✊ I was wrong about video podcasts


Happy Friday, friends,

Just a quick one today.

On Wednesday, the team at Lower Street and I released a new report exploring the differences between audio and video podcasts: The Cost of Attention In Podcasting: Audio vs Video

Specifically, my goal was to answer two questions:

  1. What is the difference in cost to acquire audience attention for each format? (accounting for production costs, etc)
  2. Do video podcasts lead to growth of the creators and brands that embrace them… or is it simply correlated?—ie. Established creators and brands expanding into video as an investment in future growth.

The report breaks down both of these questions.

But I just recorded a video sharing some additional perspective, musings, and hunches after spending many hours parsing this data...

Including several assumptions I had about each format going in that were proven wrong.

Have a watch and let me know what your thoughts are on The Great Audio/Video Podcasting Debate.

Have a great weekend.

Stay Scrappy,

PS. It's currently week one of the Black Friday Blitz, where I'm making a series of special offers on every single product and service I have—from standalone courses, to the PMA Membership, to 1:1 coaching and audits.

Here’s how everything works:

  • From Monday, November 10th, I’m going to roll out three consecutive limited-time offers, the final of which will wrap up Wednesday, November 26th, the day before Thanksgiving.
  • This week, you can grab The Assembly Line, a collection of all my premium trainings for just $250 (89% off).
  • Next week, I'll be making a special offer on the Podcast Marketing Academy Annual Membership.
  • Finally, I'll be making a mystery (for now) offer that will be the most expensive thing I’ve ever offered.

Here’s a nifty little graphic I made to see how it’s all going to play out.

There will be a limited number of each offer available as follows:

  1. Workshop Bundle (100 Available)
  2. PMA Membership Offer (10 Available)
  3. ??? (???)

I have no idea if running these offers is a good idea.

And I have no idea how long these quantities will last.

But given that the deals will be going out to the 10,000 growth-focused podcasters who read this newsletter, my guess is not long.

If you've been thinking about signing up for any of these offers, there's never been a better opportunity.

Thanks for being a PMA Member!
