133 | How Being Focused Can Catapult Your Podcast Success
Work with Kevin 1:1 to Install a Revenue-Driving Podcast Into Your Business -- In this episode, Kevin Chemidlin shares his recent experience with two talented podcasters struggling to gain traction and grow their audience. Both had amazing guests on their shows and were skilled hosts, but the problem lay in their generic content. His advice was to narrow their content, but it wasn’t well received at first. After all, the most popular podcasters talk about a variety of topics and still have tons of committed listeners. Think Jay Shetty, Mel Robbins, Alex Hormozi, etc. These may be your favorite podcasters, but it’s important to remember that their journey to success didn’t include covering broad content right from the beginning. They focused their content towards a specific audience and grew their popularity over time — and this is the most effective strategy for any podcaster to do the same. By the end of this episode, podcasters will understand how to create a show that resonates with listeners and apply the advice Kevin gave his two clients for their own show. Topics discussed in this episode: Why talented creators struggle to grow their audience How popular podcasters succeed with broad content Niching down to get traction and build your audience The paths popular creators take to be able to speak broadly How podcasters can create a show that resonates with audiences MORE FROM KEVIN: Take the FREE 12 Days of Podcast Growth Email Course to get 12 days of podcast growth lessons in your inbox!

Visit riverside.fm and use code GROW to start recording studio quality sound and video and get 15% off a membership plan. The reason why most podcasters struggle with growth has nothing to do with their actual growth strategy. It's actually because their premise and their audience definition are vague, confusing, and broken. They don't work. Even if you have the juiciest most effective growth strategy, you're not going to grow if you don't have your premise and your audience definition locked in. So, that's what we're going to focus on in today's episode. I'll share two exercises to help you create a super specific audience profile and show premise. By the end of the show, you'll be able to identify what makes your show totally unique, and refine your show's premise so that it actually HELPS you to grow your audience.

Today I'm answering a question that I get a lot: How can entertainment-only podcasts grow their audience and monetize? I'll admit— I usually focus this show on "how to" podcasts because they can be easier to grow and monetize. However, that doesn't mean that the techniques I teach here can't still be applied to an entertainment-style show. In fact, the strategies I teach here can be equally as effective for entertainment shows. The main difference is HOW the tactics are applied and how you prioritize your time. Today, I'm going to address the similarities and differences between business podcasts and entertainment podcasts. By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly how to apply my strategies to your entertainment podcast. And, you'll have a list of the things you need to prioritize for growth and monetization success.

Work with Kevin 1:1 to Install a Revenue-Driving Podcast Into Your Business -- Have you ever noticed that people who don't have podcasts seem to think that podcasting is really easy? Here at Grow The Show , we like to say that making a podcast is easy, but making a good podcast is really hard.

Even though it sounds effortless, it actually takes a ton of work to make a podcast episode sound completely natural. Today, we’re joined by NPR producer and host Lauren Migaki who is going to teach us how to do just that.

What does it look like? When someone searches for your podcast on Google, does your podcast website show up first?

What I've found is that most podcasters fall into one of two camps regarding their podcast website: They are either completely overwhelmed, have virtually no website presence, and don't even know the first place to start, Or, the opposite is true, and they've actually spent TOO MUCH TIME developing their website and SEO. Whether you are in either of those camps or maybe you're somewhere in between, this episode of Grow The Show is going to help. That's because today we're joined by Brenden Mulligan, the creator of PodPage, which is an easy podcast website creation platform kinda like Squarespace, but easier, and designed specifically for podcasters.

22 | How to Record Professional-Quality Podcast Audio, With Rockwell Felder
Work with Kevin 1:1 to Install a Revenue-Driving Podcast Into Your Business -- How professional does your podcast sound? What recording software do you use? Do you record your podcast in a closet? Should you upgrade your equipment? What's the best mic, at the best price? I get questions about these things from podcasters all the time. And I haven't really answered them much, because, in most cases, podcasters need to focus more on their content and premise than their equipment. But, it's true, sound quality is indeed important. And, it's actually way easier - and cheaper! - than you think to have a really professional-sounding podcast. In fact, when I recorded the first 30 episodes of Philly Who? , I did it with two $98 SM58 mics, that's it! No studio, no $400 mic. I literally just carried the two mics in my backpack and recorded the interviews in random conference rooms. Yet, the most common feedback I got back then was how professional the show sounded. So, how is it done? How can you get top-notch recording quality, anywhere, on a budget? Today Rockwell Felder is here to break down the answers. Rockwell is the Co-Founder and CFO of Squadcast , a remote recording software platform for podcasters. On this episode of Grow The Show , he is going to talk about how you can get crisp, high-quality podcast audio, without spending a fortune on complicated equipment or state-of-the-art studio time. In fact, with just a few adjustments, and the right technique, you can have professional-sounding audio by the next time you sit down to record!

Work with Kevin 1:1 to Install a Revenue-Driving Podcast Into Your Business -- Amanda McLoughlin is the Founder and CEO of Multitude, a podcast collective based in New York City. 5 years ago, Amanda was working 9-to-5 for a finance company by day, and making a folklore podcast with her friend Julia Schifini on nights and weekends. That podcast, Spirits , was monetized from Day one, and pretty soon Amanda and Julia were able to make podcasting their full-time job. As Amanda and Julia's personal network of podcasters grew, they realized that they should all pool their resources together into a DIY podcast network. With that, the Multitude Podcast Collective was born. This past December, Amanda was named by Forbes 30 Under 30 for her work monetizing podcasts and helping creators to grow, while still owning their work. Today, she's going to teach you how she does it - and how you too can monetize your podcast right now.
