GO, GO, GO Promote Your Show - You Can't Please Everyone
Description
The step of every journey starts with a single step. You've gone to great lengths to make a good episode. Now you're ready to promote your show, and everyone says "find your audience," but how? Today I do a couple quick Google searches and show you what I came up with for a friend who has a podcast that is a book of fiction (super niche). We also talk about dealing with "trolls" who leave negative comments on your blog posts, etc.
If you are thinking about speaking at New Media Expo, you need to get your submission in BEFORE 10/24. I give some tips on what I'm looking for at my blog.
Interview With an Internet Troll [3:40]There will be people who hate everything you do. They have nothing nice to say, and in some cases will use very offensive words. But keep in mind:
1. They don't have the courage to do what you do (create content). They only tell you how bad your content is.
2. Many times they do it in an anonymous fashion (again, lack of courage).
3. They DID leave a comment. You MOVED someone to hate you. That's a plus. It doesn't seem like a plus, but it is.
