In Episode 40 of the LIVE Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee from (Thursday, Sept 19th at 7 pm EST / 4 pm PST), we dive into the essential topic of being “audience-centric” in your live and recorded content. Understanding your audience’s needs, interests, and pain points is crucial for building a loyal following and delivering valuable episodes.

Give the show a watch and explore strategies for keeping your listeners engaged, soliciting and incorporating audience feedback, and tailoring your content for maximum impact.

Topics Include:

-Why Being Audience-Centric Matters: Exploring the benefits of understanding your audience’s needs and how it can grow your podcast.

-Knowing Your Audience: Tips on identifying your audience and what they’re looking for in your content.

-Content Planning: Create episodes that address your audience’s questions, problems, and interests.

-Engagement Tactics: Ways to encourage audience participation, including live Q&As, social media interactions, and listener polls.

-Feedback Integration: How to effectively gather feedback and adapt your content to meet listener expectations better.

-Standard Idea for Midroll Ads: We’ll discuss an effective formula for midroll ads in podcasts. Typically, the first midroll ad break should occur 15 minutes into an episode, followed by another break 15 minutes later. It’s generally best to cap the number of breaks at three for episodes up to 45 minutes. Host-read ads should be kept to around two minutes to maintain listener engagement. Limiting ad loads will protect the integrity and value of advertisers and audiences.

-Setting Standards for Podcast Ads: Creating clear guidelines and standard practices for ad placement in audio and video podcast episodes? By setting these standards, we can align the industry, spark meaningful conversations, and move toward a widely accepted best practice for balanced ad placement.

-Live vs. Recorded Content: Techniques to keep your audience focused, whether live-streaming or producing pre-recorded episodes.

-Building a Private and Public Community: Explore how to build a private and public community using platforms like Skools. Discuss the benefits of creating a space for your audience to connect, share feedback, and engage with exclusive content. A community platform can enhance audience interaction, increase loyalty, and provide a valuable resource for listeners to connect to the podcast.
