Mastering the Business of Podcasting: Season 2 Trailer 19:15

2 years ago19:15

Welcome to Season 2 of MPM! Season 2 is going to be focused on Mastering the Business of Podcasting! You asked and we listened. The episodes we got the most feedback on last year were the episodes that looked at ways to monetize your podcast and have our podcast be a key part of your brand. This season we are going to dive deeper into the many ways that your podcast can be a key part of your brand. We are talking to experts like: Arielle Nissenblatt about Marketing Your Podcast, Jennifer Navarette about Web3 and Podcasting 2.0, Zach & Rock from SquadCast about automations that can help your workflow, Jess Kupferman about building a community, and so many other experts that have their podcast as a key part of their business. We also want to bring you along on our monetization journey and how we are building our brand and our business with our podcast. Some exciting things have been happening over here at KaSa Media- and we have learned important lessons along the way that we think will help you to think creatively about how your podcast can be a vital part of your business! As you know, we have a membership group to support podcasters . This thriving community is growing and we are adding more levels to this membership group! In talking with our community, we learned that there are people who would be served by joining a micro-membership and there are people that would like a higher-level business focused membership. We are adding both of those in the next month and we cannot wait to tell you about it! Our lessons we learn will help you to start a successful membership as well. We stopped offering our key course…this was a hard decision but a very important one. Our key program- Launching & Leveraging Your Podcast for Accelerated Success was a 10 week program- and it was wonderful!!!! Yet- our focus has changed and shifted and it was important for us to remain focused. We are now creating a low-cost, evergreen program to help people launch their podcasts. We can’t wait to tell you what we learn from that process! Finally, we have leaned into David’s audio/visual expertise and Tiphany’s professional development/course creation expertise to bring our business focus on helping people create video courses. We are launching a Mastermind with a focus on teaching people about course creation and memberships as a vital and profitable way to monetize your podcast. We are also creating video courses for companies!!! In these past few months we worked with SquadCast to create a 9 part Welcome Video Series to help their new users learn how best to utilize the platform and we are working this Hindenburg on a certification program! We learned that leaning into your unique skillsets to solve someone’s problem is a powerful way to grow a business! We are excited about sharing our lessons with you in season 2 as well as bringing you into the conversations we are having with industry experts. We look forward to hearing from you about the questions you have when it comes to building your brand…

New Year, new goals! As we start a new year it is so powerful to plan what the focus for the new year will be. David & Tiphany give you a behind the scenes "look" at what our podcasting goals for 2023 are. Fun back story: Mastering the Podcaster Mindset podcast was created in 2021 as a way to support our podcast students and our membership group. We noticed that the people in our community had many questions that needed to be answered and we felt a podcast was a terrific way to answer those questions. With that purpose, we never marketed this podcast outside of that group. YET...the Mastering the Podcaster Mindset audience continued to grow and grow! So for 2023 we are experimenting with some growth strategies to see if we can continue to grow our podcast audience. We are: Starting a YouTube Channel Becoming more regular with blogging Promoting the Podcast on social media outside of just our Facebook community Focusing on live meetups and conferences to make in-person connections Other episodes you will enjoy: Benefits of Attending Podfest Expo - we love this episode!

Many "experts" will tell you that you need thousands of downloads before you can even think of monetizing your podcast. We respectfully disagree. Giant download numbers were never anything we found we needed to have our podcast start making us money. New podcasters and podcasters with smaller shows just need to be creative. We like focusing on these things when thinking about monetizing your podcast: Building strong, authentic connections with your audience Learning what your audience needs and wants from you Creating content that brings value to your audience If you focus on those things and have a creative, curious mindset- monetizing is pretty darn easy! The number one way we found to monetize a podcast is...... creating a course, masterclass, membership and/or retreat. This topic is so rich that we decided to break it up into two parts. Part 1 is all about: Memberships Courses Would you like to know more about how to start a membership or course?

How Legal (or Illegal) is Your Podcast? with Guest Gordon Firemark, The Podcast Lawyer (Part 2) 31:08

31:08

This is part 2 of a 2 part interview. Continuing our conversation with Gordon Firemark. Entertainment lawyer, Podcast law expert, and one of the best voices in the industry. Gordon has been a podcaster for more than a decade and is known as The Podcast Lawyer. We ask him 3 big podcast legal questions: Q1- Do you need a guest release? Q2- Podcasts about personal life, personal stories about traumatic events- do they have to worry about libel when sharing personal story? Ex: Amber Heard & Johnny Depp… Q3- Can I read books on my podcast? And Gordon gives us his most important bits of legal advice: Be professional- 1) set it up like a biz…agreements, LLC 2) have agreements/contracts with whoever you are working with or laws will assume you are joint owners 3) Trademark your title- be distinctive in your title, descriptiveness in title won’t allow for trademark 4) Monetizing- clearly document relationships with customers and partners. Vague & ambiguous leads to disagreements/lawsuits- always use precise & clear language Check out Gordon's Links: podcastrelease.com (free podcast guest release form) podcastlawbook.com (my ebook) Podcastlawforms.com (legal templates for podcasters) easylegalforpodcasters.com (how and why to course on getting legal structures in place for maximum success) Other Episodes You Will enjoy: What is the Biggest Legal Mistake Podcasters Make?

What if there are already too many podcasts about my topic? This question was asked in our Mastering the Art of Podcasting Membership group by a new podcaster that was worried about the podcast market being saturated. This conversation prompted an experiment. What if we gave everyone the same topic and asked you to record a mini-episode about that topic? We assigned the topic of "chocolate chip cookies" to prove our point: We all come to a topic with different backgrounds, life experiences, a variety of interests, and vastly differing viewpoints. Enjoy this fun episode that is the result!
