About this episode
What’s the best part of podcasting… and what’s the part nobody warns you about? Today, we explore the highs and lows that come with running a podcast. This ranges from hosting meaningful conversations to frustrations that show up behind the scenes. You’ll hear stories about common mistakes, the pressure around monetization, the grind of promotion, and the many moving parts that go into producing a show. At the same time, the conversation highlights why so many creators keep showing up behind the mic: the relationships, the growth, and the impact their content can have over time. We also spin the Wheel of Jargon to unpack what “hosting” actually means in podcasting, and we wrap up the week by sharing our wins and celebrating our accomplishments.Episode Highlights: [02:12] Next week preview[09:52] Wheel of Jargon begins[11:06] What a hosting platform actually means[17:00] Best and worst parts of podcasting[18:09] Listener stories and perspectives[26:53] Promotion burnout and sustainability[28:03] The power of an email list[29:28] Keeping up with industry trends[31:11] Paid ads that actually work[33:32] Using audience polls for targeting[38:32] Meetup announcement[40:01] Weekly wins roundupLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingBook A Free Call With Me: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodGlue:www.podglue.com PMC #217 Grow to 100K Downloads on a Budget with Tyler Perry:www.podcastingmorningchat.com/s1e217 Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
