00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,540
Hello, everyone.

2
00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:02,790
Welcome back to the Oren Cohen podcast.

3
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:07,200
This is day 17 of my 30 day
challenge, where I'll be making

4
00:00:07,230 --> 00:00:09,000
one podcast episode every day.

5
00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:13,080
Today's episode is about maintainance.

6
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:18,900
And I want to talk to you about what
happens when you have a lot of content

7
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:20,790
that you need to distribute around.

8
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:21,900
So let's get right into it.

9
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:26,669
So if you've been listening to the other
episodes in the series, You know that in

10
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:32,989
2020, I started my YouTube channel and
soon after I started my podcast Geek Peek.

11
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:37,480
That podcast currently
has about 48 episodes.

12
00:00:38,170 --> 00:00:42,310
But the funny thing is that all
of the episodes exist on YouTube.

13
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:44,319
But on my.

14
00:00:45,129 --> 00:00:46,390
Podcast host.

15
00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:48,910
I have about 28 episodes.

16
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:55,599
Which means that at some point
along the way, I did not manage to

17
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:58,690
distribute the episodes correctly.

18
00:00:59,230 --> 00:01:02,170
And managed to get to a point.

19
00:01:02,590 --> 00:01:03,160
Where

20
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:05,870
I have now missed publishing
some of the episodes.

21
00:01:06,199 --> 00:01:10,310
To actual podcast hosts, but all
of the episodes are on YouTube.

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,090
Now that's something that you
don't want to happen to you.

23
00:01:14,429 --> 00:01:18,479
So here's what I learned from the
experience and how I'm going forward.

24
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:20,189
And again, this is just what I do.

25
00:01:20,639 --> 00:01:25,919
You can draw inspiration from this and,
it won't necessarily work for you as well.

26
00:01:26,459 --> 00:01:29,939
So, what I started doing is
actually using a Trello board.

27
00:01:30,449 --> 00:01:35,099
Which means that now every time I
want to publish a new episode, It

28
00:01:35,099 --> 00:01:37,049
has to go through these stages.

29
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:41,759
And some of the stages is
publishing to YouTube publishing to.

30
00:01:42,229 --> 00:01:43,159
Podcast host.

31
00:01:43,699 --> 00:01:44,389
Publishing.

32
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:46,069
Transcripts.

33
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:48,019
Publishing subtitles.

34
00:01:48,019 --> 00:01:49,399
Creating a thumbnail.

35
00:01:49,789 --> 00:01:51,949
All of those are steps along the way.

36
00:01:51,999 --> 00:01:54,669
It does mean that I have some
maintenance work to do now.

37
00:01:54,939 --> 00:01:58,749
Where I will have to take
all of the missing episodes.

38
00:01:59,259 --> 00:02:01,569
And publish them on the podcast.

39
00:02:01,569 --> 00:02:02,079
Host.

40
00:02:03,249 --> 00:02:08,079
And make sure that their description
is updated, that they have a link

41
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:13,710
at the bottom to subscribe and
also that their episode number is

42
00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:15,770
also updated across the series.

43
00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:18,080
But that's some backend work that.

44
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:20,150
Work is finite.

45
00:02:20,179 --> 00:02:22,670
It will end after I finish it.

46
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:26,239
And for a long time,
I was procrastinating.

47
00:02:26,810 --> 00:02:33,739
Sitting down and actually checking
what I have on my podcast host list

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,660
and what I have on my YouTube playlist.

49
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:39,990
And yesterday night, I actually did it.

50
00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:41,490
And now I know.

51
00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:44,370
Which ones are missing
on my podcast, host.

52
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:49,800
So that's already an improvement
because now I can actually go and move.

53
00:02:50,250 --> 00:02:51,960
One by one and publish them.

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,130
Over there.

55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,980
And I can always change The
order and the seasoning and like,

56
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:02,800
This is season one, season two.

57
00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:05,380
I can always change that.

58
00:03:05,860 --> 00:03:10,600
But what I wasn't able to
wrap my head around was this.

59
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:12,160
Unknown work.

60
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:16,720
But it's not really unknown because it's
only 47 episodes here and 28 episodes

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,480
here, but still my mind wouldn't let me
dive into it until I did it yesterday.

62
00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:24,430
That's something that you should consider.

63
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:27,560
Avoid doing work that is not
part of a larger process.

64
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:30,800
Once you do work in a larger process.

65
00:03:31,130 --> 00:03:33,500
It's always easier to manage.

66
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:37,040
Because you have the process
and you can trust the process.

67
00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:42,230
And you don't move your Trello
ticket from one stage to the next,

68
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:45,260
unless you did what that says.

69
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:49,050
When you publish a
podcast on a weekly basis.

70
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:55,260
Or even bi-weekly or monthly, it's pretty
easy to go through all of these episodes.

71
00:03:55,500 --> 00:04:01,980
And especially for me now that I'm working
on season three, I'm going to be able to

72
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:06,130
do all of the work before the episode,
even air, because my intention for

73
00:04:06,130 --> 00:04:11,020
season three, Is to make sure that all
of the episodes are already scheduled

74
00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:16,190
to publish on all of the platforms
whenever we want to publish an episode

75
00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:22,740
before I even aired the season, which
means that I'll have all of the episodes

76
00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:27,850
edited and ready to go, but won't
publish them until we aired the season.

77
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:30,940
So I think that's it for me today.

78
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,183
I just wanted to share a little
bit about how maintenance and doing

79
00:04:35,183 --> 00:04:38,903
some backend work is so important
going forward because otherwise you

80
00:04:38,903 --> 00:04:41,453
create that extra work for yourself.

81
00:04:41,873 --> 00:04:45,873
That you could have prevented
if you were just working within

82
00:04:45,873 --> 00:04:47,943
a frame and within a process.

83
00:04:48,423 --> 00:04:50,313
So I hope that's helpful for you.

84
00:04:50,403 --> 00:04:52,503
