About Your Host

Melissa Brown, MD - Coach, Author, Speaker, Teacher, and Podcast Host.

After leaving medical practice in 2009, Melissa discovered the online world and never looked back! After coach certification, she began a healthy lifestyle coaching practice online and quickly fell in love with blogging, writing, and content marketing.

Melissa believes that coaches have the power to change the world. Unfortunately, too many coaches get discouraged by the amount of content they need to create for marketing their business and this can lead to overwhelm and giving up on their dreams. There's such a ripple effect when a dream dies, so Melissa is on a mission to help coaches and solopreneurs overcome the overwhelm when it comes to content creation so they keep those dreams alive.

Your content can impact massive amounts of people and positively change the world. You've got content in there inside you; let's get it out into the world.

Speaker:

Where that information and your services can impact the

Speaker:

most people. Get ready to take notes today and

Speaker:

then take action content creators. Let's dive in with

Speaker:

today's episode because you've got content to get out

Speaker:

there. Hey there and welcome back to another episode of

Speaker:

the She's got content podcast. I'm your host

Speaker:

Melissa Brown. In today's episode, let's

Speaker:

explore the world of podcasting. I'd love to

Speaker:

discuss how it can benefit coaches and small business owners like

Speaker:

you, So let's dive in.

Speaker:

As a coach and a small business owner, you know the importance of sharing

Speaker:

your expertise to connect with your audience. In today's

Speaker:

digital age, there are all kinds of mediums to choose from.

Speaker:

Maybe you're already blogging or creating video

Speaker:

content. And most people maintain some sort of presence on

Speaker:

social media, as much as we might hate it. However,

Speaker:

podcasting offers different and very unique

Speaker:

advantages over those other mediums that can really set you apart

Speaker:

from the competition. and help you build a real loyal

Speaker:

community of listeners. Let's start by addressing

Speaker:

the first advantage, the power of your voice.

Speaker:

Podcasting allows you to communicate directly with your

Speaker:

audience. It creates a personal connection that goes beyond

Speaker:

those written words or visuals. Your voice

Speaker:

carries your passion, enthusiasm, your authenticity,

Speaker:

and that can resonate deeply with your listeners.

Speaker:

By hearing your voice consistently through podcast episodes,

Speaker:

your audience feels like they truly know you, which builds trust and

Speaker:

strengthens the coach-client relationship.

Speaker:

Podcasting also offers a great bit of flexibility.

Speaker:

Unlike video content, which requires your audience's undivided

Speaker:

attention, podcast episodes can be enjoyed

Speaker:

while multitasking. Listeners can tune in during their

Speaker:

commute, while they exercise, or while they're doing household

Speaker:

chores. That convenience factor allows you to reach

Speaker:

a broader audience who may not have the time or the inclination to consume

Speaker:

other types of content that you put out there. Another

Speaker:

advantage of podcasting is its portability.

Speaker:

With the podcast, your content can be accessed

Speaker:

anytime, anywhere using a smartphone or any

Speaker:

portable audio device. Your listeners can take you along

Speaker:

on their journeys whether they're traveling, walking in the

Speaker:

park, or simply relaxing at home.

Speaker:

This accessibility ensures that you're constantly present

Speaker:

in their lives. You can provide value and support

Speaker:

whenever they need it. Now, let's

Speaker:

compare podcasting to blogging and video content

Speaker:

creation. While both those mediums have their

Speaker:

merits, they also have some certain limitations.

Speaker:

Blogging requires strong writing skills, time to craft

Speaker:

engaging content, and the ability to optimize it for

Speaker:

search engines. Although blogs can reach a wide

Speaker:

audience, they may lack the personal touch and emotional connection

Speaker:

that your voice brings. Let's look at some specific

Speaker:

examples. where podcasting offers this unique advantage

Speaker:

of being accessible and convenient for listeners.

Speaker:

Imagine you're a coach and your potential client, Lisa,

Speaker:

is interested in your expertise, but she's got a busy

Speaker:

schedule. With a podcast, Lisa can listen

Speaker:

in to your episodes while she's commuting to work. As she sits

Speaker:

on a train or a bus, she can have her headphones on or

Speaker:

her earbuds in her ears. This way, she can absorb

Speaker:

valuable insights, strategies, and inspiration

Speaker:

from your podcast, without disturbing her fellow

Speaker:

commuters. Most cars allow some type of connection to a cell

Speaker:

phone to access a podcast player app from that

Speaker:

phone. Now, if Lisa drives to work, she can listen to

Speaker:

podcast episodes while she's in the car, much the same way as

Speaker:

listening to her favorite radio station or a music

Speaker:

channel. No matter which way Lisa commutes to work,

Speaker:

she can turn her commute into a learning experience to make the most of her

Speaker:

time and start her day on a positive, empowering note by

Speaker:

listening to your podcast. Now, let's consider

Speaker:

another scenario. In this scenario, we

Speaker:

have Sarah, a stay-at-home mom. She's got a lot on her plate with

Speaker:

household chores, and she's taking care of her small children.

Speaker:

While she's tidying up the playroom, doing laundry,

Speaker:

or preparing dinner, Sarah can listen to your podcast.

Speaker:

By doing so, she turns mundane tasks into

Speaker:

productive and enriching moments. Your podcast becomes

Speaker:

her companion. offering guidance, and

Speaker:

motivation as she navigates her busy day.

Speaker:

Another great example of multitasking with podcasts is during

Speaker:

exercise or during a workout session. Here we

Speaker:

have John. He's a fitness enthusiast. He loves going for

Speaker:

long runs. So instead of just focusing on the physical aspect

Speaker:

of his workout, he can enhance that experience by

Speaker:

listening to your podcast while he runs. Your

Speaker:

episodes could be centered around fitness tips, mental

Speaker:

resilience, motivation. By

Speaker:

combining physical activity with educational and inspiring

Speaker:

audio content, John can optimize his time and gain

Speaker:

valuable knowledge while staying fit. And it's not just

Speaker:

while running. Exercise is a great time to catch up on podcasts.

Speaker:

Walking outside, stretching, treadmill, or elliptical

Speaker:

time, those are other great examples of exercise time that can be

Speaker:

done while listening to podcast episodes.

Speaker:

Podcasts also fit perfectly into the context of

Speaker:

relaxation and self-care. Let's say

Speaker:

Emma enjoys unwinding with a relaxing bath or while

Speaker:

taking a long walk in nature. By tuning into your

Speaker:

podcast, she can immerse herself in your soothing voice

Speaker:

and insightful discussions. This creates a

Speaker:

serene enriching environment where she can reflect, gain

Speaker:

new perspectives, and feel empowered on her personal growth journey.

Speaker:

On the other hand, video

Speaker:

content creation will demand technical expertise.

Speaker:

It demands equipment and a visually appealing

Speaker:

presence. It can be time-consuming to shoot, edit,

Speaker:

and upload those videos regularly. Additionally,

Speaker:

some people may feel camera shy or really uncomfortable

Speaker:

on screen. and that can hinder their ability to

Speaker:

connect with their audience authentically. Podcasting however

Speaker:

strikes a balance between convenience, and connection. It

Speaker:

allows you to showcase your expertise without that need for visual

Speaker:

aesthetics. It doesn't need expensive equipment

Speaker:

or extensive editing. By focusing solely

Speaker:

on your voice, you can concentrate on delivering valuable

Speaker:

content, sharing your stories, and engaging

Speaker:

with your listeners on a deeper level. Finally,

Speaker:

podcasting opens doors to collaboration and

Speaker:

networking opportunities. Inviting guests on your podcast

Speaker:

allows you to tap into your expertise, share

Speaker:

valuable insight with your audience and expand your professional network.

Speaker:

These connections can lead to joint ventures

Speaker:

and referrals and increased visibility within

Speaker:

your coaching niche. The beauty of podcasting is

Speaker:

that it seamlessly integrates into various aspects of

Speaker:

people's lives. allowing them to maximize their

Speaker:

time and engage with valuable content while they

Speaker:

multitask. Whether that's during commutes, household

Speaker:

chores, exercise, or moments of relaxation,

Speaker:

podcasting offers a portable

Speaker:

and flexible medium that adapts to the listener's lifestyle. So

Speaker:

to recap, podcasting offers unique advantages

Speaker:

for coaches and small business owners. It provides

Speaker:

a personal connection through the power of your voice. It

Speaker:

offers flexibility and portability for your listeners and

Speaker:

it bridges the gap between convenience and connection. While

Speaker:

blogging and video content creation have their place, podcasting

Speaker:

gives you an edge by delivering your expertise in a way that

Speaker:

truly resonates with your audience. If you've been thinking

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:
