Just where does your podcast fit into your marketing strategy? While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to marketing your business, I do have strong opinions on what the best way to go about it is if you, like me, prefer to spend more of your time working on your business instead of marketing it. I know, strong opinions? Me? Shocker right? So in this post I’m going to be sharing my approach to content marketing, where a podcast fits into that, and what the benefits are of following my lead. I’m talking: - What goes into content marketing - The three platform types you need for success - Putting together your content marketing strategy - Strategic content marketing topics Need a better podcast strategy?

The question that’s crossed the mind of every single podcaster out there, whether you’re using your podcast to drive sales in your business or you’re just podcasting for fun: are download numbers really that important? Podcasting takes time and effort, and regardless of the financial reward we may expect or not, we all want to feel validated in our efforts. So I want to chat about this, because if you haven’t already had this come up for you and your podcast, it’s probably only a matter of time. I’m talking: - What a download really is - Why downloads aren’t a great success metric for business podcasts - What metrics to track for your podcast - How to accurately compare your show’s growth Need a better podcast strategy?

Some things in life, like podcasting, should be an easy yes. I don’t know about you, but I’m extremely good at putting problems in my own way so when it came to creating Podette, I worked really hard to make sure it would be easy. The mini format has been the single reason I’m still podcasting and have reached 40+ episodes. Today, I wanted to share all the reasons I chose the bitesize format in the hope of convincing you that it’s a viable option for you too. I’m talking: - Why mini episodes work for my personality - How the bitesize format has changed my approach to podcasting - The surprise benefit of bitesize episodes I didn’t know about Need a better podcast strategy?

Obviously, I’m a bit biased, but I think the solo episode podcast format is the most powerful format a business owner can choose. Ooh, how’s that for throwing down the gauntlet right out of the gate? It seems only fair to cover this format after I stomped all over the interview format in my heaviest shoes the other week and I’ll be sharing what’s not so great about monologuing too, don’t worry. But the solo format? When it comes to building relationships, hands down my fave. I’m talking: - Why solo episodes work so well - How often you should be including solo episodes - Why solo episodes feel so difficult (and how to manage them) - A simple solo episode framework you can use Want to steal our episode templates to help you create epic solo episodes for yourself?

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: one of the biggest myths around podcasting for business is the idea that if you record it, they will come. And as much as I love this idea, it’s not actually true. People won’t follow where you won’t lead, so if you’re not signposting the way to your content then you can’t be shocked when no one listens. Which is why you need to be creating written content via a blog on your website for every single episode you release, even though it may feel like an unnecessary amount of work to do so. I’m talking: - The real reason you need a blog for your podcast - The percentage of traffic my site gets via organic Google searches - How your blog can help more people than you think - How to make it easier to create that written content Need a better podcast strategy?

Controversial opinion alert: your business podcast needs to have a dedicated web page or website and no I don’t mean using one of the third party offerings to build it for you. If the whole point of having your podcast is to grow your business, it needs to be linked to your business and it needs to include all the pieces required to convert someone into a podcast listener. To help you, I’m sharing the 12 sections your podcast landing page must contain to help it do its job: get you more listeners. I’m talking: - Why a podcast website is necessary for a business podcast - The 11 sections your podcast website needs - The optional section you can use to help your business - How messaging and copy drives layout Grab your free podcast landing page template at https://podcastology.co/40 and sign up to get instant access to the 12 sections your page needs.

What has all the jobs to do and only 3 sentences to do it in? Your podcast bio, that’s what! In my line of work as a podcast editor, I’ve heard dozens and dozens of guest bios read out by hosts and 99.9% of the time? It becomes very obvious, very quickly, who’s written their bio with no real understanding of a podcast bio’s job. That’s why I’m giving you the lowdown on what makes a good podcast bio so that you can confidently hand that puppy over to the host of a show you’re being interviewed on and know you’ve done everything you can to secure new listeners and leads for your own podcast. I’m talking: - The difference between a podcast bio and any other kind - Why putting the work into your bio pays off - The one question you need to be asking for a kickass podcast bio - The three sentence framework to use to nail your bio Need a better podcast strategy?

If you’re looking to grow your reach beyond your own sphere of influence, I’m a big fan of the podcast interview as a way to do it. Having someone’s voice in your earbuds can make you feel like you’re really getting to know a person, and if that voice is providing value as well? Well, win win, congrats you’ve just made it into someone’s regular playlist. But if only it was that easy to score yourself an interview on another podcaster’s show. It’s not always straightforward and smooth sailing, especially if you’re cold pitching someone you don’t know. But landing these interviews can be greatly helped by creating a one sheet and by the end of this episode, you’re going to know all the pieces to include in your own. I'm talking: - How a One Sheet can help you land podcast interviews on other shows - The six must-have sections to your One Sheet - How to make it easy for podcast hosts to agree to interview you - Tips for making your One Sheet as pro as possible Need a better podcast strategy?
