76: How to Use Long-Tail Keywords to Get Your Podcast Found
October 24, 2017 20:42 - 16 minutes - 14.1 MBhttps://podcastfasttrack.com/ Podcasters tend to love their gadgets - microphones (dynamic or condenser), digital recorders (Zoom H6 or the Tascam DP-006) - and more. What we’re not typically very good at is learning and doing the stuff that gets our podcast found by those who are looking for the things we talk about. But if what you have to say is important enough for… You to say it, and Others to listen to what you have to say… I’d say it’s worth you learning and doing the work to l...

October 18, 2017 03:44 - 15 minutes - 12.5 MBhttps://podcastfasttrack.com/ If you are not familiar with the term “backlinks,” you’re about to be. ;) I have come to believe that backlinks (among other traditional SEO best-practices) are among the most powerful ways you can get new listeners. This episode is aimed at teaching you the WHAT, WHY, AND HOW of that statement. Interested? I thought you might be. Here’s a rough outline of this HIGH QUALITY BACKLINKS episode… [2:18] What IS a backlink and why are they important? (An example...

Everybody (naturally) wants more eyes on their show’s cool cover art and more ears listening to their show. But I have to give you the hard truth about podcast promotion. There’s no silver bullet. There probably never will be. Like anything else in life that’s worth doing, you have to dedicate yourself to learning how to do it well. You don’t get returns without i...

73: Updates to iTunes Tags: What Podcasters Need To Know
July 27, 2017 18:56 - 17 minutes - 14.6 MBhttps://podcastfasttrack.com/ OK, it’s July of 2017 and the powers that be over at Apple have announced that the next version of their software (IOS 11) will introduce a few updated iTunes tags. You may not even know what a “tag” is. :) That’s OK - that’s why I’m publishing this episode. iTunes tags are simply some pieces of data that you are able to add to your podcast OR to each episode (depending on what tag we’re talking about) that enables you to communicate to the iTunes software a...
72: I’m The Poster Child of Terrible Podcast Episodes… But You Knew That, Didn’t You?
July 10, 2017 20:00 - 10 minutes - 8.34 MBhttps://podcastfasttrack.com/ Talk about a TERRIBLE PODCAST EPISODE - episode 70 of this podcast was it…. And it had NOTHING to do with my guest, Dave Jackson. Dave was incredible (as always). It had to do with the EPIC FAIL I did on the edits for that episode. You may not be aware of the fail at this point (I’ve since replaced it). :) But believe me - it was bad. But I also want you to learn from my mistakes. The episode was so terrible because of one simple thing: I stepped away from m...

You know, trying to become the trusted resource in your niche that your listeners turn to for help and advice? I think that’s a good plan. A VERY good plan. But I don’t see a lot of podcasters actually pulling it off effectively. There’s only so much you can benefit personally from interviewing OTHER experts, you know? At some point YOU have got to step out there - YOU have got to let your audience know what y...
70: Stop Worrying About Downloads and Make Great Podcasts, with Dave Jackson
June 27, 2017 20:00 - 41 minutes - 33.1 MBhttps://podcastfasttrack.com/ There are a lot of great podcasts - and none of them just happened or got that way overnight. There’s lots of tweaking involved (that IS the technical term). You’ve got to pivot, iterate, try stuff in order to get things just right. But sadly, most beginning podcasters don’t start with great content. Instead, they start with trying to accomplish great downloads, or hitting the New & Noteworthy list, or some other such nonsense. My guest today has seen it all ...

Seriously. I think anyone with half a brain and can follow instructions can easily set up their own podcast, begin recording, post it on the internet, get it submitted to the directories and be LIVE within a week. It’s not a promise because it depends on you, but I’m confident it can and does happen. In fac...
67: Grow Your Podcast Via Your Own Custom App, with Rob Walch
June 05, 2017 20:00 - 33 minutes - 27 MBhttps://podcastfasttrack.com/ You want to grow your podcast. I want to grow My podcast(s). There’s no question that we all want to reach a broader audience. That’s part of why we podcast in the first place - we have something to share that we believe will help people. So… there are always new things to learn when it comes to promotion, marketing, building an audience, and so forth and such and such. BUT - BUT - BUT - there are some things that I BET you have not considered when it comes to...

May 23, 2017 18:00 - 41 minutes - 33.6 MBhttps://podcastfasttrack.com/ It is hard to stay encouraged in any pursuit in life - simply because discouraging things come up against your efforts. I’ve found podcasting to be that way - IN SPADES! There seem to be so many things - from the rest of life to the technology hurdles - that make it hard to stay consistent and encouraged when it comes to keeping your show alive and the vision you first had for it front and center. That’s why I invited a podcasting veteran to be on the show ...

May 01, 2017 23:17 - 23 minutes - 19.2 MBhttp://www.PodcastFastTrack.com One of the reasons we do interviews at all is because we want the value a great conversation can bring to our show.

That’s what this episode of Podcastification is all about - my lessons-learned. [2:...

August 03, 2016 17:00 - 6 minutes - 5.23 MBPodcast subscribers are important people to us podcasters.
