The Ratings Revolution

Posted on March 31, 2016 (March 30, 2022) by rockthecast

“If you could do me a favor, leave a rating and review for my podcast on iTunes!” A very reasonable request from almost every podcaster out there. Unfortunately, when a host makes this request, there are some who will want to oblige by quickly jumping onto iTunes, giving 5 stars, and leaving a comment like “Love this show! You nailed it!” The kicker is, they have never even listened to an episode!

So, what we, as podcast consumers are left with are falsely inflated stats, disingenuous reviews, and no trusted forum for real podcast ratings. Friends, I think it’s high time for a ratings revolution…and the revolution starts with YOU. […]

Why You Need a One Sheet

Posted on March 17, 2016 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

Imagine going to the grocery store to buy a box of cereal. Instead of the colorful, descriptive boxes lining the shelves, all you find are plain brown boxes with price tags and a little note saying “The box of cereal is perfect for you!” It would be pretty hard to figure out which box was actually the one you wanted, right?

The same is true when you are pitching yourself as a guest expert without a one sheet. How is a host supposed to say YES without getting a good picture of who you are? A one sheet does just that. Its a one-page document that describes you as the great guest you are! It showcases your expertise in a concise and attractive way to let podcast hosts know who you are and what you have to offer their audience. If you’ve never seen a one sheet, here’s mine: […]

There are a lot of reasons why people get into podcasting, either as a host or a guest expert. Some people are looking to grow their businesses, some people are trying to establish themselves as an expert in their field, and some people just enjoy the medium! But no matter what your purpose is for podcasting, there is one key strategy that will help you be successful – making CONNECTIONS.

Podcasting has become such a personal medium. It’s incredible platform for networking with amazing people. My team and I had an fantastic time at Podfest recently, and the feeling of the event was more like a summer camp than a conference! Why? Because the network of podcasters engaging with each other was electric…and effective. […]

I’m Not Perfect & Neither Are You

Posted on March 3, 2015 by rockthecast

I filmed this episode in a moment of not feeling perfect whatsoever! My day was thrown off by the snowstorm and at 1:30pm I still had not opened my email. Instead of putting make up on, getting Nathan in front of the TV and pretending my day was sailing smoothly, I turned on the camera to bring you this very important lesson: I’m not perfect, and neither are you, and that is okay!
