When did podcasts become so popular? Are you a fan? Do you have a favorite?
When I studied digital marketing, @kylecbarber introduedpodcasting as a form of content creation. In 2019, I wasn’t a fan & didn’t recognize the importance.
Fast forward to 2022—In the past 10 days 3 podcasters allowed me to talk about my book, #BloggingonInstagram: @NealSchaffer ️, in Orange County, CA; @creativesensei ️ (Begona Pino) in Spain; & yesterday @tim_hughes1 ️ in the UK all generously shared their platforms with me. (Links in bio )
Tim’s was a “livestream” which meant “NO DO-OVERS.” I searched for tips on how to be a better guest & I found an episode on @billysamoa’s “For the Love of Podcast” If you have a chance to be on a podcast, here are some good tips from Billy:
✅ —USE A SMALL, CARPETED ROOM Low ceilings. Smaller is better. Soundwaves are absorbed by soft surfaces & prevent echos. Avoid large, barren rooms
✅ —CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT Use an external mic & headphones
✅ —CHECK FOR STRONG WIFI
✅ —BE CAMERA-READY & have a nice background
✅ —BE PREPARED TO DELIVER VALUE & share insights & actionable nuggets of wisdom
✅ —HAVE A CLEAR POINT OF VIEW Share unique perspective so people will remember
✅ —KNOW THE AUDIENCE & know who is listening Then you know how to serve them
✅ —TURN OFF NOISEMAKERS: AC/Fans, appliances, notifications, etc.
✅ —MAKE SURE YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT HEAD SPACE ♀️ Get settled. Take 15-30 minutes to prepare. Arrive 5 minutes early
✅ —MAKE SURE YOUR VOICE IS READY ️ Do vocal exercises & have water on hand
I didn’t follow all tips, but practice makes perfect. Thanks to earlier hosts @sacredvisionsstudio, @thoughtrowpodcast & @whenitworked for also sharing their platforms with me. (Links in bio)
Do you have expertise that others could learn from? Would you like to be a guest on a podcast?
