Tell me if this sounds familiar: you have a great interview with a guest. Now it’s time to edit. You’re using software you’re still kind of learning. And this interview has a slightly different issue you haven’t seen before, so you’re watching YouTube videos on how to remove AC hum from your guest’s audio. You…
It’s easier than ever to get good audio quality for your podcast…so why does yours sound bad? It’s probably because you, like many podcasters, are using Zoom to record the call and release it as is. But that’s NOT the way to do it.
Instead, you should use a tool that’s purpose-built for recording podcasts. Designed to take audio and video backups. Designed to make it sound like you’re both in the same room.
In the past month or so, I’ve been experimenting with something that grew my podcast downloads by 21% and it wasn’t paid ads. See, the best way to grow your podcast is to get in front of other podcast audiences. With that in mind, I decided to try some Podcast Swaps, and they’ve been working…super well.
One of the most overlooked peices of a successful podcast is a good website. And frankly, it’s because there’s no standardized way to create a podcast website. You need to set up your show, and separately set up your website…until now.
RSS.com has released their Free Local and Nice podcast hosting plan, and it’s a truly free plan that doesn’t limit you based on uploads, hours of content, or duration of episode in feed. It’s a fantastic development for people who want to start a podcast with a little bit less risk. Here’s what it means…
In Episode 2, I talked to you about having one, clear, call to action for your podcast. There, I recommend your CTA should be to join the mailing list. This will allow you to capture your audience to directly communicate with them. From there, you can further promote sponsors, sell products, or provide more benefits for your membership (along with providing real value, of course).
But you still need a good place for the mailing list sign-up form to live. There’s no way to add a form in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or any podcast app.
No – You need a good landing page.

Remember in high school when a teacher assigned you a paper and the first question was always, “how long does it have to be?” The most frustrating answer to a student looking to do the minimum amount of work was, “as long as it needs to be.” This is actually a good answer though. See, “how long” is the wrong target. A page number doesn’t make a good paper; fulfilling the requirements does. In other words: content is more important than length. The same exact thing is true for podcasts.
