22.01.2022 Important to be aware of for your digital content. It’s extra work, yes, but there are more and more tools available these days to be able to do this.

20.01.2022 I was going to write something about this myself -- I DO think there are some very good reasons that you should consider whether or not starting a podcast is right for you now* but actually those always apply, so it's not really whether or not to start a podcast during a pandemic, it's just whether or not to start a podcast -- but my friend and mentor Karly Nimmo put it perfectly so I'll just share with you what she wrote instead: "This has been done before. It’s a bit unor...iginal and meh to me. But every time I get tagged in one of these ‘please, for the love of god, don’t start a podcast’ type posts, I’m half ‘yawn’ and half concerned. I’m not personally triggered by it. It’s a bunch of traditional media peeps, with more privilege than most, telling the regular Australian to shut the fuck up. And yeah, it’s meant to be a joke. It’s not very funny. Its bland and unoriginal. But it’s also potentially damaging. Everyone is entitled to the same amount of space. Everyone is entitled to speak. Everyone is entitled to share their story. And everyone’s voice and story is valid. That’s what makes podcasting so magical! It’s diverse and everyone can be represented. There’s a low barrier to entry. It’s now accessible to everyone. To say that no one wants to hear you is bullshit. There’s always someone who needs to hear what you’ve got to say. But this story about ‘who am I to start a podcast’ is the biggest thing getting in the way of most of the people I work with. This video is just reinforcing that. And that is the one little thing that does bother me about this. You don’t need to be a celebrity to be a podcaster. So what if everyone has a podcast? If you wanna start a podcast, start a fucking podcast. But before you do... please get intentional about it. Know why you’re doing it. And make it enjoyable to listen to. Don’t just throw podcasting on your ‘to do’ list because it’s another thing you think you ‘should’ do. If you’re just doing it because you think you should, then I agree with these people... shut the fuck up. And if you want help sticking it to these fuckers by starting your own show, say the word. I got you." Amen. *(i.e. if you're struggling just to get through the day, if you're already feeling mighty overwhelmed and if you think you need a podcast to be avoid FOMO - then a podcast won't solve those problems so don't do it for those reasons, and maybe reach out to get help with those things first -- podcasting will be here when you're better/less overwhelmed)

18.01.2022 This time tomorrow night, you could be learning all about podcasts from me and the Eat Digital.com.au crew! https://eatdigital.com.au/product/podcast-workshop/

18.01.2022 Perk Digital is proud to be a part of this series put together by My Smart Community and Outbackhubs to support regional Queenslanders learn new digital skills in this time where suddenly we all need to think about building online footprints. Our founder Ellen Ronalds Keene is presenting on Tuesday 14th and Thursday 23rd April a session called "What's the Deal with Podcasting?" (Brilliant title, thanks Zoe!) If you're looking to build your digital footprint during these covid-19 times, join us for this excellent workshop series!

14.01.2022 Ellen was thrilled to be featured on the Ideas Into Reality #podcast this week, brought to you by the team behind Canvas Coworking Inc and Startup Toowoomba, and hosted by Joy Taylor. They talked about her journey turning Self-Care For Teachers from a hobby into a #business, and all she's learned along the way (hint: validate, validate, validate!) Ellen is doubly thrilled about this episode going live because Joy is also a graduate of the recent round of the Start Your Own P...odcast course that Perk Digital facilitated at #canvascoworking Toowoomba. Starting a podcast is no mean feat--it takes time and energy and commitment. Joy has done the work and we're so excited to see where this podcasting journey takes her! If starting a podcast is on your list of things to do this year and you want to learn how, the next round starts in a few weeks, and it will be virtual so you don't actually have to be in #toowoomba to participate. Get in touch if you're interested and we can have a chat about whether it's a good fit for you. And in the meantime, enjoy this episode of Ideas Into Reality!

13.01.2022 Exciting!!! Can't wait for this :)

09.01.2022 It's 'podcast guesting week' here at Perk Digital! Did you know you don't have to start your own podcast to benefit? Being a guest on other people's podcasts is a win-win-win: ... 1. You get to speak to a new audience who might become a follower of your work or even a customer 2. The host of the podcast gets a great guest for their show (which is sometimes tricky to organise and arrange) 3. The audience gets to learn from your expertise and experiences Our founder Ellen Ronalds Keene has been between seasons of the Teacher Wellbeing podcast but that doesn't mean she hasn't been representing Self-Care For Teachers on podcasts! She was recently featured on the Youth Mentor Podcast brought to you by Shine From Within and hosted by the lovely Amanda Rootsey. Check out the episode below and share it with any teachers you know!

08.01.2022 This is my first adventure into the world of podcast sponsorship and I’m so proud to be aligned with Feminist Coach Academy and can’t wait to see how this body of work unfolds in the world!

06.01.2022 My Self-Care For Teachers podcast, Teacher Wellbeing, is 3 years old today! Pretty proud of this milestone. Consistency and persistence are the two key attributes you need to be a podcaster. Everything else you can learn or outsource. I don’t podcast every week, I do seasons, because I know what is sustainable for me to be able to be consistent. ... It’s been a bit of a roller coaster but I haven’t given up, because I’m determined and because I’m persistent. Season 6 crowdfunder is coming soon, to be followed (hopefully!) by Season 6 itself - watch this space

06.01.2022 One more thing to love about podcasting...no need to dress up!

04.01.2022 Yes! Well done to Helen and Wendy from Stored Naturally for this exciting project :D

04.01.2022 My friend and client Zoe Eather over at My Smart Community recently hit a very big and exciting milestone: 100,000 lifetime downloads of the Smart Community Podcast! This is an outstanding achievement and I'm so proud of you, Zoe! It has been a pleasure working with you on this project since the beginning. From me and the whole team at Perk Digital, a huge congratulations and very, very well done! ... #SCP100K #SmartCommPod100K #podcasting #smartcommunity #podcastproducer #podcastmanager

03.01.2022 A a personal story about why I love podcasts so much, and why I know there is great opportunity for you to serve your audience in this coronavirus crisis. I truly believe that creating educational and helpful content for your audience is more important now more than ever. With many people in self-isolation and more still to end up in isolation in coming weeks, they are turning to the internet for entertainment and inspiration, comfort and connection. While blogs and videos ar...e certainly able to fulfil this need, podcasts are powerful and special, especially for those who are unwell. My love affair with podcasts began over a decade ago, when I had a series of health challenges including Glandular Fever, Whooping Cough and Thyroid Cancer that kept me in a state of semi-self-isolation for about 3 years. I also had chronic fatigue syndrome and was sometimes too exhausted and unwell to keep my eyes open to read or watch TV. But my mind was awake and alert and I was desperate for distraction and diversion. I found podcasts and they not only distracted me, but comforted me, entertained me and connected me to the outside world, when in reality I was often confined to my house--> just like people are, or are about to be, because of coronavirus. Know this: your podcast is a community service at this time. Your listeners need your voice in their life. They will be looking for entertainment and information, yes, but also connection, and podcasts are a brilliant way to build deeper connections with your audience. By and large, podcast listeners care a lot about the podcasters they subscribe to, so they would probably love to hear updates from you and how you are applying your expertise in this incredible time in human history. In some cases they will be looking for a break from the constant coronavirus news and a sense of normalcy, and that’s where the evergreen content comes in too. Afterwards, when this is all over, your audience will remember your content. They will remember your voice and the connection it gave them with others in a time when isolation and disconnection was taking over. Maya Angelous said People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. I hope that is something you can remember and apply in all of your communications at this time, in podcasts and in life. It’s going to be a tough time ahead but let’s maintain our kindness and connection to one another even amidst the social distancing. #flattenthecurve #stayhomeandlistentopodcasts

02.01.2022 Are you podcast-curious and in #toowoombaregion or surrounds? It's the golden age of audio, and with good reason: You don’t need to be on camera, you don’t need to think about spelling or punctuation, and your content won’t disappear down the feed after a few days. If you are thinking about starting a podcast, then I have great news for you!... Canvas Coworking Inc and I are running a Start Your Own Podcast course starting 17th August. Over 6 weeks I'll take you from an idea to podcast reality, and I will help you avoid many of the pitfalls newbie podcasters make. Plus, you get unlimited access to the awesome space and equipment in The Pod at #canvascoworking during the course. Get in touch if you're interested or if you are wondering if #podcasting could benefit your #toowoombabusiness. Tell all your pod-curious #toowoomba friends :) https://canvascoworking.com.au/podcast-course/
