I’m planning to reach out to some podcasters about joining their shows, starting with the ones who’ve mentioned they’re looking for guests. Here’s the DM template I’m thinking of using: Hi [Podcaster's Name], I noticed your call for podcast guests and I’m excited about the possibility of joining your show! I’m Marianne, an accountability and productivity coach who helps solo entrepreneurs thrive by mastering their time and overcoming isolation. I’d be thrilled to share insights and strategies on your podcast. I’m also sending over a podcast one sheet with more details about what I can bring to your audience. Can we chat about a potential episode together? Marianne. @Eric Howell what do you think? I'm also sharing my podcast one sheet for your expert review 😀

I'm planning to hold our first podcast group coaching session this coming Tuesday at 1 PM Central and another on Saturday at 8 PM Central. Please let me know if there are times that would work better for you. I'm trying to accommodate everyone's best times. They will both be recorded for the group coaching folks. cc: @Scott Weller @Kevin Suarez Sabugo @Marianne Suarez Sabugo @Mike Hicks @Faith Adebayo @Jenna Ostrye

How has everyone's week been? Has it felt like you have been stuck in a crazy funhouse or did you get a lot done this week? Answer with your favorite GIF

I am taking y 'all's advice. I will offer everything I have to keep this group open. Weekly calls where I walk you through the basics of starting a podcast. Access to my pocket coaching for the deeper stuff. You want editing help? I'll walk you through how to edit your show and get it set up and distributed. Need music? I can produce that for you or give you access to my huge library of music. Need extra help? We can do some one on ones to walk you through whatever you need. It's basically an all access pass to the 10 years of my podcasting knowledge. After this month together, you will have a podcast out into the world. I have producer friends charging thousands for this, but I'm in a pickle so if at least 4 people take me up on this I can keep the group open. I can only do this for a select group so.. $30 a month for the first 6 people. This offer goes away after today. (CLOSED) Let me know if you are in.

If you have been considering starting a podcast, then I want to encourage you to do so now. Why now? Because it is one of the best ways to get your message out there. You are setting yourself up for success in so many ways. You get to really have deep meaningful and compelling conversations for listeners to consume on their time frame. Plus it can help reduce their stress, activate their listening skills, and improve mental health. You are making the world a better place, while getting your message out there. Doing it now allows you to make an impact without delay. As a business owner, you now have some pretty compelling credibility, the ability to get more reach out there, depending on format it's a way of maximized content creation, networking, personal connection for a stronger know like trust factor, and it's marketing that isn't expensive. You do not need anything special to start a podcast. In fact, Eric is able to help you figure out how to do it on a shoestring budget which is helpful for a start up. I have been working with Eric and our podcast since early March, and I've been blown away by his pure talent when it comes to crafting a podcast. Many of you already know, but for those who don't.. Eric and I went from concept of a podcast to our first episode being launched on the 10th day. We are now on episode 15 with #16 coming out on Thursday. It has done a lot of things for us, but especially for me. What has it done for me? It has helped me really become more comfortable with getting my voice out there and heard. It has helped me recall information I knew, but took for granted when it comes to business. It's helped some clients get to hear my knowledge and make a decision to have me as their coach. But most of all, the confidence factor is unreal. I went into this already confident of my skills, but it unlocked another side of confidence I wasn't even aware of. It's helped me grow even more and that is priceless to me. Eric makes it easy to do and understand and I'd highly recommend learning from him. He is an expert and truly cares about people which to me is important when looking for someone to mentor you.
