The Podcasting Party — Technology
The Podcasting Party

Are you wanting to start a podcast but are overwhelmed by the amount of information about podcasting?

Are you confused by all the technical language, and technology?

Are you frustrated by how expensive equipment and the costs associated with podcasting can be?

Or do you have a podcast?

Are you stressed out trying to create content, record, edit, and upload your episodes each week?

Are you frustrated by the lack of growth you see even with all your hard work and dedication?

Are you burnt out and ready to quit?

Then you’re in the right place. The Podcasting Party is a podcast for podcasters about podcasting.

As a podcast coach, I have seen a huge theme emerge with the women I coach: potential podcasters believe in the message they want to share through their podcast but they lack the confidence in themselves when it comes to learning the technology and starting their podcast. They spend months trying to figure it out, google their way through, and by the time they make it to me, they are stressed out, overwhelmed, and frustrated.

Beginner podcasters come to me burnt out and ready to throw in the towel. The message they once believed in is now dwarfed by the overwhelm and frustration they feel having to produce a show each week.

I’m on a mission to help potential and current podcasters take the stress, overwhelm, and frustration out of podcasting.

I believe that podcasting one big party, and you’re invited. Come join me and let’s put the party back into podcasting!

Show notes

I am just so excited to be able to share today's episode because I think it's going to help a lot of you. One of the most asked questions I get, right behind mics and hosting companies is: How do I grow my podcast?

I have several other episodes about podcast growth and a community for female podcasters, PodcastHER, devoted to the topic. I titled this episode: How to Grow Your Podcast QUICKLY because that is the question every podcaster wants to know.

Most podcasters don't just want to grow their podcast they want to grow it quickly. So that's what we're talking about and I'm going to give you five tips to do just that: grow your podcast quickly.

What I Wish I Knew Before I Started a Podcast Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

Recently I had a coaching client who was frustrated. She was struggling to get her podcast up and running, and expressed how she just wished she had an A to Z guide for podcasting. Luckily, that's what we do in coaching so we got her all taken care of. But it got me thinking about when I started my podcast; all the things I didn't know and if I had were to narrow it down to just a few things, what I would tell you that I wish I knew before I started a podcast.

That's what this episode is all about. So come jump in the time machine with me and let's go way back as I give you the top 4 things I wish I knew before I started a podcast.

Black Friday is almost here and I've got some SURPRISES FOR YOU! As I mentioned in the episode, make sure you are on my email list to be the first to know about them and to get access to the early bird specials! You can sign up by clicking here.

Ratings & Reviews: Your Questions Answered Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

I bet you've heard it before, you're listening to a podcast, it's winding down and the host says, "Thanks for joining me today. Make sure you go leave a rating and review and subscribe to the show. Help us get the show out in front of more people."

How many times has that statement actually led you, as a listener, to go leave a rating and review? I'm going to guess, never. And that's true of most listeners.

So, how do we as podcast hosts get listeners to leave us ratings and reviews? Are they even helpful? Do we need podcast ratings and reviews? Does it actually help the show to get in front of more listeners?

I took some listener questions all about this topic and I am answering them on this episode. Plus, I give you a quick tip on how to effectively get ratings and reviews from your listeners. Spoiler alert, it's probably a lot simpler than you think!

Let's get to it!
