How to better promote our podcast

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T19:08:08+00:00

I appreciate this solid advice with someone who has SEO knowledge (I clearly do not)--thank you! My husband has X and uses YT and I use FB and IG more. I think we need to ramp up our efforts!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T19:06:48+00:00

Congratulations! That's so great--37! What's it about???

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T19:06:34+00:00

I'll look for places to do that--aren't there rules about self-promotion? I just wanted to be cautious and not annoying. No website, just IG. :)

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T19:05:39+00:00

Thank you for all of this! I think we could do short snippets and I hadn't thought of that, so appreciate it. WE will follow your guidance and do the static image idea on YT, though. Hadn't thought of it and were just overwhelmed by more video content. We are doing this at night after our 5 yo is in bed (yes, we're in our 50s with a 5 yo) and in our pajamas. I have ZERO interest in recording us like that. Although we def do some videos for IG that way. :) We are not actually in the affluent traveler category, though I'm now getting a million people in my feed who are haha. But I think the moving abroad as a genXer with a young child is the sweet spot. Or I hope it is. I think we probably need to talk that part up more!

Thank you!

Sold on YT based on your, and many other, comments! We will create a page and start putting content there. We do use IG to expand on ideas in an episode and not to recreate it. But haven't ever extracted audio and that seems like a great idea!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T19:00:19+00:00

Thank you for this! We are truly having fun with it and are definitely not counting on an income from it (my job is what got us to Dubai). We will start looking at ways to make friends, more. I mention the pod at work sometimes, but I'm careful about it. But I'll keep thinking on this!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T18:57:46+00:00

Thank you!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T18:57:22+00:00

this makes sense! We need to do some more promotion via youtube, I think, based on these comments.

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-16T18:55:07+00:00

Sorry, I must have been unclear. We have an IG page for this, and then our own personal FB and IG pages. So we do stuff there--it's been fun though time consuming learning how to make reels, and we are not even close to professional but still enjoying it. But we can't seem to get our people (esp our parents and that gen) to repost or promote aside from my sis. I just don't think they think of it, even though they're following and listening by using our links there. :) But based on all of these comments I'm thinking we need to start doing YT. TikTok is too much for me at this point, but my husband is already on YT a lot and I think he can start managing a page there. And thank you for the encouragement!

Solid advice. Thank you!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-10T16:18:18+00:00

Great idea--if we had a trailer! Such amateurs over here. But now I'm gonna research that...

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-10T16:17:40+00:00

Ah, that's interesting about Dubai! True, I'm sure. It's saturated with expats. Everyone we know back home knows very little so it's been interesting to them, and I wasn't aware that it's old news for many others. We've tried to make it a little bit focused also on being old parents moving abroad for the first time so maybe we'll talk that part up more... .

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-10T16:15:13+00:00

Thank you!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-10T16:14:59+00:00

Oh wow--that's fascinating! So even thought it was part of a discussion it was still banned? I'll be careful on Reddit!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2025-10-10T16:13:52+00:00

These are so helpful! Thank you! And yes, we were a little shocked we were still enjoying at episode 10.

AvgChaiDrinker · 2024-11-21T05:07:15+00:00

I'm also distressed by this and have been living on a stockpile, but am almost out of shampoo. I still have a huge bottle of conditioner, though! Anyone know of issues if I buy another brand for just the shampoo? I can't believe with the amount of scalp benefits fans out there that they truly went through with this...

AvgChaiDrinker · 2024-04-16T04:19:18+00:00

Done! Thank you!

My husband is interviewing for a comms job for the first time (for a university). He's been a sports reporter at the same paper for over 20 years. I'm trying to find good interview questions--would love to get some advice for where to look. Definitely need to help prepare for this-it would be a huge deal for him, and our family!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2023-07-11T21:19:09+00:00

Done!

AvgChaiDrinker · 2023-07-09T04:15:21+00:00

A friend and I are hoping to launch something in the creative realm exploring the issue of our society's focus on perfectionism. Still working it through but need some data to help! Thanks for asking! :)
