My Free, Private Podcast: Joe’s Audio Notes

I’m not sure I’ve written about it explicitly here, but a few months ago I launched a free private podcast called Joe’s Audio Notes.

The episodes are very short (7 minutes or less), where I share my thoughts on being a solopreneur, a podcaster, a parent, and other thoughts related to being a productive member of society.

You can sign up for free here.

In the most recent episode, I share some plans on my content strategy with the impending rebrand. Questions like, “What am I going to do with my various properties?” and “How does my podcast fit into all of this?” have been on my mind.

I’m really enjoying the format, but the growth has been very slow. Though to be fair, I only really post about it when there’s a new episode, and only on social media.

The experiment was to see if I could grow my mailing list using it, and so far it’s not panning out.

But it’s still a great format, and I continuously get compliments from the small but mighty audience it goes out to.

I suspect boosting the signal a bit will yield better results — but if not, I could always release them as bonus episodes on Streamlined Solopreneur.

I think I’m going to give it 6 more weeks — if I don’t see any growth by the new year, I’ll switch things up.
