Resumen del Editor

Is it worth doing a podcast if nobody listens? It's not.

You started your podcast because you want to spread an important message, share your passion, and make money.

But your podcast hasn’t quite taken off like you thought it would.

What happened?

This book is for podcasters who can’t quite figure out what they’re doing wrong (and are ready to do things right).

You’ll learn:

• Why your “natural personality” may be repelling people and how to make it attract listeners to your podcast like a magnet
• What to do when a company tries to “lowball” you on advertising fees (Do nothing, except send them the email in the sponsorship chapter.)
• It’s easy to screw up an interview. To be sure you don’t run into any problems, use my “guest contract”.
• A six-word “trick” (learned from a 20-year radio veteran) that will instantly make you a better host
• Nine reasons to kill an interview before it happens – ignore these “red flags” and you’ll be sorry.
• What Victoria’s Secret models know about podcasting (even though you never hear them talk)
• Nervous on the mic? You have lots of company – 75 percent of podcasters to be exact. I give you a 5-step way to cure your “stage fright”.
• If you’re scared of getting bad reviews, don’t worry – I have three simple ways to handle critics (two of which can turn critics into fans).
• Why copying top podcasters may be killing your podcast and how to develop a podcasting style that works for you (and will attract more listeners)
• My three-step “episode teaser” formula – it’s boring, but it works.
• Thinking of doing a “daily” podcast? You must listen to my advice on this first.
• Want to impress a guest? You'll learn my three-step follow up “ritual” that will make being on your podcast unforgettable (and encourage guests to promote your episodes)
• And that’s just the start....

You'll also get a free downloadable "Big Podcast Toolkit" with podcast episode templates, social media cheat sheet, a guest contract, and more to help you grow your podcast!

Best book on podcasting

I have now listened to 3 books on podcasting and read on paper an additional one and this is the best by far!

The author is also a great narrator of this audiobook!

Loved it! Thanks!

Bought book and audiobook and so glad I did.

I have been a podfan of David Hooper for a couple of years now, so of course this was a must for me.
I purchased physical book and it was so good I felt I needed to get it preferred format.

If you are at all serious about being an independent podcaster, passing the pod fade stage and just having all the knowledge possible- this book is for you.

This book is literally everything you need for the best podcasting experience.

This is a book you will use and read, resources mentioned in the book are fantastic.
Easily a reference book used nearly everyday.

As a podcast manager/ consultant I consider this to be my handbook.


Can’t wait for next book!

A total podcast guide

David Hooper really lays out the nuts and bolts of creating, sustaining, and promoting your podcast. Whether you’re starting from scratch, or just haven’t received the results that you have been searching for this book is a must read.

My podcast is over 225 episodes into it and I learned dozens of new approaches to generating titles, podcast episodes, and getting better guests.

You really can’t go wrong with this book!

Comprehensive guide on podcasting

I downloaded the audiobook version of this book, and it was a very engaging read. Kept my attention with the narration. Very comprehensive, and answered many of the questions I have/had about podcasting. I plan on starting a podcast myself so this was a great guide for a newbie like myself.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

a lot an ideas

I'm a podcaster already and it give me some perspectives that I didn't think about it before

thanks for the tips and the resources

Straight-forward, actionable advice to create a great podcast

David’s advice is what I needed 8 years ago when I launched my show. This is spot on information that clarifies the fuzzy areas of what moves to make and when. Every major area of podcasting is covered, and this is a book I will be referencing for years to come.

A tremendous resource!

This book contains so much valuable information it's obscene. Anyone who wants to grow a big podcast should read/listen to this book over and over.

The One Stop Shop For Podcasting

I own the paperback and audio version of this book. As a paperback, it can double as a weapon.

This is not someone who jumped on the podcast bandwagon and had a bunch of virtual assistants assemble some articles into a book. This is great advice, great strategies from someone who is doing it and doing it well.

This is a great mix of storytelling (based on Dave's history in marketing) and spot-on advice. Dave doesn't pull any punches and lets you know it all starts with figuring out who your audience is and then giving it to them.

He helps you avoid any of the common podcast mistakes. Dave points out that when you first start recording you don't have to release everything (a mistake many "not ready for prime time" podcaster make).

This book can be used to help you launch a podcast, Dave's experience in marketing can help the established podcaster think outside the box and engage their audience and create a steady stream of word of mouth testimonials that will get everyone scrambling to listen to your next episode (so established podcasters can use it to GROW their audience).

His years of interviewing musicians enables Dave to deliver first-hand knowledge on creating compelling interviews.

The bonus content in the audiobook is a nice addition for those (like me) who have the paperback.

Excellent information

Very insightful and thorough. I will listen to it again. it's a lot of information and I want to apply these strategies according to his layout. thanks for the valuable information.

Excellent Book for someone who needed a push.

I listened to David’s book while scripting my first podcast for publication. It has given me the confidence to just start and see what happens. Wish me luck!
