How to lock down big-name guests for your show. Several different ways you can start to change up your content to spread your message (and the messages of others) further. “Every time you keep trying (on reaching out to the guest), you have to come at it from a new angle.” -  Lauren Tickner *** Season TWO is COMING!

Short answer. NO. Long answer ehhhhhh it depends. Today I have a short rant for you that might persuade you not to have an intro. Sometimes they are needed, and other times they are not. You will find out if your podcast needs an intro all of the time, some of the time or not at all. Think of your podcast like how you structure a sales letter. - Luis Diaz Want to launch a podcast but only record the interviews and nothing else? Connect with me to see if we can help. Questions?

Have you ever wondered how some people could completely crush it with challenges? Well, I did and that's why after meeting James at a recent mastermind event in Clearwater Florida I knew I had to share what he does with Dominators out there who listen to this show weekly. James and George are the founders of Remote Fit Pro; they are experts in teaching trainers how to run successful challenges to bring in new business and create fast results. Moreover, I believe they are experts in experiential marketing, which is experimentally powerful. In this interview, James and George share some fundamental truths about measuring and tracking your numbers. There are a few key metrics they mention in the episode that they follow so take notes! This interview also shares what podcasting has done for their business and how it contributed to their massive growth over the last 18 months. Also, they share super simple “hacks” they use to almost demand engagement within their Facebook groups. I was very impressed, and I know y

PDS #36Have you ever been excited to read through some transcripts?!Probably not.So why do you think your listeners will be?Transcripts are excellent if you’re planning on writing a book or want to use them to pull out quotes.It’s hard to justify the cost of doing them every single episode even if they are very cheap in some cases.And when they are cheap and not very accurate does it make sense to put them out?If you are still committed to putting out transcripts, this episode will share with you two ways you can make them more useful for your listeners.By the way, my book will be launching SOON!Want a free copy?(For the MONTH OF APRIL ONLY)I’ll be giving away FREE copies for reviews on the podcast.DM me your podcast review and address, and I’ll send you a copy of a REAL BOOK (U.S) only, but I’ve got something for my International Dominators too! When did you ever find a transcript helpful?- Luis Diaz Want me to help you launch and grow your podcast?

  Probably one of the most exciting interviews I’ve done in a while. Today I’m joined by entrepreneur, former WWE Women’s Champ Celeste Bonin and one of our podcast partners here at Podcast Domination. I wanted to bring her on because she has a hilarious personality, a great storyteller, a very honest human who’s been through a lot. She is an entrepreneur who had a lot of ups and downs and made it through them. We get into a lot of WWE. So if you're a fan of wrestling, like I was when I was younger, you'll enjoy this episode. Kind of takes you behind the scenes. You will also hear a bit of personal branding and some funny, interesting facts about Kava and what that is. This is not the typical flavor of the episode of the podcast. However, it is very entertaining. And you'll learn a thing or two. Enjoy!

One thing you can do to grow a podcast substantially faster is to COPY others that have done it…. I’m a fan of copying and stealing. Not maliciously of course, but the concept of modeling and adapting stuff. I’ve done it all my life. Podcasting is no different, look at what is working then see how you can spin off a similar concept that works. Today, I’ve done one. Guess and do it. Find out if it works for you :) MY CHALLENGE. Take ONE of these ideas and test it out next episode or new few episodes. Then Tag me on IG @Luisryandiaz so I can give you a shout out! “Don’t ask. Demand it.

Okay take a step back and think about all the hard work you put into your podcast.   I bet it is a lot, and I bet you're not getting paid directly to do it.   I’m no different as I write this. It's 12:49 AM, jeezz and yes I STILL write my intros because I fell I need to inject my corny sense of humor and slick talkin’ in here and there :)   So, how much time does it take to produce YOUR podcast?   36mins? One hour ? 2 hours? 5 hours?   Think about the process for a sec.   There is tracking down the guest, setting up the interview, preparing for the meeting, doing the interview, editing the audio, writing show notes, doing graphics, so people even know it exists lol.   Then sending the files to the guest.   And praying to God that they even make a faint attempt to share it…   Jeez.  That was a lot of typing.   So how long is it for you?   Here’s a better question how much do you charge per hour for what you do?   $100? $200 $300 $750 ?   Is it worth it? You decide.   Enjoy! “The amount of time and energy it ta

Spotify, Pandora Castbox, Podbean, and many others are legit ways to build an audience in other areas. Apple Podcasts/ iTunes is still essential. BUT don’t forget other places are sprouting, growing and moving in. PLUS these smaller directories are Often more willing to help you improve so long as you reciprocate the value. “A lot of the times we always forget about the other podcast directories, we just focus on iTunes or Apple Podcast.

I love email marketing but there are two things that make it not the best tool for me.   I’m not good at it. It’s getting harder to hit the inbox and get your message read. So you’ve got to be DAMN GOOD.   So for me, ManyChat is something that's, not quite as competitive as email plus open rates are better.   Today, you’ll learn some strategies on how to use your podcast and ManyChat together to build awareness, leads and some ideas around incorporating flash sales on your episode.   You don't want to stand out to everyone, but you want to stand out to the people who you can actually serve and get paid to do so. - Luis Diaz Connect with me luis@podcastdomination.co Timestamps 1:00 One tool to use to leverage your podcast reach 1:41 Why do you need to use chatbots to grow your audience, increase downloads and build authority 3:53 In-depth training; set up a mini-training using ManyChat 5:35 How ManyChat will solve the problem of podcasters that wanted to track their data 6:22 Shownotes and bonuses; put them

What is Newsjacking?   Is it legal? HA that was what I asked the first time I heard of this while scrolling through my emails.   A few months later I ran into the work of David Meerman Scott, the dude who created it (whom I’ve met and had the chance to speak to). The guy is brilliant and the method WORKS.   So today, we dive to newsjacking and how to bake this into your PODCAST content.   Secret….I’m VERYYY big on this right now and it's not mine (like most of my good ideas haha).   It's being the “Oprah” of your brand. (Shout out to Craig Ballantyne) I’ve adapted it to be more of the “ESPN” of your industry.

PSTTTT can I tell you one secret about podcasting …? I learned this after researching, studying, analyzing, and analyzing tons of the top shows, the Pat Flynn’s, John Lee Dumas’, the Tim Ferriss’ for years… year freaking years. I BET you won’t see this coming; I know it because I didn’t see it either. It was pretty refreshing but again a stark reminder that this is an actual long game. Okay okay, I’ve teased it enough, the secret…? For your show to grow, you’ve got to get scrappy and resourceful. Today I’m going to help you achieve those TWO things. You see shows grow over timeeeeee not overnight. Even the BIGGEST names have come to me saying “man I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t grow my show.” You’d be shocked to see it not only you. Scrappy and resourceful means you use every piece of real estate, every opportunity, every collab, every post (well okay almost every position), every new relationship to promote, share and connect with new potential podcast listeners. This episode is going to help you

What are the questions you need to ask yourself BEFORE you press record? If you are familiar with Pastor Andy Stanley, you might find this familiar. After hearing him and Donald Miller speak about these questions I noticed something. There wasn’t any template or worksheet for Podcasters to use to prepare thoroughly for a podcast episode. So using these questions, I developed the Perfect Podcast Episode Planner to help you create content that sticks. Be sure to try these out before recording your next episode to make sure what your creating is going to be relevant, valuable, and it STICKS. Let me know what you think on INSTAGRAM @luisryandiaz.
