Logan Lyles 00:06:24 00:06:37

Leveraging LinkedIn for Visibility: "If you scroll LinkedIn after listening to this episode and it says like, oh, Logan commented on this post, and then it shows the post and then it shows my comment, right? I'm getting visibility and I didn't even create a freaking post, right?"

Logan Lyles 00:08:17 00:08:32

The Power of Short Form Video: "I do think that video, especially short form video, I think anybody listening to this is not surprised by. That's hot right now. YouTube shorts, obviously TikTok, and even on LinkedIn, we're seeing the same sort of trends there."

Logan Lyles 00:09:52 00:10:03

Leveraging Employee Advocacy in Content Distribution: "how does that work into our distribution strategy on LinkedIn of what we call an employee evangelism program, where we're activating individuals within the team to share that content."

Logan Lyles 00:14:28 00:14:43

The Power of AI in Video Editing: "And then leveraging some AI, even within that tool to, say, shorten my word gaps, take out the filler words. And now in just a couple of minutes I can apply a template where it's got my captions with our branded font on there, the progress bar with our brand logo."

Logan Lyles 00:21:16 00:21:49

Social Media Strategy: "where is my audience, right? If they're all on X and you do some of that research, maybe you look at Sparktoro and you look at what are some of the accounts people are following? What podcasts are they listening to, what YouTube channels are they following? Where are those folks repurposing their content? Are they more active on LinkedIn and getting engagement? Are they more active on X and getting engagement? And you might want to follow the crowd that you're trying to gather and see where they're at. So I would say it comes down to kind of that fundamental marketing question of where is your audience at? And go there."

Logan Lyles 00:22:44 00:22:57

Advantages of Small Businesses in Advocacy Programs: "You don't have the bureaucracy of, if we launch an employee advocacy program, how do we let people in and tell some people no and all the different things and HR and legal and all that stuff, like you got five people, you can work it all out, right?"

Logan Lyles 00:24:44 00:24:51

Content Strategy in Digital Marketing: "Sharing that in a LinkedIn post is basically like product marketing on a small scale, right? Because the people are the ones delivering the service."

Logan Lyles 00:26:11 00:26:34

Content Creation Innovation: "Before castmagic was around, when I was at sweetfish, we were using gong or chorus AI, one of those call recording tools, and we were using it exactly for that. And obviously that didn't have any AI built into it, didn't have the quality of recording the audio or the video. But that's why we were doing is we're having these conversations, let's turn that into content."

Logan Lyles 00:30:08 00:30:49

Effective Social Media Strategy: "Two, they might not know what to say or how to share it or what's involved. And so I think that taking a step back, instead of just saying, hey, will everybody post this? And just begging them take a step and make it an invitation only thing and then sequentially expand that out from there. So kind of think about it in three groups. So just put an invite out there of like, hey, we're trying to distribute content specifically on LinkedIn because it's a big channel for us as a brand who would be interested in sharing or creating content and give them both options, right? You don't have to become a content creator. Maybe you're just willing to be a sharer."

Logan Lyles 00:36:14 00:36:28

Building a Presence on LinkedIn: "I have a friend who literally had her first three posts on LinkedIn, got like 12,000 views, like 500 connections or something like that. Like when she posted her first post, it said like congratulations for your first post after being a member of LinkedIn for ten years or something like that."

Idea #2: Leveraging Everyday Interactions for Content Creation Transform day-to-day interactions into compelling content for your podcast by adopting these strategies: 1. Record Client Conversations: When appropriate, capture your client meetings and discussions. Logan describes this as akin to "product marketing on a small scale," providing authentic insight into the value and process your business offers. 2. Utilize Internal Team Dialogues: Regular team meetings are gold mines for content. As Logan Lyles suggests, these internal dialogues can be recorded (with participants' consent) and repurposed into educational or thought leadership content that resonates with listeners on LinkedIn and beyond. 3. Develop Conversation-based Content: Position your content strategy around conversations and storytelling. Whether it's an interview with an industry expert or a casual team chat, Logan emphasizes that these narrative-driven pieces can easily be broken down into a variety of formats, enriching your content pipeline.

If you’re set on amplifying your mark in the world of content creation, consider these pivotal mindset shifts to evolve your approach: 💭 Shift from content perfection to authentic connection. Rather than waiting for that flawless piece, embrace the genuine and spontaneous insights that come from real conversations. These unpolished gems resonate more deeply with audiences, fostering a strong community that thrives on truth and relatability. 💭 Prioritize responsiveness over broadcast. Transform your social media approach from a one-way street to a dynamic dialogue. Engage actively with your audience by commenting, answering questions, and participating in niche groups. This two-way interaction not only bolsters your visibility but also enriches your understanding of your followers' interests, driving your content to be even more impactful. 💭 Embrace the power of incremental influence. You don't need a massive following to create waves. Value the one-to-one connections you make and the small ripples they create. Over time, these accumulate into a current of influence that rivals any vast but shallow engagement. Authenticity and personal touch are your strongest allies in the digital space. (Hat tip to our guest Logan Lyles for this valuable perspective.) For further insights and actionable strategies on how to employ these mindset shifts to elevate your content strategy, tune in to "Uploading..." and join us on our latest episode with Logan Lyles from "Agency Life."

Future State, 6 reasons post

In just one quarter, I’ve seen a 300% increase in podcast engagement, doubled our subscriber count, and cultivated a thriving community that actively anticipates new episodes. Before host Ramon Berrios and I dove into the world of intentional and conversational content creation with Logan Lyles, our process was less structured, and our reach, more limited. Now, we envision an even better future state. BACKGROUND: Podcast content creation is no longer an afterthought but a key driver of our brand's growth and audience loyalty. Instead of following conventional marketing strategies, we have embraced a creator-centric method that revolves around engaging discussions, agile content production, and genuine interactions. Old Content Model: - Isolated content creation - Outsourced podcast production - Inconsistent episode themes - Limited listener engagement New Content Model: - Integrated and strategic team collaboration - In-house production emphasizing genuine conversations - Cohesive and intentional episodic planning - Direct listener interaction and community building On the "Uploading..." podcast, we're leveraging every conversation, transforming them into a diverse array of content, from video snippets to insightful articles, without the need for expensive tools or vast teams. Yet, we know there's room for even more optimization. HOWEVER… There's a vast potential that remains untapped, especially in streamlining our workflows. If we can evolve our processes, based on the principles shared by Logan, we can unlock unprecedented levels of listener engagement and brand growth. Here are my 6 recommendations: 1. Utilize conversational content creation tools, like VideoAsk and Descript, to record and repurpose internal discussions into various content formats. 2. Encourage team members to engage on LinkedIn, using algorithm-friendly tactics such as networking, commenting, and sharing to amplify our content reach. 3. Implement a regular routine for all team members to create and share content sequentially, building up a rhythm of consistent brand messaging and community engagement. 4. Focus on short-form video content, leveraging cost-effective tools to produce high-quality clips that resonate on platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok. 5. Foster a culture of employee evangelism, where every team member is not only a content creator but also an advocate for the podcast and the larger brand. 6. Instill a practice of extracting key moments from each episode, and crafting promotional teasers to ensure our audience is hooked from the first listen and eager for more. We're excited about the next chapter for "Uploading..." as we make our mark not only as content creators but as trendsetters in the podcasting universe. Now, a question for you, dear listeners: What strategies have you seen work best for amplifying podcast content on social platforms? Do you agree that the future of podcast growth is tied to strategic content repurposing and employee advocacy on networks like LinkedIn? Share your thoughts and let’s keep this conversation going! #Podcasting #ContentCreation #LinkedInGrowth #UploadingPodcast
