What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
And now, this week's tip.
Who introduces this special episode and what is its purpose?
Hey there, Danny here from One Minute Podcast Tips and welcome to a very special episode, episode 150. If you've been a regular listener, thank you for joining me so far up until this milestone. Today I'm going to take a backseat and instead I've invited some of my favourite podcasters on to share their own One Minute Podcast Tips with you. I hope you enjoy.
Hello, Dani and the One Minute Podcast Tips community. Happy 150th episode. I am here to share a tip with you that has helped me in my podcast growth journey over the years and will hopefully help you. I think we know at this point that there is no one-size-fits-all advice when it comes to podcast growth, but I still find that people are looking for it, and I understand that. It is really tempting to want to find that one thing that's going to just boost your show into the sky and And look, it might be possible that you strike lightning one day, but while we're waiting for that to happen or while we're actively taking steps for that to happen, we do need to be trying a lot of things, iterating constantly, and also tracking what might be working even the tiniest bit.
So my tip, based on all of that preamble, is to try out experiments in three-month chunks. Test a new variable when it comes to podcast growth. Think about one thing that you might be able to change constantly. in your show or in your podcast marketing efforts in each of those three month periods. Maybe it's testing a new podcast trailer. And while you're testing that new podcast trailer, sending it out to a bunch of complimentary shows and asking them to play that trailer on their feed. Maybe another iteration that you can make is tweaking your episode titles to be a little bit more relevant to search terminology that's going around with regards to your topic. Maybe it's pitching your show, any news that you have, to niche newsletters in your podcast topic and seeing what sticks.
Then at the end of that three-month period, make sure to log what worked and to maybe scrap what didn't work or tweak it and see if that tiny tweak makes a difference. That's my tip. Thank you for having me. One minute podcast tips. Thank you, Danny. And again, congratulations.
Hey there, I'm Gordon Firemark, the podcast lawyer, and I want to give you my big congratulations on 150 episode. That is a big milestone and well worth celebrating. Well, here's one tip drawn from my experience helping creators and media for almost 35 years now. Even if you're in it for the art or just for fun, don't just think of what you're doing as a hobby. Take the time to step back and look at things through a business and a legal lens, because that's likely how the outside world will see you. So make sure that you have good clarity in all of your relationships with your co-hosts, co-producers, guests, service providers, and sponsors. And yes, as a lawyer, I have to recommend that you get it all in writing.
This is where a little planning and prevention can really go a long way to making sure your show is around for the long haul, helping your audience and sparing you unnecessary headaches and drama. So again, congratulations on 150 episodes. You're out there serving your audience, and I love it. Keep up the great work.
Something I learned the hard way in podcasting is that tech issues never actually go away.
How can three-month experiments help grow your podcast?
It doesn't matter how many years you've been doing this or how fancy your gear is, you're still going to have bad internet. You're still going to lose files. Your microphone is going to break right in the middle of a sentence. I've gone an entire hour before realizing I never even hit record, y'all. It just keeps happening. So the fix is to expect things to go wrong. Always have a backup. Use a second microphone. Record locally while you're online and make your guests record their side too. Run a tech check every single time. Test the cords, y'all. Test the cords. Test the cords and the connections from one thing to the other. You have to be ready for the chaos.
