Is it worth doing a podcast if nobody listens? You started your podcast because you want to: - Spread an important message - Share your passion - Make money But your podcast hasn’t quite taken off like you thought it would. What happened? This book is for podcasters who can’t quite figure out what they’re doing wrong (and are ready to do things right). You’ll learn: - Why your “natural personality” may be repelling to people and how to make it attract listeners to your podcast like a magnet (See p198) - What to do when a company tries to “lowball” you on advertising fees (do nothing, except send them the email on p424) - It’s easy to screw up an interview. To be sure you don’t run into any problems, use my “guest contract” on p311. - A six-word “trick” (learned from a 20-year radio veteran) that will instantly make you a better host (it’s on p210) - 9 reasons to kill an interview before it happens – ignore these “red flags” and you’ll be sorry (p299) - What Victoria’s Secret models know about podcasting (even though you never hear them talk) – this lesson starts on p208! - Nervous on the mic? You have lots of company – 75% of podcasters to be exact. I give you a 5-step way to cure your “stage fright” on p229. - If you’re scared of getting bad reviews, don’t worry – I have three simple ways to handle critics on p236 (two of which can turn critics into fans) - Why copying top podcasters may be killing your podcast (I share the story on p116) and how to develop a podcasting style that works for you (and will attract more listeners) - My 3-step “episode teaser” formula – it’s boring, but it works (get it on p110) - Thinking of doing a “daily” podcast? You must read p103 before you start. - Want to impress a guest? See the chapter starting on p321 for my 3-step followup “ritual” that will make being on your podcast unforgettable (and encourage guests to promote your episodes) And that’s just the start … This book contains my complete system on how to attract listeners, deliver your message effectively, and build a big podcast. You can't build a big podcast on "hope." But you can build a big podcast. And if you’re ready to do just that, read this book.

This essay sheds light on how to become a DJ, explicates how to be highly successful as a DJ, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a DJ. While becoming a DJ may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a DJ. Much to the relief of prospective DJs, it is possible to become a DJ in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a DJ is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective DJ can follow to become a DJ is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a DJ. Disc jockey skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of March of 2022, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population work as DJs in the U.S. For instance, it is estimated that less than 14,800 work as DJs even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 332,000,000 people as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, less than .00445% of people in the U.S. are employed as DJs. This means that out of 22,433 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most would work as a DJ as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than DJs in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more DJs, especially since they are able to render social events all the more exhilarating to attend for people who are eminently fond of music. People rely on DJs to educe a thrilling atmosphere at the venues of social events. DJs cherry-pick stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events in order to render the social events all the more exciting for people to attend who revel in listening to music. DJs are not only capable of cherry-picking stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events, but are also capable of producing their own music. When song selections are egregiously abysmal at social events, then this can render them unexciting for people to attend and can detract from their fun factor if people do not feel compelled to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is not banal, unstimulating, and insipid, but is rather exhilarating, thrilling, and stimulating. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is compelling enough so that attendees of social events feel innately inclined to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should be receptive of the ambiance of the social events that they are playing recorded music at. A DJ should expeditiously revamp his playlist selection in the event that his current playlist selection receives unfavorable reception at a social event where he is playing recorded music at. People prefer for social events to serve as a metaphorical catalyst for allowing them to bask in having fun. Freelance DJs are not limited to furnishing their service offerings to an infinitesimal clientele. DJs can be “self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. Freelance DJs are able to customize their own schedule and furnish their service offerings to clients from around the world. There are a myriad of disparate types of DJs. Some of the ample disparate types of DJs encompass “radio DJs, mobile DJs, wedding DJs, and turntablists”. The competencies can vary from DJ to DJ. It would ultimately behoove a prospective DJ to explore the various DJ career paths so that he can ascertain what specific type of DJ career is the utmost befitting DJ career for him to be pursuant of for years on end. A wedding DJ’s role at wedding events can extend far beyond the ambit of him simply playing recorded music at wedding events. The tasks of wedding DJs can, for instance, involve playing recorded music at wedding events, providing sound equipment at wedding events, providing lighting equipment at wedding events, and accommodating the music preferences of the newly married couple of a wedding event.
