Speaker:It's Stimple and wishing you a very happy cyber Monday.
Speaker:I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend.
Speaker:So it is cyber Monday.
Speaker:And that means that it's the best time to get the greatest deals on
Speaker:everything that you need, including.
Speaker:Deals for launching a podcast.
Speaker:So today I'm going to talk about cyber Monday for podcasters, and I'm
Speaker:going to go over, what are some of the best deals for launching a podcast?
Speaker:And I've got a really exciting surprise for you guys, because the first thing
Speaker:I'm going to talk about that is a really amazing sweet deal is one
Speaker:that I put together exclusively for
Speaker:you guys.
Speaker:Because I believe that there need to be more podcasters out there in 2022.
Speaker:And I also believe that everyone has a message to share with the world.
Speaker:And it is your time.
Speaker:To get your voice out there to get your message out there and to really
Speaker:set yourself up for an amazing 2022.
Speaker:So I've put together a cyber Monday special for launching your podcast
Speaker:for my one day live masterclass.
Speaker:I've done a couple of classes before and everyone who attended
Speaker:absolutely loved the masterclasses.
Speaker:And you guys, normally this masterclass is 4 97 and also the price is going to
Speaker:be going up next year, but exclusively for cyber Monday and the week of cyber
Speaker:Monday might extend it for a few days.
Speaker:So you guys have a chance to listen to this episode.
Speaker:So it's a live five-hour masterclass via zoom.
Speaker:And instead of 4 97, you're going to get it for 2 97, but that's not
Speaker:all I've thrown in so many bonuses to make this a really amazing offer.
Speaker:I've never offered this before, and I probably won't be offering
Speaker:anything like this ever again.
Speaker:So you're also going to.
Speaker:A free one hour podcast coaching call exclusively with
Speaker:me, which is valued at $300.
Speaker:And then you're also going to get a free ticket to a future.
Speaker:Masterclass that I'm holding called marketing your podcast.
Speaker:Because once you have a podcast, you also need to know how to market it, to
Speaker:get it out there to a broader audience.
Speaker:It doesn't just grow on its own.
Speaker:You have to know how to do the marketing for it.
Speaker:And that's valued at $200.
Speaker:And this one you should be really excited about is a free ticket to a.
Speaker:Instagram for business marketing masterclass.
Speaker:You guys, this master class is going to be live.
Speaker:It's going to be about two hours.
Speaker:And that right there is valued at $400.
Speaker:And then the other thing you're going to get.
Speaker:Is a free bonus follow-up session.
Speaker:That's going to be four to six weeks after the one day launcher podcast masterclass,
Speaker:because we're going to make sure that you have everything you need to launch.
Speaker:And in between the two sessions, you're going to have homework.
Speaker:You're going to work on recording your episodes and then you're
Speaker:going to launch and we're gonna.
Speaker:Big party together that I will throw you guys on clubhouse, and you're also
Speaker:going to get a replay of the masterclass.
Speaker:So in case you want to, go back and listen to it and really
Speaker:understand all the concepts,
Speaker:and what are you going to learn in this masterclass?
Speaker:This is really key.
Speaker:You're literally going to learn from.
Speaker:Everything that you need to know about launching your podcast and even more.
Speaker:It's very, very comprehensive.
Speaker:I mean, think about it five hours, plus all of these other free masterclasses.
Speaker:This is an education in itself.
Speaker:So what are you going to learn about?
Speaker:You're going to learn about.
Speaker:'cause that's a question.
Speaker:I get a lot.
Speaker:What equipment should I use?
Speaker:What type of microphone?
Speaker:How do I record my episodes?
Speaker:How do I record video?
Speaker:How do I, live stream, like all of these things.
Speaker:So we're going to talk about equipment and tech.
Speaker:We're going to talk about content creation and how do you come up with ideas?
Speaker:What are your topics going to be for your show and how do you come up with
Speaker:creative ways to title them appropriately?
Speaker:So that they're found on page one of Google, we're going to talk
Speaker:about marketing your podcast and that's going to include, everything
Speaker:from Instagram reels to LinkedIn, to Pinterest you name it.
Speaker:And we're also going to talk about.
Speaker:Monetizing your podcast, because the whole point of having a podcast is
Speaker:so that you can grow your influence and grow your income over time.
Speaker:And then we're also going to talk about how do you host your podcast?
Speaker:How do you set up a website for it, or what's an easy way to get a quick website
Speaker:without spending thousands of dollars.
Speaker:We're going to talk about how to get show notes done, how to do podcast editing.
Speaker:And we're also going to talk about.
Speaker:Interviews dials and how to get guests and also how you can set
Speaker:yourself up for success so that you can get sponsors down the road.
Speaker:So I'm going to link.
Speaker:To the masterclass details in the show notes and how you can sign up.
Speaker:So basically just look at the show notes and you can click and you can get all
Speaker:the details of what I just covered.
Speaker:And you can sign up.
Speaker:I am going to say though, spots are limited.
Speaker:So if you're interested in signing up for the masterclass, make sure that you
Speaker:do sign up as soon as possible, because if this class sells out, I don't know
Speaker:when the next class is going to be.
Speaker:It might be a couple of months from now.
Speaker:And in case you can't make this class, but you're interested in
Speaker:getting this deal for a future class.
Speaker:Just send me an email.
Speaker:My email is going to be linked in the show notes, and I might be able to let
Speaker:you sign up for this offer and then, we can offer it to you for a future class.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So I hope you guys are super excited as I am to helping you launch your podcast.
Speaker:I hope to see you in my launch, your podcast one day live masterclass, and
Speaker:now I want to go over some other cyber Monday deals for launching a podcast.
Speaker:The first one I'm going to talk to you about is riverside.fm.
Speaker:That is what I use.
Speaker:That's my recording studio, so I can record audio and I can record video
Speaker:and I can conduct my interviews with other guests within this platform.
Speaker:And this platform is amazing for so many reasons.
Speaker:And one of them is that it records on separately.
Speaker:So if the person that you're interviewing , they had a bad internet connection.
Speaker:Well, it's going to record on separate tracks so that when you download the
Speaker:files, you will see that the resolution is way better than it was in real life.
Speaker:And that's a game changer because you don't want to have
Speaker:to redo a whole interview.
Speaker:Because their internet wasn't that good.
Speaker:And it's really a lifesaver.
Speaker:Also it records audio in WAV files, which are super high quality audio
Speaker:files, and it helps you sound amazing and helps your show sound professional.
Speaker:And then the other cool thing is that they've recently added.
Speaker:The ability to live stream as well, to Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, and
Speaker:that's all included in their monthly plan.
Speaker:And then it also has a feature now to, allow you to have live call-ins for
Speaker:your podcast, which is super exciting.
Speaker:If you use my link that's going to be in the show notes to all of my links are
Speaker:going to be in the show notes for all the resources I'm giving here, you can see.
Speaker:The standard plan for $15 a month.
Speaker:If you buy the annual plan are you can get it for $19 a month.
Speaker:And the cool thing is you do get a free trial for one hour to try it out first.
Speaker:So this way you can be sure that you like it, and you're not obligated
Speaker:if you don't like it, but trust me, you guys are going to love it.
Speaker:And it's actually more cost effective than other platforms too.
Speaker:there's also another platform called stream yard, but that's going
Speaker:to be a bit costlier than this.
Speaker:I will also link that if you guys want to check it out.
Speaker:And it just slightly different in terms of features and functionality,
Speaker:that one allows you to have more customization to the lower third.
Speaker:We can have like a scrolling.
Speaker:Banner go across and things like that.
Speaker:And you can live stream with that as well.
Speaker:But it's going to be significantly higher than riverside.fm.
Speaker:And then I want to talk to you guys about what I use for hosting my podcast.
Speaker:So when you have a podcast, you guys, you do have to have a hosting
Speaker:platform where it's hosted and it's distributed out to all of the different
Speaker:platforms like apple podcasts and Spotify and Stitcher and all of those.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:The platform that I use and I absolutely love it is captivate.fm.
Speaker:And captivate is amazing because.
Speaker:They're audio players are absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker:And every week they send out emails that they are working on
Speaker:new features and functionality.
Speaker:So they keep adding more features.
Speaker:And recently they just added the ability to have pre-roll ads for monetization
Speaker:are for even promoting your own.
Speaker:You know, products and services are for sponsors.
Speaker:that's a really great feature that they've just added and you can get that for.
Speaker:$17 a month on the yearly plan, are $19 a month.
Speaker:And that's for the personal plan, which should be sufficient
Speaker:if you're starting out.
Speaker:And then the cool thing is they also give you free access to their captivate growth
Speaker:labs to learn how to grow your podcast, audience, and, and market your podcast.
Speaker:So that's pretty amazing as well.
Speaker:But definitely love it.
Speaker:And you'll also get a free website, and you can have your own domain
Speaker:that you can, you know, put for it.
Speaker:and you get unlimited shows.
Speaker:If you want to have more than one show, you can add three or four shows if you
Speaker:want, and you don't have to pay more.
Speaker:It's all based on downloads.
Speaker:So you can check out their different, pricing tiers based
Speaker:on how many downloads you get a month, but highly recommend that.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So the other one I'm going to talk about in general is, blue host.
Speaker:And that's going to be for website hosting.
Speaker:And I really liked blue host because they also include an SSL certificate
Speaker:in your website hosting, which is something that if it's not included,
Speaker:it's going to cost you a lot more to pay.
Speaker:Extra for that.
Speaker:And for example, when I compare blue host with GoDaddy go,
Speaker:daddy doesn't include that.
Speaker:Or at least they didn't the last time I checked.
Speaker:so they have a huge discount right now on website hosting.
Speaker:So I'm going to put my affiliate link for you guys as well.
Speaker:In the show notes, you can check it out to get the discounts.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So the other thing that I always get asked about is editing.
Speaker:How do I edit my podcast?
Speaker:How do I edit my show?
Speaker:So my favorite platform for podcast editing and also for video
Speaker:editing is called descript.com.
Speaker:And I love it because it's one tool, but with it, you can edit your podcast
Speaker:and the features are absolutely amazing.
Speaker:You can even remove all the filler words you want by pushing one button.
Speaker:And then it also has video editing, which you can edit by removing the word.
Speaker:And that makes it super easy to edit your videos without paying someone
Speaker:else, hundreds of dollars to do that.
Speaker:So if you're on a tight budget, this is a tool that you want to be able
Speaker:to do all of this stuff yourself.
Speaker:The other cool feature that descript.com has is that it has screen
Speaker:recording and it has transcriptions.
Speaker:So definitely check it out.
Speaker:I use it for every single episode that I edit.
Speaker:And I think that you guys will find it extremely helpful.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So the next one I want to talk about is otter.ai.
Speaker:otter.ai is a great platform for transcribing.
Speaker:Your show notes and it's also great for note-taking and I
Speaker:also use it for zoom meetings.
Speaker:If I'm having a meeting with a client or doing a VIP day, I can push the button
Speaker:and I can record the entire conversation and this way have it to send back to them.
Speaker:I even use it to respond back to emails because it saves me so much time.
Speaker:, if you want to learn more about otter.ai, I mean, it's absolutely
Speaker:amazing and it is a Mustang.
Speaker:You can listen to episode 33 on my podcast, mesmerizing marketing, which
Speaker:you're listening to right now on eight ways to use otter.ai to set up
Speaker:your business for success in 2022.
Speaker:So definitely want to check that one out.
Speaker:The other platform that I'm going to share is going to be for podcast marketing.
Speaker:So obviously when you have your episodes, you want to be able to market.
Speaker:And distribute them to Instagram and LinkedIn and Facebook.
Speaker:And you want to even think about integrating with smart
Speaker:speakers and all those things.
Speaker:So the platform that I love for social media marketing and
Speaker:management is hello, whoopee.
Speaker:And it is so amazing because it's actually artificial intelligence,
Speaker:social media marketing.
Speaker:So it's powered by AI and it does so many things for you in an intelligent
Speaker:manner that you can save so much time and it's super affordable.
Speaker:You guys it's less than.
Speaker:60 to a hundred dollars a year.
Speaker:So you guys can check that out.

Speaker:with the hello Wolfie founder, Arjun wri,
Speaker:I will link it in the show notes for you guys, but definitely this is an absolute
Speaker:modern way to market your business.
Speaker:It's based on emoji marketing, if you didn't know.
Speaker:By putting emojis and theirs in your social media posts, you're going
Speaker:to get way more engagement and your posts are going to perform better.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So the next tool I want to talk about is, for livestreaming.
Speaker:So a lot of podcasters ask me, well, how do I, do a live podcast where
Speaker:I can stream everything out to like, you know, tons of different platforms.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:For that I recommend restream.io and it allows you to live stream
