Creating an effective audience survey is essential for understanding what your listeners want and how to enhance their experience.
This episode dives into the crucial steps for crafting survey questions that engage your audience and encourage participation. Dave Jackson emphasizes the importance of knowing your audience and keeping surveys concise, ideally under ten questions, to boost completion rates.
He also discusses strategies for increasing responses, such as using incentives and clear communication about the benefits of participating. By the end, you'll have actionable insights to help you design a survey that not only gathers valuable feedback but also strengthens your relationship with your listeners.
Takeaways: Begin your survey with a concise opening paragraph explaining how respondents will benefit. Keep your survey short, ideally under 10 questions for higher completion rates. Incentives can increase survey participation but ensure they don’t skew honest feedback. Use relevant questions that engage your audience and avoid demographic questions at the start. Incorporate a progress bar to inform participants how far along they are in the survey. Make sure to remind your audience about the survey to boost responses regularly.

Being open to receiving feedback is crucial for growth, especially as we head into 2025. If podcasters are unwilling to listen to their audience, they risk repeating the same mistakes and achieving the same results. This episode delves into the importance of having a receptive mindset regarding advice and input from listeners. Today, I share anecdotes and examples, including the cautionary tale of Elizabeth Holmes and the pitfalls of ignoring expert advice. He emphasizes that understanding your audience is the foundation for creating compelling content and encourages podcasters to seek feedback to enhance their shows actively.
Takeaways: Being open to audience feedback is essential for podcasters to improve their content. If you ignore audience advice, you risk repeating the same mistakes year after year. Feedback is critical to podcasting success; embrace it to grow your show. Creating an audience survey can provide valuable insights into what your listeners want. Understanding your audience's needs can lead to more engaging and resonant content. Ignoring expert advice, as seen in the case of Theranos, can lead to failure. With a CLEAR understanding of your WHY and your audience, you can decide which advice to accept and which to dismiss.Links referenced in this episode:

Don't let past regrets or harsh words hold you back from podcasting. This episode highlights inspiring stories from podcasters like Zita Christian, who turned her struggles with Alzheimer's into a powerful platform, and Ray Arnott, whose model train podcast has garnered a passionate community. Dave Jackson emphasizes that everyone has a unique voice and experience to share, and it's essential to push through the self-doubt that might stem from past failures.
He also discusses the phenomenon of pod fading, where many new podcasters stop before truly finding their audience. Tune in to discover how you can overcome obstacles and embrace your podcasting journey, all while ensuring your voice is heard loud and clear.
Transitioning to the theme of persistence in podcasting, Dave discusses the phenomenon of 'pod fading,' where many new podcasters abandon their shows within months. He references a study revealing that around 30% of podcasters stop producing content shortly after launching. Jackson draws parallels between podcasting and gym memberships, highlighting how both require commitment and a clear understanding of one's goals to achieve lasting success. He encourages listeners to embrace their unique voices, reminding them that past failures or negative feedback should not deter them from sharing their stories. Instead, he advocates for a mindset shift—viewing each podcasting endeavor as an opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of the initial outcome.
The episode crescendos with reflections on the recent insights he gained from watching the musical 'Wicked,' particularly the unexpected vocal talents of Ariana Grande. This experience serves as a metaphor for the hidden potential within each person. Jackson urges aspiring podcasters to let go of self-doubt and 'head trash,' asserting that everyone has a unique contribution to make. By embracing their individuality and the lessons learned from past experiences, podcasters can inspire others and carve out their place in the audio landscape. As the episode wraps up, Dave reiterates his commitment to supporting podcasters through his school, providing resources and guidance to help them realize their potential and achieve their podcasting dreams.
Takeaways:Zita Christian's podcast gained recognition when she was featured in U.S. News & World Report, showcasing the impact a podcast can have.Ray Arnott's podcast inspired a listener to send in a special gift.Many new podcasters quit because they lack clarity on their audience and goals, leading to frustration.Consistency in content and focus is crucial for successful podcasting; it's not just about publishing.Ariana Grande's unexpected vocal talent illustrates that preconceived notions can limit potential; podcasting is similar.Pod fading affects 30% of new podcasters; understanding your audience is key to longevity.YouTube's redefining the word podcast may confuse advertisers and affect the money flowing into podcasting.Links referenced in this episode:

Takeaways:
Building anticipation for your content is crucial; promoting months in advance can lead to significant engagement. Making your content easily accessible across various platforms maximizes audience reach and convenience. Tying your content to emotions or nostalgia can significantly enhance audience connection and engagement. Creating unique content that can't be found elsewhere is a powerful way to attract viewers. Ensure the consumption process of your content is smooth; technical issues can drive audiences away. Monetizing an audience, rather than just the podcast, is key to long-term success.

OK, I realize this seems a little odd, but stay with me. Bowling and podcasting share surprising similarities that can inspire you to start your own podcast. Just like in duck pin bowling, where mastering the basics and adapting your technique is crucial, podcasting requires a solid grasp of content creation and delivery. Throughout this episode, Dave Jackson draws parallels between the two, emphasizing the importance of feedback, practice, and finding your unique style. He also introduces an AI prompt that can help you generate fresh interview questions, making it easier to engage your audience.

If you want to add something new to your podcasting routine, you need to subtract something else from your schedule. Time management is crucial for podcasters; today, I'm pointing out the importance of making intentional choices about allocating our time.
Let's examine the balance between new opportunities and existing commitments. I emphasize that every addition comes with a necessary subtraction (unless you want to lose your mind).
This episode is filled with practical tips and personal insights on how to manage your time while avoiding burnout. Whether you want to expand your podcasting efforts or keep your sanity intact, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate your busy schedule.

Takeaways: To succeed in podcasting, remember that adding a new task means subtracting an existing one (if you're truly "busy"). Effective time management in podcasting requires precise scheduling for learning new tools or platforms. Evaluate your current commitments and prioritize what truly adds value to your podcasting journey (and value to your audience). Being overwhelmed by podcasting tasks can be alleviated by understanding your available time. Use tools to track your productivity and identify what activities yield the best results. Avoid the hustle culture; prioritize your health and family while managing your podcasting goals.Mentioned In This Episode

Takeaways:
Building a relationship with your podcast guests before the interview can lead to better promotion later. Make it easy for guests to share their episodes by providing direct links and images. As a host, please don't rely solely on guests to promote their episodes; it's not guaranteed. Offering your guests clear and simple promotional tools can encourage them to share your interview. Please tell your guests when their episodes will be released to help them prepare to share. As a guest, promise to promote the episode to increase your chances of being invited back. If you want them to share, the interview should be different than previous interviews.Links referenced in this episode:

This episode serves as a guide for content creators to learn from the mistakes of the movie industry. It advocates for creativity, genuine audience engagement, and strategic marketing that resonates with today's consumers.
The movie industry is falling fast. I share my childhood memories of the joy of watching movies and how attending a movie now has changed dramatically. We need to understand the power of audience engagement, noting that the film industry is often playing it safe with sequels and familiar franchises (a strategy that may not always yield positive results).
As podcasters, we need to note these trends and craft our content thoughtfully, ensuring that we do not fall into the trap of repeating what has already been done. Podcasters can stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace by fostering authentic connections with listeners and providing innovative, compelling narratives.

Takeaways: The movie industry is struggling, and podcasters can learn valuable lessons from this decline. Creating a strong community experience can enhance audience engagement for both movies and podcasts. Making the consumption of your content easy is crucial for keeping your audience satisfied. Trailers should accurately represent the film's content to avoid disappointing viewers. Audience engagement and feedback are essential for improving movie and podcast content. Podcasters should avoid the common pitfalls of the movie industry to ensure success.Mentioned In This Episode

Chapters in podcast episodes allow listeners to easily navigate content, enhancing their listening experience by allowing them to skip to segments they find most intriguing or relevant. Dave Jackson explores the evolution and utility of chapters, reflecting on his initial disdain and eventual reliance on them. Dave invites podcasters to share their perspectives, highlighting a range of opinions from enthusiastic advocates to skeptics who worry chapters might disrupt the listener's engagement.
Tools like Hindenburg and Descript are spotlighted for their ability to integrate chapters seamlessly, while AI-driven solutions from hosts like Buzzsprout and Captivate are emerging to automate the process. As the podcasting landscape evolves, chapters are becoming a valuable feature for both content creators and audiences, though their adoption remains a personal choice, influenced by the podcast's format and the creator's goals.

Above all, NEVER have AI make content that is made public without human interaction.

All of these platforms have their own strengths. If I just wanted to accept money, I'd use Buy Me a Coffee. If I wanted to sell premium content, I would use Supercast (although Captivate and Buzzsprout are very attractive if you are using them for hosting). Supercast has a super easy onboarding for new listeners with a two-click install, and their percentage is in alignment with others (if not less).
Keep In Mind:
A show with WOW content will likely get around 3% of its audience to engage.
New podcasters should focus on building great content and their audience instead of monetizing, which can lead to disappointment.
There are MANY other ways to make money with your podcast besides advertising and asking for support. See my book Profit From Your Podcast.

It only takes a few minutes, and I am picking five random people to receive a free month at the School of Podcasting (including current members). schoolofpodcasting.com/survey

Are you confident your podcast content is truly resonating with your audience? Many podcasters assume their content is "fine" without digging deeper. But there's a powerful way to gain invaluable insights directly from your listeners.
In this episode, I share a game-changing strategy I recently used at my new job with Podpage. By conducting one-on-one Zoom calls with users, we uncovered crucial feedback that transformed our product. This approach can work wonders for your podcast too!

70% of podcasts are discovered via word of mouth (Jacobs Media). So if we can understand what makes someone recommend something, we can start to do that in our show.
We heard words like affordable, quality, and unique. Some people recommend based on a relationship that delivers value. When you deliver something you can't get any place else.
