I honestly the most important point is to never stop. I think so many people like you said will Pod Fade so if you don't stop you'll have an edge on your competitors.
It’s called “pod-cast” so in essence I agree with your theory as to “cast” your “pod”(line/ fishing rod) again and again, you do increase your chances of “catching” more. 😎 🍻
Very refreshing to hear a more successful person say how difficult it is to stay consistent. So many people say to stay consistent, but don't admit how hard it really is. Thank you!
When I was doing daily videos on tou tube it was fine. Work from 7:30 til 5pm, shoot on the way to work and to home, then stay up till 2 or three editing. Didn't do it for long, everything else in my life changed and the CBFs took hold I have been meaning to do a podcast for 4 years, but here I am not. Being an anxious person, and I know things are about to change with a a kid maybe on the way( another story) and moving/buying a house and I am anxious about not continuing to produce stuff. The starting doesn't bother me the failing does. If you know what I mean. Right before covid I put out a casting call for a general you tube sketch channel and vlog( fat and ordinary, since that is how I feel much of the time) got a really good response and had already written scripts for about 15 stories about working in retail as a smart arse. I had 9 people fully committed to come on board and it was going to be fun.... Now.....meh. I am a bit older, a bit fatter, a bit more ordinary. Just saying. I will put my mini violin away now. 😜

I finally took the leap and launched my first podcast "Faithfully Confident with Courtney Berry" and I'm so sad it took me so long to launch it. I was worried I'd have pod-fade and worried I wouldn't be consistent. After launching, I had NO IDEA you could schedule episodes out lol.... good grief!
Serious TRUTH about the social media part. If you’re early in your journey too most of your social media following is just your friends and they’ll already listen... or they don’t care because they’ve already heard all of your insight 🤷🏽♂️😄
@@anjanaa89sa lol! That could be a good thing. You could create with no restrictions. But like Gary V always says.. don’t worry about what others think. Just make stuff. 💪🏾
@@iamjasonthompson I actually don't care about what others think & proceed doing what I wanna do which makes my fam/friends reach out and share advice asking me to be conditioned like them and please the society and the elders in it :D May be I am just another hypocrite :p
@@anjanaa89sa hehe. Good for you. It’s tough. I just think it’s hard to please society and elders and keep the freedom of creative expression. I’ve had a parent tell me to “be careful” because my community/society is watching. What’s lame is those who censor themselves for people who aren’t supporting their creativity will never move forward. It’s a waste of time in my opinion.
I started podcasting today and came to know about it. I felt bored a bit but I wanted to create a personal brand of my channel, therefore I decided to be consistent. I will spend daily 1 hour for writing the script and making the podcast recording and editing. Therefore I won't stop my new hobby i.e. story telling. Thank you for your video. Though I want to make money from that as a side hustle but before doing that I have to make good episodes so that the listeners may rise.
We have now been a podcast for almost 6 months, and there are definitely days where it feels like its not working. But, we have never considered quitting, just over a year after this video, and this will be extremely helpful. Thank you!
You probably (definitely) don't remember this but we met in person at Target YEARS ago and you encouraged me to start a podcast way back then, I hate that I didn't listen! My wife and I finally found our niche and are starting one up this year =) nice to see you still trucking!
Thanks, Pat! I discovered your SPI podcast a month ago and have been absorbing it daily. I'm a burnt out college teacher ready to try something new. I've decided to start a podcast where I talk to physics educators and share their strategies and insights with the teaching community. I just scheduled my first interview today! This is really happening!! A month ago I couldn't have even imagined doing a podcast at all. Thanks for everything you are putting out there. Even "bad news" like you shared in this video isn't enough to get me down. Those seem like reasonable hurdles to overcome, but I'm glad to know about them early.
Hi! Excuse me, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you how thing have been going for you! I'm interested in starting one soon and wanted to know how things have changed since your start up! Thank you in advance for any helpful insight.
@@lulusaidi6629 Hi Lulu, it's not going well. I stopped the podcast last year. However, I think I want to try again, and really push it out to my followers.
@@lulusaidi6629 Thank you for your support. I’d say don’t do it alone or find somewhere you can post the episodes and get feedback. None of the podcasting platforms allow for commenting so unlike RUclips, it can be very hard to get feedback. Feedback can usually motivate you to carry on as well which is something I was missing out on a lot.
These tips are good! I have to re listen & take notes as I started a podcast. I’m on episode 2 and for me I want to stay consistent! So I’m glad Pat talked about that.
My brother and I barely know each other and decided we're going to get to know each other while recording a Podcast. It should be fun! This video was very helpful, now I will be able to develop a strategy to get listeners and keep them!
This is so interesting and encouraging. I honestly felt burnt out at the 11th or 12th episodes, and it really created a lot of self-doubts about the value of my content. Thanks for the great tips. It really helps getting back to the work I so love.
Thanks for these tips, Pat. I'm on my THIRD podcast and STILL looking for ways to get a consistent audience. At this point, I think the "being a guest" tip is probably the best that I haven't tried yet.
I often wonder why anyone would be willing to have a person who isn't famous or popular on their podcast( I am speaking of me) But that just may be the little inner voice that likes to beat me down that sounds suspiciously like my mother.
@@nunchuckfilms my friend and I just started one, we are planning on having different friends and family in to have them talk about something that’s important to them that they’d like to bring attention to
Hi Pat. Your point about lousy analytics has been frustrating. Your tip about using a personal video message for reviews is fantastic. I will do that. Thank you.
Funny story, my therapist actually assigned me the task of creating a podcast because we've been going back and forth about what kind of job I want because the jobs I've had aren't ones I love.
I just started my podcast and have one episode out. Thank you for the advice! If anyone is interested, the first season is focusing on the TEA take over in Houstonisd. It is very wild what is going on especially with the new superintendent. It is called: Lessons & Whispers: Inside the Teacher's Corner.
My brothers and I just launched our podcast a couple of months ago, just posting weekly. We have no plans to stop, but it's safe to say we're past that honeymoon phase! Thanks Pat.
Pick a topic that you follow passionately since podfade happens the most with topics that you stop researching/not interested in outside of broadcasting. it absolutely shows when a podcast host is doing it as ‘work’ vs doing it as a passion project. Also if you’re enrolled at a university/community college I would HIGHLY recommend taking a public speaking class(confidence boosting and projective speaking techniques) and/or a broadcasting class. It takes so much longer parsing through the countless “10 THINGS I WISH THEY TOLD ME” videos on RUclips because most of the time, it’s all the same anecdotal advice lazily reworded rather than elaborating further using quality sourced information. The academic environment helps me internalize what I learned vs copying the processes of another RUclipsr and wondering why it sucks when it doesn’t come out the way I wanted.
Live-streaming a new video podcast and sharing it to highly active group that relative to your topic is a great way to jumpstart your podcast, just remember to ask your listeners to share the stream to their favorite group on something like Facebook. Live streaming is a huge bonus especially if you can get the live chat active so it boostsyou seo. My dream is starting an interview style podcast using a combination of video and live streaming, the fans can offer good questions to ask your guests via the live chat, and If their question is used it will likely boost the engagement in the live chat other fans will hopeyou pick their question as the interview progresses just make sure to acknowledge the person asking the question on whatever platform you’re streaming on. Good idea?
Plus ppl can tip you money to help boost your podcast if you reinvest any money given to you by fans who are awesome enough to help financially support it. 🙂
Pat, I love your one-on-one idea of reaching out to viewers. That's brilliant! I'm a writer and online seller, so I already know that trying to get reviews/ratings is like pulling teeth. Thanks for the video! 😊
It's crazy that there aren't any good podcast analytics. I could see why I guess, considering how many different places people can listen to them. I would think it'd have been overcome by now, but clearly not.
These are wonderful tips that will definitely help new podcasters avoid reinventing the wheel! I had attempted multiple other podcasts before starting YAP and keeping up with the demand for content is definitely noteworthy for those who want to start their own journey. It requires a lot of research, planning and a great cost of time, but it is WORTH IT! Getting reviews is also GREAT for engagement! Don't doubt the power of a review! Great video Pat :)
We are watching and learning from our Post Secondary School in Lincoln Park, MI. We enjoyed your tips and tricks. Some of the tips that really stuck out to us are the following: Just because you start a podcast, doesn't mean people will listen; Replying with personal message when asking for a review is a great strategy, Social media shouldn't be our only avenue to gain more listeners. Thank you for a great video. We learned a lot!!!
Thanks for this. The most important aspect for me was marketing tips. I have started 5 companies through my life, all but the last failed due to under-cap and dismal marketing. (I had to shut down the last due to finally being overwhelmed by life--long brain disfunction.) I write and record songs so I already have the recording/editing studio - the discussion and advice here (and the links) are helpful. This is not the only podcast tutorial I am watching, but you do present information and encouragement. Thanks.
Hey thanks for the info! When I learned about podcasting (a conference training) consistency was brought to the forefront as a challenge (I've already seen it in shows that I like/would like). I appreciate that you named reviews and showed that a quick video message (also thinking that a voice message via FB) is a great option to reach out personally and make the ask. Thank you.
Thanks Pat, I’ve been on a podfade every since I started a business in 2018 and I began dealing with #3. I even had your player, it’s the 💩 ! Thanks for all the content you push out, in this episode all 5 tips were helpful, I’ve had a intuitive feeling that #4 is correct as well so thanks for sharing the plug for the PK site👊🏽😎
Point 5 was the most illuminating. Send a video request for a review. The other four points are powerful. It is handy to know that the metrics are not very useful. I am not starting a podcast. The topics, however, are as good for a RUclips Channel as they are for anything other broadcasting methods. Am I correct?😁
@@shravanitonge1589 anchor.fm/infinty/episodes/Tough-Time-Vs-Tough-People-e12np1a It's in Hindi, looking forward to get some valuable insights from you. Are you a podcaster too?
As usual, your message and delivery are to the point, clear and not sugar-coating the TRUTH. You have saved me lots of future losses and frustration. Thank you Pat.
This is mind blowing video, I enjoyed watching every single frame of it and I found tons of valuable infos in it! Thank you very much for sharing this dude 🤓🤟🏼
Thank you SO much for this video, and I'll be digging deeper into your library for more. My fiance is starting a podcast and we've been lent an entire, giant box of gear which we have zero idea how to use. This podcast gives us a heads-up about avoiding the five pitfalls mentioned. Thanks again!
really helpful I'm new to podcasting. to be honest I'm very nerves in the middle of doing my first. the one thing I'm worrying about is editing. thank you for your advice 😁
The most helpful step I got is the step process. Sending personal videos after having gotten them to reply is something I could apply in my business. Thanks for this video, I'm about starting my podcast journey, this may go a long way, so thanks again.
hey pat, i just posted my first audio podcast today. i was confident about it while i was editing but over all i was nervous as hell as this is completely new to me. and i understand you have to become a disaster before you can become a master. ive watched a fair few of your videos to help me before i posted. but the over all nerves from just posting it, the nerves are getting to me now. how did you over come those nerves when you first started ?
Reps. Just keep doing it, and know that every time you put yourself out there there's now more of a chance someone will find it and find value in it. That's not going to happen if you just hold it in. You got this!
Oh the honesty! I agree with everything you said. 2.5 years and 122 episodes of content later, you really need to know why you're doing it to keep going, especially if it's not bringing in any money. Thanks for the video.
New to RUclips and want to start a podcast and so happy this video popped up in my feed. This was very helpful and I love the honesty.😊 Thank you so much.!
Thanks for this great video! I launched my podcast last year called "RACE RELATIONS PODCAST" and have been experiencing a lot of pod fade due to difficulties in creating content. But I am going to try and shake it off!
My first lesson on this journey I am considering taking which was very helpful thank you - on to more of your content now in the full knowledge that there are no magic wands to build your audience, just persistence, focus and discipline.
Thank you for making this video. I know it's an old video for you, but I still wanted to share my appreciation. My friends are constantly after me to start a podcast or write a book. One finally got me to agree to "at least look into it." You have saved me much frustration! I had no idea the time put into it, and this is not for me. I wouldn't Pod Fade after a month, I'd Pod Pass Out! Just one day snap "Nope!" and be done with it all. Yours was the first and only video I needed on the subject! Thank you for doing what you do!
Hi I watched your video on what RUclips does not tell you about starting a podcast. I am not, however I am beginning to record some videos of myself reading books to my Granddaughters. Your video was very informative, professional and I can imagine painfully true . 👍
Im glad i watched this video being that im planning to start a podcast focusing on health care professional and building wealth this gave me a real insight on what i need to focus on. Thank you!!!!
Really good advice! My friend and I are starting a sports podcast, and this gave me some ideas about how to reach out to our niche target audience of local sports fans. Thanks again!!
Hi I've just started doing a podcast and am trying to reach out and get more listeners. just came across your RUclips video. About 5 things they dont tell was very helpful. I would like to thank you and hope to watch more and learn more. To grow
You are awesome and knowledgeable. Im a hypnotherapist and thought that being great at a skill like mine was enough, but marketing is an art too. I’m glad for all the talents everyone has. God bless🙏🏼
Great vid, just one UPDATED info for #4: Now with tiktok and IG reels its good to use social media since viewers from even people who dont follow you will now see your content. Goodluck
thank you for sharing your knowledge. i am about to start something ... tdb (🤣 i've seen the office a few times) and i believe that i'll be watching/binging your content going forward. so thank you again!
Hey Pat, just listened to the show, very helpful thank you. I haven't started a podcast yet, but this was very helpful. I will be checking out more of your videos.
This is very helpful. Just getting ready to started mine and doing research. So appreciate the “what doesn’t work “ at the beginning of the journey. Consistency is a big takeaway. Thanks so much!
Thank you for very truthful and realistic explanation on how it works. I encountered all of those points myself, and stuck on them as was not prepared. It is huge illusion that it is a very easy process. You have to be very well equipped with knowledge, hard work and patience to be successful.
I am 3 episodes in on mine and just getting them longer is a struggle lol i am battling covid but i am trying to at least put content out for my viewers i feel like i am letting them down if i don't let them hear my voice even when sick. Thank you sir. Will use this
Pat, as always, You Are Awesome. Your generosity to others, your kind spirit, and your wealth of information is so impressive and helpful. Thanks again, David, your SD neighbor (Encinitas)
Hey Pat - I just watched and for sure, I'm a beginner! Thank you for these 5 tips on podcasts, you've given more confidence already! I also subscribed to your RUclips channel.
As someone literally just starting out doing a little nerdy podcast with my brother, these tips are invaluable. Definitely will be trying to keep a lot of this in mind and trying a few of these techniques out.
Thank You Pat Flynn! I going to start a podcast and your advice is so valuable to a beginner. And thanks for the free cheat sheet. I will be watching more of your videos in the future.
THanks Pat, I wanted to know if when starting a podcast to thinking about the audience whom I want to connect with first or think about the intention/ experience or issues to address. I will be happy to know your thoughts. Thanks, Stephen

Thanks Robert! RUclips having more access to analytics is a huge plus, but otherwise the tips should be applicable here, too!
I'm getting prepared to start a podcast soon and this was so helpful! Thank you for making this video :)

It's in Hindi, looking forward to get some valuable insights from you. Are you a podcaster too?
Did uh started your podcast?
As usual, your message and delivery are to the point, clear and not sugar-coating the TRUTH. You have saved me lots of future losses and frustration. Thank you Pat.
This is mind blowing video, I enjoyed watching every single frame of it and I found tons of valuable infos in it! Thank you very much for sharing this dude 🤓🤟🏼
I'm glad to have found you! What was most valuable to me was having a new way to ask people to write reviews. Thanks!
Thank you SO much for this video, and I'll be digging deeper into your library for more. My fiance is starting a podcast and we've been lent an entire, giant box of gear which we have zero idea how to use. This podcast gives us a heads-up about avoiding the five pitfalls mentioned. Thanks again!
Hi! Was your fiance able to start his podcast? How is it going?
Thank you! I preparing to start my podcast in a month. It’s so much to learn. I appreciate your suggestions.
This helped a lot, especially the Review point. My husband and I have been talking about starting a podcast.
really helpful I'm new to podcasting. to be honest I'm very nerves in the middle of doing my first. the one thing I'm worrying about is editing. thank you for your advice 😁
This is so helpful Pat thank you so much. I actually just started a podcast last Sunday.
The most helpful step I got is the step process. Sending personal videos after having gotten them to reply is something I could apply in my business. Thanks for this video, I'm about starting my podcast journey, this may go a long way, so thanks again.
Thanks Pat, I’m just trying to get started. Planning content and launch.
Yes! Being a guest on other people's shows is also what I advise.
The last point about to reach out personally anyone who liked your podcast - so good tip
hey pat, i just posted my first audio podcast today. i was confident about it while i was editing but over all i was nervous as hell as this is completely new to me. and i understand you have to become a disaster before you can become a master. ive watched a fair few of your videos to help me before i posted. but the over all nerves from just posting it, the nerves are getting to me now. how did you over come those nerves when you first started ?
Reps. Just keep doing it, and know that every time you put yourself out there there's now more of a chance someone will find it and find value in it. That's not going to happen if you just hold it in. You got this!
@@patflynn thanks pat, i couldnt have made it this far if it wasnt for your advice. i will keep at it no matter what.
Oh the honesty! I agree with everything you said. 2.5 years and 122 episodes of content later, you really need to know why you're doing it to keep going, especially if it's not bringing in any money. Thanks for the video.
New to RUclips and want to start a podcast and so happy this video popped up in my feed. This was very helpful and I love the honesty.😊 Thank you so much.!
Thanks for this great video! I launched my podcast last year called "RACE RELATIONS PODCAST" and have been experiencing a lot of pod fade due to difficulties in creating content. But I am going to try and shake it off!
My first lesson on this journey I am considering taking which was very helpful thank you - on to more of your content now in the full knowledge that there are no magic wands to build your audience, just persistence, focus and discipline.
Thank you so much! I really wanted to start a podcast this is a big help!
From 🇵🇭 here
Just wanna say thank you. 🙏 I'm trying to start my own podcast and you making this video giving me some tips and advice really helps. I appreciate it.
Thank you for making this video. I know it's an old video for you, but I still wanted to share my appreciation. My friends are constantly after me to start a podcast or write a book. One finally got me to agree to "at least look into it." You have saved me much frustration! I had no idea the time put into it, and this is not for me. I wouldn't Pod Fade after a month, I'd Pod Pass Out! Just one day snap "Nope!" and be done with it all. Yours was the first and only video I needed on the subject! Thank you for doing what you do!
Hi Shera! Were you able to start your own podcast?
Thank you putting this together. Very helpful and encouraging for those of us thinking to start one
Thank you for an entertaining, informative and insightful VT. I shall download your kind offer of a crib sheet as well. Gr8 work.
Hi I watched your video on what RUclips does not tell you about starting a podcast. I am not, however I am beginning to record some videos of myself reading books to my Granddaughters. Your video was very informative, professional and I can imagine painfully true . 👍
Im glad i watched this video being that im planning to start a podcast focusing on health care professional and building wealth this gave me a real insight on what i need to focus on. Thank you!!!!
Really good advice! My friend and I are starting a sports podcast, and this gave me some ideas about how to reach out to our niche target audience of local sports fans. Thanks again!!
I'm just starting, and I started w/you and this podcast on the five things to know. Excellent. Thanks. I'll be in touch.
Thanks Pat. Already hit Podcast Fade. But managed to bounce back and already taking steps to get onto other shows.
Hi I've just started doing a podcast and am trying to reach out and get more listeners. just came across your RUclips video. About 5 things they dont tell was very helpful. I would like to thank you and hope to watch more and learn more. To grow
You are awesome and knowledgeable. Im a hypnotherapist and thought that being great at a skill like mine was enough, but marketing is an art too.
I’m glad for all the talents everyone has. God bless🙏🏼
Thank you so very much, Pat. I appreciate all of the time and hard work that you given for so many years. Cheers!

So practical and clever ! Im about to start my own podcast interview and Tik tok so this ... Will help me a lot !! Thx from France !^^
Thanks, Pat. Like all you content. Starting a cosmetic dentistry podcast and you are helping immensely.
Thank you for very truthful and realistic explanation on how it works. I encountered all of those points myself, and stuck on them as was not prepared. It is huge illusion that it is a very easy process. You have to be very well equipped with knowledge, hard work and patience to be successful.
Wow
Patt Flynn, I never knew you were a podcaster.
I'm just a fan/follower from Catholic twitter.. I'm happy to see you
I like it - no click bait title, does what it says on the tin, clear and informative. Great stuff !!
Thank you. This was very helpful. I am planning on starting a podcast next month.
I am 3 episodes in on mine and just getting them longer is a struggle lol i am battling covid but i am trying to at least put content out for my viewers i feel like i am letting them down if i don't let them hear my voice even when sick. Thank you sir. Will use this
Pat, as always, You Are Awesome. Your generosity to others, your kind spirit, and your wealth of information is so impressive and helpful. Thanks again, David, your SD neighbor (Encinitas)
Just want to say you are awesome. Thank you for the help. Me and my family are starting a new podcast and we're extremely nervous. This helped alot.
About to start one on accountability and governance in my country. This was helpful.
Thank you for this video. My sister is just story planning for a new RUclips channel and plans to Pod cast it. I shared this video with her.
Hmmm you are so right! Sharing your podcast on socials is only going to get you so far. 👍
Thank you! I'm nowhere close to starting my first episode but this was quite insightful.
Thank you for being so complete in what you do that you do not care to share with others. Big help,
Enjoyed the information and thanks for the input, all of the bullet points will be beneficial to getting it right.
Hey Pat - I just watched and for sure, I'm a beginner! Thank you for these 5 tips on podcasts, you've given more confidence already! I also subscribed to your RUclips channel.
As someone literally just starting out doing a little nerdy podcast with my brother, these tips are invaluable. Definitely will be trying to keep a lot of this in mind and trying a few of these techniques out.
Have you thought about some music to introduce your show?
@@ProducerDanUSA Yeah we have intro music that plays in each episode
Thank you Pat! Your energy is contagious and I love it. Your information was presented beautifully especially the little recap at the end. Cheers!!
This video was do very helpful in the process of starting a podcast & doing research before I just jump in
Thank You Pat Flynn! I going to start a podcast and your advice is so valuable to a beginner. And thanks for the free cheat sheet. I will be watching more of your videos in the future.
THanks Pat, I wanted to know if when starting a podcast to thinking about the audience whom I want to connect with first or think about the intention/ experience or issues to address. I will be happy to know your thoughts. Thanks, Stephen
