Even more exciting, over 70% of the US population is familiar with podcasts and 32% are active monthly listeners. Better yet, podcast episodes average between 80-90% listening rates! With podcasts being so easy to listen to while driving in the car, exercising, working or just about anytime and anywhere, you can see why it\u2019s such a powerful platform to build and connect with an audience. During this session, I will break down my experience with starting my podcast and how I\u2019ve integrated it with my WordPress website to attract new visitors and gain business. We\u2019ll cover strategies for marketing your podcast on your WordPress website, plugins to use and the \u201cmust have checklist\u201d to make your website and podcast work seamlessly together to attain your podcasting and growth goals. We\u2019ll also have some time for Q&amp;A where I\u2019ll answer your questions about podcasting in general or any specifics relating to podcasting and WordPress.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1lQ5DIKoRPf-LsvTC4eEhahjR7fS4O0Sk_pN6NSLpQh0\/edit?usp=sharing\">Get Andrew&#8217;s Slides<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hP8zaOrCI-U?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Andrew Heim<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a business advisor for small businesses, solo entrepreneurs and sales professionals, my sole mission is to help make business simpler, easier to mange and more profitable. Prior to business advising, I founded a successful IT consulting firm that was focused on managed IT services as well as WordPress web design. Starting out by knocking on businesses doors to offer help with their IT needs, I quickly grew to hundreds of customers. In early 2018, I launched\u00a0\u201cThe Business Life\u201d podcast\u00a0where I explore the lifestyles, routines and strategies of successful business professionals. Podcasting has not only given me another outlet to share my passion for business, but has also allowed me to gain access into the lives of some of the best professionals across a wide variety of industries. You can find \u201cThe Business Life\u201d podcast on all your devices, including\u00a0Apple Podcasts,\u00a0Google Play,\u00a0Stitcher\u00a0and\u00a0Spotify. Outside of business, I like to be active; in other words, I have a hard time sitting still. I enjoy being outdoors, golfing, tennis, hunting, camping or just enjoying nature. I can easily get lost in yard work or tinkering with projects around the house as well. If I am stuck inside, I love to cook and watch sports, especially my alma mater, Kansas State. I\u2019m also a member of the\u00a0Overland Park South Rotary Club and a Paul Harris fellow award winner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect with Andrew<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewheim.biz\">andrewheim.biz<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/andrewheimbiz\">@andrewheimbiz<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/andrewheimbiz\">@andrewheimbiz<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/andrewheimbiz\">@andrewheimbiz<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, June 29th, 11am &#8211; Hudson Auditorium (NMOCA 217) With only around 700,000 active podcasts compared to over 500 million YouTube channels, podcasting is still in its beginning stages, which makes for great opportunities to utilize it for your business or hobby and share your knowledge and passions with the world.
