Last year I had to miss the first Portable Media Expo and Podcasting Conference down in Ontario (that’s the city of Ontario, California, not the province of Ontario, Canada). This year I’ll be giving a presentation about “Creating and Keeping Raving Fans” at 2 PM on September 29th. A lot of the other speakers are podcasters I listen to (like Eric Schwartzman, Shel Holtz, and Tee Morris), and I’m very excited about it.

Here’s the blurb about my presentation:

Creating and Keeping Raving Fans

Track 4: Podcasting as a Hobby
Instructor: Sallie Goetsch, Podcast Asylum
Room: 200ABC
Description: What’s the best way to grow an audience that waits eagerly for every new episode of your podcast? Make your listeners a part of the show! Not-for-profit podcasts converted Sallie Goetsch (rhymes with “sketch”) from total ignorance to avid listener and co-founder of the Podcast Asylum. In this session, you’ll learn what makes people want to share your show with others. Sallie shows you how to motivate your listeners to get involved and all the ways they need to be able to get in touch with you. You’ll see how making yours a listener-driven podcast establishes your reputation as an expert more firmly while connecting you to a global network of new friends who want to meet you and will think of you right away when they need speakers.

Hope to see you there!
