🔮 Podcast Predictions for 2021

The year is coming to a close and we’ve certainly all had a tough one. Hopefully, you’ve learned something about yourself that you can put to use when setting your goals for the new year. Travis remains optimistic that 2021 is going to be a great one! To get ready, he just pulled out a Pod Decks card that reads “make some predictions about things that will happen in your industry in 2021”.

In this episode, Travis discusses his New Year podcasting predictions, which include:

• The recent influx of advertising sponsorship in podcasting lately likely will continue because podcasts are getting so many ears. If you haven’t started a podcast yet, it’s a great time to take advantage of this wave!
  
• The world will slowly reopen in 2021, which will likely reduce the number of people who started podcasts during the pandemic that are able to continue with them. If you can hang in there, you’ll have less competition.
  
• The Clubhouse App is quickly growing in popularity and is a good way to build community -Facebook or Instagram might come up with “copycat” audio features.
  
• Video will continue to be important for podcasters. Being on camera can take some getting used to, but you don’t need any fancy equipment. If you record snippets of your podcasts on video, people will be able to relate to you more quickly and you’ll see a higher conversion rate.
  

Memorable Quotes:

• “Don’t overwhelm yourself with having to get a bunch of gear. You have as much computing power in your pocket right now as they did for the Apollo 11 space mission.”
  
• “Give your people a place to hang out.”
  
• “If people can see you...there’s something to connect to that’s bigger.”
