23: How I got 10,000 Podcast Downloads in 40 Days

I love podcasting, its really my passion but it took my a long time to do it correctly. This is my second go round at a podcast, but I learned a lot about how to do it correctly and I also learned I was doing it with the wrong things in mind. My real purpose should always be the audience and not just throwing out as much content as I can. Quality content is king and I needed to change my operating procedure.

So, what did I do differently? Here it goes:

The Production

• Fiverr for a Logo
• Took the Podcast Blueprint Course 
• Got Music on Pond5
• Used Garage Band and actually did editing
• Auphonic for audio leveling
• Bought an ID3 File Tagger
• Sent out 98 emails for guest to be on the show

 

The Launch

• Sent about 100 Personal Emails 
• About 300 texts (I forgot to mention this in the episode)
• About 500 Facebook messages
• About 3,000 Linkedin Messages
• Sent out to about 200 Mailing List Members 
• Bothered anyone with an iPhone
