🎙️ Calling all communication enthusiasts ...or literally anyone who interacts and communicates. 🌟 Dive into the latest Armchair Expert podcast episode on 'Being a Super Communicator' with Charles Duhigg. This episode was a fascinating conversation filled with insights and practical tips for enhancing your communication skills. 🎧✨ #ArmchairExpert #CommunicationSkills #CharlesDuhigg #PodcastAlert

Building your authority, visibility and influence starts WAY before you feel the urgency. Consider these scenarios: Creating a powerful personal brand doesn't seem crucial …until you want to market a product or service. Building an engaged audience seems like a low priority …until you launch a newsletter or podcast and crave listeners or readers. Start building your brand now, while the pressure is low. Don’t wait until your back is against the wall to realise the value of your network and influence. Remember: momentum builds in silence. Do you agree?

Just a reminder. You don't "own" the audience. Even if there is no algorithm in-between you and your communication to that audience. You earn that audience. Every single week. Every single month. Every single year. By continuing to publish content they actually want to consume. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 - they still have to want to open and read it. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 - they still have to want to subscribe and hit play every time you release an episode. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 - they still have to want to log-in and engage. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 - they still have to want to show up. "Owning" your audience via the platform you've chosen to communicate and share your content is not the #1 goal. The #1 goal is results. And the best way to get results is to create content so relevant / insightful / helpful that your audience seeks it out and doesn't want to miss (no matter what platform it's on).

How to make your podcast more popular?🎙️ 1. Leverage your guest's audience. 2. Promote on social media … in a dozen different ways. 3. Release at least 3 episodes on launch day. 4. Convert the audio to a YouTube video. 5. Submit your podcast to podcatchers and aggregators. 6. Transcribe the audio. 7. Throw a two-week ratings party. 8. Run a giveaway contest.

1. How do you prefer your podcast guests to be introduced? a) Brief intro by the host b) Guests introduce themselves c) Detailed bio read by host 2. When guests share their expertise, do you prefer: a) The host nods in agreement b) The host asks follow-up questions c) The host remains silent 3. For audience comments during the show, do you: a) Display them on screen b) Respond to a few briefly c) Save them for the end

New Podcasters: don't give up! 💪 Podcasters who check their download stats over and over again end up giving up. Focus on using your podcast for building strategic relationships and delivering value. 🤝 Even if little audience materializes, the value will come. 🏅 I recommend new podcasters don't check their stats. At all. More podcasters quit because of heightened expectations than any other reason.
