Hey savvies! Welcome back to another episode of Savvy Podcasting for Entrepreneurs. In today’s episode, we’re chatting about how I recorded an entire year’s worth of guest episodes in 7 days.

 

2021 is quickly approaching and it’s not too late to start planning your podcast launch for early 2021. If you’re completely lost on what to do once you record your episodes, then you need to grab my free podcast launch checklist to help guide you through the process. To grab the checklist, head to http://www.savvypodcastingforentrepreneurs.com/checklist, and get started today!

  • I found out I was pregnant back in October 2019 and knew I needed to get my booty in gear and get my podcast episodes recorded for the entire year so that come June when I had my son, I didn’t have to worry about recording new episodes until the very end of the year in preparation for 2021.
  • I am a huge proponent of batch recording episodes and this kind of took things to the next level.
  • So first, you are building that trust with your audience by sharing free content that is just as good as your paid content.
  • Batch recording is where you block off time whether that’s a full day each week or even do like I did a full week and record a ton of episodes at once instead of randomly taking podcast interviews throughout each week.
  • So preparing for this batch week was definitely a bit of a process. I first made an outreach list of everyone I wanted to interview and started sending out emails about a month out from the batch week so they’d have time to pick a day that best fit their schedule that week. 
  • The week before recording, I sat down and made a list of the questions for each person and then scheduled them to be sent out the day before we were set to record our episode.
  • Make sure to allow a break between calls. I usually do about 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after just in case the interview goes over by a little I’m not rushing them to make it onto the next interview.
  • I also think it’s important to block off time for lunch. I usually block off 11 am to 12 pm for lunch so that I don’t have to cram a meal in between interviews.
  • Make sure to set a cap on the number of interviews you conduct each day.
  • While batch recording your guest episodes in just one week for the entire year may not work for everyone, you should definitely give batch recording a try at least by batching your recordings one day a week or even taking it a step further for one day a month.
