How to Maximize Every Guest Appearance On Your Podcast (#88)

Have you ever been pumped for a new podcast episode to go live...but when it does, your guest doesn't even acknowledge it (let alone share it on their networks)? It's happened to all of us. But what if I told you it wasn't their fault...it's yours? Now before you come at me with a flaming pitchfork, hear me out. How you communicate with your guests AFTER their appearance takes place plays a significant role in how they share your content.  Even more importantly, how you communicate with your guests after their appearance will determine whether you begin cultivating a relationship that could open up new doors...or whether their contribution to your show (and your practices) becomes nothing more than a one-time transaction. On Episode 88 of Podcasting Strategy Simplified, I'm breaking down how to get all the meat off the bone when it comes to the guests you feature on your podcast. By implementing these simple strategies, you'll build more meaningful relationships with those you collaborate with while simultaneously creating networking opportunities that could change the game for your brand. After listening to this episode, you'll understand: ✅ Where most podcasters drop the ball with guest communication (and how to ensure you do things right) ✅ Simple steps to follow that lead to a more meaningful conversation on recording day ✅ Why each guest who joins your show presents a networking opportunity that could change the course of your business  ✅ How to set up plans to dominate the world with your guests ✅ Why you should apply these strategies to your own podcast guest appearances as well Did a tip or strategy from this podcast change the game for you?

Additionally, I'm sharing four easy-to-implement strategies that will ensure your content well never runs dry. After listening to this episode, you'll understand: ✅ Why thinking you'll run out of things to say on your podcast is nothing more than a limiting belief ✅ How thinking Strategy First will keep good ideas flowing ✅ Why timestamps are arbitrary with your podcast content (and what to focus on instead) ✅ How to implement a simple exercise that will not only boost confidence, but get you more in-tune with your expertise ✅ How to use my simple weekly system to ensure you always have a surplus of new episode and content ideas RESOURCES MENTIONED: Episode 84 of Podcasting Strategy Simplified  [https://jasoncercone.com/elevate-your-podcasting-strategy-with-this-masterclass-of-advice/] Did a tip or strategy from this podcast change the game for you?

The Truth About Podcast Ratings & Reviews You Need to Hear (#86)

When it comes to ratings and reviews for podcasts, there are many misconceptions - one of the biggest being the more R&Rs you accumulate, the more your show will gain visibility in Apple Podcast's algorithm. Apple themselves have stated this isn't the case, yet it doesn't stop many, many podcasters from asking you to drop a rating and review on each and every episode they produce. In my opinion, there's a much better way to acquire ratings and reviews. AND a much better way to get more mileage out of each episode's Call To Action.  In Episode 86 of Podcasting Strategy Simplified, I'm dropping the truth about ratings & reviews and helping you get more from your Call To Action.  After consuming this episode, you'll understand: ✅ The real value of ratings & reviews ✅ Some of the misconceptions behind ratings & reviews (and how to overcome them) ✅ Why your podcast will deliver better results if you focus on one clear Call To Action (and by eliminating the blanket ask for R&Rs) ✅ The results I got from conducting a ratings & review experiment (and the blueprint behind it so you can use it on your show, too) Did a tip or strategy from this podcast change the game for you?
