J Cleveland Payne's Creators Pep Talk

Everything Has A Format - CPT 209

1 NOV 2023 · If you are unsure of just how the flow of your show needs to go, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Review some work you admire in your genre and create an early model for your work of what you like from there. There are reasons why some genres seem to play the same between […]

Focus On Foods That Matter for Your Voice - CPT 208

25 OCT 2023 · Your larynx does much more than help you make a sound out of your mouth. It also directs food into your stomach and air into your lungs to breathe. So, any issue becomes not just a creator issue but also a health issue. You magic elixir? Lots of water and moisture from foods.

Tell Non-Podcast Listeners About Other People's Podcasts - CPT 207

Your Podcast Has Value Beyond Plays And Downloads - CPT 206

11 OCT 2023 · The numbers are significant but not always the primary reason to start or continue a project. Documenting history, connecting with people, and learning from the process may be a stronger motivator to keep pushing on when the numbers lose their luster.

'Make Better Content' Is Not Helpful Advice - CPT 205

4 OCT 2023 · You don't help a surgeon with confidence by saying, 'Do surgery without killing the patient.'

Who Do You Expect To Replace? - CPT 204

27 SEP 2023 · Who are your listeners not going to listen to from now on when they start listening to you? Knowing some answers to this question will help you target and capture more listeners.

Drink More Water - CPT 203

20 SEP 2023 · I am telling you to drink more water as a creator for the same reason I tell people on my health and fitness podcasts: your basic health. Proper hydration is good for your voice (as a podcaster) and your skin (as a video creator).

1m
Yes, That Other Podcast Is Better Than Yours. So What? - CPT 202

13 SEP 2023 · You can not be discouraged by other people's talent. You need to define your goals, polish up your performance, and keep producing content. Because, in reality, you have little to do with the perception of 'good' once the listener presses play.

Batch Work Is Your Friend (Maybe Your Savior) - CPT 201

6 SEP 2023 · Once you settle your content creation process, take advantage of the consistency and create more work in batches to save you creation headaches.

Eventually, You'll Learn Not To Care - CPT 200

30 AUG 2023 · As you see the number of episodes rising, you will gain comfort in your workflow and performance and won't worry as much about the things that seemed like nonstarters when you started.
