When You Run Out Of Time – PTC 531

There are times when you run out of time. When the time crunch hits, how do you consistently publish your podcast each week?

I RAN OUT OF TIME

My calendar got tight this week. Recording and publishing this episode became a challenge.

I typically record my podcast on Saturdays. On Tuesday we have our Podcast Profits Accelerator calls. Most of my coaching calls are on Thursdays.

This week, we suddenly had visitors coming to town. Then, I had some last minute travel come up.

Next thing I know, I'm running out of time to get everything done.

It takes creativity when you run out of time.

We moved the Podcast Profits Accelerator call to Thursday. My mastermind changed to Saturday. Luckily, one of my clients moved a couple days as well.

Those moves freed up time time to get business done. But what happens with the podcast episode? I still need to publish that.

When you run out of time, there are a few ways to still publish an episode.

WHO CAN HELP

The first thing you can do is find someone who can help you.

I recently read The Road Less Stupid by Keith J. Cunningham. In the book, Cunningham talks about being more productive by doing only the things in your circle of genius. Delegate everything else.

YOUR PRESENTATIONS

To create an episode, what content can you repurpose?

Presentations you've given to other groups can make good content.

Gary Vaynerchuk often uses his keynote speeches for podcast episodes. Alex Hormozi will use recordings of his q&a sessions for episodes.

I've done "ask me anything" sessions on Facebook and used those as podcast episodes.

SUMMIT INTERVIEWS

When you run out of time, summit interviews make great podcast content.

I hold two summits each year. During that summit, I interview 23 different experts. Those interviews become podcast episodes.

People can attend the summit and get all of the content plus ask questions. Or they can wait while the content drips out over time.

With nearly two dozen interviews, I have almost half a year of content to use as necessary.

PLAN AHEAD

Planning ahead helps you avoid running out of time.

Work a week ahead. When you run out of time, you already have the episode recorded for this week. Get ahead of the game.

You can also record an emergency episode. This is an evergreen episode you use in case you have nothing else.

GUEST HOST

One solution few consider when they run out of time is a guest host.

Find another expert in your niche who complements what you do. Ask them to host your episode this week.

You can also share an episode from other podcast to expose their show to your audience. You would simply record an intro and explain.

OTHER INTERVIEWS

Have you been interviewed on other podcasts? You can use those interviews when you run out of time.

You've shared great content with other hosts. Surely your audience would benefit from those conversations.

Use one of those interviews as an episode of your show.

PICK ONE

Those are six solutions you can use when you run out of time and can't find room in the schedule to record a new episode.
