“More and more people are beginning to understand that what is really valuable is having a plan.” — Nick Bamford

Become someone worth listening to by NOT giving it all away.

When everything you offer is free, it loses value fast. So make sure to find a balance of free + paid content so you can serve (and trigger transformation for) your listeners and partners in the best possible ways.

Your podcast should be the beginning of your funnel (at least one of them). For example: create a video, make use of the audio, create the show notes… then turn all of it into something salable (concept) and sellable (content).

[TAKE ACTION] Consider the easiest way to sell something related to your podcast. Is it the recordings? Is it a course? Access to a membership site with bonuses?

  1. “To add growth, lead followers – to multiply, lead leaders.” — John C. Maxwell
  2. Become a person worth listening to and a listening multiplier with a clearly structured interview process so you can produce meaningful interviews that add tons of value to your listeners.
  3. Hosting a podcast interview is a lot harder than it sounds. It’s not as simple as having a friendly chat in front of a pair of microphones. If you don’t prepare, you could end up with a boring interview, or worse, your interview could become a sales pitch. There’s nothing worse than having a discussion with someone who only wants to sell their product.
  4. Avoid boring and salesy interviews by doing your homework and preparing in advance.
  5. [TAKE ACTION] Create your interview process that includes pertinent information like show format and time clock, a guest research and creation of interview questions plus guest expectations (number of times they advertise to their network, amount of time they need to block on their calendar, microphone and internet requirements etc).

  1. In this episode we will explore how we reuse and repurpose show notes on social media in order to reach new listeners and have a greater impact.
  2. If you remember back in episode 5, we uncovered the Hero’s Journey in your podcast. You were encouraged to map out your entire season to take the listener on a journey of transformation. Now it is time to use your roadmap to map out a social media strategy.
  3. At IBGR, we believe it is important to record a year’s worth of content in 13 weeks using our formula to create four episodes per week. Stay in creative mode for 13 weeks to produce your content and then switch your focus to marketing your show.
  4. LinkedIn Newsletter - Still rather new on the scene are the Linked In Newsletters. Reach a whole new audience when you use your show notes to create your own Linked In newsletter and never worry about running out of content. Every time you post a newsletter, subscribers get an email notification of your new content. You can add relevant and current calls to action as well.
  5. Social Media Posts - you mapped out a transformative listener journey. Now post snippets with a link to listen and subscribe
  6. Audiograms - By marketing just a snippet of your podcast show with the rest of the world, you make your podcasts more shareable than ever. Promoting your podcasts only with audio posts may not generate much engagement. Instead, combine an audio snippet with an image/video, a waveform, and captions, and you’ll have the perfect audio nugget you need to woo your listeners. You can even turn your entire podcast into an audiogram and post it automatically to your YouTube channel!
  7. Use quotes to create memes - In episode 10 we shared the IBGR Show Notes Template and suggested you start each episode with a some kind of hook in the form of a quote, story or statistic. Now you take that hook and turn it into a branded and shareable meme! There are plenty of platforms like Canva these days to use if you are not a graphic artist.
  8. If you are posting your show notes on your website as a blog post, share that entire post on social media using the direct link to the post on your website.

We are your single, one stop source for business success, period, end of story.

  1. When you write show notes for each episode they can be repurposed in a host of different ways. You do the work once and then reuse and repurpose the content to continually draw in new listeners to your podcast. Create your show notes and podcasts to be “evergreen” and the content never expires!
  2. The most obvious use of your show notes is to create a blog post out of them. You can hyperlink to the episode and invite readers to hear a more in-depth explanation of your topic. Consider having a page on your website for your podcasts and a separate page for your show notes. This allows potential clients to find your two different ways.
  3. Show notes also offer the opportunity to re-promote older episodes. Most podcasts are centered around a specific topic so referencing previously published episodes is bound to happen. Including a link to past content helps both current and new listeners to consume your back catalog, likely creating more loyal audience members.
  4. Reach out to other bloggers and offer your notes as a guest blog on their site. When researching a guest or topic, you likely found and referenced a few relevant articles, videos, or other podcasts within the episode. Reach out to let them know you are promoting their content and ask if they are interested in doing the same. You could offer to interview them on a future podcast in exchange for their promotion of your episode and blog post.
  5. Finally, every episode and blog post (show notes) can be sent to your email list as valuable content!
  6. Remember, do the work once and then reuse and repurpose. You may have to make some slight edits to fit with the medium you are choosing to market on, but basically all of the heavy is done early on.

  1. In episode 9 we discovered the Ins & Outs of Podcast Show Notes. In this episode, let’s explore key components to include in your show notes so you can monetize and maximize later on.
  2. In order to persuade casual listeners to tune into the latest episodes, use show notes to highlight main takeaways and why this episode should not be missed. Some people need a little extra convincing to hit play and show notes are the perfect opportunity to get them there.
  3. As you record each episode, provide the URL to the show notes for one central location to every additional resource.
  4. The IBGR Template - Where Transformation Happens!

  5. Title - Write what your ideal listener would put in a search on Google/Bing/etc about this topic (max 100 characters)

  6. The Hook - Quote, Story, Statistic, joke/humor Comprehensive show notes should include at least one memorable episode quote. It could be the main takeaway, a controversial guest statement, or a funny host remark that entices users to take the next step and listen to the episode. Podcast listeners like to discover new shows through trusted friends or online communities, so make it easy for your loyal audience members to share these memorable moments.
  7. The Why - Objective The Why
  8. The What - What you need to know
  9. The How - What you need to do
  10. BIO: Include contact information
  11. CTA: Include a Call To Action. Throughout the lifetime of a podcast, there are multiple actions hosts want their audience to take. Subscribe, leave a review, sign up for a newsletter, or become a Patreon member, for example. Similar to including links to external resources in one place, including a section of calls-to-actions within show notes makes sure listeners don’t need to remember multiple URLs to take the next step. Now all you have to do is direct them to your show notes page and they can easily navigate to your Patreon page.
  12. TAGS: Get your podcast found with a strategic use of tags.

  13. A quick Summary - Start your show notes with a brief summary of the episode. Your goal here is to convince the reader to hit that play button. Hook them with a story, a provocative statement, a thought-provoking question. Don’t be afraid to create suspense or debunk conventional wisdom. Keep it under 100 words. What should you say? Use benefits-based language that explains what the reader will get by listening to the full show. How will their lives be better after they hear it? Include your hardest-hitting points of data and quotes.

  1. Show notes help reinforce an episode’s message by complementing the audio content with imagery and articles, creating an in-depth look at a topic that can be consumed both audibly and visually. Let’s explore the Ins and Outs of Podcast Show Notes!
  2. Their main benefits include:
  3. Central location for listeners to access materials referenced during an episode
  4. Persuade casual listeners to tune in to new and old episodes
  5. Attract and educate new listeners about the podcast
  6. In order to persuade casual listeners to tune into the latest episodes, use show notes to highlight main takeaways and why this episode should not be missed. Some people need a little extra convincing to hit play and show notes are the perfect opportunity to get them there.
  7. While podcast show notes do take a little time to put together, you’ll be surprised at how much of the work you’re already doing when you prepare for your episodes!
  8. Show Notes vs Show Summary
  9. Show notes are an in-depth written account of what happened during an episode and additional resources that take the content one step further. The additional resources include links to articles mentioned during an episode, guest bios and social channels, videos, and relevant calls-to-action.
  10. Episode summary is one paragraph that details only a few high-level points. The summary is a gist, while show notes are more comprehensive.
  11. How to use Show Notes and Summaries
  12. Summaries are attached to each episode and appear within most podcast listening apps. Within Spotify, users can click on each episode’s title to reveal the summary. Some podcasts summarize their episodes in 2-3 sentences with a brief call-to-action on how to get in touch with the hosts.
  13. Episode show notes include the same summary but also have additional links to external resources that were mentioned throughout the episode. Some podcast listening apps restrict hyperlinks within the episode description field. This means it’s not possible to link listeners to these articles directly from the app. Instead, compiling everything into a blog post is the best way to help an audience member access the information later on.

  1. The average listening time of podcasts is 12-15 minutes. That means each of your segments needs to be self-contained within the overarching theme of the episode. Consider this segment structure…

  2. Intro – 1 minute

  3. Content – 7 ½ minutes
  4. CTA – 2 ½ minutes
  5. Outro – 1 minute

  6. Create a compelling intro that will induce your audience to listen. Create a similar outro with a strong call to action.

  7. Station identification

  8. Who are you? (Credentials, company)
  9. How will they be better off if they invest 12 minutes listening to you?

  10. Now craft your content. Include at least one story per segment about a client you’ve helped in relation to one of the tips. If you have time, include a second story about the second tip. Either way, teach your audience how/why to improve their lives by taking your advice on both tips. Write Your Stories with YOU as the MENTOR

  11. Develop a Call-to-Action that motivates your audience. Mention the benefits of taking your advice and how their lives will be better for doing so.
  12. Here’s the thing – Don’t over-think it! You’re simply bringing the best version of you into a conversation with your target market on a topic you are completely across.

  1. Most shows, due to no fault of the presenter, are not structured to convert. The show and episode names are vague and don't deliver a clear desired outcome or result. This makes it virtually impossible to cut through all the digital noise.
  2. Your listeners are PAYING YOU their most valuable resource, their TIME, to listen to your show. They will do this when they believe your promise will help them.
  3. In the case of your podcast, that promise takes the form of your overarching season theme, or "Never-Changing Big SEASON PROMISE." and every episode name.
  4. When structured right, your promise will attract your Perfect Listener and they will gladly pay you with their time. Does that make sense? I hope so!
  5. Because what you name your Season Theme has to include a PROMISE that when your ideal client sees it they know how it will benefit them and they will pay in time to show up every week.
  6. Choosing The Right Promise and getting it to convert can be as easy as 1, 2, 3.
  7. Choose ONE SPECIFIC RESULT that the current market is already paying to solve,
  8. Gain 100% confidence in YOUR offer before launching it.
  9. Set the stage for an irresistible offer during your weekly episodes

  1. In episodes 1-3 of this series we explored How to Get Noticed in the World of Business Podcasting and in episode 4 we looked at How to Build a Podcast Season - And Why It’s So Important.
  2. Once you know your season theme it is time to map out your listener journey. Start by brainstorming broad topics about your theme that your ideal listener might be searching the internet for answers.
  3. After brainstorming broad topics, put them into a logical order and number them 1-13. If you have more than 13 topics see if any can be grouped together. If you have fewer than 13 topics, share your list with a trusted friend or sleep and see if there are any others to add. Still struggling? Perhaps add an interview or two!
  4. Now go back and add four talking points for each broad topic. There may be more you want to include but it is important to stick to four. You have now mapped your hero’s journey!

Let’s talk about seasons. At IBGR, all of our hosts are business owners so we think in Business Quarters. Every quarter is 13 weeks. Imagine committing to recording four episodes in one sitting every week. That seems doable right? When you do this, you will have a year’s worth of content in 90 days to repurpose in your marketing efforts! Next week we will go into greater detail about mapping out your season. This episode will get the ideas flowing! Here’s the trick to quickly selecting relevant show topics for your audience…choose a season theme and start broad. List 13 broad topics that take the listener on a journey. To determine if a topic is suitable for a whole show, consider this…You’re trying to come up with 13 INTERESTING tips and find enthralling stories for your season! Those tips and stories need to engage an audience quickly and take them on a journey that leaves them in a better place. Here’s another measure to employ before deciding on a show topic… When you start a conversation on some of your topics with your target market, are they making polite excuses to get to another meeting, playing with their phone or refusing to make eye-contact? If so, either revise your delivery technique (we’ll tackle delivery technique in another episode) or ditch it as an idea for a show. These are powerful social indicators that need to be recognized and acted upon accordingly. If it’s painful for you to think about, it’s probably not a viable show topic. Here’s the bottom line…Your audience is there to learn. Learning doesn’t take place if they are bored. So let’s say you came up with 10 of the 13 show topics you need. Perhaps your next step is to come up with 3 more. Think about happy clients you could interview in relation to how their experience with you resulted in boosted sales. Or, insert a couple of summary shows like The Mid-Season Wrap Up or The End of Season Wrap up Another show could be an artfully led discussion with another industry expert on another topic of interest related to your overall show theme. Or, make two shows every season Wild Card shows where you surprise your audience with topics that come from current events. Leave a comment below or book a strategy call and I’ll share our season building worksheet!

Your radio show will have a personality of its own. It can tie in with your current company brand or take on a whole new persona. In this episode, we will begin creating the branding of your show. Before your first episode, start by developing a solid concept. This ties in nicely with the brand/name too. Just like any business or marketing process, your show’s concept should be documented - which is especially helpful if you have more than one team member working with you or if someone needs to take over production at a later date. It is also used to market your show. Who is your audience? Are they existing customers? New customers? Is your show aimed at a certain demographic? What is the purpose of your show? If you’re running it for a business or marketing purpose, try and define some objectives or KPI’s - just so everyone is clear on why. Tone of voice? Again. If you’re bringing different team members or guests in, it’s always good to just have clarity on how you want it to sound. Ultimately, audio is a personal form of communication so it needs to be an extension of your brand message. Structure? All IBGR shows are divided into four 15 minute segments. You have a choice in whether or not you want to invite a cohost or guests to your show and how often you want to do that. You can create a series within your season for a special featured guest or do the entire season solo. When inviting guests, you can charge them a fee or let them come on your show for free. There are many options to choose from in how you structure your show. We will dive into this topic deeper in future courses. For now, just start thinking about how you want to structure your show. Remember QVCAA! These are the five pillars that should be the foundation of every business show Quality Value Consistency Authenticity Authority

“Podcasting isn’t about lead generation. It’s about sharing your passion!” – Merrill Chandler A strong brand for your radio show does not necessarily need to share the same name as you or your company. Think about what solution you’re offering to your listeners (which can be either existing customers or prospects). The title should really be driven by the content of the radio show instead of your brand (unless maybe you’re coca-cola or something). If your show is an extension of your personal brand, you could have a ‘self titled’ radio show, lot’s of celebrities do right? However, this isn’t so great for discoverability if people don’t already know who you are. Brand your show one time so your listeners always know how to find you. Add a Season tagline to let listeners know your overarching theme of the quarter.
