Want to do something special for the fans of your podcast? Get involved with Fan Appreciation Day! The very first Fan Appreciation Day will take place on January 3, 2016. It will begin at 10:30 in the morning.

Fan Appreciation Day is an unofficial day for podcasters to let their fans know they appreciate them in a casual meet-n-greet setting online. It is similar to what would happen at a podcast conference, where fans and podcasters can meet, mingle, and get to know each other a little bit better. But, instead of happening in a physical location, the whole thing will take place via Blab.

It doesn’t cost anything for podcasters to participate in Fan Appreciation Day. Just go to the website and fill in a short form. It requires your name, email address, and a link to your podcast website. Pick a time from a dropdown box that you will be available on Blab for a meet-n-greet.

Make sure to let your fans know about Fan Appreciation Day, and what time you will be on Blab. This could be a really fun opportunity to connect with fans who live far away from you – without requiring anyone to travel or pay to attend a conference or event.
