How to Automate your Podcast with AI

How to Automate Your Podcast with AI

Today we're talking about automation, AI, and how to implement these powerful tools in your podcast. I'm really happy to be here with the Creators Collective, so let's get into it. I'm passionate about keeping podcasts running because far too many shows go dormant. The challenge is that people often underestimate the amount of work involved in launching and maintaining a podcast. I've been searching for solutions to keep these podcasts ongoing because your voice matters. Let's explore ways to automate and simplify the process.

Why Podcasting?

1. Builds Know, Like, and Trust Factor: You need a place for your long-form content (e.g., your podcast) and your short-form, highly engaging content (e.g., Instagram or TikTok).
2. Networking: Podcasting helps you connect with people you wouldn't normally reach out to, making it an effective lead generation tool.
3. Credibility and Status: Establish yourself as an authority in your field.
4. Income Generation: I generate about $ 1500 a month through sponsorships.
5. SEO Engine: A well-optimized podcast can drive traffic to your website.

Automation Throughout the Podcast Lifecycle

Research and Booking Guests

1. Research with ChatGPT: You can use ChatGPT to compile a list of potential guests by asking it to list experts in your domain. It can even provide website links for these experts.

2. Automating Booking with Zapier: Once someone agrees to be a guest, use Calendly and Zapier to automate your workflow. Zapier can integrate with chat GPT, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Monday.com, and Slack to ensure all team members are notified.

3. Advanced Prompt Engineering: The better your prompts, the better your output will be. Refine your questions to ChatGPT to get customized titles, descriptions, and potential questions for the guest.

Production

1. Audio Editing with Descript: Descript allows you to edit audio by editing text, making it simpler to remove filler words like "um" or "uh." It also allows you to insert text, and it will mimic the voice based on the recording.

2. Video Clip Production with CapCut: A powerful tool for clipping videos and adding engaging subtitles.

3. Graphics with Lensa and Mid-Journey: Create compelling visuals without a design team. These tools allow you to generate high-quality images in minutes.

4. Copywriting with SwellAI: Just by uploading your episode, it can generate transcripts, blog articles, show notes, keywords, summaries, and even suggested titles.

Promotion

1. Social Media Content: Tools like SwellAI help generate content for social media. You can use the generated content on blogs, email lists, and social media posts.

2. Upcoming Integrations: New AI tools are emerging that can automatically select key moments from your video/audio files, create clips, and schedule posts on various social media platforms.

Considerations

1. Copyright Ownership: Who owns the content generated or edited by AI? This is still a grey area.

2. SEO: AI-generated content might affect SEO rankings, though opinions vary. To be safe, consider changing a few words to synonyms to trick AI detectors.

3. Job Market Impact: As AI automation increases, job roles may shift. Adopting AI can provide a competitive edge.

4. Authenticity: AI-generated voices and faces make it hard to discern real from fake. This poses ethical challenges.
