In this week's episode, I'm talking about if you're ready to outsource your podcast.

If you already have a podcast, you'll know that it is quite a commitment.

There are a lot of moving pieces that you need to keep up with to get your episodes out there on a weekly or bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

Let's break down all the moving parts:

Recording the episodes

Guests - research and scheduling

Editing

Writing show notes

Uploading

Promoting - creating the content around the episodes, for example, a variety of posts, email marketing and updating your website.

Not forgetting to repurpose and keep promoting all the episodes you've previously released.

And you know, this all takes time it takes time to do

We're all so busy!

Especially if you're doing a podcast, you're handling all the things yourself as well as your business and your personal life.

It can feel a bit much and can get a bit overwhelming. And outsourcing can really help relieve that pressure.

I'm a podcast manager and my aim is to take those pieces off you and do them for you, which will create more time in your life for your work, your clients or your family life.

You can send me the recording and I'll do the rest!

So if this sounds like you, take a bit of time to reassess.

How much time are you spending on all the tasks?

Are you comfortable handing them off?

Maybe you don't need to outsource all of it, maybe just the editing and show notes or the promotion side of things.

If you're stuck or would like to run your plan past someone then I'm here! happy to chat and offer some guidance to you.

You can book a coffee chat with the link in the show notes.

If you have any questions or would like some help with your podcast, book a podcast enquiry call.

Hi, and welcome to this week's episode. Today, I am talking

about are you ready to outsource your podcast. If you already

have a podcast, you'll know that it is quite a commitment. There

are a lot of moving pieces that you need to keep up with to get

your episodes out there on a weekly bi weekly, whatever your

commitment is on that kind of basis. And so let's just break

down all the moving parts to podcast. So there's recording

the episodes. If you're doing guests, there's research and

scheduling those guests, editing the episodes, writing show

notes, uploading and publishing your episodes. Then we get into

the promotion side of your podcast. So this is creating the

content around the episodes, for example, creating a variety of

posts, email marketing, and updating your website. Also not

forgetting to repurpose and keep promoting all the episodes that

you've previously released. And you know, this all takes time to

do. We are all so busy with our work life, our family life,

especially if you're doing a podcast, and you're handling all

the things yourself as well as your business and personal life,

it can feel a bit much and can get a bit overwhelming. And

outsourcing can really help relieve that pressure. You may

or may not know that I'm a podcast manager myself. And my

aim with my clients is to take all those pieces, the editing,

show notes, publishing, promotion, all those pieces,

take them off you and do them for you, which will then create

more time in your life. For your work for your clients, or more

time for family life. All you need to do is send me the

recording, and I'll do the rest. So if you think this sounds like

you, if you're feeling overwhelmed, you've not feel

like you don't have time for your podcast, or you need to

create more time for you to spend in your business or your

family take a little bit of time to to reassess what you're doing

and how you're doing it. How much time are you spending on

these tasks, a great way to find this out is to use an app like

toggle, which is what I use to tie my work I did this when I

was a VA as well. You can literally time was off doing all

these tasks. And it gives you an idea of how much time you're

spending on all those things. This is a really great tip for

the rest of your business as well, to get you to realise how

much time you're spending, working on your business, not as

well as the client work that you're doing. So you can work

out how much time it's taking you to do all these pieces and

really then assess how much time you have in day to day, week to

week. And you know, then looking at outsourcing those things.

Then you need to think about are you comfortable handing off

these tasks? Are you happy if somebody else does these pieces

of work for you. And it may be that you don't need to outsource

all of it. Maybe you just want to outsource the editing and the

show notes and the uploading side of things and you're happy

doing the promotion around your podcasts or maybe it's the other

way around, perhaps you're happy doing one of those other things

but you just don't want to do the social media side of things.

Then you can send your content over to whoever is going to be

doing it for you. And they can create a delivery audiograms the

clips or social posts or the graphics around promoting your

podcast. If you're feeling stuck and you'd like to run your plan,

pass somebody then I'm here. I'm happy to chat and offer some

guidance To you, you can book in a coffee chat with me. And

there's a link in the show notes for you to do that. I hope this

episode has helped those of you that have a podcast and are

looking to get some support and guidance around maintaining your

podcast and keeping going with your awesome content. As always,
