Growth Triggers

Okay take a step back and think about all the hard work you put into your podcast.   I bet it is a lot, and I bet you're not getting paid directly to do it.   I’m no different as I write this. It's 12:49 AM, jeezz and yes I STILL write my intros because I fell I need to inject my corny sense of humor and slick talkin’ in here and there :)   So, how much time does it take to produce YOUR podcast?   36mins? One hour ? 2 hours? 5 hours?   Think about the process for a sec.   There is tracking down the guest, setting up the interview, preparing for the meeting, doing the interview, editing the audio, writing show notes, doing graphics, so people even know it exists lol.   Then sending the files to the guest.   And praying to God that they even make a faint attempt to share it…   Jeez.  That was a lot of typing.   So how long is it for you?   Here’s a better question how much do you charge per hour for what you do?   $100? $200 $300 $750 ?   Is it worth it? You decide.   Enjoy! “The amount of time and energy it takes to put into a show is a lot… Are you ready to invest that kind of time in one piece of content?” -  Luis Diaz Timestamps: 0:40 - Testing a piece of equipment that you can use to record the podcast on your phone 2:13 - Two school of thoughts regarding podcast production that does not work 3:57 - Stage 1: Pre-planning 5:46 - Stage 2: Actual recording 6:30 - Stage 3: Post-production 8:37 - Why show notes are important 10:15 - Stage 4: Uploading and Promotion 12:55 - The total amount of time it takes to produce a 60-min episode Resources:  PowerDeWise  Daniel J.

I love email marketing but there are two things that make it not the best tool for me.   I’m not good at it. It’s getting harder to hit the inbox and get your message read.

PSTTTT can I tell you one secret about podcasting …? I learned this after researching, studying, analyzing, and analyzing tons of the top shows, the Pat Flynn’s, John Lee Dumas’, the Tim Ferriss’ for years… year freaking years. I BET you won’t see this coming; I know it because I didn’t see it either. It was pretty refreshing but again a stark reminder that this is an actual long game. Okay okay, I’ve teased it enough, the secret…? For your show to grow, you’ve got to get scrappy and resourceful. Today I’m going to help you achieve those TWO things. You see shows grow over timeeeeee not overnight. Even the BIGGEST names have come to me saying “man I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t grow my show.” You’d be shocked to see it not only you. Scrappy and resourceful means you use every piece of real estate, every opportunity, every collab, every post (well okay almost every position), every new relationship to promote, share and connect with new potential podcast listeners. This episode is going to help you leverage two more ways to grow your show. Enjoy!

What are the questions you need to ask yourself BEFORE you press record? If you are familiar with Pastor Andy Stanley, you might find this familiar.

So using these questions, I developed the Perfect Podcast Episode Planner to help you create content that sticks. Be sure to try these out before recording your next episode to make sure what your creating is going to be relevant, valuable, and it STICKS. Let me know what you think on INSTAGRAM @luisryandiaz.
