I've spoken before on why it's important to have a good elevator pitch for your podcast. But more than this is something I call the 10 Word Rule when it comes to describing your podcast in a way that can help attract new listeners.

In an earlier episode of One Minute Podcast Tips,
(00:27):
I spoke about the importance
of having a really good elevator pitch for your podcast.
And I'll leave a link to that in the show notes
so you can check that out
after you've listened to this episode.
But more so than having a good elevator pitch,
being able to describe your podcast
in as few words as possible
is a really effective skill to work on and improve.
And this is what I call the 10 Word Rule.
If you can describe your podcast in 10 words or less,
(00:47):
it can really help you attract new listeners.
So for example, a podcast I listen to
is Piecing It Together by David Rosen.
This is a movie podcast,
but it's a movie podcast with a difference.
And that comes across in David's own example of the 10 Word Rule.
When asked to describe his podcast,
David always says it's a podcast about movies and the movies that inspire them.
And that's the perfect description for his podcast,
(01:07):
which looks at the influences behind some of the most popular movies today.
So take a look at your own podcast
and try to narrow it down to 10 words or less how you would describe the podcast
to someone who's asking for the very first time.
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
Thanks for listening.
If you enjoy One Minute Podcast tips,

Until the next time, happy podcasting.
