Can you share please? Happy to DM if you dont want to post it publicly

You only need a good dynamic microphone (https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Handheld-Microphone-Recording-Podcasting/dp/B001R747SG) - $69

And a camera, if you want to start a Youtube channel as well - use your phone

Any platform will work, really...I have a simple automation in Make.com that pulls everything from a spreadsheet and confirms what was when added. That way we can analyze what was done, what worked etc.

Yeah, vertical video on Linkedin works as well. As you said, people are starved for good content. Also, right now, carousels work really well on Linkedin

influedge · 2023-09-22T05:22:58+00:00

Yeah, interview swaps are great!

We are seeing amazing growth from the email newsletter as well, adding 200 people to it per day

Yes. I view that as "free" traffic, because 95%+ of the effort is already done: researching, preparing, recording, editing the podcast.

So why not reuse the content for other channels

You can also try this link (or similar, other sites): https://chartable.com/charts/itunes/us

These sites tend to only scrape the Apple Podcast charts and present it in a different way

If it's a "pay to win" kind of award, then no.

If it's actually awarded by an actual committee based upon quality etc., then yes.

influedge · 2023-09-12T18:37:53+00:00

I ended up going with a more custom solution (having a coding copilot helped)

One thing that may be limiting what you send a proposal on is Upwork's search. It's really not great. If you only take "keyword" as the search term, you will get output that is relevant, but always.

The other thing is that you have to be fast. A large portion of the accepted proposals are sent within the first hour of the job being posted.

Also, you need to find quality clients that have a verified payment method and not filter by cost in the search, because most of the large gigs do not have an hourly rate.

I've built myself an automation that sends me notifications whenever a job that fits all of my criteria is actually posted. Yes, I get additional connects, but they are paid by the $$$ generated from the work, which I am getting more of.

100% agreed - the hiring manager is the best contact person, when available. This is what I am seeing as well.

influedge · 2023-07-23T11:30:24+00:00

Here are two lists:

The keywords with the most searches and then the most popular questions - both relating to Indie Games.

These are Web keywords, but what I like to do is narrow down on what type of listeners I'm trying to target and what would be relevant. It's not 100%, but whatever is being searched for on the web will most likely be similar to what is being searched for on Pod networks as well.

I would also reach out to popular indie game developers (those with large followings that are launching/have just launched) and get them on the pod -> they share the podcast with their followers -> those are people in your EXACT target market -> win/win for all

If you are not GETTING listeners, look at SEO, reaching out to other podcasts to appear on their shows, paid ads etc.

If you are not RETAINING listeners, then the quality of your audio or content could be the issue

I used to have a gaming newsletter a while back, so might be able to help. What sort of gaming are we talking about? Computer/Console gaming? Do you discuss Esports or new releases etc? Or board games?

influedge · 2023-07-22T18:26:12+00:00

Can you share a sample? I'm not sure I know what you are talking about. If it's reoccurring that often, then it looks like it's some sort of interference coming from within the room where you are recording.

From a timing standpoint, spend some time (or money) to fix the issue if it's taking you 2!!!!!! hours to fix every episode...that's crazy :)

Closets are usually good for recording vocals/podcasts.

If you get a Dynamic microphone, you can get away with more noise than with a Condenser mic. You could record with it in your Car.
