The Cure for the Average

What I’ve come to discover, and we may not like this, is that there’s really no quick way to growing and monetizing our podcasts despite what some people will say.

It takes a level of excellence in most, if not all areas, to grow and monetize our podcasts.

We can continue to talk about the strategies to monetize and the strategies to grow our audience (and we will) with iTunes, reviews, social media, etc., but the reality is, if we don’t cure our average with our podcasts… none of those strategies will matter in the long run.

I came to a realization that we really need to CURE THE AVERAGE for our podcasts.  It is essential that we MASTER OUR CRAFT of podcasting.

I’m not saying we need to be perfect by any means.  But I AM saying that we need to put priority, focus, commitment, perseverance, etc. on mastering excellence with our podcasts.  When we can do that, those strategies we’ve been talking about will be a LOT easier to implement and succeed with!

After listening to this week’s Profitcast episode, let me know what you think and what, if anything, resonates with you.
