Started my podcast 3 months back, Omar & thedept has been an absolute treasure

[@BarbellsandBourbonPodcast]

I started my podcast in January of this year, while I'm happy with the growth so far, I'm really trying to find that "secret recipe" to grow even further. I'm hoping some of these tips will help me! Thank you Omar for all of your amazing content!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Let’s go, great timing! ⏱️

🔥🔥🔥I have taken notes and learned something from every single one of your podcasts. You are dropping value bombs in every episode. Value value value!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Appreciate you! Thanks for locking in!!

[@missiontomedicine]

Thank you Omar for not gatekeeping the game! I made sure to write out key points from this vid. I’m hoping to implement some of your tips because my video podcast is currently growing and can’t wait to see where it takes me!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Let's go! Don't stop!

[@ChrisFloyd]

Alright, alright! You've been pounding this podcast drum for the last two years-between here and Think Media-loud and clear! I’ve always been on board and know how to set everything up, no problem there. But here's my one burning question: How do you get people to actually show up and chat with you when you're just starting out? I’m not feeling the virtual route. I also really want to avoid sounding like some cheesy game show host, which happens in my other videos. I’m aiming for casual conversations with purpose-that's where it's at. I love the value you're bringing with all this long-form content, especially how you chop it up to hook people. 🔥 You’re on fire, bro. In Him always, Chris.

[@OmarEltakrori]

You're the man, I would say flip the perspective Instead of "trying" to get people to show up, show up for the people. Create podcast/content around ideas and topics people already care about and eventually if you stick with it, you will get them to care about you!

[@jadeguernsey]

@@OmarEltakroriI think he means how do you get guests to come to you when you’re just starting. I’m interested in any tips you have there as well.

[@new_capsulerxpodcast]

I’ve been podcasting since 2019 and just this year tried to take it more serious and man this thing is not easy. I love the challenge of it and I want it to grow it’s just harder than I thought 😅. Some ppl have a natural gift for this and others don’t. I’m not discouraged I just understand since this is not the main focus of it’ll take more patience and time. But essentially I gotta work on the one thing at a time. Master that and go from there! We got this 💪🏾

[@yourweldingcoach]

I started following your information off of the first clip I seen of you giving knowledge to help others grow there vision! God's teach others what they know to help them improve thier lives! I have been struggling with starting my podcast. I have the money for the equipment but lost in different of how to start... you have influenced me to make my leap of faith‼️👨🏿‍🏭📚⛓️

[@nextgenerationfaith]

Omar, big thank you. I followed you from Think Media and love the nuance in this new stuff you’ve been doing. It’s really opening up a new world for me and helped shift my podcast to another level. While we are still working and experimenting on what works, you’ve helped us develop a framework for success. And given us much to think about how the measure that success. Also you make podcasts look fun. 👌🏻

[@OmarEltakrori]

Love that! Appreciate you!!

Thank you for the wisdom. I’m on episode 24 of my podcast “The Faithustle”

[@OmarEltakrori]

Don’t stop

[@AnneObichere]

Thank you Omar for this episode. How are you able to get interviews, especially starting out as a podcaster? And you do not have a social media presence?

[@OmarEltakrori]

Two things: The more specific your podcast, the higher chance you can get guests - also, most of the guests i bring on people in my world don't know - so whether you have a guest or co-host, make it about the "idea" of the conversation more than the guest - let the guest add to the idea if that makes sense Use your podcast as a value add to a person - do the preparation, be a great interviewer, make it quality and get them the video file or clips they can post

[@AnneObichere]

@@OmarEltakrori Thank you so much for your valued advice. much appreciated

[@GodsWordTodayDP]

[@switzonthegreat]

Hey Omar & team! This was truly a great segment and informative with rich detailed explanations. Everything was broken down nicely and very thorough, so I really thank you for this because I am in the works of starting my own solo podcast now. Quick question: How does one copyright or trademark their own podcast? Should we do this before we even get started so we can protect the name and brand of our podcast? If you have any helpful tips, resources or any info. to help lead us in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much Omar & team: keep crushing it!!!!!

[@OmarEltakrori]

That’s a great question, I believe you should just start regardless and eventually go down the whole business setup and copyright stuff once you are getting real traction and bringing in income

[@mixxedclipz]

Great episode! I'm trying to navigate the podcast/content creation space while dealing with ADHD. It's such a struggle, but I'm not giving up! Some days are just harder than others.

@@OmarEltakroriIncredible. I purchased two fx30 Cameras from your setup list (huge thank you by the way) and have been shooting in SLOG3. If this is straight up, i’m doing some incorrect because my shots aren’t this clean. It could be with a small tweak or two.

[@heybraidenmckee]

Hey Omar and team, quick question! I started with an audio only podcast and started having the podcast feed to KZbin through RSS so there's now video. Now, I'm recording a video podcast. Should I upload to KZbin as the source and then feed the audio only version to my podcast host instead?

[@OmarEltakrori]

Don't do the RSS feed thing with KZbin - it's kind of a gimmicky feature youtube tried to implement - but it won't perform well bc it's just a podcast image as a video Now that you are actually recording - you can just upload your video to youtube and then add it to your podcast playlist

[@heybraidenmckee]

@@OmarEltakrori awesome! Thanks for the response. I appreciate it 😊

[@OrpheusAudioAcademy]

How would one make a podcast in the music production space? The music production niche kinda requires a visual aspect, to show what tools you're using, and how you're using them, to create music.

[@whenbirdiesfly]

Where do you build a podcast community?

[@OmarEltakrori]

I like Skool

[@krisvannest]

Great video and guide/tips, THX! QQ RE: Naming or Brand Strategy - would love to know your personal strategy around creating your THE VIDEO DEPT brand under your own name/handle vs creating a separate YT channel for THE VIDEO DEPT (like Ed does for CreatorBooth/FilmBooth). Any general strategy advice around doing it either way?

[@jacentwamala]

Dang! I’m a top 10 podcaster.”For talking”😂

[@RoyalAdventuresTheRoyalLife]

CONGRATULATIONS🎁🎉

[@justkellee]

I had a podcast a stopped in 2022 after 54 episodes . I do weekly videos on KZbin, maybe I should rethink my strategy. 🤔 But I love what you said about being in it for the long game. Podcasting was fun, I just didn’t have the visual set up. I literally did it in my closet for the sound, lol.

[@OmarEltakrori]

If KZbin is the priority you gotta play the KZbin game

[@kennethlucious1]

Is it best to start KZbin channel first to learn equipment, schedule, processes.. then go to podcast?

[@OmarEltakrori]

Yes, I highly encourage that!

[@frameswithtomasz]

Omar, how about Lewis Howes and Steven Bartlett? I would say they grew their podcasts quite nicely 😂 without focusing on one particular niche. They invite guests from all possible walks of life.

[@OmarEltakrori]

They both fall under personal development. Yes their reach has truly exploded but they never miss an upload / release

How do you charge business for "show sponsorship," per month, per episode? How do you charge them? $50 per month? your thoughts?

I'd think it would be wise to do seasonally or yearly

Unless omar came into this world with a following , the argument is mute , don’t you think?

[@CAMphotography_]

@@Arvind_Raja that doesn’t even make sense. Full disclaimer. I’m not trying to target Omar. But it is an objective fact it is easier to grow a podcast when you already have a platform. Ex. Bill belichick (former patriots coach) started an Instagram and got 13k followers overnight. Was he born with that platform? No but he still had one. Or the hawk tuah girl. Wasn’t born with a platform. Made a stupid IG video now has sponsors and a podcast. Cause she has a platform now. Again. Easy to grow a podcast for her now. See what I’m saying?

@@CAMphotography_ no I agree , all I was saying is we all gotta start somewhere. Good luck with your project 🙏
