In today's episode, you'll learn the number one thing that you can do to make 2020 the best year ever for your podcast. Welcome to Podcasting Q&A, where you learn the best tips and strategies to launch grow and monetize your show. Normally, we have a listener question that we answer on the show, but we wanted to do a special episode with a special bonus at the end. So make sure you stick around and listen to the entire thing. Now, one of the coolest things about the podcasting space is the conferences. I don't know if you've ever been to a podcasting conference, we go to a lot of them as Buzzsprout. For instance, there's pod Fest, there's podcast movement, there's Spark, there's she podcasts, they're all over the world. And they really are incredible. Number one, you get to hear from experts, professional podcasters, and companies that are in the podcasting space, to learn what's working, what's not working, and to glean insights that you can implement for your own podcast. And then there's the networking element to things where you get to meet people you've never met before. Connect with other podcasts. Go on each other's shows promote each other. And it's a really cool place to develop connections and build your network as a podcaster. Well, 2020 has been an interesting year for podcasting conferences, and that like most in person conferences, they've been canceled or shifted to a virtual conference. And so, thinking through the rest of 2020, the number one thing that you can do is figure out where your show is right now, and where you want it to be. And if you need some help thinking through what that is, then what you need to do is sign up for the podcast movement virtual conference, which is happening at the end of October podcast movement is the top podcasting conference in the world. And it has been for the last six years that it's been around and every single year Buzzsprout goes to podcast movement. We love the guys over there and they do a phenomenal job of putting on a great conference for podcasters. This year. They're shifting it from the two day in person conference to a 10 day virtual conference, which is Incredible that tickets are lower than they've ever been. And you're going to be able to have access to so many speakers and tracks is going to be phenomenal. And so if you really want to take advantage of the fact that you don't have to fly into Dallas, Texas to go to this conference, you can watch it from the comfort of your own home wearing your pajamas, then this is the one that I recommend you sign up for. There's nine tracks there's the creation, track, technical track, industry, track marketing, monetization, society, culture and advocacy, audio drama, slash fiction, branding, content, marketing, and then internal podcasting for companies that have podcasts for their employees. So all those tracks will take you on a progression of keynotes breakout sessions to really help you make progress and whatever the area is that you feel will most benefit you. So if you want to learn how to really grow your audience through 2020 and into 2021, sign up for the marketing track if you want to start making money from your podcast, sign up for the monetization track. It really is everything that you need to make 2020 the best year ever for your podcast.
