NARRATIVE STYLENARRATIVE PODCASTS ARE STORY-DRIVEN SHOWS, THEY RELY ON HEAVY EDITING TO SPLICE TOGETHER THE RIGHT STORY, PULLING FROM INTERVIEWS AND OTHER RECORDINGS, SOUNDS, AND MUSIC. MUCH LIKE A JOURNALIST.

RECORD IN A QUITE PLACEIDEALLY A SOUND-PROOF ROOM. BARRING THAT, A SMALLER ROOM WITH CARPETING, NOISE ABSORBING FURNITURE AND ZERO RUNNING FANS. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, RECORD UNDER A BLANKET, IT REALLY WORKS.

LEVERAGE INFLUENCER MARKETINGMake Those Around You Look Good

@Plan
Grow your influencer network before you
need them.
Co-Create with Them Nothing better than creating content with those you admire and sharing in the promotion and audience building.
Share Their Expertise Classic, Dale Carnegie. We like to hear the sound of our own names. And more than that, we love it when our ideas are discovered by others.
Make Them Successful Sounds counter intuitive, trust me on this one. If you help others succeed, I guarantee all ships will rise with the tide.
Connect on Social Share their content, comment on their content, create content about them.
