    Starting a Podcast: Interview Show or Should You Be the Star?

In this video, we’re going to weigh the challenges and benefits of each approach. There is no right or wrong answer, but understanding the prep work that goes into each of these options will help you figure out which might be more feasible for you. Plus, we’ll even present you with option that’s a compromise between the two.      Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: 0:00 – Intro  1:22 – Why you want to define this 4:58 – Benefits of interview style 10:05 – Cons of the interview style 14:52 – Benefits of you being the star 17:53 – Cons of you being the star 21:42 – A compromise If you'd like to learn more about how Third Wheel Media helps business owners and entrepreneurs with their podcast, radio, and video needs, check us out here: http://thirdwheelmedia.com Ready to learn more?

    The Benefits of Short-Form Video

    Send us a text Video content continues to gain in popularity despite billions of people already using YouTube, but short-form video content has gained even more traction in recent years.  The rise of short-form video has been incredible over the past decade and it’s now become the most popular and effective social media content out right now.

More and more people are navigating towards the short video and businesses of all sizes must embrace the trend. We’ll tell you more about the benefits of producing short-form video content and why it’s worth considering for your company.     Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: 0:00 – Intro  1:20 – What is short-form video 2:18 – What the stats say 6:33 – Rethinking social promotion 10:17 – Examples of shorts we have produced  If you'd like to learn more about how Third Wheel Media helps business owners and entrepreneurs with their podcast, radio, and video needs, check us out here: http://thirdwheelmedia.com Ready to learn more?

    How Do You Define Success in Podcasting?

    Send us a text One of the most common questions we hear from people we work with and people who are thinking about jumping into the podcasting world is how do you define success?  Everyone wants to know if it's worth their time (and money) to produce a podcast. It's something everyone should evaluate, especially business owners who are using it as part of their marketing and educational efforts.  So we've brought Walter Storholt back on the show to give us his view on success and share the conversations we've had with clients who are trying to assess their success. There are three primary ways we view this discussion and much of it starts with what your goals are for the show.  Hopefully this show will provide a little clarity and give you a little more direction when it comes to what you want to get out of our podcasting efforts.
