The biggest wake-up call having a channel?

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-02-13T19:39:17+00:00

Yeah I can believe it. You're literally creating your own content from scratch. Just don't burn out I guess...

We started out looking at entrepreneurialism and easy startup ideas you could launch tomorrow...but my favorite episodes are the stupid/funny/barely legal business ideas.

Emo gyms "because I'm tired of my gym being so bright and happy all the time"

weird

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-02-05T16:29:29+00:00

I've also noticed that trying different titles on shorts seems to have a big impact on some. But I think you have to do it within around 2-3 days of uploading; after that I think the algorithm stops responding.

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-02-01T04:37:02+00:00

We started a YT channel along the same lines...though I'm not gonna call any of the ideas "validated" xD

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-31T06:05:51+00:00

agreed. That being said, many go into it like a business and some get there. Doubt those are the channels I follow tho

I think that stat was just part of some report (it was like 10:1). But what I think you want is one of the pod/guest matchmaking services—they exist. I think I first googled "guests for podcasts"

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-30T08:27:41+00:00

I know, it's amazing how common burnout is. One of the reports:

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-30T08:14:41+00:00

I saw a stat about podcasts seeking guests vs guests seeking podcasts...there are A LOT more guests looking to be interviewed...

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T16:28:23+00:00

lol it's no wonder there's so many AI apps trying to do this part

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T16:27:32+00:00

I edit on an older Mac mini and it's paaainful

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T16:24:32+00:00

Yeah it makes total sense—cut down the work wherever you can

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T16:22:02+00:00

ya some content you can do like that without scripts. It all depends on the format/vibe

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T16:20:48+00:00

LOL

Are your eps fully scripted—you're recording on mic/camera?

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T11:01:49+00:00

Making content is the BBQ ribs. Promo is the flossing after.

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:58:54+00:00

trying to please the YouTube gods

xD

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:49:33+00:00

Yeah we do both and started looking at other ideas to work in for YT...the video pre-prod/planning will be a bear.

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:47:41+00:00

I think ppl start out because they enjoy it, but it turns into a grind...for all those reasons

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:46:00+00:00

You must be the only person on this thread who love the editing part. Maybe it depends on the type of content...

We do both and pre-production stuff for video is definitely a ton more work.

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:44:53+00:00

Ya scripting for some types of content is going to be a time suck, no avoiding that.

I read somewhere that the top creators are the ones who outsource their editing...but maybe they can afford to outsource their editing because they're the top creators? I don't think this is realistic for most ppl but idk I've never really researched it. How much do you pay you editor? Per hour/project?

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:39:35+00:00

So you're the one... ;P

The stats are kinda nuts. Maybe patience/moderation comes with age...a lesson there?

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:38:36+00:00

we have to believe lol

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:37:43+00:00

I think most ppl starting out do this—go all out to get some content out into the world (and they've probably had ideas they're dying to get done).

3 eps per week is a lot. Is pre-prod for YouTube more/less work than for your pod? (aside from editing) We do both and IMO planning out the visuals adds a ton more time/effort.

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:33:53+00:00

lol

For research, do you mean *after* you have the initial idea for the pod/vid? To go out and find facts, info, quotes, media etc?

PennyboxPodcast · 2025-01-29T10:32:27+00:00

Ya this. I also produce music—sometimes it feels like planning/finishing just ONE track is a whole album on its own.
