From Brainstorm to Launch in 65 Days
My Podcast Journey + First Episode & AMA Discount! (It's Finally Here!)
Hey everyone,
The moment I've been waiting for is finally here! I'm bursting with excitement to announce the official launch of my new podcast, The Social Dream Machine.
This project has been a whirlwind adventure, taking a little over 65 days to go from a spark of an idea to a full-fledged podcast ready to inspire fellow creators and solopreneurs.
Remember back in February? That's when the seed was planted.
I was consumed by the question: how do creators and solopreneurs make their first dollar online?
Fast forward a couple of weeks, fueled by countless cups of coffee and late-night brainstorming sessions, The Social Dream Machine was born.
But the journey wasn't without its challenges.
Let's delve into the nitty-gritty of the launch process and the valuable lessons I learned along the way.
Prepping for Launch Day Bliss: The Stockpile Strategy
One of the biggest takeaways?
Stockpiling episodes is your secret weapon against launch day stress.
Imagine having a bank of pre-recorded and edited episodes ready to go. No scrambling, no last-minute editing marathons – just pure launch day zen. Trust me, it's a game-changer!
The Editing Timeline Trap: Setting Realistic Expectations
This one might sting a bit. When outsourcing editing, don't solely rely on the promised turnaround times. Freelancers have schedules too!
My pro-tip?
Communicate upfront and get a clear understanding of actual deadlines to avoid any unexpected delays.
The Social Dream Machine kicks off with a phenomenal interview featuring Dakota Robertson.
Get ready to dive into the story of how Dakota scaled his online ghostwriting business, achieving a jaw-dropping launch of over $250k!
Your Podcast Launch Checklist: Lessons Learned
Here's a peek at the checklist that kept me on track (and some bumps I encountered along the way):
