In this milestone 50th episode aired Live on December 26th, 2024, Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee delves deep into the evolving podcasting landscape.

The episode focuses on Spotify’s strategic shift toward video content and its implications for podcasters. As the platform prioritizes video over traditional RSS audio feeds, creators face critical decisions regarding distribution, monetization, and audience engagement.

KNOWING YOUR WORTH as Creator Podcaster – Ep 49

PlayPlay

In episode 49 of Podcast Tips with Rob Greenlee from the Live December 13th, 2024, episode, we tackle one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of being a content creator: KNOWING YOUR WORTH.

It’s easy to undervalue yourself in the fast-paced, competitive world of podcasting and video creation. From self-doubt to unclear goals, the struggles are real—but so is the power of understanding your value.

We’ll explore the emotional, financial, and practical steps you can take to build self-confidence, align with your core values, and unlock your potential as a podcast host or video creator.

Here’s What We’ll Cover:

Building Self-Worth as a Creator
-Why self-doubt and imposter syndrome can hold you back—and how to break free.
-Rob’s journey from struggling with self-worth in his early radio and podcasting career to building confidence and clarity.
-Understanding and aligning with your core values can transform content creation, collaborations, and audience engagement.

Anchor Yourself in Core Values
-Could you define the values that guide your podcasting purpose?
-How staying true to your values attracts loyal listeners and the right partnerships.
-Example: Turning down sponsorships that don’t align with your mission.
-Actionable Tip: Write down your top 3 values and incorporate them into your podcasting strategy.

Say “Yes” Strategically and “No” Confidently
-Find the balance between being open to opportunities and protecting your time.
-Say “yes” to collaborations that align with your goals and “no” to content that doesn’t add value.
-The “No Rain, No Rainbow” effect: Growth often comes with temporary discomfort.
-Practical Tip: Use a “value filter” for decision-making (e.g., Does this align with my goals? Does it feel authentic?).

The “Loose Change” Principle
-Understand and track your undervalued resources:
-Time: How many hours do you spend on your podcast each week?
-Energy: Avoid burnout by knowing your limits.
-Money: Budget effectively for tools, ads, and professional support.
-Actionable Tip: Set weekly time, energy, and budget management goals.
