Spotify for Podcasters (Growing a New Podcast)



Henry G: (his last post about podcasting) https://youtu.be/fI1Rbr2nIvY?si=r-xpH4Xi-QiBgTTO



Most podcast tutorials want to tell you the 7 steps or a very generic take on growing your podcast. Many podcasters want to get to a monetized position. During June 2024 I want us to discuss some alternative topics for growth, brainstorming some ideas so that we can be well-rounded and not just following the general path.

Check out older episodes as well. Spotify podcasting has changed greatly since 2020 and now in 2024 it can benefit us all to even look back at the past. So check out those older episodes as well and see how podcasting has changed! No longer are the days when we can just launch a couple eps and get monetized instantly! Unfortunately, there is more competition, and the world began to rely on digital. So we have to change with the competition, learn, do, practice, and update our skills.

Learning to Podcast on Spotify (My Strategy for June 2024)

This episode will cover my notes of monetization and strategy. Bear with me as I am learning as I go. I am attempting to get more organized. Here I discuss my experiences on growing a separate podcast (Not my experiences on growing Game and Compute). I look at analytics and talk about some past experiences of paying for promotion as well as organic traffic.

Follow up episodes will include details about any progress, fine tuning strategies based on analytics, and if there have been any improvements toward monetization.

E-Commerce Gig Basics (profit tracking, sample tracking sheet)

Last time we discussed the importance of tracking profits. Now you will be able to view a layout of how that looks. Track your expenses!

This episode discusses the minimum of what to consider when tracking your expenses. This will help you to verify that your e-commerce gig is profitable.

Once you have some profits coming in, you will need to have a plan for those funds. The funds may get recycled back into your future expenses such as any upcoming subscriptions needed to keep your store running. Or you can invest in more inventory, or shipping costs, or other fees.

We will eventually discuss planning. Once you have been able to dive into a pilot study from start to finish, you can consider larger planning and perhaps create a larger budget. You will be able to predict potential profits.

Remember that e-commerce can be fleeting. Things change! China may stop shipping on time. Or if there is a lock down there may be unexpected impacts. Products become obsolete. Or some major brand might release a new product impacting your sales.

Keeping things low and slow is one of the best methods to avoid losing tons and tons of money all at once. Stay patient. AND DON'T FORGET, YOUR TIME IS MONEY, SO FACTOR THAT INTO THE COSTS IF YOU CAN.
