You have to start with the foundation and today eminent teach you how you can do just that before we dive on into today's jam pact, show I want to share a view from a list which is a little less fitness.

Business related sort of like an organised, instant message designed specifically for work topics and quick exchanges of information with in your team flag. Is the communication channel of Team Genova Journey? We use it every single day and I dont know how we ever lived without it to learn why slack is irreplaceable in my business had dislike. Dotcom, that's right, find all the magic at Slack Darksome, some we thinking why podcasting, let me tell you, there are tons of benefits to having a pod gas You can deliver contact quickly and easily. You can teach on multiple subjects. You have is platform that you can invite guest beyond. Specifically, guess you might to have access to without having a show you can expect in your brand beyond just written words and images you can establish

Credibility and expertise even grow a true tribe Can share your offers in a unique way, and let me just tell you one of the biggest perks of podcasting is that you don't have to be camera ready. I'm in my pajamas sitting here recording this one for you the biggest reason why I wanted to do this show was because podcast changed my life. I felt like the hosts that I listened to. You had become trusted friends in my world- and I was tired of you so alone in this whole business rat race. I wanted to do my listeners to show up as they are. Hard to serve freely in a new way and to be able to put out resources that I I only wish I had when I started my business eight years ago. I saw a true need for good free education. Decided. If I wasn't scene it, maybe I was the one that had to create it. It really kind of started as an experiment. I did

have a long term plan or a goal beyond lunches seemeth this works. So let me Let me walk you through the early stages of this, shall maybe recently started tuning in our. Maybe you ve been with me since the beginning to be complete is a kind is jumped into the pot we're. World and build my wings along the way. I'll be very frank debate, in ink and feel ridiculously overwhelming. You have to figure out all the things so quickly, but it is truly a great opportunity for you to clarify like what is my vision. What do I want to become of the show I busied myself with literally every in but actually recording. I was making a website and I was planning the launch plan and I was making the graphics and I was recording the intro, but I was so scared and confused and I wanted it to be perfect. Spoiler, nothing is perfect and Things have definitely changed a time since our first episode aired. I like honestly Guy

We cannot go back to episode one unless and because I know I would cringe the entire time I remember recording that show and just saying asylum prayer that all this would be worth it. I still remember the day that I decided to start this pipe guys. I was in the shower and guys I listen to pod gasping in the shower I am like inefficiency, freak So washing my ear assembly is just not enough. I need to be learning something long doing that and so had jumped out the water was still running and I grab my phone. I tried my hand off in a voice, Sexy Kalen, to tell her that We were going to do a podcast, since we had a quote all this free time to fill, and basically as I had a website I'd page to find a sponsor. I had hired someone help me said to that, and I pulled my audience on a name for this. And on a name for this job. I remember that voice. Sexy Caitlin saying I have a crazy idea, but I think it's gonna be awesome. I think we should start a pot

asked- and I just remember that season, because we had a little bit of open space and I was so excited to be able to arrest and hang out and chill for the summer, and then we created this basically, I knew that this could be something awesome, but I had no idea how big it would grow to be now if go back to episode number one. Thirty, two with podcast, her Cathy Heller, we disguised the best first step that you can take and that is to really have a clear mission statement for your show. What do you want it to be focused on Who will be your audience? What is it and goal even if these, Things change with time is so important to be clear in your ambitions in the beginning, because it's gonna help you lay a foundation and am I and probably will shift over the years and that's ok is low monsieur aligned with it in all of its stages. For me when I started thinking about like

What do I want out of a pot guess what do I wish more progress? Had? What can I bring that's different to apply? These were the things that I knew that I wanted. I wanted to interview, industry, friends and powerful leaders who ran authentic brands and were willing to share their expertise. Also one. To have an honest show that wasn't just like big highlight real, but it? we shared the hard and the not so glamorous sides of entrepreneurship like we have. Instead, if we want to see people look like they have it altogether by. I wanted people who are willing to show up and be candid about what their journey has really been like aisles one? It is space to teach freely and to share content that could help others, no matter where they're on their journey. I know my. Early days as an entrepreneur, all my heavens, like had so many sleepless nights, I spent googling Nino hours and hours googling things and trying to find Youtube videos in trying to figure it out, and I really wanted to help people whether they didn't have a bit.

Sir they were ten years in needed help. I knew from the very beginning that may show would be made by females for females, and I knew that I just wanted to feature women Did you know that ninety six percent of my audience is female. It's very clear who I speak to any of you. Aren't you listening to the show you are in good company, my friend thank you for supporting as women. I just really wanted this platform to highlights powerful business women into show you like you can do powerful things while working from home in your yoga bets forum. Now don't even get me started on picking upon gas name like the pressure of naming a show, feels like naming a child, and I can say this part is that you want to consider how searchable it is. If it explains permission, sing may well and if its memorable there are so many routes to go by

you're gonna know when it just feels right an aside from the more vague creative aspects like picking a name in a topic. There are a ton of logistics set, you need in order to be in place for your show. I do wish before naming my show that I had searched and created a more name for my bull name for my business, but you, win Samuel, you SAM. I get tagged incentives as gold digger, all the time, and people are like today, steelers from you in we all use the same terminology, but I really do love the GDP. So let's have gone into the logistics because I honestly think that is where most people get caught off guard like they like I'll, of listening to pod cause. I think I want to start one, but where do you even start and I remember when I was deciding to start my show. I had no idea like, where do I record? What kind of microphone do I need do? I have to like invest in his home soon like what does it look like, and so

before you dive in it's important, at least think about these questions and to answer them to your best of your ability. Now this was so foreign to me when I started, and I look like what were my user habits as listener, and then are you? This shows that I truly loved that I was always tuning into to help me laid the groundwork, cement, you as a user, can be the best determining factor for how you want to move forward in creating your own things, I knew that I listened to about two to three shows a week. I loved hearing the personal stories of entrepreneurs tied into the learning moments. I took notes on shows that really walked you through a step by step of something, and I wanted to create a space. I gave my followers in subscribers a chance to know and trust me more. So I long for you, think about these questions of your truly thinking about starting your own pod cause. These are things that you on a final eyes, how many opposite do you want to have per week,

me when I started out, I had one show weak and that was already having a lot of work to our already full plates after get the hang of things I decided to go to two shows a week, because that was what I knew I could handle is a listener, and I knew that people were anxious for more content. What category you wanna be classified in under Itunes. If you open it itunes and go to the search you can see. All the different categories of there are four shows were obviously in the business category one. Is your show going to be called? Is it easy to search is easy to spell who is your ideal guest are using. Have gas, or is it going to be a solo show who is Your ideal listener, who are you creating this content with in mines? Well, you do solo shows or gas shows or a mix. What is that going to look like in terms of the format? What topics

are. When will you write the script? If you do right it and when will it go, live Willie go live in. What you have advertised users or promote any thing, are you going to try to monetize this project? Now it's safe to say that, guessing takes a lot more time than you expect, especially when your first getting started between plan episodes coordinating with guys writing scripts in oh, no it's promoting it on social media. You wanna make sure you have this clear game play that you can begin to develop your workflow. I physically ended up investing five hundred dollars into someone in order to help me with all the logistics of simply getting it onto a platform how it he's gonna show up in Itunes and being submitted their how to upload the artwork. I understood this prodigy and what I wanted to show to look like and how I plan to launch it, but I didn't necessarily want to deal with all the texts that I didn't fully understand. I was willing

to invest just going in order to get the show up and running correctly and set up for the future, and so when you're starting to look at these things. There are so many things I didn't understand. I was like: do you upload this to Itunes every week? How does this work? How do you make it show up on your blog? Where do you share a link with your followers? How do you decide when it goes live there? So meetings that I just didn't understand into so I hired someone to help me with that, because it was worth spending the money for me in order to preserve my time. I have already told you briefly about the magic of slack, but that was just skimming the surface of this incredible programme on team Jenna Gooder. We use it to share projects, ideas, answer quick questions without waiting on someone to reply to an email. It's a toll

a game changer in small business saves you time, improves productivity at super, easing convenient it works everywhere you go, you can even get a mobile app and simply put its efficient organise and it ensures that every member of my team is always in the loop. I can imagine coordinating everything without it- and I'm so thankful to slack for sponsor- today's episode had disliked our com You are ready to take your business to the next level, that is slack dot, com, slack it's where work happens. So I'll buy guessing is super glamour. Is wonderful diamond handsomer dive into some of the not so glamorous parts of it? How are you going to record like did even think about that. Like I have two Barkie Barkie Dogs Guy Bless Cleon Tucker alone, them to die, but wholly Moses. They barca everything in so I'm like how am I even gonna get like why it time to record, and then you have to

you're out things like? Will you do the mixing? Are you going to outsource that editing and these questions are necessarily fun, but it sure are important. For us? We really valued having good audio and so investing in an editor from the very beginning has absolutely been worth every penny I knew right away and I value my time because this was in our sole project. We had so many projects going on all at once. So I knew that I wanted to invest in an editor, even if I could Tangley added it myself and I mean so many mistakes when it comes to audio, I hope when you're losing, If you were to go back to episode one, you could hear a difference because we have worked really hard on just having clear an awesome audio for you. Because as a user, it makes a huge difference. I remain when I first episodes? I used my Iphone headphones. I was sitting

on the ground are recording episodes outside, which is a really bad idea with traffic and waned and animals, but I had to escape Chloe in Tucker and then for the first six. Mines. I recorded episodes from my car, which was parked partly my grudge, because I was so worried that the dogs bark, while I was on there with a guest and I remember doing an episode- and it was like the middle winter in Wisconsin, and I couldn't have my car on because you could hear the heat and so I was like in this frozen tundra of a car sitting in my snowy snowy driveway were according to show its. I can tell you this gold digger definitely had a humble beginnings and while these words, the perfect solution, in those. Basically what I had to do in order to get the show up and running- and you know me done- is better than perfect, but once I We started to focus on good audio. I made some big changes to ensure that we did everything possible

the best audio I invested in a nice microphone, and let me tell you they do not need to be super fancy or expensive. I have two that a use and recommend I have a blue Yeti microphone, which is what I'm recording on right now and then. I also have a audio technical MIKE, and I also have a lot of. And who use a large attack had said and they love it, and I am going to link to all of these things that were mentioning in this show. So if you go to Jenin, cut your blog dot com, slash pod lasting one o one, that's Jenna, good, your blog dot com site podcasting, one o one. I'm willing to all these resources, so you can see exactly what are you but basically you're gonna want to be in a quiet space that doesn't have an echo, have a good internet connection and created set up that is comfortable and conducive to good, recording, so

I'm kind of paint a picture for you right now. Now, when we move to our home in Minnesota, it's actually super ECHO Ii, because we have hardwood floors and high ceilings, both things that I love in the architecture of a home but like our last house, which we had this awesome attic space that actually had a really good acoustics. I was being We challenge to figure out. Where am I gonna record this shout, and so my cousin lives here in Duluth and he is actually a dj for a radio station, and so he is offered up his apartment. Me while he's out work during the days that I don't have to worry about our dogs and I can just sit down a record now arrive really easy hack that you can do if your struggling to get good, sound quality is head to target and one of those little q that are used for, like storage cubes, their collapsible kind of cloth in any

and by some really good foam. It almost looks like those eggshell carton, mattress things at your mommy's to put on your bed and cut it up in just put it in every side of the coin, and actually on my microphone sitting right in there and it does a really amazing job of muting. Sounds at the beginning of this episode. You probably couldn't How? But there is somebody mowing the lawn rate outside, and you couldn't even here, because this foam kind of picks up all of the extra sounds, and so you can make this for twenty dollars? I think you can find them on Amazon too, but I wanted to tell you there's like you do not need to rent a professional studio or build one in your home. You just seen a decent MIKE and a quiet room, and it's been really awesome to kind of figure out and try to crack the code when it comes to having good audio

because it so important to me in so, we have to make things work sometimes, and sometimes it's a perfect, but were always strivings make your listening experience of the best. So in terms of recording, you also have to have a plan like are you record interviews in person or online. I mean I, wish. I could sit down my guys in real life by not many people, I would be willing to come to Minnesota, and so I have to do them online and we use this program called Zen, castor, which will also be linked in the show notes to record our episodes online, and we did this so that we can reach guess all over the world with ease their art total prose kinds recording in person over video or just audio only, but you have to find the one that works for you. Let me be honest. I hate me on video like when somebody wants sue chow.

With media Skype, and it's a video and like, oh, my goodness, if you could see the way. I look when I do work like I don't care what I look like during the day, and so I love just audio. Only, but there is something really awesome about winning can see somebody's body language in kind of figure, out the conversations that you're not speaking over one another so we use and cast her, but there are other options. Other options include zoom Skype and, if you're doing solo shows, you can record in garage band, Zen CASTOR has been our favorite and it's a really of what option in what is so cool about it is that it records you in your Gus apparently so that when you go to mix tracks, it's a lot easier to ETA into match kind of the output and it also exports or audio files straight to dropbox, such as a huge. When, once you record your pursued and get the episode edited and mix whether you decided eager self yourself or you outsource your editing. I want free the tune in

it's so argh were listening here voice. I can't tell you how hard it is to hear my own voice by one of my biggest pieces of advice. Is it went in to what you think of your voice, your interview style. And your show structure be a student of your own show in sea to improve every time you step up to the MIKE. Do you sound excited? Do you sound, tired Are you engaging? Are you asking the right questions? Are you talking over your guest I remember it was a giant learning curve like when I say giant. It is an understatement, because no one ever taught me how to be a host like I never went to school for this? I never studied media and when I first In my show. I had only interviews and I realize that I wanted to teach to an inch trying to injure jagged my expertise while trying to feature my guys that was decided like I should probably start doing. Solo chosen

the low shows have allowed me to teach and establish credibility while also letting me and allowing need a fully feature. My gas, without feeling like I, have something to prove I remember when I first started this show I was reading through the reviews, we tell you guys. When I say I read the reviews every week, I'm not lying like I'm, not blowing smoke. If you take the time to be mere review, a love for you to know it touches me, but, I had not so favourable review, which is bought. Reviews are for and I remember the person said that I sounded so young and immature because I kept interrupting my guess in member being so defensive outbursts, and then I was new an episode, and I was like you know what they're kind of right, and I think that I was trying to prove something about myself at time, and I didn't really know what I wanted the format to be, and I didn't really know how,

running the show could actually establish me as an expert, especially if I was only doing interviews, and so I really took that to heart in and try to learn how to be a better host. And let me tell you, I still have a long way to go to perfect that and so when you can offer pod guess who's grace, knowing that hey, they didn't go to school. To do this, but listening and in listening to other people shows and how they choose to host, can really give you some amazing insight, another important task to do on the logistic. Side is to familiarize yourself with your podcasting hosting interface. Did you destroy your eyes like what is that now for us, we use a program called lips and its allies bs. Why an and that's what we used to host are I'd cast and we use its links that it creates to distribute, are show. So this is what you can see if you go to the player in our blog posts in place straight from our blog posts, and it also

will automatically push our content out to multiple sources apple we use stature Spotify. So basically, when we upload a new episode deliberation, it pushes it to all the platforms that we're featured on which a super awesome. On lives in. We can also see our download numbers where they're coming from different benchmarks in so much more, and so this is the first place we go to We were trying to decide new, show topics, because we want to make sure like we're catering to what you the people wants, so now that you ve kind of figured out some of the logistics, and you determine how you want your show to be formatted a lot for you to plan your launch. We talk so much about watching on the show, but a pod gaslight is no joke and it such an important piece of your six size. So when you're going to launch a pod, guess you have to have a plan in place a view things that you can do for you launch now these are important. You wanted

start cheering your plans for the pod gas in hinting to your audience on what is coming up for them. I remember that I would do almost like little teasing me like eyes and working on something today and it so exciting and show them a microphone and have them can guessing what was going on. You can also pole. Your audience, and I love doing surveys and paused to figure out what are they interested in? What do they want to live from me who do they want to hear from? Let them be a part of the process, one of the biggest pieces of six. Sassin. Why? I believe our show is so successful as we truly listen to what you guys need what you want. What your excited about. I also thank you, didn't, don't your show until you have about four or even five episodes ready to go so that, when you launch your audience, can binge on all of you episodes and get hooked allotted times. People will launch a guests in the only have

an episode and then their listeners after we a full week to listen to the next one and guess what people aren't likely to subscribe after only listening to one show, and so, if you can launch and have a few ready to go. It's going to help, show gas. Here's what you can expect, here's what we have going for you, here's what you're gonna learn a man? You want to share the bad guys like every where plant literally everywhere and encourage your gas to share their episode. So when we launched a show, we had four episodes ready to go there all interviews, people that have worked with in my business and all four of those people committed to sharing when we launched use email marketing we hit by email is Facebook instrument.

We even use Facebook adds to get the word out and we totally crowd. Sorest were like hey guys if your tuning in, can you take a screenshot imposed about it and I'm still asking you that today, if you're sitting in can use take as Granger imposed about it, because it's the best way that you can share this with, followers now, one of the best ways to grow your show is having gas that are willing to share their episode in invites their followers become billions of your show and organically grown your reach, which is a total win win and say you want to encourage people to subscribe right away so that they can enjoy the constant, that's coming and let them know here's what you can expect. Here's, how often are shows, go, live here. Topics we're gonna cover here, a gas that are going to be on it and share. What's in it for them. Now I have to tell you something interesting: you might try to get gas on your show that have giant social media followings or your aiming for the stars, and it comes to that

but some of our most powerful episodes have been from people that don't have a big Gillian followers, because they are so much more committed to sharing with their audience and we ve learned this time and time again. I know that I sometimes can do a poor job promoting shows that I've been aghast on because were so busy promoting our. Own show, and we don't want a bum barred are followers with tons of places that again swipe up and click here, and so, when you're looking. I guess I do not get caught up in the numbers but get caught up, The fact is, somebody's gonna be willing to share with their audience and what their plan is when their episode goes live because it can make a huge difference for you now when you, sir, and growing, because guess what you will have your following these tapes? I want to I note what your audience thinks about it like. I consider to be an absolute necessity to assess what it is that your audience needs there

so many ways that you can do that as from Facebook Group pause to Instagram be back to just looking, at your download numbers, two quantifying feedback rating reviews are so many places that you can really get in touch with your gas. Here are three things that are going to help you keep moving forward in number one. I say this all the time, but no, your numbers follow, with your downloads, we do this on the host website, which is labs in and see which shows people are loving, which ones are the most downloaded. This really helps us cater to those topics in the future. We want to see like what are people asked about poor gas that people are so excited about? How can we get people? Just like number, to follow your ranking. So if you are able to see your show ranked on Itunes charts, congratulations, there are so many shows out there, and we like to look at

a number often Emmy. We do it almost daily honoured team just to see how it ebbs and flows. I wanted like like Itunes, is all algorithm them. It changes just like everything also be aware: your numbers could change in a flash. We still have not cracked the Itunes algorithm. We don't fully understand how it works, but we love to just trying to keep tabs on where were ranking and what's influencing that rank number three. Hold your audience. Did you hear that you guys so many of our show ideas come from your questions, the ones at your asking and who better to cater in episode to than the people that are going to download it, whether on Instagram, in the reviews or in our private facebook group, which, if you're not a part of should totally join in on him. Am sure that you are giving your audience what they want and giving them opportunities to share what they want like. We asked questions all the time

inside of our gold digger insiders group on Facebook. So many of our episodes are literally based on the questions at your asking, and it really helps us to just create a show that we know the herbs I did about like that's why our numbers go up every single month is because were truly tuning in to what you guys want. Now maybe you're thinking, okay, this is a lot of work, and can I just tell you it is a time of work. My sister Kate works so hard full time on this show just keeping it up and running and ready for you and so on start to look at that, maybe you're thinking or how can I make money off of this? You can take on sponsors and partner. So if you already have an established brand, or you have a relationship with a company that you love any use, or maybe you just have a super clear vision of your demographic yield.

Be able to take on sponsors that will help offset the costs that come along with podcasting, whether that's equipment, the hosting the editing, the recording software? Now, when we first launched my show, I already following trust in me, and I knew I wanted to run this show, but I was worried about spending. A ton of money along with time to do things like- you're editor and to pay the expenses each month now. I I will, if I wanted to make it worth my time like I could it be in debt to run it. I knew that would just become a burden to me, and so I decided to take on a sponsor it away in. I had worked with honey book for over a year as an educator and loved them. I reach out to them insured. My vision, I said, I'm starting upon gassed, hears you it's for here's, why? I think this aligns of your company and God bless,

that they sign on being a sponsor without even hearing a single show. They basically helped me cover our expenses for their first six months of this shell, and if your curious, like what is honey book, I would love for you to go to. Jenin, could join dot com, slash honey book. They have been such a huge part of my business and we use them every single day and so I don't know if I could have done this without them. We then decided after about six months, let's drop all adds, and instead it lights users show to grow. Our email is because you know how important I think that is and to share the resources that we had created for free, and so I wanted to test things out. I'd often talked about how so much a business is an experiment, and so often we get so rigid in the way that we do things that we forget six p dot m,

and so I wanted to test it out and see how it works if we decided to push my own products and what it would look like if I gave listeners a chance to invest back directly into my business now, this worked really well honestly and we love debt. But when decided to higher on a full time, salaried team member, who is my sister, I knew wanted to actually monetize a show in order to help cover our expenses since a significantly increased with having a salaried human, helping us run the whole thing, and so we decided to outsource to an ad agency for this and they basically connected with different brands. And I can either say yes or no. If I feel like it's a great, but I truly only promote products and services that I love and it feels so good.

Every time we have published to offset the costs of running this podcast, I will say it can take a lot of time to reach a point where brands are ready to partner with you. But keep this in mind as your approach grows like as you change cause. You might have to grind for a bit before the sponsors comporting in by in an up In episode where I interview and amazing bog, castor, she's gonna share how she got her first sponsor in what it looks like for her so I don't want you to be discouraged. It is totally possible. Our show is just grown so much now. I was very nervous when we re introduced adds because for months, I had had ads on the show that we're saying I know you hate ads and so here's a free resource in search hockey matter products, but I always tell you guys, do not work for free, and here I was working for free working so hard for free,

having adds has been such a blessing. I know every Monday. In one say, every time a show comes out that we are bringing profits into our business that are helping pay my team in order to keep this thing going, and so it feels so much more sustainable and guess what you guys were awesome. You guys gave so much grace you guys love hearing about the products that are genuinely love, and you trust me, and that means so much to me. My next step is to create a community having a private community is an awesome way to get feedback from your audience. To ask about past episodes to pay. Them on future ideas and to celebrate the successes and wins. I have a facebook community with over twenty thousand members, and I love having the ability to interact with listeners and bring new ideas to them.
