Side Hustle Spark 143: Podcast Topics Listeners Love

Let’s be honest…if I just lingered and lurked [I know, that sounds creepy.] at copyblogger.com and curated only their stuff, I’d be doing you right.

As I’ve said before, one post/article from copyblogger is the equivalent of a solid mini-course.
So today, let’s explore Tim Stoddart’s Podcast Topics Listeners Love.

Topics for those with no audience

  • Focus on a teardown (a look behind-the-scenes)
  • Record your stories
  • Record your experiments
  • Invite other experts
  • Curate great content
  • Partner with an established cohost

Note: Tim S. continues with ‘topics for those with an established audience’, but I don’t want to stretch the fair use privileges. Do visit the post to reap full value.

Even if you’ve tried or listened to any of the above suggestions, there is value in these reminders that register with the brain’s ‘o-yeah-that-al’ cortex.
