And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
(upbeat music)
Speaker:
00:00:22
In an earlier episode of One Minute Podcast Tips,
Speaker:
00:00:27
I spoke about the importance
Speaker:
00:00:28
of having a really good elevator pitch for your podcast.
Speaker:
00:00:30
And I'll leave a link to that in the show notes
Speaker:
00:00:32
so you can check that out
Speaker:
00:00:33
after you've listened to this episode.
Speaker:
00:00:35
But more so than having a good elevator pitch,
Speaker:
00:00:37
being able to describe your podcast
Speaker:
00:00:38
in as few words as possible
Speaker:
00:00:40
is a really effective skill to work on and improve.
Speaker:
00:00:43
And this is what I call the 10 Word Rule.
Speaker:
00:00:44
If you can describe your podcast in 10 words or less,
Speaker:
00:00:47
it can really help you attract new listeners.
Speaker:
00:00:49
So for example, a podcast I listen to
Speaker:
00:00:51
is Piecing It Together by David Rosen.
Speaker:
00:00:53
This is a movie podcast,
Speaker:
00:00:55
but it's a movie podcast with a difference.
Speaker:
00:00:57
And that comes across in David's own example of the 10 Word Rule.
Speaker:
00:01:00
When asked to describe his podcast,
Speaker:
00:01:02
David always says it's a podcast about movies and the movies that inspire them.
Speaker:
00:01:06
And that's the perfect description for his podcast,
Speaker:
00:01:07
which looks at the influences behind some of the most popular movies today.
Speaker:
00:01:11
So take a look at your own podcast
Speaker:
00:01:12
and try to narrow it down to 10 words or less how you would describe the podcast
Speaker:
00:01:16
to someone who's asking for the very first time.
Speaker:
00:01:18
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
Speaker:
00:01:21
Thanks for listening.
Speaker:
00:01:26
