Where to Fit Time to Prep Your Podcast Into Your Weekly Schedule
Episode 342 | Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast | Courtney Elmer
It’s the day before your episode goes live. You still have to outline it, record it, edit it, and get it all done before 6:00 am tomorrow morning when your listeners will be looking for it. You tell yourself you work better under pressure, but this pace drains your energy, kills your creativity, and honestly? It makes you hate your podcast.
In this episode, I’m answering a listener’s question about finding time to prep your episodes, and exposing what’s really behind the last-minute race to hit publish. You’ll get the exact system I use to stay a month ahead on content so you can stop duct-taping episodes together at midnight the night before they air.
If you’re over staying up late and showing up tired in the name of staying consistent, hit play and let’s dive in.
