The NQ masterplan

It was always the plan that we would use this quieter period before the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars to ensure the podcast is firing on all cylinders before we hit 1805. With the help of many listeners supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly with either their money all the time, that is exactly what we are now getting ready to do. So this week Alex and Clemens are revealing what those plans look like, sharing some inside info along the way, in the hope that some more of you might just come forward to offer assistance. Here are the main ways you can help: -Sign-up on Patreon or, if you already have, consider diverting an even greater proportion of your income to the general betterment of the Napoleonic Quarterly! -Leave us a five-star review wherever you get your podcasts. Especially if they happen to be Apple Podcasts or Spotify. -If you would be able to spare some time to help the podcast, there are a myriad of little jobs which could make a big difference. I mention quite a few of these in the episode, but here is a fuller list. You could… Help us create more social media content… Run a new You-tube channel for the podcast, potentially chopping episodes up into lots of different segments… Look after our existing content with some proper admin work - adding chapters to Spotify, improving the SEO of the show notes, that sort of thing… Give us some advice on how best to use Facebook ads... Contribute to the fledgling podcast website… Lend us your video skills by working on a trailer which would be the central intro to the project for new listeners… Come up with your own ideas for how to help push the podcast along… -Anybody contributing either financially or with their time is very welcome to get involved on the editorial side too. Would you like to have a go at doing one of our interviews? Is there a particular topic you would like to explore doing something on? Get in touch and we can work something out. -Failing all the above, it's great to have you listening and engaging with the podcast. Do send any questions or comments through, either via social media or napoleonicquarterly (all one word) at gmail dot com. Thanks for your support, and here's to the road to Waterloo! Vive le podcast!
