What is Stamped Social?
Stampede Social is an Instagram platform for podcasters, and creators in general, which we, us podcasting, are. The key thing that it does is, on Instagram, it helps deliver your podcast episodes to your fans via automated direct message so you don't have to send them to link in bio.

How Does it Work?
If a listener uses a specific hashtag to you on Instagram they get a DM from you that says, “Tha...

You want to get into YouTube. You want to look better than your webcam, but you don't want to put out $600 for a camera.
Today I have a way to make great videos using the camera in your pocket.
Camo is an app that works with a PC or a Mac, iOs or Android, and it turns your camera into a webcam ready to stream and record you looking your best.

You have a guest show up who is in a room made of glass using a blue yeti microphone setup to pick up in every direction. You either tell the person to come back when they understand this is a podcast and not a zoom meeting or you bite the bullet and light your time on fire spending the next half a day trying to clean up their file.

I have a client who records in almost that situation. I've told them to get close to ...

Our audience has contacted you about merch, and you don't have a lot of time to think about this; that is when Spreadshop comes into play. They have a table of prices that shows what they pay for an item; for example, they have different types of t-shirts that range from $15 to $20 US. If you want to make money, you raise the price a bit, set up your store in minutes, and they handle everything else.

Their store is s...

One way to know what your audience wants is to create a community. While there are free tools like Facebook,  you don't own your community in Facebook. I once was banned from my own Facebook groups for letting them know group coaching was starting in 5 minutes. It took WEEKS to regain access (Facebook is now known for their awesome customer service). 

When I discovered Heartbeat I was really impressed. I have spoken a...

One of the toughest parts of creating content is doing it on a regular basis. Today's tool is called Syllaby. You can use it like an SEO tool and type in the topic for your show and it will show you what people are searching for around this topic.

When you click on that topic, you can then choose to have it write a script for you. This can be a short script or an entire article. Their goal is to help you make video, ...

One of your fears when you start podcasting is, what if you change your mind? What do I do with my gear? I recently cleared out a closet and found tons of stuff I had bought over the years that were sitting there depreciating, so I have decided to list it on Sweetwater.com's used gear section called "Gear Exchange."

In the same way that eBay charges a fee, so does Sweetwater. From their website, "Gear Exchange tr...

You've been podcasting for a while, and you notice that all those files are starting to chew up your hard drive (ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE DOING VIDEO). So today, I have a free resource to start (and eventually, it will be almost free).

Backblaze is a service I use to back up computers. I once had a hard drive crash, and they saved me. They also offer a cloud storage option. These are for files that you probably will not use bu...

No matter if you are doing a live stream, a webinar, or a special meetup, you want to make sure your audience doesn't forget. Add Event is a great service that makes it super easy to provide links and buttons for your audience to click on and then add it to their calendar no matter if they are using  Google, Apple, Office 365, Outlook, Outlook.com, and Yahoo.

The best part is you don't need to learn any code.

In the last episode, we mentioned mailerlite is a powerful email list and more affordable than some competitors. But what if you want a free solution?

For me, after using Mailerlite for a while, it dawned on my that I don't need all the marketing tools it provides. My newsletter is more for communicating with my audience. I started using Substack.

The exciting part of Substack is on a normal week, I might ha...

I've tried many different email lists from Sendfox to Aweber, Convertkit, and Mailer Lite. I used Mailerlite for a while about a year ago. It had one problem. It was slow. Fast forward and they've released a new version and not only is it fast but it has an AMAZING feature set. I was paying $50 for Convert and I'm paying $17 for Mailerlite.
I can send broadcasts, make pop-ups, landing pages, and a ton more. When...

I've read tons of books on story writing but almost NONE of them are "how to tell a story" but more "You should be telling stories."

Storyworthy: Engage, Teach, Persuade, and Change Your Life Through the Power of Storytelling is THE BEST book on storytelling. It is also available as an audiobook read by the author.

• Free SRT files for subtitling
• 4-step transcription process designed to achiev...
