In this episode of Adventures in Visibility, I’m pleased to welcome Jason T. Wiser. Recently Jason launched a podcast to accompany his popular Hangout show, Get on Track, Stay on Track. In order for a podcast to get traction these days, you’ve got to create a lot of buzz so you hit the New and Noteworthy chart in iTunes and get a lot of extra visibility.
In this show, Jason and I discuss how to successfully launch a podcast, what he did, how it worked and what he learned.
- Why host a podcast Party (or any contest)
- Understand your goals
- Why you need to set a clear budget
- The Process map for a successful launch
- Pitfalls and things Jason would do differently next time
- Immediate results and long term results of the podcast launch
Check out the event page for comments, questions and photos.
