Okay, and then the third thing with considering are considerations for not taking a break are your revenue opportunities. If you're a podcaster, who is running ads for other brands on your podcast and you take a break, you're missing out on our revenue opportunities. So make sure that you're considering that when you decide it's time to take a break. Now if you are like I absolutely do not want to take a break, let's talk about three tips for how you can approach it during this holiday season. So that you don't have to take a break and you don't have to scale back. The first tip is obviously work ahead, I Gaffin creative, we ask our clients towards the end of November, to give us their episodes in December. And like the early January episodes, we asked him to get those to us a little earlier. So that we can take off time for the holidays and spend time with our family. And that allows us to be ahead for our clients and not have to work the last like week and a half of of the year. So with that being said, if you're working ahead, consider the other people involved in your workflow because they may have to get you something early or they may have to adjust their schedules as well. The second tip is to be strategic and intentional, if you do have to take a break or scale back or any of those things. So when I say be strategic and intentional, this could mean saying like, Oh, it's the week of Thanksgiving, and I don't want to air an episode, because people may not listen to it like I err on Thursdays, I don't want an errand episode this Thursday. That's one way to be intentional about when you are making decisions on whether or not to break for the holidays and how to manage. The other thing would be being strategic in maybe instead of releasing that Thursday, your episode that week releases on Monday. Or same thing with Christmas. If your podcast airs on Mondays, maybe you want to release it a different day. Now, I will say that you may see a drop in downloads that final week of the year, because this year, Christmas Day falls on Monday. And that means that New Year's Day also falls on Monday. Now, after doing this for so many years and doing and seeing the numbers around New Year's, I can guarantee you that most especially if you are in the entrepreneurship space. And your listeners are entrepreneurs, you will not be getting as many downloads as you would like you may get the automatic downloads. But if people if a lot of your audience are the people that are going in and listening, as you're marketing it to them those weeks, they are busy with their family, they have taken that time off. So this is the one time of year that I do tell clients like you know what, if you don't want to release an episode on that week, that's the week of the year not to do it. So for example, the week of the 25th of December this year, maybe don't release an episode. I personally am. But I'm releasing a bonus episode, not necessarily a regular episode, and I'll get into what that looks like in just a little bit. Now my third tip for approaching your podcast and managing it through the holidays is to approach your content with ease simplicity and strategy. Because you like I just mentioned, you may not get as many downloads as you want. And so if you have like a really big launch coming out, I don't, unless you have a really big launch coming out, I don't really recommend putting your best episode out in December. Like it doesn't mean don't release any content. I'm just saying it's should not be your like, Whoa, this is the biggest thing that I've ever done the best thing I've ever done. I would say that for the new year, I honest I really, really would, because you will get more traction on it at launch. But I will also clarify that with even if you release an episode every week of December, and you don't see the numbers you want, you can push to that content in your January marketing. So push to it on social media, push to it in your newsletters, but also in your episodes in January, you can reference those episodes as well. So at the beginning of this episode, I referenced an episode that came out in November and December of last year. So it's been a very long time since that episode came out. But you may have thought oh, I never heard that episode, I'm gonna go back and listen to it because I am considering taking a break from my podcast. So that's episode 84. Now when it comes to content, this is where strategy comes to play specifically for when you are not necessarily trying to create the best content, but you want to create good content that's still valuable to your audience. So let's talk about a few types of content to consider. So I'm gonna give you three examples. The first one is end of year wrap up themes, or goal setting and planning for the new year that is specific for your audience. Now I have a lot of clients that do these, and they're hardly ever the same. And that's what I love about is they are customizing it to how they approach it. What their clients are doing what they're teaching their audience. So for me podcasters, I'm, I'm similarly doing a end of year themed episode where you are planning for the holidays. So you could do some sort of end of year wrap up or theme. Now the second type of content to consider. And it could also go along with the first piece is case studies or showcasing of your clients with sourced audio. So what that could mean is asking clients of yours, or students of yours, or even just like friends of yours to answer a handful of questions, and you can source that audio together. Now, this takes a little bit of organizing, it takes a bit of work, because you do have to actually ask them follow up with him. So in one of the episodes I mentioned, I recorded my own experience with taking a break from my podcast. Well, then in the second episode that I mentioned, I actually asked three of my podcasts, friends and clients, if they would share their own experience in taking a break from their podcast. So I didn't necessarily have to write out a whole outline and plan out a full episode, it was, hey, last week, I shared my experience. And now I want to give you insight into three other podcasters who have done this and have and what they learned from it. So essentially, I just asked them the questions had them record, they sent me the audio, and I put it together and release the episode. So that's a second type of content that you could consider doing, as you are trying to take a little bit of work off of your own plate in like creating brand new fresh content. Another way you could do that is like asking them to share their experience in your coaching program for the year or share how your services have changed their outlook on life, or Outlook in business, or, you know, whatever it is that people want to hear from your clients to decide whether or not they want to work with you. Or if it's like a piece of education you're trying to offer, or an idea you're trying to get across. If someone else has done it like I did. That episode for me wasn't necessarily driving people to sign up to work with me. That episode was trying to tell podcasters it is okay to take a break. If you need to take a break. Like don't let that don't let the fear of
