Ash and Kane give a quick overview of the 12 hour ban on TikTok in the U.S. They share the reasons behind the U.S. doing this, why there was then a U-turn and the impact TikTok has had on the content space and social media landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS TikTok was banned by Congress, they called it a propaganda machine and said it was being used by China to spy on America. There are some conspiracies that say Congress sought to gain from banning TikTok as they hold shares in American competition. TikTok has transformed the social media landscape, they are being copied across multiple platforms, including YouTube releasing shorts and Instagram reels. 39% of American businesses state TikTok is essential to the running of their business and over 7 million companies rely on it for marketing and sales. It’s important as a creator to be across platforms as there are variables in their performance, you need to be in the right place at the right time to benefit. BEST MOMENTS “Congress banned it, they said it was a propaganda machine” “Everyone is copying TikTok now” “TikTok has become the number 1 search engine for gen-z” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

    All About Spotify’s New Partner Programme PLUS New Discoverability Feature

    Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Ash and Kane talk about Spotify’s new partner programme. They give the lowdown on how the programme will work for monetisation, the thresholds they will put in place and how it compares to other platforms. They also share other ways you can monetise that may be more worthwhile. KEY TAKEAWAYS The creator will get 50% of the revenue for ads if they meet the listener threshold. To access the programme, you will need at least 10k streamed hours on Spotify and 2k unique Spotify users a month. This is a much higher threshold than other platforms. It’s easier to monetise on YouTube, you need half the amount and have a year to achieve it and also get paid more! Direct sponsorships should make you way more money than something like this programme, this should be for supplementary income. Spotify has also introduced a feed which will be great for discoverability. BEST MOMENTS “Creators get 50% of revenue for ads sold” “YouTube is also significantly easier to become eligible needing 4000 streamed hours in the last year and 1000 subscribers” “You’re getting maybe £10 CPM but you have to get ridiculous numbers to get there in the first place” “One thing Spotify have introduced that is good is discoverability” “Podcasters want two things, listeners and money” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

    Why Start a Podcast in 2025?

    Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Ash and Kane talk about why you should start a podcast in 2025. They share the many reasons you should be podcasting in 2025, including what's new, the best way to leverage AI in your podcast and the unique things you can do to make your content more discoverable.   KEY TAKEAWAYS On video platforms, the quality of content and its performance with the algorithm is becoming much more important than follower numbers and subscribers.  It used to take multiple years to become notable on social media as you have to have a large audience before you got noticed, now you can get noticed first with great content and the numbers follow. When it comes to monetisation, the quality of the listener is just as important as the audience size. A new show gives you the opportunity to build your audience based on your initial content. Older shows may struggle with a mix of audience feedback which can impact their reach to new listeners/users. Whilst your content should always put your audience first, there are small things you can do to help you with the algorithm at the same time, like your titles and thumbnails. Most podcasters are using AI in some capacity. One of the best ways to use it is for research, but it can also be used on small tasks to free your time to be spent on the more important elements and get more creative. AI tools are being incorporated into more and more software, making production and the tasks associated with creating a podcast quicker and easier. Year after year, more money is being pushed into podcasting, by 2032 it’s predicted that the podcasting industry will be worth 130 billion to 250 billion. BEST MOMENTS “What is becoming less important is follower numbers and subscribers” “You can post a video, and it will show it to whoever it thinks should see it on the for you page ” “There’s actually a bit of an advantage if you’re just starting out” “Make it for the audience, not the algorithm” “The first 30 seconds, as well as the title and thumbnail of a YouTube video, is more important than the rest of the content in terms of getting in front of people” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

    We f*cked up... | What to do when you have no episodes recorded?

    Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Ash and Kane talk about how they managed a difficult period over the past few weeks where they were unable to record new episodes. They give tips on how you can plan for unforeseen circumstances and keep your podcast consistent when life happens and you can’t press record! KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s better to rerelease old episodes than to not release anything at all. Look at episodes that are still relevant or that performed particularly well. When re-releasing old episodes, ensure you communicate this to guests in the show notes to avoid any confusion. If you need to take a break from recording, you can also upload podcasts where you have been interviewed as a guest. A feed swap is another way to release content without having to record anything. It also gives your show a new platform for potential listeners. Batch record episodes ahead of time to avoid having to stray away from your release schedule.  BEST MOMENTS “Top tip, go to expos, it’s a great way to just network” “Your downloads are gonna take a dip over the Christmas and New Year anyway so you don’t want to put your best content out there” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

    How to Relaunch Your Podcast to #1 Community Q&A

    This is a rerelease of a previous great episode! Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Join Ash and Kane for a Q&A from the Podcasters Podcast private community. They share questions from podcasters ranging from how to grow your podcast and credibility to sponsorship. They also discuss podcasting launches and relaunches and what impact having a number 1 podcast has on your podcasting journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS When speaking and negotiating sponsorship, try and get more episodes in the deal. This not only generates more income but saves you time as you will need to negotiate with less sales reps. To climb the charts, network with podcasts in your niche in the view to get interviews. You can then capitalise on each other’s audiences. Whilst it’s easier to go viral on TikTok, Instagram offers the best ‘shop window’ to convert your audience to clients and more. How you launch your podcast can be pivotal to your initial growth and performance. Head to the Podcasters Podcast Launch episode here: How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 Having a giveaway that’s relevant to your audience is more important than the cash value. Getting to number 1 in the charts when you launch or relaunch is valuable social proof for sponsorship deals and future guests too. BEST MOMENTS "On average it takes 7 touch points to make a buying decision” “There’s not an easier platform to go viral on than TikTok” “You’re going to get better sponsors, you’re going to get more recognition in your specific industry, get better guests on your show, it’s social proof that you’re a number 1 podcast” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron & Ashley Morris run the UK's first and largest Podcast Agency, Progressive Media.

    Rob Moore - Podcast Millionaire reveals Secrets, Strategies, Mistakes and expose

    This is a rerelease of a previous great episode! Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Rob Moore shares how he built an 8-figure business through his podcast Disruptors, revealing secrets behind viral episodes like his infamous Andrew Tate interview. He dives into the social strategies that made him one of the biggest creators on the planet, how he monetises across multiple platforms, and the goalpost-moving challenges of going viral while balancing authenticity. Rob also discusses pivoting from property to content creation, his approach to getting high-profile guests like Will.i.am and Katie Hopkins, and why he has beef with Diary of a CEO's Stephen Bartlett. Overall an insightful peek behind the curtain of one of the OG podcasting Disruptors! KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob’s podcast Disruptors (previously called The Disruptive Entrepreneur) was the first of Progressive Media’s to launch 8 years ago and now has almost 1000 episodes. Build a "specific but vague" niche to maximise reach - business, money, and entrepreneurship is broad but still clear. Create in your authentic format e.g. long-form interviews for Rob. Short-form doesn't always suit creators. Repurpose one piece of content into 50. View podcasting as a commercial business. Reinvest revenue into better guests and production. You need to invest to grow. Avoid overcomplicating tech and production as a beginner. iPhone + consistency beats fancy gear! Interview skills are critical. Research helps but stay present and let conversations flow. Interviewing takes practice and you will get better with time. Go broader once you've built an audience and identity. Rob went from Disruptive Entrepreneur which was more specific to then Disruptors which interviews a wider range of guests. Handwritten letters stand out to get guests attention. Wax seals also help, you can outsource the writing. Controversial guests like Andrew Tate bring huge but fleeting blows up. Lasting impact depends on authenticity. Don't overcomplicate funnels, CRMs etc when starting out. Bang out content and drive people to simple sales funnels. BEST MOMENTS “Really, all I should think about is the impact I have on people." "So many people right now are overwhelmed. It's just a massive confusion. There's so much opportunity but so much confusion." "This morning...I felt grey and fuzzy and bleh. But I got in the garden and I did a pretty hard workout. And then I got in the ice bath... And I thought, fucking hell, my brain is not really on it." "Go live for three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes and then fairly easy...you can chuck that content there and they can do four or five clips from that." "Sometimes I think if I'd have stayed Disruptive Entrepreneur and just interviewed millionaires and billionaires, you know, maybe I might be more successful." "People way overcomplicate everything. Get a good agency...be more prolific with your content...and the money will start to go up." "I know for a fact he pays guests big money. I know this for a fact...He and others have made it harder to get guests because they're chucking big money down." "I like the fact that you call it a commercial business because I don't think a lot of creators do."
