The Power of Podcasting for Digital Marketing Results
I’ve been podcasting for 119 weeks and it has transformed my business, my network and my life. So you may ask, how can podcasting help my business? Stay tuned to find out!
I’ve always loved radio. Despite leaving broadcast journalism many years ago, I craved going back behind the mic. Podcasting presented the perfect opportunity to satisfy a professional craving while also transforming my business.
The podcast has taken me to the heart of European politics and to international speaker stages.
Amanda and I will share our insights into why podcasting makes great business sense!
* Voice and search marketing
ComScore estimates that by 2020, more than half of all searches will be done via voice search. Right now, Google says that 20% of all mobile search queries are voice.
The majority of voice searches tend to be long and conversational and optimising for long-tail keywords increases the likelihood that you’ll appear for voice searches. You have to be specific and of course meet the needs, problems and demands of your ideal customer.
For example: this podcast may show up in voice search is somebody types in “How can podcasting help my business?”
* The rise in smart speakers
Amazon Echo and Google Home are changing our lives but they are also changing marketing. After waking up the speaker, users can automate a range of activities. By saying "Alexa" on the Echo, you can state a command like "Plan some 90s music" or “OK Google”, what’s on JSB Talks Digital this week?
* Re-purposing podcast content
When you create long-form content such as a podcast, you are filling the Internet with meaningful information for your audience across multiple channels. While
the audio of your podcast may live on a podcasting network, you must create multiple homes to amplify reach and engagement.
I convert my podcast into:
* YouTube videos
* Blog posts
* Audiograms for Insta, Facebook & Twitter
* Social graphics
* Tweets
* Weekly Ezine content
* LinkedIn commentary
* Blog posts
* Alexa Flash briefing
Its value to me and my business right there with one episode is massive. I’m feeding the Goliaths of the Internet – search (Google) and social and now smart speakers.
JSB Talks Digital on International Podcast Day
In Conversation with Amanda Webb
JSB in conversation with Amanda Webb, our love affair with podcasting and why we can’t live without them.
Shoutouts: IPD Founders and The Global Community of Hosts
Steve Lee (founder of Modern Life Network) heard a radio announcement for National Senior Citizens’ Day. Thinking that was pretty cool, it begged the question of why wasn’t there a day of celebration for podcasting. That’s when Steve said to himself , “Let’s create a Podcast Day!” and so it was born in 2013. Along with Daniel J. Lewis this now global event celebrates the medium of podcasting and recognises the efforts that we all put in to serve our own niche audiences.
Last three podcasts I listened to are:
1. Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday with Jack Canfield on Fulfilling Your Soul’s Purpose
2. JSB Talks Digital #118
3. Chris Ducker, in conversation with Sunny Lenarduzzi about how to use YouTube to Grow Your Personal Brand

The podcasting tool that saved my working week this week is Repurpose.io
