Today we discuss how to consistent with your podcast for long term success, why consistency is important, tips to stay consistent, and what to do if you promised to much content when you started your podcast.

Steps for Skill Mastery:

  1. Review your podcast
  2. Setup strategies for consistency

Step 1: Review Your Podcast

Now that you have launched your podcast, you want to take a quick review to make sure this is something you can be consistent with.

Creating an ongoing podcast can be time consuming and takes real dedication. So it's important to know if you can keep up with it's production.

Activity: Journal & Reflect

Answer the following questions:

  • What's working well for my podcast?
  • What's not working well for my podcast?
  • What are potential solutions to the things that aren't working well?
  • What's one thing I can do right now to improve my podcast?
  • What do I love most about my podcast?

But what if after you’ve already started, you realize that you’ve bit off more than you can chew?

No worries. We all get excited about making a podcast in the beginning before we know how much work it takes. It happens.

In any case, just be honest with your audience. Weigh how much time it takes to make the podcast vs the quality of each of the episodes you want to create. Always lean towards better quality. So if that means doing episodes less often then you originally promised, that's ok! It's better to put out quality content!

Activity: Review Your Schedule

Assess the publishing schedule you have created for yourself and decide if the frequency is right for you. If not, set a new frequency of publishing episodes that works better with your schedule.

Remember we are trying to be in this for the long term, so pick a schedule that will actually work for you.
