Haven’t started yet! Doing some research first but it’s going to be a missionary based podcast, my husband works has a missionary on college campus so we wanted to bring that energy and knowledge online and share it that way as well
I’ve just started my podcast Infinity Freedom with 10 episodes. I’m a mindset and performance coach, it’s been fun entering the media world. Question? I’m using Anchor to deploy my content should I be using multiple platforms or a different service?
Brews N Bros is our laid back Podcast. We try 3 Beers and talk about a few quirky topics along the way. We launched last Christmas and although we are having a blast, we would love for more people to listen.
I had been podcasting since 2007 and two weeks ago I started a new series The Al Torcaso Experience. No I am not vain lol, my mentor says you don't meet Al Torcaso you experience him so, I said okay time for the Al Torcaso Experience. And it has been interesting. 😁😁. GREAT TIPS And video. Al Torcaso.
I just launched my podcast a week ago, it’s a safe space for us young adults to talk about everything we encounter as we navigate life. It’s fun and deep at the same time. Thank you for these tips!
Just started up a podcast, Inside the Tide, talking about unconventional parenting perspectives and tools for holistic self improvement for listeners. I'm a pediatric occupational therapist and new dad, and I found a lot of value in this video, especially when you covered being authentic! I think that's the biggest thing and sometimes it's easy to try to be somebody to please our audience versus the truest version of us. Thanks for the awesome content!
Literally just started my podcast 2 weeks ago. I look at it as ministering to people through everyday life. We talk about a wide range of issues people deal with day to day, that they don't usually talk about. I believe talking is healing. Just finished my 2nd episode Surviving Mothers day without your mom. This is for those of us who have lost their mother. I also have a prayer segment were I pray for different celebrities, instead of gossiping. (depending on what's in the news and on my heart)I'm super excited! it's called Let's Heal Queen. I need all the tips I can get. This was great advise. Thank You.
I can’t say how great this was for me!! I just started my podcast “Each one, Teach one” on Spotify and Apple. I served 14 years in the US Army and I had to medically retire early and now I want to help other service members who are coping with PTSD and other traumas know that they aren’t alone while inspiring them to tell their stories. So far so good, only a week in and I am having a great response from many people! Thank you so much for giving me the courage to tell my story on a platform.
Think Media never ceases to amaze me with all the wonderful tips and advice. I’ve been podcasting off and on for 12 years now. My most recent show, Wrestling with Fans Podcast, just passed 4 years and going strong!
These are all tremendous tips for podcasters both new and seasoned. The biggest thing to keep front of mind when it comes to growth is patience. As Heather said, keep going and keep consistently publishing valuable content and your show will become recommendable. If one listener recommends your show to one of their friends, colleagues, etc, you’re doing something right! Keep making remarkable episodes and growth will happen.
I just launched my TH-cam page for my podcast last week! It’s a safe place for women to talk about anything under the sun with a healed perspective! Men are also invited to chime in. I’m glad I came across your channel!
I've been hosting, producing and editing my podcast "Filthy Hope" for almost 18 months now, and really am only just starting to feel like I know what I'm doing! This video gave me so many great tools to help me level up big time over the next 100 episodes. Heather is absolutely right - I've uploaded a new episode every Friday without breaks since February, and that consistency has made all the difference for us. Thanks for the amazing content, you guys are amazing!
5 months into podcasting “Life Is Sound”…..we discuss mental health, breaking old patterns and becoming your best self. Podcasting is a lot of work but also a lot of fun. We are currently on episode 011 🙌🏼
This is legit!!! I speak on mental health and ptsd as a soldier on my podcast to help the next generation of leaders and young ppl be successful on their journey while allowing guest to come on and tell their story 🙌🏾
That’s awesome! Keep it up! I have a similar podcast where the focus is on sharing the stories of veterans and their family members. Not just the combat stories but also how life in the military has affected them and what challenges they are facing and what they are doing to overcome their struggles.
@@TheMontiExperienceme too! lol. I’m an OIF vet, my goal is to share veterans stories and how life in the military affected the service member and their loved ones! I’ll give you a follow!
I started a blog (with podcasts) in 2021. My niche is careers and personal development. Very shortly I'm going to be reaching out to my network to find guests for my next podcast series. I'm looking forward to getting behind the mic again. Loved the tip about having a podcast schedule.
Awesome tips. I use Google sheets to plan out my schedule and am 1 month ahead for my daily podcast. Have incorporated your channels tips since launching 2 and a half years ago and am top 1% globally (trying to catch you guys up on 0.5% 😎👍) Researching trends in your niche really helps so that you stay on top of what your audience really wants . Thank you for all your continued help
I just relaunched my podcast. It's called Just To Kick It Is A Blessing which basically means just to be alive is a blessing. The podcast focuses on teaching, motivating and inspiring the audience through storytelling that no matter where you are or what you are going through, the fact that you are alive is a blessing.
Just started the Surviving Second Gen podcast. It’s about the mental health impacts of being a second generation immigrant. There’s 5 episodes up on Apple and Spotify as well as my TH-cam. Super excited about it!!
This has honestly helped so much! Thank you. Me and my best friend have not long started doing our dream podcast based on true crime, unsolved mysteries, paranormal encounter and disappearances. We take old cases and discuss them but we also have pages where our listeners post their stories for us to later discuss in future episodes. This podcast is very personal to myself as I've had a disappearance / unsolved mystery in my family so being able to shine the little light we have on other cases is what I've always wanted to do. But we also personalise is by doing what we do best and going off topic, adding a touch of dark humour where we can, and genuinely being left with so many theories after the episode. Our name "At Sixes and Sevens" means to be in a state of disarray or confusion which is what the main theme of the show is. Hope some of yall might find it interesting and maybe even give it a listen
I just launched my podcast in March this year and it has helped me so much through self discovery and my podcast helps people find there growth and understand self discovery and self love
Amazing video! Thank you Heather! I launched my Podcast about 2,5 weeks ago, and my Podcast is about self-improvement and being an artist and music. Since I’m a music producer and performer I have realised how much personal development has to do with my artistic being. Also I do use my platform to invite guests that can share inspiring life stories and I am so thankful to have the opportunity to be doing this! 🙏🏼
Great tips! But if you're really going to be a full-time podcaster, I recommend hiring a podcast manager, not a virtual assistant or someone random 😉 The experience is COMPLETELY different. As a podcast manager, I handle every task that is related to podcasting. All my clients have to do it press record & I do the rest 😊
Wow, big up to you Heather, and to Sean! I love the whole style on the channel, and I totally trust your advice! When I started watching Sean about 4 years ago, (when I decided to have a go at a TH-cam channel) I followed Sean to the letter on equipment, and almost everything else. And I grew the channel to 30K subs, but I stopped a few years ago. But now I'm getting into the whole Podcasting thing, so I started researching on TH-cam, and Heather pops up, and wow, great advice! It's like coming back to an old friend and consultant! And someone who really practices what he preaches! When I started watching you, ThinkMedia was shooting for a million subs. Now it 2.3 mil! Congratulations! And a sincere thank you for helping me navigate the currents. Respect :)
Valuable advice - thanks! We’ve just started Two Geeks One Cup - a True-Nerd Podcast like a week ago. Can’t wait to record episode 2 this upcoming Saturday (it’s weekly).
Hey, thank you so much to you Heather, and also to all the people in the comments section sharing their stories. It is really inspiring to read through information about your podcasts!
Another good episode! I record my interview based shows on video and publish to my Titans of Transition TH-cam channel then repurpose to audio podcasts. I also use Buzzsprout. My show is focused on career and life transitions. My interviews are with people from all walks of life and careers who bring inspiring stories and have lessons learned to share and encourage. I think more and more creators are going this dual publishing route so a deeper dive into this model would be a great episode idea for think media. I do recall some discussion from you all on this but revisiting it more specifically would be great. Thanks again for all the value you bring!
Love this! My best friend and I started our Christian, women’s podcast last year. The Wildflower Podcast! It’s been great so far, but trying to take it to the next level this year!
The Okay, Team Podcast is for young designers who are new or getting into the industry. We're 3 designers in 3 different fields and 3 different levels of education sharing what we've learned over the years. Thank you so much for sharing this information.
I started my podcast The DARU Project over the summer. Currently getting ready to record Episode 23. I talk about God, the Universe, philosophy, life and associated topics. I’ve discovered so much about myself and others by doing this. I love it!
Me and my best friend of 20 years release the podcast MLU THE Show about 2 years ago. We took a pause to but are back on with 3 episodes in. The podcast covers life from the perspective of young black husbands and fathers. It’s already been a great ride. Tap in!
I recently launched my podcast, and I am really excited for the journey! Thanks for sharing your advice. EcoVisionaries: Conversations with the Leaders, Inventors, and Champions Shaping the Sustainable Future
Still learning to improve the running and providing great content for students. It's been tough but good thing we still pushing. We having a students mental, emotional and psychological well-being podcast where we talk about literally everything that affects students. I've learned a lot from this episode and definitely going to implement it all. Thank you think media🔥🔥
Thanks for the tips! Great content! I just launched my podcast and TH-cam and yes I have things to learn but I really enjoy the process. and when I receive messages saying I’ve inspired listeners it makes it so worth it! Foxtrot Uniform is on a mission to share the stories of veterans and their familes. And to advocate for veterans/veterans families so they may get the help they need.
Great video! I started my podcast earlier this year, which is about personal finance tips. It's definitely hands down my favorite topic, and I can talk about so many things on this topic. Right now it's all just me, but I have definitely been thinking about interviewing other people. Thanks again!
Hello. I did start a podcast. It is called The Pochcast. We just finished season 1 with 31 episodes and we have already recorded 10 new episodes for season 2. About 85% of the podcasts I am sitting and talking with content creators. Getting to know them, where they started and where they are going in this field. I love talking with people and this has been a great way to share their experiences with so many others. About 15% of the podcasts are a group of us reviewing really bad movies and having a blast doing it. We spend so much time laughing and watching the bad movies, so you don't have to. I love doing this podcast and plan to do it for a very long time. Thank you for your videos. They are so much help to me. I am still figuring out how this all works.
I'm pre-launch on my podcast, but have the first episode recorded and ready! My bestie and I are setting up a private network for Christian women who are on a mission to be found faithful. In the network there will be different groups for different areas of stewardship, such as health, marriage, homemaking, finances, faith walk, etc. As a part of the faith walk part specifically, we are going to be doing a chronological group Bible study podcast. Basically, community members will have the opportunity to discuss each reading portion in the group, and then the podcast will follow as a recap of all of the best gems and nuggets that came out of that discussion. We are also going to be logging all of the differing perspectives / doctrinal differences as we go through scripture into topical directories that members will be able to comment on, and add their evidence to different perspectives of the "slow debates." We are especially excited to do the study chronological style... Reading the Bible in order of events as opposed to just the cannon order is a TOTALLY different experience!
Just launched my pod “Skulls & SoundWaves” and it’s authentic, deep, funny- but most importantly it’s about telling stories through sound. As an audio engineer I try my best to make our conversations into art; with music and sound effects. Just wrapped up recording episode 3 and I’m obsessed with making this podcast now. However, the editing process is my favorite part because I get to be at peak creativity and really leave my mark on it. and if anything I’d hire people to edit clips/shorts. Great video though! Thank you!
Doing a new podcast for drummers. The Drummer's Confluence is a community of drummers helping each other advance their drumcraft for live performances. Moving into promotion phase now.
Great info and love your approach, speed of talking and use of hands. Similar personality so this hit me perfectly! I thought I was too "spaztic" for podcast but it's ME so I wont change a thing. Thank you!
I record a few days before and schedule publishing so I never miss an episode. I had a couple times something came up or I got sick, and I learned my lesson fast lol
I'm not starting my own podcast, but I am starting a podcast producing business to help podcasters. Editing will be the majority of the offering. I'd love to help people with tip #6! 😀
I'm assisting my husband and our friend with growing their podcast that they just launched. The name of the podcast is "Mean and Joe show" and it's a comedic podcast with insight into things that are going on around us, hilarious stories between the two of them and more. I'm hoping to help grow the podcast and found this video very insightful! I have taken over the social media aspect of things and the behind the scenes work, to help them be able to just do what they do best and that is create!
love this! I just launched my TH-cam podcast, The Empowered Era, and I create a safe space where my listeners and guest are all empowered from within. Your tips are so helpful and confirming that I am ont he right track!
This is helpful, I just started my podcast “23.24.25” and I’d love to grow an audience of twentysomethings ruminating on the things we loved about the past as we grow into the future ♥️ just trying to plan out how to let more people know we exist!
I really hope you stepped out on faith and chased your dreams!! I just started mine about a week ago due to me feeling like no one wanted to hear a simple soldiers perspective on what I had been through and dealing with PTSD. I decided that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!! Best decision I’ve made outside of having my children and raising my right hand
My podcast is something I’m putting together currently but the plan is the be a podcast about my interest! I love to talk to people and learn new things and get new perspectives on things I already know! I’m not sure how I’m gonna structure this but the idea has been firing NONSTOP in my head for the past few weeks, can’t wait to get the set up and get started
Your tips are so helpful. Thank you so much for your input! My podcast is just beginning (only 16 episodes!) and it's so much fun. I get to interview Christian professors using questions from college students; we call it Meet The Prof, with Shane and Spence. So thank you again for sharing the golden nuggets of advice! Shane
I just launched my podcast, "Embrace and Simplify You." The goal is to provide practical strategies to navigate some of the challenges we face with adulting. Thanks for your tips. I will definitely try some of these strategies.
My dads podcast is real and authentic! It could be a struggle to grow without any social media since he isn’t comfortable having! So thank you for this video!! It’s called Iron Faith Podcast!
I launched my podcast 5 weeks ago and I published 5 episodes. It’s called Age Has No Limit to inspire people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and older to redesign their lives to live life on their own terms (travel, enjoy their empty nest, start a business, etc).
I do a book podcast in conjunction with a youtube channel, and I also host the Cozy Christmas Podcast - I've been podcasting for about 2 years now and a lot of these tips are things I've learned to do! Thanks for sharing this and I love the encouragement to just keep going.
My podcast name is Mystery Stone Podcast, found on most platforms. Currently we've been putting out content for a few years now. It entails educated and philosophical talks on broad ranges including spirituality, esotericism, cultural traditions, history, and the occult. Thanks to all who give a listen and best of luck to all!
I will definitely try my best to be consistent. The mistake I made was trying to release episodes every Wednesday. After 8 months of trying to upload weekly, I'm finding Tuesday is much easier for my work schedule. My podcast is all about movies and tv show episodes I can't stop rewatching. Very nostalgic, but my listener count is very tiny. Double digits. Hopefully it grows soon, I love podcasting! (This is the TH-cam channel for the podcast.)
Thanks for these tips. I finally launched my podcast last week. It’s called ‘Stop Being Busy’ and is all about finding a balance between fitness, health, self-employment and being a new dad. So far, I’m really enjoying the podcast experience 😊
Thanks so much for these useful tips. I just launched my podcast recently, (through Buzzsprout, and also on all major podcast apps) and I have not yet shared with many people who know me as I’m still working through the comfort level of sharing such a personal creation. Once I get more comfortable with it, I will open it up to people who know me. But I agree I need to start sharing and getting it out there My podcast is called The Finding Sessions, where I share my journey from transitioning out of a corporate career, the next phase of life where I’m realizing that I never really had balance in my life, and I was tightly wound all the time. This is a journey where I share a thoughts and reflections on various topics with a bit of a meditative message at the end, I love photography, and my intention is that everything created under The Finding Sessions will include my own photography and sanctuary for everything positive.
Love you guys. Great tips. My show has grown to top 5% on Apple. Love it. I've used lots of the tips you've shared. Valuable content !!!! Loving it :)) "Leadership Powered by Common Sense"
I made a podcast a couple months ago and it went crazy hitting #2 in Sweden and #9 in USA podcast rankings. I haven’t advertised or done anything for more people and it racked up 20,000 in audience size. It took 4 months to reach that. I started it when Spotify allowed ads on podcasts and then when i was able to turn it on the next day they updated it so that i couldn’t.
I just started a podcast actually called the Let’s Talk About It Podcast. I created it because I realized I wanted to have meaningful conversations about topics related to navigating life in our 20s, growing up, and learning as I go.
We started a podcast Feb 2024 - we talk about Lesser Known Facts in National Parks one week, then haunted places you can stay and legends at that National Park the following week. It’s called, The Lesser Known Pod! Thanks for the tips! Will follow :)
That was great advise, I feel I do most of those things but still haven't reached a big crowd. I have 23 episodes (2 Seasons) about people who move to a new country and their experiences and choices. It's called Worlds Collide but I will keep going. I enjoy doing it, it's great fun!
Heather thank you great content. I've been following think media for a while now and you've helped to this point steadly moving forward slowly be surely. My podcast is Audio as well as TH-cam to be honest it is tough going to edit both however I've developed through trial and error still learning. My podcast is Mornings with Pleas' the podcast about Health and Wellness, lifestyle and inspiration. You all helped me get started
Thanks for sharing these tips! I run the I Can't Sleep Podcast and am trying to figure out what's missing for helping it get in front of more listeners. I think it might be time to hire some people to help out with certain tasks and push myself to make that happen. Thanks again!
Sahil here, I'm from India and started a podcast just a few days ago, Your tips are so useful to me thanks for these video.. My podcast named The sahil says on Spotify and I'm creating a self awareness storys which help peoples to know better there selves and how to be a better person them self.. My podcast journey is start just but i will scale it soon and I'm sure I will help peoples by sharing my thoughts and experience Yup everybody wonder when they listen that I'm just 19 years old and sharing these kinda contents.. I think the knowledge is remain until it helpful to others so i make it happen by podcasting
Thank you for the tips! My podcast just started and we have published 9 episodes so far. Its called Nightmare Echoes and new episodes come out every Monday morning. I have three co-host which rotate through to discuss different movies in the horror or horror adjacent realm.
My best friend and I just launched our podcast "The Root of all Random" and its a comedy podcast where we just talk about anything and everything!! Its been so fun so far and its also very fun to be able to hear some more of these tips we can use to be able to continue and grow our platform!!!
My friends and I just started a new podcast titled GAH Dayum and we are very new to content creation and have been struggling to find new listeners, this is very informative!
Started our podcast a while ago but have been serious about it for about a year. Safe space for cosplayers, cosplay enthusiasts and all those into entertainment and pop culture.
Enjoyed the video. We are about to start ours back up as life required a pause. Sheer & Utter Nonsense... Comedy based that covers all the nonsense and humor in our lives and on the internet.
This is what is called a "timeless" content. Here is my own tip and it mirrors what Heather is saying. My blog site is the central hub for what I create. Hold on! When I'm done with the writing or nearly done, I'll turn around anc create a TH-cam video to complement the blog post. Later, I'll upload the YT video to my podcasting host. For me, it's Anchor. same principle. As the crew have pointed out, I'm simply repurposing the video for both TH-cam and for the odcasting. I don't know about Buzzsprout but I'm sure they'll let you upload the video and take care of distributing the audio portion. It's called streamlining the process and letting the one content, my blog pst be on all three platforms.
I haven’t started yet I’m definitely procrastinating. I have a very successful business and a good following on that business page, but podcasting is something I think I’ll be a natural at. I’m a little nervous and excited
I’ve had a podcast for about 6 months now. I do whiskey content. Including interviews and nerdy in-depth process content. It’s growing a bit. Like dory says just keep swimming.
My podcast started 5 months ago. I was doing it with a friend at first but recently changed to a guest and single host format. As the name says I talk about what ever comes to mind with people doing cool things in my city from comedians to DJs to Professional Wrestlers I talk nonsense with everyone.
This was a fantastic and very helpful video! I believe it will help me in my podcasting go very far. My podcast is about agricultural irrigation and some of the issues surrounding irrigation in farming. Keep putting out great content, I sure appreciate it.

When I started watching Sean about 4 years ago, (when I decided to have a go at a TH-cam channel) I followed Sean to the letter on equipment, and almost everything else. And I grew the channel to 30K subs, but I stopped a few years ago. But now I'm getting into the whole Podcasting thing, so I started researching on TH-cam, and Heather pops up, and wow, great advice! It's like coming back to an old friend and consultant! And someone who really practices what he preaches! When I started watching you, ThinkMedia was shooting for a million subs. Now it 2.3 mil! Congratulations! And a sincere thank you for helping me navigate the currents. Respect :)
Valuable advice - thanks! We’ve just started Two Geeks One Cup - a True-Nerd Podcast like a week ago. Can’t wait to record episode 2 this upcoming Saturday (it’s weekly).
Hey, thank you so much to you Heather, and also to all the people in the comments section sharing their stories. It is really inspiring to read through information about your podcasts!
Just started my own pod on becoming your best self, living your dream life and getting your shit together! Thank you for these tips!
Another good episode! I record my interview based shows on video and publish to my Titans of Transition TH-cam channel then repurpose to audio podcasts. I also use Buzzsprout. My show is focused on career and life transitions. My interviews are with people from all walks of life and careers who bring inspiring stories and have lessons learned to share and encourage. I think more and more creators are going this dual publishing route so a deeper dive into this model would be a great episode idea for think media. I do recall some discussion from you all on this but revisiting it more specifically would be great. Thanks again for all the value you bring!
Hi Joe. Nice to meet you! I'm in the careers space too 🙂
I do something similar: multistreaming live then repurpose into podcast and video snippets :)
Love the tips! Having a Christian podcast presents a the challenge of analyzing your motives every episode, making sure we are doing personal gain!
Love this! My best friend and I started our Christian, women’s podcast last year. The Wildflower Podcast! It’s been great so far, but trying to take it to the next level this year!
The Okay, Team Podcast is for young designers who are new or getting into the industry. We're 3 designers in 3 different fields and 3 different levels of education sharing what we've learned over the years. Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Make it happen podcast! It’s about being the best version of you and how to design a life.
I started my podcast The DARU Project over the summer. Currently getting ready to record Episode 23. I talk about God, the Universe, philosophy, life and associated topics. I’ve discovered so much about myself and others by doing this. I love it!
Me and my best friend of 20 years release the podcast MLU THE Show about 2 years ago. We took a pause to but are back on with 3 episodes in. The podcast covers life from the perspective of young black husbands and fathers. It’s already been a great ride. Tap in!
I recently launched my podcast, and I am really excited for the journey! Thanks for sharing your advice.
EcoVisionaries: Conversations with the Leaders, Inventors, and Champions Shaping the Sustainable Future
Still learning to improve the running and providing great content for students. It's been tough but good thing we still pushing. We having a students mental, emotional and psychological well-being podcast where we talk about literally everything that affects students. I've learned a lot from this episode and definitely going to implement it all. Thank you think media🔥🔥
Love you all Think Media.
Thanks for the tips! Great content!
I just launched my podcast and TH-cam and yes I have things to learn but I really enjoy the process. and when I receive messages saying I’ve inspired listeners it makes it so worth it!
Foxtrot Uniform is on a mission to share the stories of veterans and their familes. And to advocate for veterans/veterans families so they may get the help they need.
I am a podcast manager and i agree with you hiring someone for your podcast is the best flex.
Great video! I started my podcast earlier this year, which is about personal finance tips. It's definitely hands down my favorite topic, and I can talk about so many things on this topic. Right now it's all just me, but I have definitely been thinking about interviewing other people. Thanks again!
Hello. I did start a podcast. It is called The Pochcast. We just finished season 1 with 31 episodes and we have already recorded 10 new episodes for season 2. About 85% of the podcasts I am sitting and talking with content creators. Getting to know them, where they started and where they are going in this field. I love talking with people and this has been a great way to share their experiences with so many others. About 15% of the podcasts are a group of us reviewing really bad movies and having a blast doing it. We spend so much time laughing and watching the bad movies, so you don't have to. I love doing this podcast and plan to do it for a very long time. Thank you for your videos. They are so much help to me. I am still figuring out how this all works.
I'm pre-launch on my podcast, but have the first episode recorded and ready! My bestie and I are setting up a private network for Christian women who are on a mission to be found faithful. In the network there will be different groups for different areas of stewardship, such as health, marriage, homemaking, finances, faith walk, etc. As a part of the faith walk part specifically, we are going to be doing a chronological group Bible study podcast. Basically, community members will have the opportunity to discuss each reading portion in the group, and then the podcast will follow as a recap of all of the best gems and nuggets that came out of that discussion. We are also going to be logging all of the differing perspectives / doctrinal differences as we go through scripture into topical directories that members will be able to comment on, and add their evidence to different perspectives of the "slow debates." We are especially excited to do the study chronological style... Reading the Bible in order of events as opposed to just the cannon order is a TOTALLY different experience!
This sounds great I would love to listen to it what’s the name of it?
I started on as well.
Just launched my pod “Skulls & SoundWaves” and it’s authentic, deep, funny- but most importantly it’s about telling stories through sound. As an audio engineer I try my best to make our conversations into art; with music and sound effects. Just wrapped up recording episode 3 and I’m obsessed with making this podcast now. However, the editing process is my favorite part because I get to be at peak creativity and really leave my mark on it. and if anything I’d hire people to edit clips/shorts. Great video though! Thank you!
Doing a new podcast for drummers. The Drummer's Confluence is a community of drummers helping each other advance their drumcraft for live performances. Moving into promotion phase now.
Great info and love your approach, speed of talking and use of hands. Similar personality so this hit me perfectly! I thought I was too "spaztic" for podcast but it's ME so I wont change a thing. Thank you!
I record a few days before and schedule publishing so I never miss an episode. I had a couple times something came up or I got sick, and I learned my lesson fast lol
I'm not starting my own podcast, but I am starting a podcast producing business to help podcasters. Editing will be the majority of the offering. I'd love to help people with tip #6! 😀
Thanks for sharing valuable information. No podcast of yet. Have a great day. Happy Monday!!❤🎉😊
I'm assisting my husband and our friend with growing their podcast that they just launched. The name of the podcast is "Mean and Joe show" and it's a comedic podcast with insight into things that are going on around us, hilarious stories between the two of them and more. I'm hoping to help grow the podcast and found this video very insightful! I have taken over the social media aspect of things and the behind the scenes work, to help them be able to just do what they do best and that is create!
love this! I just launched my TH-cam podcast, The Empowered Era, and I create a safe space where my listeners and guest are all empowered from within. Your tips are so helpful and confirming that I am ont he right track!
This is helpful, I just started my podcast “23.24.25” and I’d love to grow an audience of twentysomethings ruminating on the things we loved about the past as we grow into the future ♥️ just trying to plan out how to let more people know we exist!
Thinking of creating a podcast, thank you for these videos. Really inspiring and educating, much love from here
I really hope you stepped out on faith and chased your dreams!! I just started mine about a week ago due to me feeling like no one wanted to hear a simple soldiers perspective on what I had been through and dealing with PTSD. I decided that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!! Best decision I’ve made outside of having my children and raising my right hand
Informative... Thank you ThinkMedia
Thanks, Heather. Really informative and engaging!
My podcast is something I’m putting together currently but the plan is the be a podcast about my interest! I love to talk to people and learn new things and get new perspectives on things I already know! I’m not sure how I’m gonna structure this but the idea has been firing NONSTOP in my head for the past few weeks, can’t wait to get the set up and get started
Your tips are so helpful. Thank you so much for your input! My podcast is just beginning (only 16 episodes!) and it's so much fun. I get to interview Christian professors using questions from college students; we call it Meet The Prof, with Shane and Spence. So thank you again for sharing the golden nuggets of advice! Shane
I just launched my podcast, "Embrace and Simplify You." The goal is to provide practical strategies to navigate some of the challenges we face with adulting. Thanks for your tips. I will definitely try some of these strategies.
My dads podcast is real and authentic! It could be a struggle to grow without any social media since he isn’t comfortable having! So thank you for this video!! It’s called Iron Faith Podcast!
Thanks for this info I’m currently pushing my podcast to the next level and just needed more clarification for reaching my target 🎯 audience
I launched my podcast 5 weeks ago and I published 5 episodes. It’s called Age Has No Limit to inspire people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and older to redesign their lives to live life on their own terms (travel, enjoy their empty nest, start a business, etc).
I manage a podcast that helps people become better leaders. These tips are very helpful. Thank you
I do a book podcast in conjunction with a youtube channel, and I also host the Cozy Christmas Podcast - I've been podcasting for about 2 years now and a lot of these tips are things I've learned to do! Thanks for sharing this and I love the encouragement to just keep going.
My podcast name is Mystery Stone Podcast, found on most platforms. Currently we've been putting out content for a few years now. It entails educated and philosophical talks on broad ranges including spirituality, esotericism, cultural traditions, history, and the occult. Thanks to all who give a listen and best of luck to all!
I will definitely try my best to be consistent. The mistake I made was trying to release episodes every Wednesday. After 8 months of trying to upload weekly, I'm finding Tuesday is much easier for my work schedule. My podcast is all about movies and tv show episodes I can't stop rewatching. Very nostalgic, but my listener count is very tiny. Double digits. Hopefully it grows soon, I love podcasting! (This is the TH-cam channel for the podcast.)
Great Video By the way definitely going to apply these things in my podcast Thanks so much very appreciated!
Thanks for these tips. I finally launched my podcast last week. It’s called ‘Stop Being Busy’ and is all about finding a balance between fitness, health, self-employment and being a new dad. So far, I’m really enjoying the podcast experience 😊
ooooh gonna have to check it out! hope it's going well
So far so good!! It’s a good way for me to stay accountable for myself
Thanks so much for these useful tips. I just launched my podcast recently, (through Buzzsprout, and also on all major podcast apps) and I have not yet shared with many people who know me as I’m still working through the comfort level of sharing such a personal creation. Once I get more comfortable with it, I will open it up to people who know me. But I agree I need to start sharing and getting it out there My podcast is called The Finding Sessions, where I share my journey from transitioning out of a corporate career, the next phase of life where I’m realizing that I never really had balance in my life, and I was tightly wound all the time. This is a journey where I share a thoughts and reflections on various topics with a bit of a meditative message at the end, I love photography, and my intention is that everything created under The Finding Sessions will include my own photography and sanctuary for everything positive.
Nice! Thanks for the nuggets 💪🏾♥️🏁
Love you guys. Great tips. My show has grown to top 5% on Apple. Love it. I've used lots of the tips you've shared. Valuable content !!!! Loving it :)) "Leadership Powered by Common Sense"
I made a podcast a couple months ago and it went crazy hitting #2 in Sweden and #9 in USA podcast rankings.
I haven’t advertised or done anything for more people and it racked up 20,000 in audience size. It took 4 months to reach that. I started it when Spotify allowed ads on podcasts and then when i was able to turn it on the next day they updated it so that i couldn’t.
These are great tips! Can’t wait to see how things goes💃🏽
Quality information in today's world is priceless 🙂
Wonderful and practical advice! I help people through toxic relationships with faith-based mindset. Overcome Evil With Good
You're the Best Heather. Thank you so much as I am starting my podcast ❤
You inspired me into starting a new channel, keep up with the great job ❤️
I just started a podcast actually called the Let’s Talk About It Podcast. I created it because I realized I wanted to have meaningful conversations about topics related to navigating life in our 20s, growing up, and learning as I go.
This video is so helpful thank you! My podcast is about evolving within and reflecting it back to the world to truly change it ❤️
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
We started a podcast Feb 2024 - we talk about Lesser Known Facts in National Parks one week, then haunted places you can stay and legends at that National Park the following week.
It’s called, The Lesser Known Pod!
Thanks for the tips! Will follow :)
Thank you!! 👏👏👏 Very helpful!
Thank you so much this has really helped me. I am trying to build my podcast and TH-cam at the same time so this is really good advice
That was great advise, I feel I do most of those things but still haven't reached a big crowd. I have 23 episodes (2 Seasons) about people who move to a new country and their experiences and choices. It's called Worlds Collide but I will keep going. I enjoy doing it, it's great fun!
Heather thank you great content. I've been following think media for a while now and you've helped to this point steadly moving forward slowly be surely. My podcast is Audio as well as TH-cam to be honest it is tough going to edit both however I've developed through trial and error still learning. My podcast is Mornings with Pleas' the podcast about Health and Wellness, lifestyle and inspiration. You all helped me get started
Am bout to launch my entertain , media rating podcast these tips are really helping
Awesome information. My show is in need of it now. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing these tips! I run the I Can't Sleep Podcast and am trying to figure out what's missing for helping it get in front of more listeners. I think it might be time to hire some people to help out with certain tasks and push myself to make that happen. Thanks again!
These are absolutely amazing tips! 🤩
Sahil here, I'm from India and started a podcast just a few days ago,
Your tips are so useful to me thanks for these video.. My podcast named The sahil says on Spotify and I'm creating a self awareness storys which help peoples to know better there selves and how to be a better person them self..
My podcast journey is start just but i will scale it soon and I'm sure I will help peoples by sharing my thoughts and experience
Yup everybody wonder when they listen that I'm just 19 years old and sharing these kinda contents..
I think the knowledge is remain until it helpful to others so i make it happen by podcasting
Wow. Amazing. Keep posting the Goodness....
Greatly appreciate this segment 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the tips! My podcast just started and we have published 9 episodes so far. Its called Nightmare Echoes and new episodes come out every Monday morning. I have three co-host which rotate through to discuss different movies in the horror or horror adjacent realm.
My best friend and I just launched our podcast "The Root of all Random" and its a comedy podcast where we just talk about anything and everything!! Its been so fun so far and its also very fun to be able to hear some more of these tips we can use to be able to continue and grow our platform!!!
Awesome advice. Thanks for great content
My friends and I just started a new podcast titled GAH Dayum and we are very new to content creation and have been struggling to find new listeners, this is very informative!
Started our podcast a while ago but have been serious about it for about a year. Safe space for cosplayers, cosplay enthusiasts and all those into entertainment and pop culture.
Appreciate the information you provide; it's useful. Thank you.
Enjoyed the video. We are about to start ours back up as life required a pause. Sheer & Utter Nonsense... Comedy based that covers all the nonsense and humor in our lives and on the internet.
It looks more like promotional video than informative. Please keep it as simple as possible and genuine
This is what is called a "timeless" content. Here is my own tip and it mirrors what Heather is saying. My blog site is the central hub for what I create. Hold on! When I'm done with the writing or nearly done, I'll turn around anc create a TH-cam video to complement the blog post. Later, I'll upload the YT video to my podcasting host. For me, it's Anchor. same principle. As the crew have pointed out, I'm simply repurposing the video for both TH-cam and for the odcasting. I don't know about Buzzsprout but I'm sure they'll let you upload the video and take care of distributing the audio portion. It's called streamlining the process and letting the one content, my blog pst be on all three platforms.
We are a Disney Podcast! We appreciate this info! Definitely going to be more accessible to the fans!
Great information Heather ! Thanks
I haven’t started yet I’m definitely procrastinating. I have a very successful business and a good following on that business page, but podcasting is something I think I’ll be a natural at. I’m a little nervous and excited
I’ve had a podcast for about 6 months now. I do whiskey content. Including interviews and nerdy in-depth process content. It’s growing a bit. Like dory says just keep swimming.
My podcast started 5 months ago. I was doing it with a friend at first but recently changed to a guest and single host format.
As the name says I talk about what ever comes to mind with people doing cool things in my city from comedians to DJs to Professional Wrestlers I talk nonsense with everyone.
Thanks for the awesome tips.
This was a fantastic and very helpful video!
I believe it will help me in my podcasting go very far.
My podcast is about agricultural irrigation and some of the issues surrounding irrigation in farming.
Keep putting out great content, I sure appreciate it.
