The week ahead...
May 17, 2022 5:01 pm
Who of us hasn't dreamed about publishing our own book? Companies like Amazon have made digital self-publishing technology readily available. We've published three of our own and books for others. Let us help your publishing dream come true.
Hello ,
Wow! What a week! We planned five shows this week, one of which will have already passed as you’re reading this. The U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence held an open C3 Subcommittee Hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), what the U.S. Government used to refer to as UFOs. It was at 7am MDT this morning before we sent out our newsletter, but you can watch the replay at the link we provided below.
Let us know if you have an interest in matters of intelligence - or UAPs - because we may cover them more in the future.
Shelley will return from visiting with her Mom on Wednesday, so she’ll be around for all this week’s programs. Yay!
Here’s our schedule for the week:

Q&A: Why YouTube focuses on the creator economy to drive viewership
Creators have fueled YouTube’s growth in recent years because no one really makes the distinction between “Am I watching broadcast, online video, or streaming video?” Instead, viewers watch what they care about in whatever format, says Brian Albert, Google’s managing director.
"Marketing is not a real thing in podcasting." A mind-bending conversation with Magnificent Noise's Eric Nuzum
"Audience building is a real thing." The Magnificent Noise co-founder tells Lauren Passell that when revenue is the goal, too many creators have it backward. ‘Grow the audience’ > ‘increase revenue’ > ‘invest to improve the show’ simply doesn’t work.
"The wheel works by creating something that's more sticky and attractive to a larger group of people," Nuzum explains. "And then you grow that audience, then you're able to advertise somewhere and then you can reinvest." Publishers can’t market their way to a podcast people want to share.
This interview is in Passell’s excellent newsletter Podcast Marketing Magic. In her work and at her company Tink Media, marketing means the ‘real thing.’ Nuzum gives podcasters golden advice for meaningful engagement on social media and beyond: "You are creating a feedback loop with an audience."
