Braden Ricketts:
of your podcast and leave listeners eager for more. Every show has an intro. Your Podcast intro sets the tone and establishes the identity of your show. It typically includes elements such as an introduction to the podcast and the host, background music or sound effects to create ambiance and a brief overview of the episode's content. By incorporating these elements, you can create a cohesive, engaging introduction and captivate your audience from the start and sets the stage for a memorable lifting experience. I recommend keeping it really short. You don't want anybody hitting that skip button to get past your voice, to get past the music, because that immediately tells them there's no value. The less skipping, the better. So keep it short. Welcome them back. Remember they're only hearing it for the first time once every other time it should be a welcome back. And finally, the outro podcast. Outro provides an opportunity to leave a lasting impression on your audience and encourage further engagement. Use this time to express gratitude to your listener for tuning in, invite them to subscribe, rate, review your podcast and tease upcoming episodes over special announcements. A well crafted outro helps reinforce your brand identity, fosters a sense of connection with your audience, and encourages them to continue supporting your podcast. Ultimately, this should again be a short, impactful call to action. They've just spent the last period of time listening to your show as a fly on the wall. Invite them into the conversation. Bring them in as your engagement strategy, what do they do next, and how do they apply all the actions you just recommended in your show?
