This is a replay of the live broadcast with Dave Jackson, Ileane Smith, Jason Bryant, Austin Wood, Kim Krajci, Jim Collison, John Bukenas, Mike Dell, Carla, Craig Wealand, and James Prescott
Recap From Last Week on the Live365 Streaming
1:35 Dave checked his stats and he is up to 22 listeners so far this month. The stats are not impressive for the $89 a month they are charging. If you want a streaming station you can get the same playlist features with Abovecast.com, but you will have to list your show in directories manually (Dave is working on a list for those interested).
Libsyn as a New Player that has a lot more tools to customize your player on your site.
4:25 This is what it looks like
2016 will looks to be the year of the player. Appendipity player is in beta. Dave hasn't played with it yet. He has a copy of it.
Austin Wants to Know How to Grow Your Audience
8:25
- Identify your audience
- Create content that will impact them in a positive way
- Go to where you audience is
- Make friends with your audience
- Tell them about your show
The equation for the number of downloads is:
Value in your episode multiplied by the amount of time spent promoting your shows = Total Number of Downloads
Austin should get a domain name, I prefer to have a self hosted Wordpress install (use the coupon code podcastcoach), and get a microphone like the Audio technica 2100
James Prescot: How to Grow Your Podcast
15:45 See above
John Bukenas Has A Client Who Got a Cease and Desist Order
17:40 How do you avoid this?
- Google Search. Lots of Searches.
- If you want to go the full route, you hire a lawyer.
Dave had a member of the School of Podcasting who had the Miami Valley Music Cast, but got a notice from the people who had musiccast. So he had to change the name of his show to www.audiogumshoe.com
As podcasting gets bigger we might see more legal issues come into the arena. Companies have to defend their trademark, and it gets fuzzy.
Craig Brings Up Making Sure your Website is Accessible to People Who Are Blind
24:25 Make sure your images and menus are setup for screen readers. Blab is not very accessible. Libsyn and Blubrry (media hosts for podcasts) are both accessible (use the coupon code sopfree to get a free month on either site).
31:00 Congrats to Craig who won an award for Best Education Podcast.m
