<v Speaker 1>a r r oe dot net. Not just a podcast,

00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>it is an exploration for you, twenty different explorations, one

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>of them including vocal dfrag. When was the last time

5
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that you stopped and asked yourself a question and then

6
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>question the answer. It's a lot easier just to ask

7
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a friend and then when things go wrong, what happens? Right?

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 1>How many times you been there? Vocal dfrag Only on

10
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy your exploration, yo, what's going on? My name is Arrow,

11
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>host of the weekly podcast Podcrashing and Podcrashing one on one.

12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>These episodes connect listeners to podcasts specialists around the world.

13
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>The goal has always been to inform our podcast community

14
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>with subjects that deal with everything and beyond. Podcast hosts

15
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>are usually very open and always filled with a spirit

16
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that spreads their skills as a journalist, medical specialist, true crime,

17
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>time solver, gamblers, motivators, spiritualist, actors, and even their children.

18
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>There really is a podcast for every subject Podcrashing one

19
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 1>on one. It's been around since March of twenty nineteen.

20
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 1>The original goal was to put focus on helping up

21
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 1>and coming podcasters to have the right information from somebody

22
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>who's actually doing it. The idea win fifty four episodes

23
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>before adopting more people to the idea, talking directly with

24
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the podcasters around the world. The purpose of podcrashing one

25
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>on one is to help you build your own platform,

26
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>promote it, and earn money. This is podcrashing one on one,

27
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, episode number four seventy nine. Why are there

28
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>so many podcasts analytic professionals with bragging rights to get

29
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you more listeners, but the majority of those people have

30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>never hosted a podcast of their own. This has caused

31
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of tension within the four walls of podcasting

32
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>analytic experts versus the podcast host. Wait wait wait wait

33
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 1>wait wait wait. This doesn't mean that the analytic number

34
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>crunchers are evil people. They are said to have their

35
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>own skill set, and wow, is it ever different. A

36
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>person who is really good at helping other podcasters increase

37
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>their revenue doesn't mean that they have to funnel their

38
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 1>own money into followers and listeners. Podcast hosts are storytellers, interviewers,

39
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>production discipline, and know how to create and to build

40
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 1>an audience connection, whereas analytic experts are masters of specialized

41
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 1>distribution patterns, listener retention curves, and platform algorithms. Oh my god,

42
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's not a performance on a microphone. Right now,

43
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>podcasting is currently experiencing a major league gold rush. Consulting

44
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>culture is what it's all about. Once people find out

45
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>about the podcast, they gather a lot of listeners together.

46
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>It really is sacred money to advertisers and they want

47
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>proof that this podcast can increase their ROI, their return

48
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of investment. Hey, coming up next, we're going to dig

49
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>deeper into analyzing podcast numbers and those who are doing

50
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 1>it for us. Hey, thanks for coming back to podcrashing

51
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>one on one. Is it easier to analyze a podcast

52
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>or create one? That's a big, big question, you know what,

53
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Producing and creating a long form podcast, it really does

54
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>need a path, and it's very difficult to keep up with.

55
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>The analytic experts study successful case studies, but they haven't

56
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>lived through the grind of growing a show from fifty

57
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 1>listeners to fifty thousand. The hardcore facts is that consulting

58
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 1>can be more predictable than hosting the frickin' podcast. Here's

59
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 1>how the money game is actually played. Analytic consultants make

60
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>a steady revenue, whereas podcast hosts, we have an uncertain

61
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>amount of money to be made. So it is said

62
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>most people would rather sell the map than walk the path.

63
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's get one thing straight here. There are many many

64
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>analysts that are extremely very good at what they do,

65
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 1>and they're very credible, especially those who combine both sides

66
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>of the pie, hosting as well as doing the analytics.

67
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Three very important questions that you need to ask yourself

68
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>as well as the person that you're about ready to

69
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>hire to do your analytics. Number one, can I see

70
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the shows that you've personally built? I'd like to see those.

71
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Number two would you be able to prove by download

72
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:07.199
<v Speaker 1>numbers before and after your physical involvement in this? And

73
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>number three can you also provide retention and listener behavior data?

74
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I've got to have that to build this relationship. Three

75
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 1>very important questions. I'm Merrow and that's pod crashing one

76
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>on one
