Importance of Understanding the 'Why' of Podcasting
When considering launching a podcast, the fundamental question to address is why choose this medium over others like blogs or events. Understanding the purpose of leveraging podcasting to achieve marketing key performance indicators (KPIs) and defining what success means in terms of brand awareness or customer engagement is crucial.
Creating Content That Resonates with the Audience
To build a podcast that resonates with the audience, start by identifying the problem faced by the target listeners and proposing a unique solution. By incorporating a hook, such as a big idea or a relevant trend, you can develop a compelling premise for the show. Validate the concept by launching a pilot season of four to six episodes to gauge audience engagement and interest.
Employee Involvement in Distribution Strategy
Involving employees early on in the distribution process can enhance the reach and impact of the podcast content. Aligning the distribution strategy with the podcast's goals and target audience is essential. Leveraging employee networks for promotion and adapting content for various platforms like LinkedIn can significantly broaden the podcast's visibility.
Post-Publishing Strategy and Stakeholder Engagement
Having a clear plan for post-publishing activities and stakeholder engagement is vital for maintaining podcast consistency and effectiveness. Prioritize quality interactions over quantity and customize distribution methods based on the podcast's objectives. Engaging stakeholders from different departments can enhance the overall impact and success of the podcast.
