Free How To Start Your Podcast in 45 Days Training

Today, I wanted to talk to you a bit about engagement. It's pretty much the holy grail for all podcasts. 

You can have the best content in the world, but if you don’t get it out into the world, let people know it’s out there or promote it… it's unlikely that you're going to get many listeners or much engagement.

Engagement is one of the key factors in getting your podcast into the charts.

So, join me and discover how you can use listener voices to get even more engagement.

Highlights From This Episode 

(00.40) Engagement is key

(02.01) I recommend listener's questions 

(03.46) Another way is interviews

(04.27) Using testimonials

Are you feeling drained by social media? 

Well, you're not alone. There’s a huge pressure to be present on every online platform and to be constantly releasing content, but less than 1% of your audience actually sees what you post. This has led to people looking outside of social media and looking at different ways they can engage with audiences. 

That is where podcasts come in. 

Highlights From This Episode 

(03:04) Number one, it can help you drive traffic to your website 

(03:42) Number two, a podcast is evergreen. It’s going to be found in years to come 

(04:17) Number three is the repurposing opportunities 

(04:50) Number four leads me really nicely onto its time saving

(05:23) Number five is the sheer fact that you own your podcast

Are you thinking of having a well-deserved break from your podcast this Christmas? 

Well I have a secret to tell you: if you plan ahead, you can take a break and still release new episodes, because the holidays are a great time of year for you to publish your podcast. 

You might think people stop listening to podcasts over the holiday season but this is not the case. So take advantage, seize the opportunity, and publish new content when your competitors are sleeping, failed to plan ahead and too stuffed with turkey to think about podcasting! 

Highlights From This Episode 

(00:51) Those who continue to publish over Christmas get more downloads 

(03:38) The week after Christmas is a time for planning 

(05:06) The 30 days of podcast growth

If you are planning to launch a podcast for your business, you might be thinking an interview format is best – after all, you get to talk less! 

However, a solo podcast format can be so much more effective when done well, because it gives your listener a chance to get to know you. By showing off your expertise and your personality, you are selling your brand, and this makes it far more possible that your listener will become your client. 

If you’re still on the fence, listen to this episode! 

I share seven reasons why solo podcasts are the best way for you to grow your audience, generate more leads and get more clients for your business. 

Highlights From This Episode 

(01:01) Get more strategic about your interviews 

(03:40) Use case studies with former and current clients 

(06:17) Get rid of those diaries! 

(07:53) Your moment to shine

Did you know that most podcasts (and I’m talking of over 80% of all podcasts) never make it to ten episodes?! 

The biggest reason for this? The dreaded Podfade. 

It’s a term coined for when you, as a budding podcaster, will start to feel demotivated, when the wind gets knocked out of your sails and podcasting just feels a bit too much like work without the recognition you expected. 

Well here’s the worst kept secret in podcasting: it happens to everyone! 

The minority who know how to beat podfade are the ones who stick it out for the long haul. Don’t let your podcast fade into the 80% - take the five tips I share in this episode and be part of minority! 

Highlights From This Episode 

(01:12) What the heck is podfade? 

(03:29) Plan, plan, and plan some more 

(07:24) Consider working with a professional 

(09:52) Reducing our reliance on social media

In this special bonus episode, I'm talking all about Threads, the new social media app from Meta. We discuss how Threads, is rapidly gaining popularity among users.

This episode provides an overview of the platform, from its similarities to Twitter to its current limitations such as the search function and the absence of direct messaging.

I highlight its integration with Instagram and the caution needed due to its permanent link to your Instagram account.

I think Threads can be a really fun new tool to promote your episodes, engage with a broader audience, and even source ideas for future episodes. Lastly, I touch on how to personalise your Threads profile to create a more intimate connection with your audience.
