No matter where you are in your podcasting journey, from time to time. You’re going to experience an lull. Most of the time it’s due to the operations of your show, finding a guest, coming up with a topic, creating social media content to promote your show, and if you guys do Facebook Ads – then it’s creating the right wording for it, setting a budget, etc

I just wanted to make a quick 3 list on how you can stay motivated in those creative blockage moments.

1 – Pre Record your Episodes

Since I’m a weekly show – I like to pre-record shows and release my batch every Monday at 6am. I’ll record 4 episodes on the first week of the month. Then release them. It makes the month easier and I can coordinate appropriately for each episode. It also frees up time to do other things, like this blog and social media promotion

2 – Create The Social Media Content in Advance

This part is easy for me. I have templates set up for each main social media channel (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) I play around with Twitter. But, not a lot.

Doing this – again – makes life so much easier. The first week on the month is always the busiest for me. As I’m creating everything for the month.

3 – Plan Well in Advance

So, even though I have my 4 podcasts ready to be released. I’ll start planning for the month after. If a possible podcast guest opportunity comes up on week 2. I’ll do it. But, keep in mind that that will be the first episode of next month (to avoid timeline confusion)

These are just 3 quick things that helps me maintain a balance with my show. It eases stress on the everyday stuff and keeps the podcast flowing much easier as well.
