PDS #77So many people get stuck on this. And let me tell you a story I did too early on, after spending weeks trying to name my second show.I realized there needs to be a better way to do this. So over the years I’ve borrowed ideas from smart people and modeled what seemed to work.So today here are 4 important things to consider when you are naming your show.Take into consideration your audience and what they are already listening to and what their goals, fears, verbiage, etc. And other factors.P.S.

PDS #76Starting a podcast sounds fun but often as you approach the launch a lot of people will tend to get timid about sharing their story and message with so many strangers.It happens very often. It happens to everyone. Even today as I was creating this video and podcasts, I had the same feeling of that little voice in the back of your head saying you cannot do it and who are you to advise people on podcasting.If you want to get validated by other people, you will never launch. You will never share anything of value with other people. Even when I was 23 and 24 years old, I had people emailing me with raving reviews about the concert I shared thanking me for being so generous and giving away such amazing helpful content.Before every one of those shows, I had self-doubt and felt like I wasn’t good enough.This is 100% normal and you shouldn’t let it stop you from sharing something. Now, there is a huge chance that I even say bad things.And that’s perfectly OKAY.Deploy these three strategies on your InterVoice telling you, you can’t do it.“You may not help all 10 people. If you help 3 people, had you not stepped out and did what you want to do?... You want to help other people.” - Luis DiazGet all my best tools, templates, guides HERE - www.Luisryan.com/bookConnect with me here >> - www.luisryan.com/contactJOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP! - https://www.facebook.com/groups/pdvipTimestamps: 0:59 - Your self-doubt on starting a podcast 3:13 - Position what you have to say as your journey or experience 4:19 - It’s not live, you can edit or delete it anyways 5:22 - Say that it’s only your opinion and be open to claim that you could be wrongConnect with Luis: Website Instagram Facebook Group FacebookCheck out the top 5 episodes here: Expert Secrets For Growing Your Podcast Audience with Yann Ilunga Unheard Ways To Market Your Podcast and Grow Your Audience with Ravi Jayagopal What WWE Wrestling Can Teach You About Storytelling in Podcasting with Celeste Bonin Intent Based Podcasting Insider Tips To Grow A Massive YouTube Channel with Mike Piet

I said it before, and I’ll repeat it. I am not original; however, I am a pretty good observer and good at identifying what works for a podcast. The secret that’s not so much of a mystery is the fact that marketing a podcast is like marketing a product. The same principles typically apply with just minor tweaks to fit the medium. However, today we're talking about two things that are too awesome podcasters are not using which I am positive will help you grow your show and increase your reach! This episode, will layout two things that I want you to try immediately. Also if you check out my Instagram you can see I’ve been doing a bit more of this as well. 😉 I won’t spoil these for you so make sure you listen to the episode.

The website is producthunt.com. Now, this website is normally used by the founders of tech companies and people who make apps and different online tools.
