Introduction:<\/h2>\n

Ari Meisel<\/a>, the career, business, and productivity coach, is also the host of a podcast with over 300 episodes. The Less Doing Podcast<\/a> is a much listened to show all about life hacks, automation<\/a>, and productivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although Meisel created the podcast from the ground up, he doesn't exactly run <\/em>it - the automations he's set up takes care of most of the work for him.<\/p>\n

With this checklist, which is Meisel's own production process<\/a>, you too can automate your podcast production<\/strong> and increase your audio content output exponentially<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Meisel's checklist will guide you through the pre-interview stage where you'll set up<\/strong> your initial Zaps<\/strong> (via Zapier) and interview scheduling. <\/p>\n

You'll then move to the interview stage, where the podcast episode<\/strong> will be recorded<\/strong>, saved, and edited<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After that, you'll complete post-interview tasks, where the episode will be transcribed<\/strong> and promoted<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The first time you undergo this checklist you'll set up all the required Zaps. Then, run this checklist for each episode you create, as there are a handful of manual steps.<\/p>\n

Pre-interview:<\/h2>\n

To begin automating the podcast production process, you'll need to create a Zapier<\/a> account (if you don't already have one). <\/p>\n

Zapier<\/a> is a tool which connects thousands of apps together and thereby automates certain processes. This lifts the burden of having to repeat certain tasks yourself. It's also the main tool for connecting many of the apps featured in this checklist.<\/p>\n

Once you've made a Zapier account, you're ready to start process automation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Consider if you've previously set up the required Zaps<\/h2>\n
\n

Consider if you've previously set up the Zaps featured in this podcast automation process before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By answering 'yes<\/strong>' or 'no<\/strong>' in the dropdown below, the following tasks will change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is done via conditional logic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you haven't<\/strong> built the Zaps and automations before, you will complete all the tasks<\/strong> in this checklist.<\/p>\n

However, if you have<\/strong> set up the Zaps and automations before, you will only be shown the parts<\/strong> of the process that require manual input<\/strong>, such as instructing the VA service. (Make sure all automations are working before starting<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
