Your podcasting year
I hate to do a post that starts talking about 2008 in November but I think it is wise to begin thinking about what has gone well, what you need to improve upon now so that you can start the new year with fresh goals and, of course fresh enthusiasm.

So here are some questions to start thinking about ready for a successful 2008.
1) What has gone well and how can you do more of that, next year?
2) What do you need to improve upon and what actions are you going to take?
3) How do you measure your success? If you don’t measure…do you need to and if you do measure what are the results saying to you? Then set new targets for next year.
4) One that I like to think about is “Ask not what podcasting can do for you, but what you can do for podcasting?” We, as podcasters, all have a responsibility to bring more consumers into the space, to generate a conversation about podcasting, to raise awareness of how easy listening and subscribing really is….what have you done for podcasting?
5) How do you plan to keep the show fresh, do you need to review your album art, your blog, your format?
This is not an exhaustive list and you need to think about your specific show - but the important thing is to make some time for creativity, for inspiration. Podcasting is time consuming and time is one thing that we are often short of…so invest a little before the year end to ensure 2008 starts with a bang!
