Podcasting: Precursor To Publishing Pizzazz [Episode 238] - a podcast by Evo Terra

This week’s miniseries has been about leveraging your podcasting chops to make something that isn’t a podcast. We’ve covered:

• why you should consider making a fantastic live event 
• why you should consider making an amazing newsletter 
• why an amazing audio-based learning experience is a great idea

But that’s just three. Honestly, there are so many more I could cover. So to wrap the week, I’m doing a rollup of a few select other options that should be on your radar. They are:

• Write A Book - Whether you use your podcast to educate or entertain, there’s probably a path for you to publish a book. You already have a lot of information prepared. You've recorded dozens or maybe hundreds of episodes already. That's a lot of scripts written. That’s a lot of interviews gathered. That’s a lot of articles created. 
• Launch A Video Series - Making a focused and intentional video series on what your expertise is or where your passions lie is a smart idea. Especially if you are willing (and able) to make compelling video-based content that appeals to the algorithms of the given video platform.
• Create A Valuable Community - Communities are filled with people with shared interests. And whether you’re building one with Discord, Flick, Facebook, or a membership site, you can leverage all of your expertise as a podcaster to create a valuable community. Not just for listeners of your show. But for other people with similar passions and interests. 

No matter which of those six options you choose (or another) keep this in mind: 

The success of non-podcasting options for your podcast should have nothing to do with your podcast’s download numbers.

I know that sounds heretical. But I assure you it is not. Whatever non-podcast option you take, don’t tie the success of that option back to your podcast. They should be worth doing on their own merit. Clearly, I’m a podcast-first kind of guy. And yes, I want you to be podcast-first as well. 

But podcast-first doesn’t mean podcast-only.

Is there a non-podcasting portion of your publishing empire you’ve found success with? I'd love to hear about it. Head to Flick.group/podcastpontifications and share your...
