S1 08. A quick guide to micro podcast episodes
Are you struggling to produce podcast content for your small business? Because Micro-episodes can be the perfect solution for time-strapped entrepreneurs who want to stay consistent without burning out.
Micro-episodes are excellent for small business owners because they allow them to create short, focused, and easy-to-produce content that can be consumed quickly by their audience.
What are micro episodes?
Micro episodes are short episodes that normally run from 3 to 15 minutes. They may have a different structure and sometimes they have no pre-recorded intro, or music at all.
This type of shows are an excellent alternative to long-form content, which can be time-consuming and costly to produce. By creating bite-sized content, small business owners can engage their audience regularly without sacrificing quality, or feeling overwhelmed.
How to plan a micro episode:
Teaser / hook
Short intro (under 15 seconds) / Sound effect
Topic introduction
Further topic context
Call to action (CTA)
Quick outro (under 15 seconds)
