

14:30

because of XYZ Tell a little story

14:32

about that. Maybe your listeners will relate

14:34

to that. Or you're excited because you're getting ready

14:36

to go do blah blah blah, your listeners

14:39

and readers may relate to that. It brings in

14:41

that extra relatability factor. So, try

14:43

that out. Then, final

14:46

recommendation pro tip. Don't

14:48

delegate this to your fifteen year old VA

14:50

from the Philippines. Alright? Like, don't be like,

14:52

hey. Here's what I need you to write. Here's what I'm thinking,

14:54

and I really been feeling like this. And you just kinda

14:56

you just sit up a little bit. Don't do

14:58

that. I want you to write this

15:01

and and so that's my challenge. Write it. Write

15:03

it real time. See what

15:05

happens. Alright? This is something that

15:07

can be a very powerful connection

15:09

tool for you and your audience.

15:12

And I think that yeah. You'll see great

15:14

results from me. Alright. So we've got a

15:16

few questions I'm sure here, Kristen. Why

15:18

don't you go ahead and unmute yourself, you can kick it

15:20

off?

15:23

Awesome. I love these tips, and then

15:25

I I love that you started with the

15:27

one and then you added the second one.

15:29

So it's kind of part of my question. Is

15:32

Have you seen, like, analytics

15:35

kind of agree with you on the open rate and

15:38

read through rate on,

15:40

like, one versus two or

15:42

two versus three emails a week.

15:44

I'm just trying to play with what's

15:47

the best number without

15:50

annoying people that I'm in their inbox.

15:52

Right. Well, for me, III

15:55

like the goal of getting a thirty percent open

15:57

rate or above. And isn't that crazy?

16:00

Like, that's one of the things I love about podcasting

16:02

is with email marketing. We're literally

16:05

high fiving each other. If seventy percent of our

16:07

email list doesn't even open it, we're like, yes,

16:09

thirty percent, Iraq. With

16:12

podcasting, Like, when

16:14

somebody hits that follow or subscribe button,

16:17

it always shows up on their phone. That's

16:19

a superpower. You know what I'm saying? So

16:21

just like, this is why we're we're in podcasting.

16:24

If they're subscribed on Apple, they get that

16:26

little notification. Boom. New episode podcasting

16:28

business school. Should have got it this morning. It's there.

16:31

So anyway, I digress. With if

16:33

we if we're getting over thirty percent,

16:35

that's when we can look at, like, okay, let's

16:38

explore the next level here. If

16:40

you're under thirty percent, we need to fix this

16:42

first one first and and work

16:44

to get that up. Now industry ish

16:46

standard. Again, like, this is super broad

16:49

brush is like if you're getting a

16:51

one to three percent click through,

16:53

that's pretty darn good. Alright? So

16:56

if we're at the thirty plus open

16:59

rate and then a one to three percent click through.

17:01

Let's look at adding and and going

17:03

to that that next level. But would start with

17:05

that weekly love letter style and

17:08

you can add some of the first one in there.

17:10

Well, I I did that before and it just started

17:12

to be this giant thing. So I was like, okay,

17:14

now we can you know, separate that off

17:16

and make it its own little thing. So maybe

17:19

to start off, you just have one little

17:22

promo for where you're gonna show up live next week

17:24

or something like that. Like, hey. Make sure you check out my

17:26

Instagram live. Maybe that's one section. And

17:28

that could be in the engagement section. Instead of engagement

17:31

call the action, it could be, hey. Come hang out with me live here.

17:33

This. Boom. And so it's very simple. But,

17:36

yeah, once you get in the

17:38

open rate where it's like forty, fifty, sixty

17:41

percent, those are freak email

17:43

open numbers. Like, those are awesome. And,

17:45

like, that's where we wanna be and take

17:47

advantage of having a small list. Because

17:50

we can train all the email systems,

17:53

hey, my people are opening my stuff.

17:55

So as I build it, they're gonna

17:57

let more and more people through that that gate. You know,

17:59

when your message goes out, they're gonna be opening it,

18:01

which is a good thing. So don't

18:03

be out there. Crying on your ATR2

18:06

thousand one hundred about, like, not having a

18:08

a giant, you know, email list or whatever, like,

18:10

let's now is the time to build it for sure.

18:13

And in a few weeks,

18:15

I'm gonna talk about this new business

18:18

immersion package, which is

18:20

like sponsorship, but way better,

18:22

in my opinion, way easier. But

18:25

building an email list is an important asset

18:27

for that. So just, you know, stay tuned on

18:29

that. So was that helpful, Kristen?

18:30

Totally helpful. Thank you. Outstanding.

18:33

Any other comments, questions, concerns

18:35

on the email marketing

18:37

newsletter strategy? I

18:39

think we're were good in the comments.

18:42

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

18:43

Tatiana, watch for the look. What you got?

18:45

Yes,

18:45

sir. I just wanted to, like, really

18:48

make comment and piggyback off of what

18:50

you were saying. We have a product

18:52

line that our podcast spun

18:55

from So once

18:57

we started doing, like, a

18:59

separate product email and

19:02

then a podcast email, with

19:04

nothing attached to it, nothing said about

19:07

the product, our clip through rate,

19:09

and our open rate just kinda like skyrocketed.

19:11

It's kinda like we were letting people in

19:14

and we weren't always just selling them

19:15

something. So I just want the 30th TV

19:18

in here. It's huge. I mean, it's

19:20

huge that That's called building

19:22

trust because we are marketed to you and sold

19:24

to over and over and over

19:26

again. And Like,

19:28

look at what we're doing with podpiles for an

19:31

example. At the end, I'm not gonna

19:33

go in now. You know, stay to the end.

19:35

Stay all the way to the end for my bonus offer. And

19:37

and podpiles where I give a life size cut out

19:39

of of Adam's bald face or something like that. Like,

19:41

it's not, you know, for nineteen ninety nine, you can

19:43

get this special offer podpiles. Like,

19:45

that's not going to happen. There are this

19:48

is a no strings attached to show up and interact.

19:50

Let's hang out and just get to know me

19:52

zone. And if you do this with your listeners,

19:55

via things like podcasting parties

19:57

with your newsletters, and they're

19:59

scanning through this honestly,

20:01

this helps with your open rates too. On

20:04

my Wednesday emails, maximum, I

20:06

have two links. I have zero images. I

20:08

use emojis, hardly. I admit

20:11

to them. I I'm an over emoji user.

20:13

Alright? I raised my right hand and swear, I got it.

20:15

And my name is Adam. I used too many emojis. I'm

20:17

sorry. Alright? But I

20:20

don't have images because all that was

20:22

wrecking my open rate. It was going to the spam

20:24

box. You put a big old logo at the top.

20:27

That spells selling, branding,

20:30

marketing. And to me, this isn't a

20:32

marketing email. This is a relationship building email.

20:34

So I write it, like, I was writing one of my friends.

20:36

And I write it in that language.

20:38

Because truly that's who you guys

20:40

are, whether you like it or not, you are my friends.

20:42

Like, if you're a podvalue, my friend, we, you know,

20:44

we hang out on Zoom and

20:46

you know, we run into events at each

20:49

other, like, once or twice a year, like, calculate

20:51

them. Okay. What's up, bro? But,

20:53

like, that's the relationship I have with my list

20:55

when they come and hang out and that's the vibe I wanna

20:57

put out and people feel like they know me

20:59

because like they know the names of my

21:01

children. Because I talk about them every

21:03

freaking week. I'm like, I gotta go make Henry and Hannah breakfast.

21:06

Man, Henry is five foot eight. He's the only sixth graders

21:08

freaking freaking me out. Now he weighs a hundred and sixty

21:10

pounds. So, like,

21:12

people know about my real life. And if

21:14

you let them in your real life, you're

21:17

more relatable, and they will

21:19

stay tuned into your stuff. And if you do happen

21:21

to sell programs, products, and services, you'll be a

21:23

little more top of mind because people are like, wow.

21:26

Adam feels like a friend and somebody that I

21:28

actually trust because he's not out there

21:30

hammering me with sales emails all the time. So

21:33

good point, Tatiana. Alright. Any final

21:35

thoughts, questions, concerns on this,

21:37

or are we ready? For podcast

21:39

or speed dating. The the most amazing

21:41

thing that happens every two every

21:44

Tuesday once per month. Alright. We're

21:46

gonna do it. So podcast or

21:49

speed dating. Here's how this is gonna go down.

21:52

Everybody's gonna get sixty seconds. Alright?

21:54

Don't maybe play that, like, Oscar music. You know,

21:56

I go, like, hey. It's been half

21:58

an hour. It's not an episode. It's not

22:00

a solo episode. So sixty seconds.

22:02

I want you to let us know what your name is, the name

22:04

of your show. Also, if you

22:06

have guests, I want you to let

22:08

us know who is a great guest for

22:10

you? Like, what type of a speaker person, whatever

22:13

is a great guest for you? And then

22:15

also let us know who you are a great guest

22:18

for. Are you, you know,

22:20

what can you speak on? And then again, be as specific

22:22

as possible on that. And

22:25

most importantly, let us know how to get

22:27

a hold of you. Website, email, Instagram,

22:30

whatever, and yeah. So

22:32

your name, name of the show, who you

22:34

are a great guest or speaker for, if you have

22:36

guests, who would be a great guest for your

22:38

show, and then how in the world can people

22:41

get a hold of you? Don't forget that

22:43

one. That way, they don't email me,

22:45

they email you, and then it just it's

22:47

very like, it's been less time you

22:49

know, going, hey, this person wants to connect with

22:51

you and they just go boom, right to you, I don't mess it

22:53

up. Alright? You mean, you never trust, you know, I might

22:55

mess it up. Alright. Let's do

22:57

this. Let's kick it off with my

22:59

pod pal, Heather Zitzvolf. Go

23:02

23:04

25:36

insights designed to help you strive to drive and

25:38

optimize. My ideal guests are

25:40

those topics. And as

25:52

things like diabetes, obesity, heart

25:56

disease, as well as any sort of autoimmunity.

25:59

And I'm really excited to connect with everyone.

26:01

should do a meditation podcast. Like, she's

26:05

got very soothing voice. You know what I'm saying? So

26:08

you, like, you listen to it. Like, I was learning about

26:10

26:14

Nina. Alright. Let's go

26:16

to Michaela s Ben when my

26:18

my old school pod pals have been hanging out for a

26:20

while. Let's go. Hello. Hello.

26:23

Like, Adam said my name is

26:25

Michaela. I am the host

26:28

of the Children's Book Marketing podcast.

26:30

It's a show there quite simply. Makes

26:32

marketing easier for picture

26:34

book authors, guests

26:37

on my show that I'm looking for

26:39

right now, are people who

26:41

can help authors find

26:44

unique ways to monetize

26:46

their brand, their author brand,

26:49

and their book. And for anyone

26:52

who may be looking

26:54

for a guest, my

26:56

areas that expertise of

26:58

course marketing for self

27:01

published children's book authors,

27:04

but as I remember that I am also an

27:06

author and I am a homeschool

27:08

mom. So anything related to

27:11

publishing children's books navigating

27:15

the world as a working parent

27:18

that has homeschool

27:21

also in the foray transitioning

27:24

from entrepreneurship to the working

27:26

world or vice versa. I'm

27:29

your girl. I can be reached on Instagram

27:31

at mikella s bin,

27:33

and that's the easiest

27:35

way to get ahold of me. Alright.

27:39

Awesome to see you, Michaela. Alright. Let's go

27:41

too. Let's go to Lauren,

27:43

fifty two weeks of hope.

27:45

Hey, everyone. Thanks, Adam. I

27:48

am Lauren Abrams. Fifty two weeks.

27:50

I hope it's my podcast where people talk

27:52

about the hardest challenge they've ever come, how they

27:54

did it, and give a message of hope.

27:57

I helped those. I've been on over

27:59

a hundred podcasts as a guest, and

28:01

I helped those who are burned out, their inner

28:03

critic going nonstop. They're

28:05

jealous of what others are doing

28:07

or what they wanna do. They feel like life's

28:09

passing them by. And I help

28:12

you get clarity and confidence

28:14

and get that inner voice

28:16

that's nurturing kind and compassionate.

28:20

And I also talk

28:22

about impostor syndrome a lot, and I have

28:24

a goodroads to riches story from

28:27

nothing to you know, living on

28:29

the streets to Beverly Hills

28:30

attorney, but I don't really talk about my law practice

28:33

or law. So Anyway, that

28:35

is it. You guys have ever seen the show fresh

28:37

Prince of Bel Air, that was based off of

28:39

Lauren's life. So I'm just just saying, no.

28:41

Just kidding. Just kidding.

28:44

Alright. So let's go to

28:46

let's

28:46

see. We've got a couple more veterans of the show

28:48

here. Rachel, go ahead and unmute

28:50

yourself. Hi. I

28:53

am Rachel Lorraine Crawford.

28:55

I was actually on episode three twenty

28:57

four with Adam on a podcast

29:00

audit, and the biggest piece of advice

29:02

that I got from that was to change the name of my

29:04

podcast. So I changed the

29:06

name. It is the holistic

29:08

and tier design business podcast.

29:11

It's a podcast to support

29:14

new and aspiring holistic interior

29:16

design entrepreneurs. And

29:18

I'm currently looking for guest

29:21

speakers in the entrepreneurial field,

29:23

looking to share knowledge on all things

29:26

business, from accounting to

29:28

marketing mindset and more for

29:31

my designers. I'm a great

29:33

guest for anyone in the business or entrepreneurial

29:36

podcast field interested

29:38

in learning practical design techniques

29:40

in order to optimize productivity and

29:43

wellness within your environment. Which

29:45

include your home, your office, and even

29:47

your bedroom. I could be found on

29:49

Instagram

29:50

at Rachel Lorraine, RACHELLARRAINE

29:54

Outstanding

29:59

and congrats on a killer

30:02

podcast name. Great. I knew the branding would

30:04

be awesome. Because that's like what you do.

30:06

Yeah. That's good. I was so happy. I'm like,

30:08

I saw I see logo in the background. It's

30:10

different. I hope that's the thing. So

30:12

well done. Very proud of you. Alright. Let's

30:15

get some of my newer pod pals

30:17

involved here. Alright.

30:20

We're gonna get a three for one. Right? Right in one

30:22

here. So I gotta preface

30:24

this. What's about to happen? We've

30:26

got William, we've got Chris,

30:28

and we've got Patrick, you guys can all

30:30

come on or you can just have looks

30:33

like Patrick's unmute. He's he's ready to take the lead.

30:35

So I consulted on these guys podcast

30:38

launch real crime NYC.

30:41

These guys are in the trenches,

30:44

real life, police officers'

30:46

detectives, like, they have been in

30:48

the game, and they are analyzing a

30:50

breakdown, like, new

30:52

crime, like, what's happening in the real world? And

30:54

it is freaking fantastic. It's

30:56

super interesting. If you like True Crime stuff,

30:59

you gotta take out their show. It's really,

31:01

really good. And they've all got

31:03

awesome like, real life New York

31:05

accent. I'm pretty sure it's not, like, a fake thing.

31:07

You're not really from, like, the Midwest or anything.

31:09

Are

31:09

you, Patrick? And I'm sitting here coming

31:11

to you from Brooklyn, Adam. So,

31:15

hi, guys. We're kinda new to a podcast

31:17

game here. I think we're picking it

31:19

up with the help of Adam. So thank you.

31:22

Myself, Bill Aubrey and Chris

31:24

Montana. You

31:26

know, we we do a real prime podcast

31:29

on any breaking stories that are out

31:31

there. And we have decades of

31:33

experience in investigating homicides,

31:35

major crimes in New York City, and we

31:37

apply that New York City, count of five to

31:39

to what we're talking about. We come to with a lot

31:42

of experience, professional experience.

31:44

So, you know, if we were to have people on our podcast,

31:47

which we haven't yet, you know, anyone

31:49

that was top tier investigator

31:52

that could speak to these things, we'd

31:54

actually be III say pretty

31:56

good guests on someone else's true. Grant

31:58

podcast

31:59

also. I don't know if the other guys wanna jump

32:01

in there. I think I think they're letting

32:03

you run this show today, man. So if

32:05

they

32:05

wanna get a hold of you, where do they reach

32:07

out? You know what? Best thing to do

32:09

is just look for real prime NYC on

32:11

TikTok. We put some teases out there.

32:14

We have a lot of content there that they could do very

32:16

quickly. And then hit the link and come to real

32:18

crime MIC Outstanding.

32:20

Welcome to the pod casting family,

32:23

guys. That's that's awesome. We're excited to have you.

32:25

Alright. Make sure guys go check out the show. It is

32:27

truly fantastic. Let's

32:29

keep things going here. Samantha,

32:32

one of my newest pod pals, we recorded

32:35

a podcast audit a couple

32:37

weeks

32:37

ago. So I'm excited to have you on. Go ahead and unmute yourself.

32:39

Tell us about your show. Hi. My

32:41

32:44

a podcast called deeper than tech,

32:46

where we talk about black women's talk about

32:48

how to navigate their selves

32:50

in tech and grow their career. Thinking

32:53

about changing the name because we also did that

32:55

in the audit, thinking about we

32:57

are black women in tech. Let

33:00

me know how you feel about that. Yes, no.

33:02

Thumbs up. Thumbs down. We'll see. And

33:06

33:41

I'm thinking about changing my podcast, audit

33:44

episode title and to Adam tells you to change

33:46

the name of your show show because

33:48

that happens. All the time. But truly, like,

33:50

it's one of my most recommended things. I'm like, oh, I don't

33:53

33:55

So congrats on thinking about, you

33:57

know, doing that repeat

Hi, everyone. I'm Shannon Russell

34:06

with the Second Act Success podcast.

34:08

So I interview women who

34:11

had changed careers from one thing to

34:13

the other and share their inspiring stories.

34:16

And I also am

34:18

looking for experts. So basically,

be a great guest for the podcast. And

myself, I went from being a television

34:38

producer for many, many, many years to

34:41

opening a small business and then eventually

34:44

opening or starting this

34:46

podcast and becoming a career coach.

34:48

So keep that going. That's amazing. Alright.

37:05

Let's bounce up to

37:06

Carly. Carly, go ahead and unmute yourself and

37:09

tell us about your show. Hello.

37:11

So I'm Carly Jackson. My podcast

37:13

is The Book Club Pod cast. We

37:15

just started with our first season. So

37:18

each season will be focused around a

37:20

genre. We read eight books in

37:22

that genre. We wanna have wide variety

37:24

of classic versus modern

37:26

versus indie published, versus young

37:28

adults so that we can sort of find similarities

37:31

of that genre, and then we have an episode

37:34

where we talk about the genre specifically and

37:36

and all the books that we read. Our

37:38

second season will be coming out in the

37:40

spring, we're looking at the solar

37:43

punk genre. So looking

37:45

at sci fi that has a an

37:47

optimistic outlook on how

37:50

technology will influence society. So

37:52

picking out the books that we're gonna read and

37:55

we do have we're considering having

37:57

some guests hosts to come in if someone

37:59

wants to come and read a sci fi book

38:01

and then get in-depth with

38:03

the discussion. But

38:05

I'm also looking to

38:08

to be a guest on podcast that talk about

38:10

any sort of fandom podcast. So books,

38:13

sci fi TV shows are my favorite. Movies.

38:17

I love getting into the,

38:20

like, the nitty gritty of what is the story

38:22

telling us and and what can we learn

38:25

about ourselves from from reading these

38:27

books. So it's book club

38:29

pod dot com, and you can email me

38:31

at opening question at gmail dot

38:33

com.

38:34

Nice. Great great show name. Also,

38:37

a little thought just popped into my

38:39

head there. I know we're talking about email marketing

38:41

today and some of you like, I don't have a list. I need to build

38:43

my list. One of the simplest ways

38:45

to do a lead magnet, sort of book

38:47

club for your show. Alright? So

38:50

behind an opt in wall, you've got

38:52

a book of the month, book of the quarter, whatever, and

38:54

have a little bit of email interaction back and

38:56

forth. Simple, simple.

38:59

And maybe you give away the

39:01

next book of the month to one of the people that

39:03

opted in and were participating in the current book

39:05

of the month or something like that. This is simple, and that's

39:07

a great way. Listen to Carly's show to get

39:09

ideas and how to run a really good book club and maybe

39:11

some some ideas on how to put together and

39:13

then get out there and launch that lead magnet.

39:16

Okay. Let's go to Austin and

39:17

Monica. Go ahead and unmute yourself. Tell us about your

39:19

show. No. Hey,

39:22

guys. We are Austin and Monica. We

39:24

were pretty new to the podcasting space.

39:26

We just launched ours probably month and a half

39:28

ago. And we're loving this

39:30

so far. We are the host of the profitable

39:33

nomad couple podcast. I'm

39:35

curious to talk with you later, Adam, to see if that's

39:38

a good name.

39:39

Yeah.

39:40

But we can work on that. I think it's good. It's

39:42

solid. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Cool.

39:45

So yeah. So probably the the thing that we love talking

39:47

about the most is traveling. We kinda have

39:49

three main pillars. That's traveling. And

39:51

being digital nomads, living nomadically, doing

39:55

it as a couple and building your relationship through

39:57

travel, and then also starting and

39:59

growing a small online business, and

40:01

then using that to fund your travels.

40:04

So those are the things that we love talking about.

40:07

Probably the thing that we would be the best for

40:09

us as a guest would be talking

40:11

about how, like, tips for

40:13

working productively while traveling and

40:15

moving around constantly. We

40:18

haven't had any guests on our podcast yet, but we're

40:20

talking about starting at the beginning of the New Year.

40:23

And probably a good guest for us would be

40:25

people who talk about any of those three

40:26

pillars. Relationships traveling or

40:29

small business small online businesses

40:32

outstanding. How do people get a hold of you again?

40:34

Oh, you can email us

40:36

41:10

throughout the years, but I just started my first

41:12

business podcast. It's called

41:14

Meet Your podcast editor. And

41:17

it's where podcast editors give quick,

41:19

practical, audio branding tips

41:21

for solo pinures. It's not just skiy

41:24

audio advice. We actually go into

41:26

41:39

literally like to pick that one aspect from their brain

41:59

and have the editors in my community, like,

42:01

give all kinds of different ways that they can

42:03

work around it. As far as guesting

42:05

42:07

42:09

42:12

42:48

46:58

shout out to you all here live, but

47:00

everybody listening in. This has been another

47:02

amazing year for me, for my family, for my

47:04

business, for this show. Hit personal

47:08

show records on, like, monthly downloads.

47:10

Like, we're doing over twenty thousand downloads a month now, which

47:12

is a goal I set, like, three years ago.

47:15

It takes me a while to do these things in podcasting because

47:17

I'm in a niche. But, like, when I talk to Chris

47:19

Krommetzos the other day, he's the guy that that runs

47:22

podcast. And I told my numbers, and

47:24

I was just happy to go, like, here's here's what I'm

47:26

doing. He goes, you know what, man? I think he might

47:28

be the biggest podcast on podcast.

47:30

And I'm like, no freaking way. You're an idiot.

47:32

He goes, no. This is kind of a smaller niche.

47:35

And he's legit

47:37

telling me, like, this may be one of the biggest

47:39

shows in the podcast about podcasting

47:41

niche. And I'm like, Holy crap. Like, this

47:43

is crazy from seven years

47:45

ago when I started podcasting and

47:47

my mom wouldn't even listen and now it's like

47:50

people actually listening It's crazy.

47:52

So I just want to say thank you. It

47:54

48:53

Stephanie Trucchio from the Meet Your

48:55

Podcast Editor podcast. And

48:58

I it was hard to pick favorite

49:00

episode, but my favorite episode of podcasting

49:03

business school is episode

49:06

304 podcast audit,

49:08

the inspired way podcast. Because

49:11

two reasons, one, it was

49:13

the first one that I listened to and I discovered

49:15

you all. And two, I really love

49:17

the delicateness of the audit and

49:19

the openness of the podcaster and

49:22

of all of the audit podcast actually. But this

49:24

one specifically because it just
