1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,760
Hey everybody, welcome to the stream. I am going, well I meant to be a little bit early.

2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:20,640
Gonna go check and make sure the stream is everywhere it needs to be and see if everything's

3
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,080
working properly. Alright, I am live on Twitter, that's good. Let's check YouTube. That's the

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:41,760
big important one and it doesn't appear. Oh, yeah there we go. Great. So there's YouTube. If you are

5
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:51,200
joining, let me know. Say hello. Let me know where you're coming from. And if you're gonna have any

6
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:57,200
questions about creating a promotional plan today. Oh, I gotta log into, I'm not logged in Twitch.

7
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:05,360
What's going on there? This is like if I had a producer and I wasn't my own producer, this is

8
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:14,000
the main thing that I would have my producer do. This is big and annoying. Obviously, I can't just

9
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,440
log in to Twitch. Gotta get that six digit code. The worst form of two factor authentication.

10
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:32,960
Let's see if I go to my channel. Here I am. Yes, very good, very good. And finally LinkedIn.

11
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,680
Am I on LinkedIn? This is the place where I probably need to be most ardent about checking

12
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:49,520
because as far as I know, as far as I can tell, comments from LinkedIn do not come through on

13
00:01:50,720 --> 00:02:01,600
On Ecamm Live. So let me make sure to get the comments up and over here. All right, great

14
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:11,920
and grand. Okay, so what I'm gonna do today for this live stream is probably find some music

15
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,960
to play because this is going to be really more of a planning session where I

16
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,120
kind of work and talk through a little bit about what I'm doing. And it'll be fun. It's

17
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,640
kind of forced work for me, right? Something that I might not do otherwise that I'm happy to do

18
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,160
on a live stream while maybe fielding questions from people who are attending. So again, if you're

19
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:49,520
coming in here, let me know, say hello, where you coming from. Do you have a podcast? Do you not have

20
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:57,760
a podcast? If you do have a podcast, you know, tell me about it. What are you struggling with?

21
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,440
All sorts of stuff like that. I'm just setting up my environment here.

22
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,200
And then the last thing I need to do is change the sound main multi track

23
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,320
so that you can hear the music.

24
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:27,120
I will also check on a separate device.

25
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Nice. So let's do this.

26
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,200
This is pretty loud. I'll lower this a little bit.

27
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,480
Music.

28
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,880
We go. All right. Let me know how that sounds to people actually on the street.

29
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,120
Probably a little bit lower. Okay, cool. So let's do this. I don't really have anything

30
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:19,600
prepared. I'll probably just bring up like a notion document. I think it's probably what I'll do.

31
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,440
And we also make sure that you're not hearing the music twice. I don't think you are.

32
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:38,240
But let me, you could be. So let's just go through close anything. Again, let me know

33
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:45,920
if you're on the stream. Say hello. And let me know what you want to where you coming from.

34
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,640
That's a good one. Sorry, my brain's like a little bit melty today. It was a weird day.

35
00:04:52,880 --> 00:05:03,920
I what did I do? Oh, I was late to bringing my son to school because I dropped my daughter off

36
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:11,120
at the daycare and somebody had a dead battery and I wanted to help them with the dead battery.

37
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,120
And I apparently don't understand how jumping a car works. It's like I sparked a lot of things.

38
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,920
It's a new it's a relatively new car. So and I just assumed everything was kind of the same

39
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:35,040
as the old car and it wasn't so anyway, little little thrown off today. Okay. So, you know,

40
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,680
I'll just bring up a notion document here. Yeah, this will be good.

41
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:49,440
My showing anything I shouldn't show. Let's go back into light mode and share the screen.

42
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,440
So, yeah, sure is. Okay.

43
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:10,400
So this is my podcast planner. And what I could probably do is

44
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,400
is

45
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,680
we got under checklists. So I do kind of have a

46
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,520
pseudo SOP here. I also just rebranded the podcast.

47
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240
That went very smoothly. If you've been following along, that's what most of my

48
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:45,440
live streams have been about. And that went a lot more smoother, more smoother,

49
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,560
a lot more smooth than I expected it to go. So really happy about that. I'm going to bring up

50
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,120
there's no way I have the LinkedIn app here. I'm just going to bring up LinkedIn on my other screen.

51
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:08,880
So I don't have to keep switching back and forth. See if anything's coming through there.

52
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Music's still a bit loud over here on LinkedIn. Thank you, Liam.

53
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:31,680
Shout out to Liam. So let me find Apple Music.

54
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:52,320
Lower it a little bit. Also lower it here.

55
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,320
Music

56
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,360
So we'll see if that's better. Getting things set up, situated here.

57
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:25,520
Volumes down there, right? I guess I can lower this and turn up my microphone. That might also be.

58
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:36,400
Music

59
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:45,840
All right. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you, Liam. Appreciate as always your help

60
00:08:45,840 --> 00:09:00,720
in troubleshooting these things. Livestreaming is hard, y'all. Okay. So let me do this and then this.

61
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:28,720
Music

62
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,720
Okay.

63
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,960
So okay. What I'm currently doing for a promotion is not a whole lot.

64
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:51,040
I'm mostly just emailing my list. So the process for...

65
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,880
You kind of see this is like kind of an outdated SOP.

66
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:07,760
Music

67
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,600
This is apparently only read part of the comments.

68
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,400
My least favorite thing about live streaming on LinkedIn is that the comments don't show up as

69
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:30,560
comments. The comments don't show up as comments and I cannot see the whole comment in the notification

70
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:43,280
bubble, which like super drives me crazy because I can't see that now. But I'm going to guess,

71
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:55,360
Liam said... I don't want to guess. So I apologize, Liam. I can't... great. Much better. Fantastic.

72
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,720
Yeah. I like that you can stream on LinkedIn. I guess this is just like Joe's druthers about

73
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,520
streaming right now. I like that you can stream on LinkedIn and like absolutely hate

74
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:15,440
like how clunky it is. And like maybe the app is better. Like maybe I should just get the LinkedIn

75
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:27,040
app. Maybe I can check it on my phone where it maybe it's better there. But yeah, I can actually

76
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,720
see comments on the phone coming from the amazing Chester County, Pennsylvania. Wonderful place,

77
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:41,680
Chester County. Really good people living there. Yeah. Okay. So let's let's get let's actually get

78
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:50,080
into this now. I've got I think I've got everything I need up here. I'll go to Twitter. I won't go to

79
00:11:50,080 --> 00:12:03,360
Twitter. Okay. So this is this is mostly the same SOP. And it's the post production stuff.

80
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,880
Like iTunes summary. So this is like kind of dated. The actual SOP is somewhere in my VA tasks.

81
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:18,640
But the thing that I the weakest part of my game is really the

82
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,720
sharing after the fact. Part of it I think is because I've deprioritized

83
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:39,200
social media a bit. I don't feel like it it helps me in any way, shape or form.

84
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:53,200
And so I don't think the effort is is worth it. However, you know, in thinking about, you know,

85
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,720
I wrote a piece over on podcast workflows about how

86
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:10,000
short form video springing up here. I say short form video is kind of like asking

87
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,080
people to run a marathon. If they but they just want to take a walk.

88
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:23,280
Or asking people to listen to your podcast in in short form video or on social media is kind of

89
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,840
like asking them to run a marathon. When all they want to do is take a walk like they're not ready

90
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:35,600
for that yet. But there is as I conclude here there is utility to creating videos.

91
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:47,360
You know, it's it's a way to introduce you to a new audience. And I think that could be very helpful.

92
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:55,840
And so I want to I want to do the promotional stuff better. So I'm going to brainstorm a little bit,

93
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,120
maybe think through some automations. I'm probably going to get quiet

94
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:07,440
because I want to really think through this stuff. And so this is really like a watch me work kind

95
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:14,160
of session. So yeah, I think like and again, if you have any questions that come up, I have

96
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:22,400
stuff all around me. But I'll probably, you know, probably start easy and just like ask

97
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:30,320
chat gpt and then go from there. I think that's probably a good place to start. So let's bring

98
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,920
up chat gpt new chat, close the sidebar because I don't know what else is in there.

99
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:43,760
Like client work or whatever who knows. Okay. Yeah, so I'm going to get quiet and work. I'll

100
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:52,800
bump up the music a little bit. Can I do that?

101
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:03,680
Maybe move this like here. Can I tilt you up a little bit more? No. Okay.

102
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:12,720
I want it out of my way, but still accessible. Like that, I guess is good.

103
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Yeah, I figured. So guest appearance is really good. I can share a page.

104
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:12,160
This is for a podcast. It's not the episode is not out yet. But I do have a page like this where

105
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:19,600
there's an opt in and then there's a little learn more get in touch section. So I'll usually

106
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:28,400
mention my podcasts there. Now fun fact about this page is that if if you just go to it without a

107
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:35,040
podcast defined the welcome message goes away and so does the learn more about me. So it's just

108
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:42,640
like a standard opt in page that turns into a landing page. If I name the podcast, which is neat.

109
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,520
I'm like weirdly proud of this. So if you want to know how I did that, let me know in the comments.

110
00:16:49,520 --> 00:17:01,040
I'm happy to share. And in the meantime, I will go around the horn and check places where there

111
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:08,080
could be comments. Jay Klaus like this. Hey, Jay, I don't know if you're watching, but hi.

112
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,200
Now where was I? Yeah, so I mean, like, yeah, good guest appearances.

113
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:21,440
That's definitely an important thing to grow your podcast. Social media marketing is

114
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,120
where I want to do more. But like, yeah, this stuff is all really good. So

115
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:49,760
that wasn't like what are some audio clips with visuals, that's not great interactive stories.

116
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:58,880
So this is this is I think, you GC live streams. Okay. Yeah, okay, not a big fan of what I'm

117
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:21,520
getting here, which I guess I should have realized. So let me create a new page called

118
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:52,640
So, yeah, so let's start here. Obviously, there are things I know I want to do. And if I go to

119
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:59,680
the browser over to Riverside, right, like we can, and actually I told Monica, so this is a,

120
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,960
this is something I recorded today with Monica pitch, it's coming out in about a month.

121
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,760
But I told her I would send her the magic clips that Riverside generates, just to see, right?

122
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Because this is the I don't think the juice for short form clips is worth the squeeze.

123
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,640
Like if you're gonna like find them and edit them. And again, like maybe this is not me doing

124
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:41,440
social media very well, I don't think I do it particularly well. But I think I probably could

125
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:51,280
do it better without a lot more effort, maybe. That's like kind of the stuff I'm thinking about

126
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,680
in this. And I would love to automate it as much as possible. Monica actually talked about

127
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:08,560
a really good, interesting method for promoting the show through automation.

128
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:20,560
And so, okay, so let's do this. Why do I look like the Neil deGrasse Tyson meme in all of these?

129
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,840
Okay, so let's see. Let's see how this is.

130
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:33,600
Yeah.

131
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,880
What are my triggers?

132
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,360
Right.

133
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,400
What are the tasks that can happen based on the trigger? Can I just see that?

134
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,000
And I don't know what they're called until I see them.

135
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,080
Right.

136
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,440
And like seeing that list, like also kind of tells you what you can do, right? Like,

137
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,760
sometimes I'll just go into shortcuts on my phone and like see what shortcuts an app has donated

138
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,280
to be like, oh, can I, I don't know if they still, that's the terminology still, but

139
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,160
you know, I'll see like what I can do with shortcuts in a specific app because

140
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:08,640
that could give me ideas for stuff, you know, automating stuff on my phone. But I have used

141
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:17,040
this app, your AI thing. So that's like an incomplete thought. Right. That's not what we want for

142
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:22,880
social media. So let's see, maybe this one's better. Here I look like a weird, sweaty reporter.

143
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,520
Me too. This is great. I love hanging out with geeks. Most of the time I hang out with people

144
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,720
who are like really big thinkers, big concept people. And then when I talk about geeky stuff,

145
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,480
their eyes glaze over and they kind of look like they're going to pass out.

146
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:44,400
Yeah, they want to be geeks. Yeah, I think my friends do so Chris Lamar, my friend,

147
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,720
Sean Heskath and Jen Bourne, they work in a place called or they have a company called

148
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:55,360
Motivation Code that talks about like what drives you, right? Like, and so like there's like this

149
00:22:55,360 --> 00:23:01,040
big survey you take. And there's one called the visionary, which you just want to be the big

150
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:08,240
thinker. And then there's the achiever, which like wants to do the things and wants to be recognized.

151
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:14,320
So it's okay. This is more in line with the stuff that we talked about, I think.

152
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:23,040
Is this all me talking? No, so fire it, if it's not doing its job.

153
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:29,920
Yeah, because pain is worth the outcome. Right, right. And I think like reframing it that way is

154
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,480
super important because like, if your website is not performing the way it should, then you're

155
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,840
doing your website's job anyway, right? You just don't think of it that way. Or you're losing business.

156
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,320
So you can't do as much of your job. Because yeah, like, and you could have no like if your

157
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:51,520
receptionist is rude to a customer, you will hear about it. Somehow, right? Or if your project

158
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:58,560
managers are not actually answering their email, or if the, you know, tradesperson that you

159
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,240
Yeah, like these are just okay. I think, and

160
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:11,360
yeah, I don't think I'm really going to make this a crucial part of the promotion. I think a better

161
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:23,600
thing, a better way to spend my time here would be to actually like do a summary like a, so this would

162
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:30,480
be like a one to two minutes.

163
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,600
Okay.

164
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,600
Now something actually Jay Klaus

165
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,600
something that Jay, I'm going to finish this thought and then bring in Matt's comment.

166
00:24:51,600 --> 00:25:01,440
Something Jay Klaus talked about when I did a deep dive on his show was how they spend a lot of time

167
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:09,840
making the first 90 seconds clipable so that they could take the first 90 seconds of a podcast

168
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,320
and more easily clip it. I don't know if he's still doing that, but I think that's an interesting

169
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:21,200
approach because you're not really doing double duty. And so I could also rework my intros a

170
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:40,880
little bit and do that. Oh dang cheap viewers on stream boo. Thanks, Bandhammer guy. Okay, so let's

171
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:53,520
bring in Matt's comment. Am I seeing this? Is it here? No. What if Angel Hernandez was a podcaster?

172
00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:00,880
This is a really good question, I think. So if you don't know, okay, that's gone now. Great.

173
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:10,720
So if you don't know, Angel Hernandez is maybe the worst ump in baseball. But I will say

174
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Herschel Walker Herschel. Nope. Oh man, the other the umpire from the other day at the Yankee game.

175
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:32,960
Hunter Wendelstadt really giving them a run for his money. I think if Angel was a podcast,

176
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:41,760
Angel Hernandez was a podcaster. The phone would probably ring off the hook a lot during the show

177
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:50,880
because he'd just be missing calls, just missing calls from people who are calling into his podcast.

178
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:59,360
So there you go. Matt, thank you for setting me up with that joke. I appreciate it. Okay.

179
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,760
I wasn't planned either. I thought of that one off the cuff. I'm pretty proud of that.

180
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:12,960
Let me know what you think, Matt. That's the caliber and quality that you were expecting

181
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:28,880
from a stream such as this. Okay, let's bring the music back now.

182
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:58,880
Okay.

183
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,880
Okay.

184
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,400
This is another thing I need to consider too, because right now,

185
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:36,880
my guests get an email that is sent from WordPress. It's a custom plugin I wrote

186
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:45,440
that when the episode is published, it just sends them an email with a link to the episode.

187
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:55,600
And this is fine, but you know, I can't include much else.

188
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Like, I guess I can make a Dropbox folder and put it in like post meta, but

189
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:10,240
is that something I really want to do inside of WordPress? Right? I think what I'd rather do

190
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:20,640
is, okay, so let me tell you from a automation standpoint, where I think I could go with this,

191
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:28,160
I guess maybe that's the, that's really something else I should think through, right, is I have

192
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:36,640
this information and these statuses and one of the statuses is published, right?

193
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,640
And when I check aired, the status is set to publish, right? And so like that is

194
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,320
a automation in Notion.

195
00:29:46,320 --> 00:30:03,760
Oh, yeah, I see. Okay. When status is set, it's ready for scheduling set cover initial status.

196
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,360
When air is checked, the status is published, right? So it's just easier for me to quickly

197
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:15,760
check that and have the status, but the status is helpful for the Kanban board so I can see

198
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,600
where everything is, right? Kind of where everything is living.

199
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:40,080
So that's really helpful and then something I would love to do, which maybe I'll just head on over to make.

200
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,080
Beef this up for you.

201
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:56,160
Something else I want to explore while I'm here too is I use cast magic for

202
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:04,800
the repurposing stuff. And so it could be that it does a good job of getting clips.

203
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,640
I generally don't think that AI tools do a good job of writing for me.

204
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:19,280
At least not better than I would do it. And the danger that I feel I would run into is

205
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:32,960
is it better to be done or not done? Like, okay, even if AI does a worse job than I do,

206
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,040
as long as it's getting done, is that good? I don't think so in this case, right? If it doesn't

207
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:42,240
sound like me, if it's not my authentic voice, I don't think it's better because I don't just

208
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,120
want to post on social media for the sake of posting on social media. I want to post on social

209
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,320
media in such a way that will get more people to follow me, hopefully subscribe to my newsletter

210
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:58,240
or listen to my podcast, right? That's the ultimate goal here. It's not just to arbitrarily share stuff,

211
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:05,600
which I think is what a lot of clips, especially audiograms are doing, right? They're not making

212
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:13,520
content for the medium. They're just making content saying they made it. So let's see.

213
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:41,920
Uh, what is this one? RSS feed. Oh, interesting.

214
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Okay, so I might be able to let's do this.

215
00:32:47,920 --> 00:33:10,320
I don't need that anymore. The feed is not going to be that either.

216
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:28,320
Okay.

217
00:33:47,920 --> 00:34:00,320
I promise I'll tell you what I'm doing.

218
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:28,320
Okay.

219
00:34:47,920 --> 00:35:00,320
Do I not just do that?

220
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:28,320
Okay.

221
00:35:47,920 --> 00:36:00,320
Okay.

222
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:28,320
Okay.

223
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:56,320
Okay.

224
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:05,120
So I'm looking for here. Oh, I see. Oh, I see.

225
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:15,520
Okay.

226
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:37,920
The Avisa number as part of the like iTunes enclosures.

227
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:46,720
So what I was hoping I could do, which I might still be able to do is update a notion record

228
00:37:48,160 --> 00:38:03,120
based on the RSS feed. So like when when an RSS feed publishes or when a new

229
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:11,520
item is published in the RSS feed, it checks for an episode number, which I guess I could process the link.

230
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,520
Um,

231
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:28,000
I like get the number in this link, but that's very, uh, it's not great.

232
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:34,880
Because if that happened, then I'd be able to kind of add some more stuff to my notion base.

233
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,200
But it doesn't look like I can do that.

234
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,160
Okay. So let me jot this down.

235
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,360
Oops.

236
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:31,360
Okay.

237
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,560
Okay.

238
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:53,600
Yeah, this is I think going to, oh, well, yeah, if I could do that, but I could,

239
00:39:53,600 --> 00:40:02,400
I can grab the record, which will have the guests email address.

240
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:05,040
Okay.

241
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,400
But it doesn't seem like, like if I look at RSS fields,

242
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:20,960
okay, so like this will always everything before with will be the title that we find in notion.

243
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,080
Right. So if I go to notion

244
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,080
upcoming, I guess I'll be published.

245
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,440
Um, building native apps using no code as a team of one.

246
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,520
Um, because my VA knows to like take this and then add with and then the guest name.

247
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,240
And the guest name is actually a separate field and WordPress too.

248
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,040
So I guess.

249
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,040
Oh yeah, maybe I don't have to rely on the RSS feed here.

250
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:13,840
Okay.

251
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:34,720
So, what WordPress says?

252
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:43,840
So it's this one, except the name is different. So let me add a API key.

253
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:50,960
I'm going to do this for a minute.

254
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:59,200
Uh, okay, let's go to streamline solo, prenuer. Oh man, you know what?

255
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,160
I'm pretty sure the make integration was

256
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,160
was crashing the block editor for whatever reason.

257
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:23,840
And the whatever reason is that I deleted a bunch of post meta stuff when I cleaned up the

258
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:46,320
website when I moved it, which I want to talk about on a members only episode of the podcast.

259
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:51,840
Um, so let's see.

260
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,600
Well, I guess I can show you this.

261
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,320
So make connector.

262
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:15,600
I'm going to delete this and then reinstall it because if they did it the right way, which

263
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,720
maybe they did, um,

264
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:29,120
then they should also delete all of their data. So it's like kind of like we're starting from

265
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:39,680
scratch. So let's find out install, I'm going to activate and then I'm going to open a post

266
00:43:40,720 --> 00:43:45,760
in the block editor.

267
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:57,520
Nope. Oh my gosh, it's so bad. Yeah, it throws this error uncaught.

268
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:13,280
So bad. So except now that I know it's this plugin, can I actually like fix something with it?

269
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:28,880
Oh, maybe. Okay.

270
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:39,040
Okay. Uncheck all. Yeah, I probably could.

271
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:54,720
Oh my gosh, there's so much. There's still so much.

272
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:57,440
So much.

273
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:07,040
So much crap. I don't.

274
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:22,320
I don't want to get on this rant. But God, WordPress had such an opportunity to like redesign a lot

275
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:28,400
of things when they rolled out the block editor, like keeping anything associated

276
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:37,440
with a post in post meta. Maybe I don't know using more tables.

277
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:47,280
Maybe I don't know. I'm not a software engineer. I am. I'm a software engineer.

278
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:59,680
And it just kills me. Just kills me. That like all of the so that I mean that's mine.

279
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:07,680
That's mine. But like Starfish, that's gone. Like there's all of this meta that

280
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:19,200
doesn't exist anymore. So like now I need to go in and delete all of this stuff.

281
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,320
If I want to clean it up, I guess.

282
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:35,840
Um, like, okay, this this stuff doesn't matter anymore, because that was when I was using castos.

283
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,440
I mean, this is really episode number. Those are good.

284
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:51,200
Guest name and guest email. But all those things. Okay, so now let's see.

285
00:46:51,200 --> 00:47:00,240
I'm on and this is a rabbit hole for sure. But it could be good. It could be good. Let's see.

286
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:14,800
Hey, that fixed it. How about that? Okay, cool. So now I will get my API key.

287
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:26,320
Uh, from here. Man, that like super duper kills me. All right, and then we'll go back to make.

288
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:53,520
And there we go. Wonderful.

289
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,000
This also doesn't need to be every five hours. This could be

290
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:11,840
Monday's for sure.

291
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,800
Like I mean,

292
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:28,640
I mean,

293
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:44,480
what's this?

294
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:44,480
Oh, this is taking a long time. Maybe it's not. Maybe this is a completely normal amount of time.

295
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:52,320
Okay.

296
00:49:54,960 --> 00:50:00,560
Liam, I think you're probably gone by now, but thanks so much for being here. As always, I appreciate it.

297
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,760
If you're still hanging around, I mean, it appears more people have joined.

298
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:14,720
Um, and you have any questions about podcasting in general or WordPress? Let me know.

299
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:25,360
This is not right. This is why it took so long. This is fine for testing.

300
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:39,200
Um, because it does have the post meta and I can see status is publish. And that's really the thing.

301
00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:05,200
This actually is not going to, I need to delete this. Great. Okay, whatever.

302
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:29,040
Notion, get database item.

303
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:34,880
That's not going to work either.

304
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,880
Search objects.

305
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:46,880
That's probably what I want.

306
00:51:46,880 --> 00:52:01,280
If you're just joining me and you see the title and you're wondering why I'm

307
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:09,120
putzing around and make, it's because part of my promotion process wants to be,

308
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:18,240
no, uh, I want part of my promotion process to be sharing more assets with the guest.

309
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:28,880
And so, um, I right now I have a custom WordPress plugin that emails the guest when their episode

310
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:46,640
goes live. And, um, uh, and what I would like to do is include more information about,

311
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:54,320
like include, I'm sorry, include assets, like, maybe a link to the video that I record because

312
00:52:54,320 --> 00:53:00,960
I don't release the video, but I know a lot of people like that. Um, images that I create because

313
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:09,680
people will often ask me for that. Um, yeah, there we go. That's what I want. And so what I'm doing

314
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:24,720
here, one, um, what I'm doing here is searching objects, let's set up a filter. Anytime a new

315
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:31,760
article, a new episode is published on the website. I store the data.

316
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:41,280
Yeah. I store the data in the WordPress site as well, like the episode number, because I also

317
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:57,040
have the redirect automatically created. Um, and so I can associate a record in notion with a post

318
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:04,720
in WordPress that way. Um, and then I guess I could like create a feel like, but I don't need to do

319
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:10,720
that. Uh, no. So this is, oh yeah, map, right. Um,

320
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:21,280
this is where it gets hit, like data, I guess this is the database ID is what I want here.

321
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:36,000
And then update the, uh, status. I don't need to update the status actually because I have a checkbox.

322
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,000
It's called aired.

323
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:04,720
Okay. So we'll test this part.

324
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:18,080
And we'll test this part by, um, unmarking this week's episode, which is Greg Wasserman

325
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,080
as aired.

326
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,040
So now it's here.

327
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:52,080
I could also, I mean, I could also just look, I don't know if I could do that actually, right?

328
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:59,680
Do like a day comparison here. Notions, automations are very limited, which is, I know it's new,

329
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:08,240
so I can't be that frustrated by it. Like, um, it didn't even really exist until recently,

330
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:14,000
which is like one of the reasons I decided to move to it. Um, but like there's still,

331
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:20,320
I don't know, it's a little weak for, for me. Um, okay. So Greg Wasserman,

332
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,000
my expectation would be after I run this automation that it shows up here.

333
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:31,360
So first let's update this.

334
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:50,720
Oh, can I not change this?

335
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:42,240
This is taking a long time. This is going to like blow up all of my operations, I think.

336
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:49,600
Oh no, but it should only grab five. I think it's ignoring

337
00:57:49,600 --> 00:58:02,960
it. Watch posts updated. It still has to go through all the posts.

338
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:10,320
Well, we'll see what happens here. I'm going to get a bajillion errors because this is going to

339
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:23,680
error out, I'm guessing.

340
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:31,920
No, that's right. Okay.

341
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:47,280
Okay. Could not find page with ID. Okay. All right.

342
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:59,280
That works better than I expected.

343
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:05,520
Can I look at the ID here? Like is there a way to see that in notion?

344
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:28,880
Why would you want that?

345
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,880
Okay.

346
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:44,880
CD44

347
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:55,920
CD44 bundle page ID. Okay. So here.

348
00:59:55,920 --> 01:00:11,280
Yeah. Don't want that. I want the page ID. This one.

349
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,280
Okay.

350
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:50,080
Hot dog. It worked, my friends. It worked. Cool. So here's what I'm thinking from here.

351
01:00:50,080 --> 01:01:04,080
I can send an email once this episode airs to the guest because the guest's email

352
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:19,440
is also included in this information or is in notion, right? Like one of those. Is it actually?

353
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:23,280
No.

354
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:42,640
No. That's strange, but it should be included in the metadata here.

355
01:01:53,520 --> 01:02:01,120
Yeah. Great. That's wonderful. So I'll send an email from here.

356
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,840
And what I'll probably do is

357
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,720
I guess maybe add more fields to this.

358
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:24,400
Yes. Like there's some stuff I don't really need here.

359
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:34,880
Oh boy. It's after three.

360
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,560
Oops.

361
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:48,080
Photo I need.

362
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:58,880
Campaign I don't. Nothing matters. But maybe I create a Dropbox folder,

363
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:07,360
which I have my VA upload assets to anyway. And then I send the guest an email.

364
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:16,400
And I send the guest an email with all of that information in it.

365
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,000
Okay. Dan Cox coming in with a question.

366
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:28,160
There are a couple of questions. So let's do this.

367
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:36,240
Hey Dan. Okay. Thanks for being here. I started a weekly pod and can occasionally

368
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:41,680
promote on various listservs. I'm holding off on this until I have more episodes.

369
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,280
So there's more content for people to check out the show.

370
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:53,280
And then currently I have three episodes. Any thoughts on how many episodes I should post

371
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,280
before promoting it in these places? Thanks Joe. Your pod and videos have been super helpful.

372
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,360
Dan. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. The kind words.

373
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:09,920
And honestly, I think so I do get that you want to have a little bit more of a catalog

374
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:18,960
where you're sending people to right. So I but I think that if you're promoting individual episodes,

375
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:26,320
just promote them right like as they're ready because your call to action could either be

376
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:31,440
join my mailing list right like on the episode page you can have a one and you know this podcast

377
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:35,920
is just getting started and want to know when the next episode comes out. Join my mailing list

378
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:42,000
or subscribe wherever you get your podcast right at this point you want to show people that you're

379
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:49,760
you're committed to publishing and so you want them to get you want to them to subscribe as quickly

380
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:56,800
as possible. And so I don't think that there's any problem with promoting with three episodes in place.

381
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:07,040
If you do want a number, I think the number I would pick is probably eight or nine because most

382
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:15,440
podcasts don't make it past eight or nine. And so well most podcasts don't make it past seven.

383
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:22,080
So, you know, I think that if you're at eight or nine, you're showing people, Hey, I've got two

384
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:28,080
months worth of content now. If it's a weekly, I think you said it's a weekly podcast. Yeah, I've

385
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:34,800
got two months worth of content now for you to check out. And I've also have dedicated to doing

386
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:41,200
this for two months. So I'm not just like a fly by night podcaster, I'm in it for the long haul,

387
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:47,120
that sort of thing. But I think like right now you're good, definitely promoting it to your

388
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:52,880
audience. And if you have access to these lists serves, I think like, Hey, promote the first one

389
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:59,040
now and see how it does, right? I'm gonna say like, Hey, I just launched this new episode,

390
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:05,280
like this new podcast. I currently have three. The first episode is about this, I think you'll

391
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:10,720
really like it. If you do be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, you can find all

392
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:15,040
the links here, right? I think that's probably the best, or a good way to do it.

393
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:23,200
Because it's never too soon to promote something, right? And you want to build hype as much as

394
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:29,920
possible and getting people on board and listening as early as possible will will definitely help

395
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:37,120
you as well. So really good question. Thank you for asking it. And I will say my kids will be home

396
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:45,760
from school in less than 10 minutes, probably. So I'm going to wrap things up here. I think my biggest

397
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:53,360
takeaway here is that I think creating assets is going to be important for me sharing them with the

398
01:06:53,360 --> 01:07:03,360
guests is going to be important for me. But with that automation I made, I could probably also look

399
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:10,400
at automating the posting to social media, right? Like there are tools I could use like

400
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:19,840
typefully to maybe share those assets. And I'm doing more video stuff now. And so I think like

401
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:25,760
maybe doing a talking head video about the episode, right? Maybe talking about early on in the stream.

402
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:31,120
I talked about finding the right package, I talked about the content, I talked about the

403
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:40,400
game, I talked about finding the right packaging, I'll Jay Klaus. And so I think like doing more of

404
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:48,400
that, maybe I could post those videos via the Twitter API, but I'm not confident in that. So

405
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:54,800
that's probably going to be something my VA does. But I think doing stuff like that where I create

406
01:07:54,800 --> 01:08:00,640
these discrete pieces of content for social media, I didn't even I said I'd look at cast magic and

407
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:05,520
I haven't even done that maybe that's for next time. But I think building this automation is a

408
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:13,680
really good first, excuse me, first building block. Because it will allow me to automate more of the

409
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:21,840
sharing while not just having it AI generate stuff and post it, it'll be like stuff that I create

410
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:31,520
or my VA creates that will automatically get shared in a timely manner. Dan, thank you for being here.

411
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:35,200
Matt, thanks for being here. Liam, I know that you were here earlier. Thanks to everybody.

412
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:42,400
So I really appreciate you joining the stream. I'll stick around for about 30 more seconds to

413
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:49,520
see if there are any more questions or comments. I'm also checking here on LinkedIn and we'll do

414
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:59,760
the same thing on Twitter. But I don't see anything else coming in. So thank you all so much for being

415
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:20,000
here. I really appreciate it. And until next time, I'll see you out there.
