In the final episode of season six, I reflect on my podcasting journey and share tips for launching and maintaining a successful podcast.

I talk about the importance of choosing a catchy podcast name, creating an eye-catching thumbnail, and developing an engaging intro and outro.

Key Takeaways:

• Choose a catchy podcast name that aligns with your theme and consider SEO considerations for discoverability.
• Create an eye-catching thumbnail that reflects your branding and use photos to personalise it.
• Keep the intro concise and engaging, and include a call to action in the outro.
• Consider different podcast formats, such as interview-style or solo episodes, based on your preferences and time constraints.
• Vet guests to ensure they align with your podcast's theme and maintain a high-quality audience experience.
• Use tools like Calendly for guest bookings, Buzzsprout for publishing, and Adobe Premiere Pro for editing.
• Consider recording in seasons to allow for breaks and flexibility in your podcasting schedule.
• Consider outsourcing editing to save time and ensure high-quality sound.
• Use Decipher, an AI tool, for automated transcription and show notes generation.

In this episode of The Committed Creative podcast, Amanda shares her journey from accidentally starting her own business after her son was born to building a successful career in podcasting, social media training, and teaching creativity.

Amanda speaks about the importance of blogging and content creation for businesses, the challenges of finding work-life balance as a self-employed creative, and the impact of social media on creativity.

Amanda also provides insights into her work with the Creative Schools program and offers advice for those looking to transition from a 9 to 5 job to pursue their creative passions.

Key Takeaways:

• Blogging and content creation are still valuable tools for businesses to increase website traffic and establish thought leadership.
• Amanda emphasises the importance of flexibility and autonomy in her work and has no desire to return to working for someone else.
• Social media can be a powerful marketing tool for businesses, but it's important to identify the platforms where your target audience spends the most time.
• Time and confidence are common challenges for business owners when it comes to social media, but starting small and being authentic can help overcome these obstacles.
• The Creative Schools program aims to foster creativity in students by partnering creative practitioners with classroom teachers to co-teach creative projects.
• Many adults lose touch with their creativity due to a focus on results and a lack of permission to play. Amanda encourages adults to reimagine their future and prioritise creativity in their lives.

If you ever wanted to make the break from the 9 to 5 and pursue your creative passions, then this is the podcast to listen to.
