## Transcript

Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. My name is Brittany Bundles and today's video is going to be all about how to create a podcast for your hair business and how to do so without showing your face. I've gotten some questions about this in the past. It's going over, you know, Brittany,
hey, how did you start your podcast? How are you able to make money from your podcast? How are you able to spread the word and get guests and, you know, questions like that. So I'm here today to give you all the information that you need to know to start your podcast and guess what? You're not
going to need a lot to do so. So we're going to go ahead and get started with the video. Be sure to give this video a big thumbs up. Please make sure that you are subscribed and let's get right into it. All right. So the first thing that I want to talk about is how to make the faceless podcast.
So I've had my podcast for I think like four years at this point. And I initially started off by recording on Anchor. Anchor is no longer an app. They went out. I don't know if they, I think they
I was going to say, I don't know if they rebranded or just went out of business, but a couple years ago, like a year and a half, two years ago, Anchor was no longer an option. And so I had to find a different place to host my podcast.
But when I initially started, I started recording right from my phone. I didn't have any fancy earphones. I didn't have, like, any fancy equipment. Like, I still record from my phone to this day. What I do, though, is I found that it makes your sound a lot crisper if you record in, like, a padded room.
so I would record in my closet because it was just me and my clothes and it just produced a way of like a better clearer sound but there's also different microphones that you can purchase on
Amazon I'm actually thinking of purchasing one for my podcast too but just try to play around with the sound and see what works best some people use their earphones I tried recording with my earpods then and it just created like a spacey sound I tried recording in my car and then you
could pick up on like the outside noise like if a dog walked past and barked you could hear that or kids were outside playing like it just picked up on every small noise um it works okay for some podcasts if you're looking to have like that background noise and kind of um like intertwine
it because some some people have like background noises going on in their podcast and it sounds intentional and it sounds really cool that wasn't my intention at all so um it didn't yeah I didn't like that. So to get it crisp sound, all I did, all I do is go into like a closet and I record.
I record this through my cell phone and then I edit with iMovie. And then I go ahead and I convert it to an MP3 file by using an MP3 app. The app is literally called MP3 Converter. And this is what
it looks like. Is it on this phone? I'll put a picture of it on the screen because I don't want to take too much time trying to find it. So that's what I use. And it works very seamlessly.
So another thing I want to touch on is where you can upload your podcast to. Like I mentioned, I was uploading through Anchor. And Anchor was really cool because it shot your podcast out to like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, just a lot of different platforms without you having
to go there and manually upload to each platform. So I enjoy doing that, but you can also upload on YouTube. Like YouTube has a podcast section, so you can create your channel,
create content on your channel, and then you can have a separate spot for your podcast. I recommend doing that, having your podcast uploaded on as many channels as you can. It's going to help spread the word about what you're doing,
give you more exposure, and also help with monetization or different opportunities to make money. Now, if you're wanting to know where you can record your podcast, like I mentioned, closet spaces are really good, any padded rooms.
If you want to go outside and have like a really good noise-canceling microphone or headset, that would work too. And then for the background, if you don't want your face showing, you can become creative
and you can use different like Canva images that you created, which is what I do. Like I go on Canva, I create the image for my podcast, and then I upload it to iMovie, and I just do, like, a copy of my voice,
the prerecorded recording, like, over the Canva. So when you listening to my podcast you hear everything I saying and then you see the camera image that I created Some people go out and they film like they just film they create a video
and then they put their voice over the video. Some people actually create a digital video and then they put their voice over the video. So these are all ways that you can get your video uploaded without showing your face.
You just have to be creative. You don't necessarily have to sit down in front of a camera and record, your message is strong enough, but you still want some type of image so that it's just not a black screen. Or some people even upload as a black screen and they use that as a selling point to get
more clicks because some people don't want to, some people enjoy just having a black screen. Some people enjoy like listening to podcasts at night, just having a black screen on their phone.
And some people say it's soothing. Some people even just, you know, prefer a black screen when they're listening to rain. There are so many different black screen uploads, too, so that's something that you can consider and just play your voice, you know, over top of the black screen or the black image that you found.
The next thing I want to talk about is guests and content. So a lot of people ask, you know, how did you get guests on your podcast? And really it's not too challenging because people are wanting to talk about their business, their brand.
They're wanting to share the word about what they're offering. And so you just have to be in a position where you are able to connect with people that are interested in sharing their story, which isn't hard to do if you are positioning yourself as a partner in a community, a partner in your niche.
Now, what I mean by that is online, just, you know, making sure that you're including in your post. For me, I would put here business coach. I would put a mentor and I would put different type of words to let people know, hey, this is what I'm doing.
like I want to help other people do what I'm doing. So I started offering like consultations. And then people that would like doing drop shipping or were interested in like purchasing my e-book
or reaching out and asking questions about, I sell hair more efficiently, I asked them to come onto the podcast. Also different people that I knew from like personal interaction. I created a salon here in my hometown about seven, six,
maybe seven years ago at this point. A long time ago. It seems like a long time, but some years ago. And I would have people that would stop in and I would take advantage of those conversations
and let them know, hey, I can promote what you're doing by collaborating with you and, you know, you getting on my podcast and just telling my listeners what you offer, where you're at, how they can take advantage of some of the services that you are offering.
So I did like an interview with people that were licensed stylists. I did an interview going over how to start a mobile beauty business from an expert in the industry.
I did different interviews with entrepreneurs that are selling, like, fragrances, different entrepreneurs that are selling, like, Mary Kay. And I just started opening the floor to people that were interested in telling their story.
So I don't think it's too hard to get people to come onto your podcast if you're interested in connecting with people. and just using your platform to really help others grow as well
because that's really what it's about. There's power in numbers, and you can collaborate and bring your supporters with another person's supporters. That's going to spread the word even faster, in my opinion. So just asking people to become guests.
If you know someone that you want to interview, reach out to them via e-mail, send them a text message, send them a DM. Just reach out to people and ask what they're interested in. you know, talking about their story.
And a lot of people are going to be okay, you know, doing that. And then also you yourself, you go out and you start getting on different podcasts. Share the word about the podcast that you're offering. Promote it. Even if you think no one's watching, still post.
I post all the time. I don't care if I get one like or 100 likes. I'm going to post because I want people to know what I'm doing. And whether people click the like button or not, people are still seeing that I'm active. They're still seeing what I'm doing.
and it just brings more credibility behind your name and so it makes it easier for people to want to be a part of what you doing when you are able to show that credibility and then also one on different podcasts it can give you some ideas and inspiration on how you may want to structure your podcast too I remember going to a podcast show in Detroit and they did it so great
Like I remember just being so in awe about how they set up the podcast and the different questions that they asked and how conversational their podcast felt. And so I wanted to bring that to my podcast too.
I wanted my guests to feel at home. Even though we were virtual, like I didn't have a studio like they had, I still wanted people to feel at home. And so I started thinking of ways that I can make the podcast more homey feeling, like what kind of questions that I want to ask
and do I want to share the questions with my guests ahead of time. And I found that that worked really seamlessly, just kind of connecting with them before the show and going over how it works
and just seeing if there was anything that they were maybe hesitant or nervous about that I can kind of smooth over just to have a more smooth show. And, you know, the first couple times that I recorded, I did do,
I tried a couple different platforms, and I decided to go with Zoom because Zoom was just easier to record. Kind of found out as I was going on that you have to be upgraded to a certain Zoom plan,
or at least you did at that point, in order to record your Zoom sessions. and it wasn't always clear because we're not in the same area. So sometimes the guest sound, their sounds would be a lot clearer than mine. Sometimes mine would be a lot clearer than the guest.
So kind of figuring out how to edit to make the podcast as clear as it can be, figuring out if you want to add music to it if you don't. So pretty much getting guests is pretty fun, but then also you're going to have to consider creating content too
for when guests are not available to come on your show. or when you want to take your show in a different direction and share information that's coming from your experiences where there's no guests that would be needed at that time.
So those are some ways, some things to consider when you are creating a podcast. And again, you don't have to show your face. You don't have to show your face on Zoom. Most times I didn't show my face on Zoom. All right.
So the next thing that I'm going to talk about is monetization. So each platform is going to have a different monetization criteria or requirement that you're going to need to reach in order to get paid through their ads. Now with Anchor, I don't think they had any minimum listener or follower requirement.
Anchor was great. They didn't have that, so you could just get paid per listen. Or I think, no, if you recorded a certain verbiage in the beginning of your Spotify, like your podcast, then you could just get money to be monetized.
And so I got paid off of my Anchor. It was a decent amount of money. And then with Spotify, now that Anchor is no longer there, with Spotify, they have a different monetization requirement.
I'm sure Apple Podcasts or – is it Apple Podcasts? I always do Apple Podcasts and Apple Music mixed up. But they all have different requirements. Even YouTube has, like, a different monetization requirement, you know, to become monetized on YouTube.
but even before you're monetized you can start getting paid with your podcast so like I mentioned inviting guests is this is an advertising opportunity the more followers and the more exposure you get with your um podcast the more you can essentially um charge for like advertising
opportunities so when you get started initially you might want to start getting like um And, you know, people listen. You might want to start getting exposure and people listening by doing a lot of, like, free interviews.
It's a way for you to build up your platform, your listeners, your credibility, and also a way for the other entrepreneurs to shed light on their business. But once you start getting momentum, you can charge for advertising.
People will pay to be featured on your podcast. People will pay to be featured on the radio station. They'll pay to be featured on a billboard. So you can start paying for that, not even just people that you're interviewing,
but also different companies. People also pay to sponsor episodes. So you can say Brett Amari Dollars will be able to sponsor this podcast episode And during the sponsor we shout out your company name the website a product a discount code and things like that for people that don want to necessarily be interviewed on the podcast but they want to like sponsor and have their products or services be shared with your listeners
So that's a way to make money by positioning yourself to charge for advertising and sponsorship opportunities.
Also, you can start sharing information about your business, too. And if you're, like, offering a book club, for example, you know, you talk about that on your podcast. If you're offering an e-book, you talk about that on your podcast.
Whatever you're doing, you share that on your podcast, too. A lot of times with some kind of discount code or some incentive for your listeners to get perks or exclusive inside perks or discounts by joining.
But it's another way to put your products out there. I know some people have asked, like, hey, isn't it the same people that are listening to my YouTube, listening to my podcast? Not necessarily. Sometimes, yes. But sometimes you're going to get more than likely you're going to have people that are subscribed more so to your YouTube and people that subscribe more so to your podcast.
So you're going to have people that support both. But you're going to get some listeners that only listen to you on your podcast and they don't follow you on YouTube. So it's a good way to spread your brand and to get in front of different people and to network and to make money.
And like I said, you can do all of this without showing your face. Not one of these scenarios needed a face. The only thing that I have to think of that may be a little tricky is just like promotion. But not even, I mean, there's ways that you can promote without showing your face.
I'm just so used to getting on camera and showing my face because I've been doing it for years. But there's ways that you can still promote your podcast without showing your face. You can still leave, like, snippets and clips of your podcast on your Instagram.
You can still post different, you know, clips from your Canva that you created and that you uploaded on your video. You can still post, you know, clips of those. You can still post segments of those clips on your, like, TikTok and Instagram and your Facebook.
So there's ways that you can promote. You just have to get really creative. But you can definitely make a successful podcast without showing your face and without really high-tech equipment. Just use what you have. And a lot of times, which is really, you know, interesting, people will cling to podcasts that may not even be high in production a lot of times.
They just want real, raw information. And if you're going to be consistent, if you're going to get some real, raw information, if you're going to have valuable insight, credible guests on your podcast, people are going to listen whether you have a $200 mic or no mic at all.
So, yeah, always strive to do your best. Always strive to continue to upgrade your equipment and provide a better experience for your audience. But in the meantime, like, do use what you can use. Sometimes I just – I've tried to use different editing software, and I'm like, you know what?
it frustrates me so much with some editing software that I'm like, look, if I have to edit like this, I might as well just not record because it takes the fun. It just makes me not want to do it at all. So just use what you feel comfortable using, and people are going to pick up on your comfortability.
They're going to pick up on your insight. Like I said, they're going to get interested in what you have to say. Like I said, you don't have to have, I just want to put that out there, but you don't have to have, like I said, super fancy equipment or anything like that.
You just have to be consistent. You just have to be able to share information that other people want to listen to. That's really what a bullet sounds to, faith or not. Faith or not. So I really hope this video helped.
