I spoke with Lisa as well as Leo Laporte, the husband-and-wife team that runs the podcasting business TWiT about how you can build a fans who are actively involved with your company that they're excited to hear the advertisements you make.

"When we first started TWiT's business there was a specific section of tech-savvy people. Now, we're saying, "Where's the technology? !" smiles Lisa Laporte who is CEO of TWiT. "It's completely developed." The element of community in podcasting meant that the industry was seen as the "logical extension" of the TWiT's main goals throughout his entire career. It was among the factors that led to Lisa began to become an avid fan of the new media.

The couple had built their own podcast for more than a decade before it was ravaged by the disease in 2020. "Those two years that we were very lonely," Lisa explains. "We lived in tiny Zoom boxes. There is however an online audience who loves technology and would like to join the community." TWiT needed to find new ways to connect with its users during a period of solitude.

Lisa was talking with one of TWiT's sponsors , the tech-training platform ITPro.TV regarding possibilities of offering something for its fans of TWiT. "Simply enough ITPro.TV permits its users on the premises for about an an hour after dark. There are times when they play games, and sometimes simply chat." Lisa continues. "I always kept thinking"That's my goal that I'd like to attain.' I was hoping to help those who are following us discover a place where they can relax.

Lisa affirms that having the possibility of incorporating a Discord server as part of the membership program was a step towards making the program "a more enjoyable one" as opposed to simply creating the first club online. "It was the time we gave our members more, they'd experienced enough of being locked within their own homes." The Club TWiT project was scheduled to begin its launch.

Lisa says the reasons for this. Lisa clarifies she explains that TWiT community encourages its members to take part in the group successfully. They ask for feedback about their program and also organize regularly scheduled Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions. Additionally, they have a room that their patrons are invited to gather and chat. It was especially important to the internet during the pandemic but it's becoming more pertinent in real-world scenarios.

"We will be exhibiting our work , and it's a good idea to inform people"Hey we're going to be in this exhibition. We invite you to join us for a photographic stroll and photo shoot"" Lisa continues. Lisa. The group is planning to do a variety of additional experiences that are in-person. In fact, TWiT held a recent trip for 100 of its members. Leo and Lisa share the opinion that perhaps contrary to what people believe that it's the experiences held in person that are really the "fundamental basis of what the podcasting industry is all about" and what makes the podcast apart from other types of media.

Lisa and Leo are also using Club TWiT to premiere and try out new shows; once a show starts getting noticed, it may be added to the top Club TWiT offering or become an advertisement-supported series. When this happens, Lisa will approach the host of the show and request them to test ads. They will then incorporate the show into their repertoire so that they can begin to work with advertisers. Each ad must be read by the host to ensure they appear natural and a part of the program.

The business's patrons will help you sell more in comparison to how they sell themselves.

Making sure that the advertising method is advantageous to the sponsors and the people who listen to the show is crucial to its success "Our advertisements are successful due to the fact that our audience trusts our company. You can suggest things and services they might like in addition and they're delighted to join our group, which is why they prefer to pay for the goods and services. We're able to join advertisers when they sign up to evaluate the company they represent and then we look at their scores," says Lisa.

She says: "We do such a excellent job with our ads-supported section that Club members tell us: 'Hey, we must include advertisements.' Actually, we have the official Discord channel that is specifically designed for ads which we show on our shows!" They also say that their fans want them to advertise each month, for every show since viewers are interested in knowing how to buy items advertised in the ads: "They trust us so they ask us to feed us so we are able to watch ads every once in every once in a while.'"

Now, I need confirm the data I'm receiving. Lisa claims that TWiT members can make entries into the shows for the advertising on TWiT's behalf to be integrated. "Isn't it funny? !" She smiles. She continues: "Our Club TWiT members receive the shows at no cost however, they contact us, and inform us that we're not getting the ads, we are keen to hear about advertising! Therefore, we often drop on us courtesy advertisements to sponsors that are currently present as and in the event of a new partnership. They're convincing."

"Our sponsors have asked that they could receive a complimentary commercial in each advertising you've read? Sales students are expected to take a look as the ads you've made are viewable since you've been able to help us sell our brand better than the majority of our staff. I thought it was charming."

It is important to start small

What are you able to accomplish to build an organisation that your members enjoy and trust enough to ask to listen to the advertisements that you run? "Really take a look at the options available, and then take a glance at the initiatives other companies are taking on," Lisa suggests. "Look at those who share similar goals as you do and take a look at what they're doing prior to jumping into the fray. Contact me, or contact any person who's done it before."

She suggests "just slow down" and exploring different methods and patterns. "Don't chew more than you can chew. If you're trying for 50 things, you'll find it difficult to complete those tasks successfully. Start by doing a less amount similar to what we didwhen we first started with AMAs."

Leo and Lisa talk about how they've explained that TWiT team is gradually but consistently finding the issue in the course of the path. Once they're satisfied with the whole process, they're now beginning to increase their offerings with bonuses. "I do not want to make promises too big that they will meet my standards and then fail," Lisa continues.

Lisa suggests podcasters look over every service that is part of their membership package. "See the things that make sense with regard to your goals and search around for the top service. Since we're both audio and video, we have a few oddities, which are uncommon for a podcast network."

Supporting the community

"If you're in search of possibilities in the field of technology, take a the time to visit our channel. We've got a show for everyone!" She smiles. "We show shows that are appropriate for people who are just starting out like Tech Guy; we have iOS Today, which is entertaining if you own the iPad or iPhone and you are interested in knowing more about these applications. We also have 'geek' shows like Security Now if you're into security. If you are a fan of this show, you should join Club TWiT and download the podcast! Remember that we must support fellow members of this community."

The support of the community of podcasters, and the inclusive nature of the industry has been a constant goal for TWiT's team "We are committed to providing gratuitous material. It's an ideal opportunity to give the added benefit of this to those who're hugely avid. I am a huge lover of both since every person with access to the internet has access to our content and doesn't have to shell out for it. This is very democratic." Lisa adds. Lisa.

She concludes: "We have fans in third-world nations who have written to write to say "I've had a blast listening to your podcast. I would often visit the local electronics store as I was listening to your show and learned a few things. After that, I was offered a position in the field of technology""

It's possible that Lisa, Leo, and TWiT's staff TWiT are not the only ones who have witnessed tech's evolution from a subject that was intended for geeks. But it's a common issue nowadays. Maybe they've contributed to this change.
