The Role of Persistence and Timing in Podcast Success

[Send us feedback/questions via Text] (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2383476/open_sms) Welcome to another engaging episode of Ask the Podcast Coach! Your hosts, Jim Collison and Dave Jackson, are back to delve into the world of podcasting with insights, anecdotes, and tips for both seasoned and budding podcasters. Today, they tackle some pressing questions: How do you measure the true impact of advertising in podcasts? What role does persistence play in achieving podcast success? Drawing from real-world examples like LegalZoom’s ad strategy and Kurt Warner’s inspiring journey from arena football to NFL stardom, Jim and Dave highlight the importance of consistency, opportunity, and even a bit of luck. Special guest Chris Stone joins the conversation, adding depth to topics like brand awareness versus direct response in podcast ads, using personal stories to enhance content, and the struggles of maintaining audience engagement. They also touch on how external factors, such as celebrity connections, can dramatically impact a podcast’s popularity, using the example of Kylie Kelsey’s podcast gaining traction from the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship. The importance of balancing content feedback, managing multi-platform streaming, and staying true to your brand amidst evolving media trends are also on the docket. Expect discussions about the nuances of cryptocurrency, innovative ad examples, and the challenges smaller podcasts face in a competitive landscape. Jim and Dave even share their predictions for the future of podcasting and the role of AI in content creation.Sponsors:<a href='https://www.podcastbranding.co/?utm_source=atpc&utm_medium=shownotes'>PodcastBranding.co</a> - They see you before they hear you<a href='https://www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/?utm_source=atpc&utm_medium=shownotes'>Basedonastruestorypodcast.com</a> - Comparing Hollywood with History?Mentioned<a href='https://learn.schoolofpodcasting.com/'></a> Featured Supporter: Ed Sullivan fron Sonic CupcakeIf you need an editor for your show, check out Ed at [soniccupcake.com] (http://soniccupcake.com/) Podcast Hot SeatGrow your podcast audience with Podcast Hot Seat.
