Journey to Full Podcast Production Services

00:01:00
Speaker
For everyone, first of all, when did you realize you were ready to provide a full podcast production service?
00:01:08
Speaker
Let's start with Mami Eloy.
00:01:12
Speaker
Yung full prod na siya, ma'am, siyong from... Yes.
00:01:16
Speaker
After, I think, mga siguro mga two or three clients.
00:01:21
Speaker
Medyo tumaas na yung confidence level ko ng mga tatlong di pa.
00:01:27
Speaker
Tumaas na siya.
00:01:28
Speaker
So, after two to three clients na...
00:01:30
Speaker
Kasi I focus on editing muna eh.
00:01:33
Speaker
And then shortly after, I also offer yung paunti-unti na show notes and then comfortable na ako and then I also offer yung mga sa promotion and marketing.
00:01:44
Speaker
So after 2 to 3.
00:01:47
Speaker
Kayo ba si?
00:01:48
Speaker
Ala, talagang inano ko na si Si.
00:01:52
Speaker
Bali, siguro ako ay started, ano na, parang nung nakasulat na siguro ako ng mga 15 show notes, tapos naka-freebie na ako ng social media ng, dun sa 50 show notes na nasulat ko, mga kalahati na nabigyan ko na ng marketing assets ng libre for added value.
00:02:09
Speaker
Tapos naisip ko na marunong na rin

Miko's Transition from Client to Producer

00:02:12
Speaker
naman ako mag-edit.
00:02:12
Speaker
Bakit?
00:02:13
Speaker
For everyone it's the experience.
00:02:35
Speaker
Ayan si Kai.
00:02:36
Speaker
Okay.
00:02:37
Speaker
Ayan.
00:02:37
Speaker
Okay.
00:02:38
Speaker
So ako, siguro pareho kami ni Atis eh, na mapipil mo kasi yun kapag kahit papano, parang kering mo nang gawin yung specific service.
00:02:48
Speaker
Ganon.
00:02:48
Speaker
Tapos parang may itch na sa'yo na gusto ko may iba naman.
00:02:53
Speaker
Parang ganon.
00:02:54
Speaker
Siguro mga two years ago, siguro ganon.
00:02:59
Speaker
And of course, we saved the best for last, Miko.
00:03:03
Speaker
So, R.A.
00:03:06
Speaker
Hello.
00:03:07
Speaker
Maybe two years ago.
00:03:09
Speaker
We heard it, Miko.
00:03:11
Speaker
More than a year ago, I was a client.
00:03:13
Speaker
My client was a full-time VA.
00:03:15
Speaker
And the majority of the tasks are about their podcasts.
00:03:20
Speaker
So, editing, show notes, uploading, so website management of their podcast episodes.
00:03:27
Speaker
And then yun, so parang nagkaroon ako ng knowledge dun sa mga step-by-step process of podcast production.
00:03:36
Speaker
And nag-start na ako maghanap ng clients na specifically lang for their podcast, mga 2019.
00:03:42
Speaker
So, Miko, ikaw.
00:03:47
Speaker
Ako naman, kasi nagsimula kasi ako, yung sa pakikining ng podcasting noong 2014 pa, so si Dave Jackson, sila Adam Carey, doon ako nag-start na mag-listen, sa Pinas pa yun, but since I don't have money to do that, so nagsimula yan after nabuo ko yung network, and then kasi sa network ko, there's a lot of parang
00:04:13
Speaker
podcast show originally.
00:04:16
Speaker
Then because of that, yun, nagsimula na yung management ko rin.
00:04:21
Speaker
Kasi sa Australia, may mga ibang gusto mag-podcast din.
00:04:27
Speaker
Sabi ko, gawin ko kayong negosyo to.
00:04:31
Speaker
So that's it, it started there.

Managing Podcast Production Teams

00:04:34
Speaker
That's really nice.
00:04:36
Speaker
And Miko, of course, has experience with media and stuff.
00:04:43
Speaker
So I'm not sure if everyone has a team, but if you have any, how many did you have in your team and how do you assign tasks?
00:04:51
Speaker
Is it your client doing it?
00:04:53
Speaker
Or is it you have a specific person for show notes?
00:04:56
Speaker
How did that work for you?
00:04:59
Speaker
Mommy RA naman.
00:05:01
Speaker
For me, for your podcast matters, I have one editor and one show notes writer.
00:05:08
Speaker
I know part of the group, so shout out to Pawi and to Mommy Che.
00:05:12
Speaker
And for my other clients, I have a business partner.
00:05:16
Speaker
And our team is writer, editor, and for social media, particularly Pinterest.
00:05:24
Speaker
So,
00:05:26
Speaker
For the other part of my business, five kami sa team.
00:05:30
Speaker
For your podcast matters, tatlo.
00:05:33
Speaker
So, ikaw, Kai.
00:05:35
Speaker
So, ayan, ilan ba kami?
00:05:38
Speaker
Parang kailan lang din kami nag-start?
00:05:40
Speaker
Siguro, ano, this year lang talaga.
00:05:43
Speaker
Siguro mga, ano, apat sila.
00:05:45
Speaker
Tapos, paano ako nag-a-assign?
00:05:48
Speaker
Meron talagang mga...
00:05:51
Speaker
providers for editing and sa show notes, pati sa social media para hindi siya nakakatito.
00:05:58
Speaker
And sino pala?
00:05:59
Speaker
Mag-atago, Ate Iloy!
00:06:01
Speaker
Okay, mukhang weird yung setup namin ni Se.
00:06:04
Speaker
Kasi although we are partners in ValuePod, kasi we have different businesses, diba?
00:06:10
Speaker
For Severus Media na lang.
00:06:12
Speaker
Yung sa production na to, meron akong
00:06:15
Speaker
Tatlo.
00:06:16
Speaker
Dalawang part-time.
00:06:18
Speaker
Isang full-time.
00:06:19
Speaker
Tapos yung isa na ano ko siya.
00:06:21
Speaker
Yung on-call.
00:06:23
Speaker
On-call na editing.
00:06:24
Speaker
So parang ganun.
00:06:25
Speaker
So parang all in all four.
00:06:26
Speaker
And then how I assign tasks is meron kaming project management tool.
00:06:31
Speaker
And dun kami nag
00:06:34
Speaker
communication on how to go about it.
00:06:36
Speaker
Yung due dates, saka yung show per show, yung tackle namin.
00:06:41
Speaker
So I assigned, parang meron naman dun na dedicated for this number of shows and then ano na siya, yung a la carte, a la carte.
00:06:51
Speaker
Pero yung, sige siya, ikaw na mag kwento ka naman.
00:06:56
Speaker
You're not going to finish.
00:06:59
Speaker
For me, I'm just curious.
00:07:00
Speaker
For ValuePod, we are also partners with ValuePod.
00:07:04
Speaker
We do have separate clients that we cater.
00:07:09
Speaker
On my side, I have one editor, three show notes writers, and one EA.
00:07:17
Speaker
For me, the EA is now, the tasks under me are still a prod, still a admin.
00:07:23
Speaker
Then my editor is the first operations manager.
00:07:31
Speaker
She's the one-assigned show notes to other contractors.
00:07:36
Speaker
But the editing is the one-assigned.

From Assistant to Business Owner

00:07:40
Speaker
She's the one-assigned editor, one EA, and three show notes writers.
00:08:10
Speaker
I have social media at Podfiesta.
00:08:14
Speaker
But in my company, I have... For a Philippine client, I have...
00:08:22
Speaker
the recommended ati Eloy ati Se, siya yung naga si Jamie, siya yung isa sa podcast manager for sa pag may Philippine clients sa kanya ko binibigay.
00:08:32
Speaker
And then si Tim Tim, kay ati Eloy at ati Se pa rin, yun, inonboard ko as an email marketing, marketer for the company and the rest, yung sa side naman sa Australia, mayroong editor, mayroong dalawan project manager
00:08:51
Speaker
And I have a booking specialist which is on maternity leave now.
00:08:56
Speaker
In show notes, I have a show notes.
00:08:58
Speaker
na estudyante pa pero okay na magsulat.
00:09:02
Speaker
So, yun.
00:09:02
Speaker
As you can see, parang ano siya eh.
00:09:04
Speaker
If you are going to go into a podcast production, you cannot do it alone talaga, no?
00:09:09
Speaker
Parang magta-transition ka into an assistant or a virtual assistant into like a business

Engagement and Connectivity

00:09:15
Speaker
owner.
00:09:15
Speaker
Parang ganun siya na parang ikaw na lang yung magiging overseer ng project and then make sure that the show is, you know, on quality and delivered on time and ganun.

Speaker
I hope that episode helped.
