Ratings & Reviews: Your Questions Answered

I bet you've heard it before, you're listening to a podcast, it's winding down and the host says, "Thanks for joining me today. Make sure you go leave a rating and review and subscribe to the show. Help us get the show out in front of more people." How many times has that statement actually led you, as a listener, to go leave a rating and review? I'm going to guess, never. And that's true of most listeners.  So, how do we as podcast hosts get listeners to leave us ratings and reviews? Are they even helpful? Do we need podcast ratings and reviews? Does it actually help the show to get in front of more listeners? I took some listener questions all about this topic and I am answering them on this episode. Plus, I give you a quick tip on how to effectively get ratings and reviews from your listeners. Spoiler alert, it's probably a lot simpler than you think!  Let's get to it!  Get all the links from this episode and the full show notes here:  https://alanadawson.com/2020/11/09/ratings-re/ LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Email me at [email protected] or fill out this form if you'd like to find out more information about my coaching services or Done-For-You Podcast Package mentioned in this episode JOIN THE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY Consider this your invitation to join The Podcasting Party Community Group on FB.

Om Podcasten

Are you wanting to start a podcast but are overwhelmed by the amount of information about podcasting? Are you confused by all the technical language, and technology? Are you frustrated by how expensive equipment and the costs associated with podcasting can be? Or do you have a podcast? Are you stressed out trying to create content, record, edit, and upload your episodes each week? Are you frustrated by the lack of growth you see even with all your hard work and dedication? Are you burnt out and ready to quit? Then you’re in the right place. The Podcasting Party is a podcast for podcasters about podcasting. As a podcast coach, I have seen a huge theme emerge with the women I coach: potential podcasters believe in the message they want to share through their podcast but they lack the confidence in themselves when it comes to learning the technology and starting their podcast. They spend months trying to figure it out, google their way through, and by the time they make it to me, they are stressed out, overwhelmed, and frustrated. Beginner podcasters come to me burnt out and ready to throw in the towel. The message they once believed in is now dwarfed by the overwhelm and frustration they feel having to produce a show each week. I’m on a mission to help potential and current podcasters take the stress, overwhelm, and frustration out of podcasting. I believe that podcasting one big party, and you’re invited. Come join me and let’s put the party back into podcasting!
