Episode Transcript
In an earlier episode of OneMinute Podcast Tips, I spoke about
the importance of having areally good elevator pitch for your
podcast, and I'll leave a linkto that in the show notes so you
can check that out afteryou've listened to this episode.
But more so than having a goodelevator pitch, being able to describe
your podcast in as few wordsas possible is a really effective
skill to work on and improve.And this is what I call the ten wor
rule. If you can describe yourpodcast in ten word or less, it
(00:52):
can really help you attractnew listeners. So, for example, a
podcast I listen to is PiecingIt Together by David Rosen. This
is a movie podcast, but it's amovie podcast with a difference,
and that comes across inDavid's own example of the ten word
rule. When asked to describehis podcast, David always says it's
a podcast about movies and themovies that inspired them. And that's
the perfect description forhis podcast, which looks at the influences
(01:13):
behind some of the mostpopular movies today. So take a look
at your own podcast and try tonarrow it down to ten word or less.
How you would describe thepodcast to someone that's asking
for the very first time. Untilthe next time, happy podcasting.
