Even 1% is pretty good. On my regular podcast I get about one e-mail per 300 downloads.
Make it as easy as possible for people to leave feedback. You need a blog for the book (or at least an author blog) where people can leave comments easily. (If…
Ah, I see what happened. The wordpress page is semi-static; my Initial Draft blog is actually where I post often. There's a link to it on the About Me page, no worries. Sorry for the confusion.
Started at your book's page on Podiobooks.com. Followed "Author's Website" link. Clicked your header to get home. January 28th.
If that's not the site you want linked on your book, we can change it. Fix it on Libsyn Pro, then let me know what you c…

You can ask for a lot inside of your episodes. Will people follow the request? Eh... hard to say. On my commute, I have no option to leave you feedback.
I'd focus more on this: how much promoting of your work ar…
That was definitely my original thought, keeping the intro to < 30 seconds. Pretty much a "what annoys me will annoy someone else" philosophy. I bet I could even shorten it further, now that I'm pretty far along.
Testify, brother. Name of the book, name of the author, epsiode number and then get to telling the story. Shove all the other stuff in the end. Less is more.
Thanks Nathan, I think I will do the same regarding the outro.
I appreciate all the responses.
