Navigating the Process of Bringing a Podcast Manager on Board
Whether you’re a seasoned podcaster or just getting started, outsourcing some podcast magic to a Podcast Manager can make your life a whole lot easier.
Why consider a Podcast Manager?
There comes a time when juggling everything on your own gets a bit overwhelming. That’s where a Podcast Manager steps in – to sprinkle some organisational fairy dust and let you focus on what you do best – creating content!
Meeting your potential Podcast Manager
So, you’re thinking of taking the plunge and hiring a podcast manager? Awesome! Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect.
- Discovery call: Once you’ve identified a potential match, book a discovery call. Ask questions, share your dreams, and see if the vibes click.
- Money talk: Don’t be shy about asking for pricing details upfront. You don’t want any surprises!
- The proposal and contract: If the discovery call feels right, your potential Podcast Manager will send over a proposal and a contract. Take your time to digest it all, ask questions, and when you’re ready, seal the deal!
Onboarding: Let the podcasting adventure begin!
So, you’ve signed on the dotted line, and it’s time to get cozy with your new Podcast Manager. Here’s a sneak peek into what to expect during the onboarding process:
- Expectations & boundaries: Like any relationship, communication is key. Understand the timelines, how and when to submit episodes, and what happens if life throws a curveball.
- Credentials & handshakes: Share the necessary info – website access, podcast host logins, the whole shebang. It’s a trust exercise, but we’re in this together!
- Smooth sailing ahead: Once the onboarding dust settles, you’ll find your groove. Episodes will flow seamlessly, and you’ll have more time to bask in the joy of creating.
Remember, a Podcast Manager isn’t a mind reader. If something doesn’t quite jive with your vision, speak up! We’re here to make your podcasting journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
