One sweaty time at a distanced Barre class was all it took for the advice of fellow podcaster George Hrab to suddenly made sense to me. So from my sweaty realization with my leg hiked behind me and hip flexors complaining to your awaiting ears and eyes, I give you seven ways you can break out of your habit (and my habit) of going through the motions and really focus on what it is you’re doing when you’re doing podcast-y things.Select Your Podcast’s Guests With Intent - If the entire reason you brought on a high-profile guest with a huge audience is to boost your numbers… how does that serve your audience? Also, that doesn't sound like a good basis to build an interesting conversation upon.Publish Your Podcast’s Episodes With Intent - Half-assed efforts at polishing the audio or writing the episode copy will certainly save you (and have saved me) a lot of time. But if the intent was “save time”, there’s not much benefit to your audience. Repurpose Your Podcast’s Episodes With Intent - There are so many different places to repurpose your episode, it’s easy to get lazy. Hey, I get lazy on this and often copy and paste the same text and same image in lots of different places. My friend Mark from Captivate.fm has a great case study that covering his team’s efforts on YouTube, and why they’ve eventually decided to stop trying to repurpose podcast content there.Guest On Other Podcasts With Intent - One proven way to get more attention to your podcast is to be a guest on other people’s podcasts. When you’re on, can you present yourself to their audience in such a way to better the chance the audience may want to seek out more from you? While still being a great guest, obviously.Displaying Your Intent Outside Of Podcasting - Beyond your friends and familym di the other people you interact with on a regular basis know you're podcasting? Does your social media presence clearly indicate you're a podcaster? Does that presence talk to your unique approach to podcasting? Take a look at the key places you communicate with the non-podcasting world, and apply some intent.Listen To Other Podcasts With Intent - Do your own listening habits help you grow as a podcaster, nourish your psyche, or replenish your soul? If so, keep on listening to those! But if the preponderance of podcasts entering your ears are from the Top 10 or you just trying to keep up with the popular shows… Is that really helping you grow as a podcaster?Prepare Your Show And Episodes With Intent - The amount of intent you bring to “show prep” matters. And the amount of before-mic-time is often many multiples of on-mic time. But if you are intentional in your prep work, that will come through in your episodes. Your audience will appreciate it. And you’ll be happier knowing you’re putting out better quality content.-----Read the full article and share with a friend: https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/7-intentional-ways-to-boost-your-podcastingFollow Evo on Twitter for more podcasting insights as they come.Buy him a virtual coffee to show your support.And if you need a professional in your podcasting corner, please visit Simpler.Media to see how Simpler Media Productions can help you...
