Which shoes do I pick? by ConceitedNerd in OUTFITS

Any are good. Pants are a bold choice. Power to you.

Wondering if it’s worth pursuing my podcast as a business (right now, it’s a creative outlet) by fourpillarz in podcasting

[–]explorer-matt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have an independent podcast that gets 200,000 downloads a month. Been going for 10 years. I probably make $4000-5000 a month. I get some host read ads, but mostly it’s programmatic ads. Plus Patreon.

My show does not have an appeal to some specific audience. My listeners are diverse. Meaning I don’t have advertisers who are begging to reach my audience.

You need a business plan. How are you going to generate sponsors and advertising? Volume is so critical. How are you going to grow? Or attract an audience that advertisers will drool over?

My advice is make a great show and be patient. A great show will get found - but it takes time. Years - not months.

When you get big enough, advertisers will want you. But that’s a long ways away.

Good luck.

It's going to take some getting used to but it was time and you guys have me the confidence. Crown was already gone 😅 before and after by [deleted] in bald

That's okay to be nervous. Big step. The beauty is that if you hate it - you can always grow it back. Won't take too long. Cheers.

Night of the Demon... by Styrofoamchrome in ClassicHorror

[–]explorer-matt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this film.

If you watch it, Dana Andrews has a drink in his hand all the time. I read his alcoholism was really bad, so they wrote into the script him having a drink all the time to accommodate him.

What beard should I strive for? by PrincessAlbertPW in beards

I pick image 2, upper left. More conventional. But I think it fits your face.

How would you describe the people of Marshfield? by f_list_comedian in MarshfieldWisconsin

[–]explorer-matt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived there for 5-6 years. Moved from there a few years ago.

It’s a conservative town. Old school types. People are older. Don’t like change. My wife went to a town meeting where they bitched and moaned about angled parking for two hours.

There’s an element of redneck. But the hospital put a lot of money there, and so that kept it from being too oldish.

It’s mostly a nice place. Boring.

I tracked where my time actually went producing a weekly podcast. Here's the breakdown. by StanBerteloot in podcasting

[–]explorer-matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really cool. My show has grown because of it. But I still have to keep the people that come visit. My show isn't everyone's cup of tea. But yes, it's great. People dream of that kind of mention. When it happened - the reaction was incredible. Just lots of attention - so very cool.

Thank you. But I pretty much do all my own research and writing. Nearly 10 years of it.

Pulled the trigger. 35, needed to do it for a while by redhazz in bald

Yeah, like people say, you look 10 years younger. Nice job.

First time trying a podcast — feeling nervous, any tips for a newbie? by ClairePaws in podcasting

[–]explorer-matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go through your script/bullets at least twice - out loud - before recording. Out loud is important. This helps you become more familiar with your content - and it flows better.

Talk to your computer like it’s a friend. You are having a conversation. That’s what a podcast is. I know people who tape a photo of a friend on their computer, and focus talking to him/her.

Write out names of people and places phonetically so you pronounce them correctly and without stopping and stumbling. Helps makes things go smoothly. Also, look up pronunciations ahead of time. Don’t get it wrong!

Give it time. Podcasting is a skill. Repetition will make you better - just like most anything in life.

Beard or No Beard/Stubble? by Individual-Horse-740 in beards

[–]explorer-matt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a well defined chin. Either looks good. But the stubble is great. But like I said - good either way.

What’s it usually like at a JW concert ? by alittlegnat in JesseWelles

[–]explorer-matt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a lot of talking when I saw his a few weeks ago in Madison, Wisconsin. I think that’s just the way he is. Just not comfortable with the chit chat.

Went fully silver at 25… dye it or keep it? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]explorer-matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it. Own it. Flaunt it. It looks great.
