This made me laugh. DeArrow is a browser extension that crowdsources less sensational YouTube title and thumbnails. https://dearrow.ajay.app/ So people replace the existing titles and thumbnails with more useful and honest ones and the people who use the extension get those instead. It's not exactly gonna scale but I think it's fun that this exists. And makes me feel a little less alone in my dislike of playing the YT game.

Hello all of you lovely Top 1% Podcasters, hope you're doing soooo well! Couple of updates for you todayyyy: 1. Our next group coaching session is going down next Thursday at 10 am PT. The lovely @Celine Moore will be hosting it and this woman knows *exactly* what's happening with all things podcasting (from podigy logistics to how to maximize views and everything in between, so BE THERE if you've had any questions at all!) 2. You all have got 6 months of access to this space as part of your Podcast Launch package, so most of you will be coming up for renewal at the end of June/beginning of July. If you want to stay in here, keep learning, and keep being served, we welcome that! But the cost will go from nada to $97/month. So! If you were looking or some impetus to GET 'ER DONE... consider this, that. Also, we will likely only keep this space open if enough of you want it, so let us know what you're thinking and get those episodes submitted! 3. Edit requests! We are soooo happy to take your feedback and integrate it into your art, your music and your podcast editing. BUT! We ask that you get back to us within 10 days of us sending you your assets. On top of that, if you've already been back and forth with us on your edits, we ask that you don't come back to us with an entirely new idea or name or aesthetic ask. We're here to get your pods out into the world, but we are not offering unlimited edits. That's it that's all! We LOVE working with y'all and are so proud of those of you have already launched and also SO excited to support every single one of you to get your podcasts out there into the world!!!

Who's coming? What questions do you have? How can we serve you? Go to 'calendar' to get it on your own calendar and then leave us any questions you have in here, if you can't make it live!

@Dawn Petrin told me I could/should post this here. I feel a little guilty that I've been posting more self-promotional stuff here than actual podcasting stuff. 😅 If you want some guidance on your biz tech things, like website, email list, etc. platforms and services, I made a new thing for you. It's called "Tech Clarity." It's a package of group office hours with me to talk about your business tech questions. Heavily inspired by this Podigy offer! I'm having weekly office hour calls, plus a group space so you can ask tech questions at any time. I'll do some live troubleshooting and demos, and build up a resource library, and cater things to the group's needs. Kinda like some of the videos I've been dropping here, where I've demoed a few things. I'll also talk about concerns around privacy, big tech, and censorship, in the context of running a business that might have "controversial" ideas. I'm literally just starting this so the intro price is very affordable, and you'll get a bonus 1:1 call with me for joining now. Here are the details. https://www.healingoctopus.com/tech-clarity/ Lemme know if you have questions!

On today's call we talked about setting up the YouTube channel and how to organize playlists and guest appearances. This is how I set mine up. Maybe seeing it will help explain things better. I actually set it up this way a few months ago so it was nice to hear that's all recommended 😁
