My 3 Most Downloaded Episodes in 2024 (and Why They Worked)18 déc. 202400:24:14

Business owners are always curious to know what other entrepreneurs have the most success with. From niches and marketing methods and platforms to actual products and services offered, they’ve always wanted information that’d help them get a leg up. 

For podcasters, that curiosity includes the kind of episode content that’s most popular with listeners. On this show, I’ve recommended specific episode types I think every podcaster should create. And much to my delight, the three most downloaded episodes of this show in 2024 happen to fall into these categories. So if you’re curious to know what they are and why they worked, let’s dive into it!

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn which three episodes were our most popular this year and why they’re such valuable assets. I’ll also reveal how I know they worked, beyond the fact that they were the most downloaded ones of the year.

1:14 - Why highlight these three episodes? A behind behind-the-scenes reveal

6:16 - Why the most popular episode this year worked on a client education and activation level

11:39 - The audio sales page episode that proves why these kind of episodes are logical, must-have assets for your show

16:15 - The third most popular episode in 2025 and how episodes like it allow listeners the opportunity to see themselves

Why Doubling Your Podcast Downloads Won’t Grow Your Business11 déc. 202400:27:34

Got a sales problem you want to solve in the new year? Warning: doubling your podcast downloads isn’t the solution.

When I sit down with podcasters to discuss their goals, they often cite something around getting more potential consumers to listen to their show. So many think that an increase in listeners equals an increase in sales and can fail to consider other, more important factors. So if getting more listeners and downloads shouldn’t be the goal for the new year, what should be?

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn why focusing on downloads is the wrong move and where to put your focus for a meaningful goal instead. I’ll discuss the questions to ask and the steps you can take so that you stop wasting time and mental capacity in ways that don’t convert your show content into the sales you want.

5:34 - Why download numbers are a vanity metric and not the actual problem with your show

10:00 - What you should be thinking about instead of download numbers

14:36 - Are you actually building a show for the audience you want to attract?

17:46 - The crucial differentiator in how-to content that converts sales from your show

23:18 - What to look at next as you set your goals for the new year

How to Start Your Podcast with Minimal Tools and Maximum Impact04 déc. 202400:33:40

Sometimes we overcomplicate things when it comes to podcasting. If you just want to get in and test it out or start slow, you don’t need fancy gear to get you going.

I don’t often discuss anything related to launching podcasts, but I’m digging into it a bit today because the lack of knowledge or plethora of choices about which equipment to use can cause you to go into freeze mode when you want to podcast. So let’s get you into action and prevent you from over-investing in what you need in the process.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn about the gear and software tools you can use to launch a podcast on two levels. Whether you just want to experiment or go full throttle, I’ll cover the recommended tools you need to get started at a minimum, and then expand into starter tools for a more professional product.

4:36 - The minimum investment I used to launch this podcast for less than $100

9:11 - What we unnecessarily make complicated about creating and running a podcast

13:36 - Tools I recommend you start with to meet the minimum requirements for podcasting

18:01 - What I recommend if you want to start using Zoom to record guest episodes

21:51 - Tools to use if you know you want a more professional podcast from the start

26:56 - Why your problem might be strategy-related, not gear-related

The Beginner’s Guide to Dynamic Ads: Use Your Podcast to Sell Smarter27 nov. 202400:35:06

You’ve been working hard building your podcast audience, and now it’s time to leverage that community—maybe you’ve got a new program, a live event, or even a book release in the works. Whatever exciting thing you’re launching, you want to make sure your listeners know about it. But here’s the thing: You don’t want to be constantly re-editing your episodes or scrambling to insert promos at the last minute. That’s where dynamic ads come in.

Dynamic ads are a game-changing tool that make promoting your offers smoother, faster, and more effective. They allow you to create evergreen promotions that can be plugged into any episode, old or new, without having to go back into the audio files. Whether you’re running a limited-time promotion or simply want to keep your show fresh and aligned with your current offerings, dynamic ads give you the flexibility and control you need.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re diving into the basics of dynamic ads. I’ll walk you through what they are, how they work, and three powerful ways you can use them to promote your business. Plus, I’ll share some best practices for structuring your ads so they don’t disrupt the flow of your podcast but still grab attention and drive results.

4:22 - What dynamic ads are and what they allow you to do

11:11 - How you can use a dynamic ad on your podcast to provide updates

14:16 - How you can use dynamic ads to drive traffic to your opt-ins

17:13 - How you can use dynamic ads to promote and drive sales

19:31 - Best practices for the length, frequency, and variety of dynamic ads on your podcast

26:50 - Addressing the pushback I often hear about dynamic ads (especially at the start of an episode)

5:19 - How not owning your expertise shows up on your podcast

What to Expect from a Podcast Strategy Intensive06 nov. 202400:24:27

When I launched the Podcast Strategy Intensive, I honestly wasn’t sure if anyone would go for strategy without production support. Would it be valuable enough on its own? Turns out, it was a game changer. 

Over the past two years, I’ve seen how these Intensives transform podcasts into true business assets. But there was still something missing—a way to support podcasters at different stages of their journey.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I’m breaking down why I started offering Intensives, why there are now two versions to choose from, and what working with me looks like in each. Plus, I’m sharing some updates that make it easier than ever to book an Intensive and get started.

3:00 - Why Podcast Strategy Intensives exist

10:30 - Why there are now two versions of the Intensive to choose from

12:20 - One change in how I work with you on the new version available

14:45 - What you can expect in the evolved version that’s existed for the past two years

18:34 - Two more beneficial changes to the Intensives that you need to be aware of

The Two Most Effective Ways to Generate Content Ideas30 oct. 202400:20:10

Two years after it first aired, I’m bringing back one of my favorite episodes that shows how to keep content relevant and impactful long-term.

Why? Because this episode has helped countless listeners unlock endless content ideas. It’s also a great example of how a well-built episode can keep working for you—without constantly reinventing the wheel.

In this re-release, I’ve kept the original calls to action so you can see firsthand how much value this episode still holds, even with those dated pieces. The rest? 100% evergreen.


Marketing “gurus” love to give the same type of advice online. On social media sites like TikTok, one of the more prolific pieces of advice is looking up questions asked using a tool like AnswerThePublic. That can be great for brainstorming or refining content ideas or getting clarity on keywords. But there are two places where you can truly find a never-ending stream of quality content ideas.

In this episode, I reveal what my two favorite ways to find content ideas and how I use them to generate content that speaks to my ideal clients.

3:39 – My #1 favorite way to get content ideas

6:31 – Another way this benefits you as a long-time service provider

10:14 – My second favorite way to get content ideas

12:23 – The very specific kind of podcast Uncommonly More produces

14:55 – Examples of how I’ve applied this second technique to this podcast

Do You Really Need Video for Your Podcast to Succeed?23 oct. 202400:21:20

You’re a new podcaster wanting to put yourself in the best position to succeed right away. Or you’re an established host who is looking to stay relevant or gain more success. And you’re seeing this phenomenon that has you asking yourself, “Should I be doing that?”

That phenomenon is video. It feels like everything online these days has video attached to it somehow. Sure, some of the most popular websites and social media platforms are all about video. But you also see video ads pop up all the time now when visiting websites, and more podcasters use video as a (if not the main) way to release their episodes.

So if, in noticing all this, you’ve wondered whether you too should be using video for your audio podcast in some capacity, you’re not alone. In fact, this question has come up for our private podcast, but it’s so prevalent that I’m bringing it here to the main show, too.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn the pros and cons of using video content in your audio podcast and a simple way to start adding it if you'd like. I’ll also cover the flip side and reveal the pros and cons of sticking with audio only.

2:40 - The energy surrounding the question of whether or not to add video to your audio podcast

7:02 - The pros and cons of incorporating video content into your podcast

12:42 - The pros and cons of an audio-only podcast

17:06 - A recommendation if you want to look at adding a video component to your show

3 Ways to Improve Your Podcast’s Calls to Action for More Conversions02 oct. 202400:26:19

You know that old saying, “Make money while you sleep”? With a well-structured podcast, you can start to do exactly that. Your podcast should work as an extension of your sales team, converting listeners into clients even when you’re not actively engaging.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I’ll guide you through how to audit your CTAs effectively to ensure they are working as powerful sales tools. We'll cover three key elements you need to evaluate, and I encourage you to follow along with your best sales-focused episode in mind.

5:40 - Why the placement of your free vs. paid CTAs within episodes needs scrutiny

10:49 - How many calls to action per episode I recommend and the missing contextual piece for many podcasters

3 Things to Consider If You’re Worried About “Giving Away Too Much”11 sept. 202400:28:42

Do you fear that you’ve been giving away too much free content on your podcast, and it’s affecting your sales?

This is one of the most common concerns when it comes to any type of content creation, and I’ve been there myself. So to shift your show into being a sales asset and not just a content machine, how should you approach what you share with potential clients on your podcast?

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn three things that’ll help you overcome this fear of giving away too much and hindering your sales. I’ll cover three strategies to help you feel comfortable sharing content and turn your free content fears into strengths instead.

1:17 - Why this is a common concern and why it’s worth addressing

7:36 - How detailed case studies are trust builders for your potential clients (and save you from educating them on the how-to of doing what you do)

11:47 - The difference between educating to prove your expertise and educating to empower your audience

17:24 - Why transparency about your process doesn’t make your services less valuable and the psychological advantage it gives you

24:04 - What to do next as you go through the upcoming content you have planned

Today we're diving into the art of the comeback. You know, that moment when you're ready to hit 'record' again after a little podcasting hiatus. But hold up – it's not just about pressing record; there's a method to the madness, and I'm here to spill the beans on how to relaunch your podcast with a bang, not a whimper.

We've all been there, right? Life happens, maybe client delivery picks up, and sometimes our podcasts need to hit the pause button. But getting back into the groove isn't just about picking up where you left off. 

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I'm getting real about the nitty-gritty of a relaunch. We're talking deep dives into the why's of your break, the fiery passion that's reigniting your podcasting flame, and – most importantly – crafting a comeback strategy that helps you build sustainability into your process. 

1:15 - Stacey addresses common questions and concerns when relaunching a podcast after a hiatus, emphasizing the need for strategic decision-making.

5:02 - Why understanding the reasons for pausing the podcast helps you prevent another. But it’s CRITICAL to approach this with curiosity, not judgment.

11:49 - Explore the motivation behind restarting the podcast and the purpose the show will serve in your business moving forward.

17:18 - Using data to build an actionable and sustainable plan as you consider your new production process

How Can You Effectively Grow Your Podcast?17 avr. 202400:35:40

Ready to grow? Let’s dive into three essential strategies for taking your podcast to the next level. 

Before we jump right to growing though, let’s discuss the importance of intentional growth, honing in on the idea that it's not just about increasing your audience, but converting those listeners into leads. And we’re doing this with real life examples, as I share why now is the time for growth in my own business.

We’re going to dig into social media, podcast guesting, and the importance of integrating your podcast into every touchpoint of your marketing. All of this becomes possible, only when we’re thinning about our business, our marketing, and our content strategically. 

2:16 - Understanding the 'why' behind your growth can make all the difference

5:41 - Signs it was time for marketing shifts in my own business, and why now is the time for growth

9:15 - How we can intentionally boost our podcast's visibility, especially on social media

13:50 - Making social media easier by using smart content repurposing strategies

20:07 - Leveraging our relationships to start showing up on other people’s podcasts

23:22 - Why it's crucial to focus on quality over quantity, when pitching podcasts (or hiring someone to do it for you)

25:30 - The integration of podcast content into all of my other content, how we use podcast episodes in email sequences, trainings, and everyday conversations

How Podcast Hosts Can Leverage Existing Content to Ease Production Stress03 avr. 202400:36:17

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that's super close to my heart – what to do when life throws a curveball and recording a fresh episode just isn't in the cards. We've all been there, right? Sometimes, despite our best plans, we can't get to the mic. But don't worry, I've got a few strategies to keep your feed flowing and your listeners engaged.

Here's the deal: I'm a huge advocate for making the most of what you've got. That's why I'm all about the power move of re-releasing an existing episode. But it's not just about hitting the replay button; it's about being smart and strategic, and that what we’re breaking down as we kick off this episode. 

I'm a big believer in having systems in place – it's like having a secret weapon. You want to be able to grab those past episodes and marketing assets without having to dig through a digital mountain. And let's not forget about repurposing content from other platforms. There's gold in those hills! It's like having an ace up your sleeve for those just-in-case moments. My goal here is to help you keep that podcast train rolling smoothly, no matter what life throws at you. So as you listen to this episode, start building your own process and document it for your team.

00:02 - The importance of understanding the context and timing of evergreen content before re-releasing it.

00:08 - The process of re-releasing an episode with updated branding and marketing assets to align with the current context.

11:00 - How to ensure relevancy to NOW with a previously released podcast episode

23:00 - When to build your re-release SOP and what to include

24:00 - If you’re not ready to re-release a past episode, what can you do to drive attention to what you’ve already shared

28:00 - Still want something brand new, but don’t have the capacity to create from scratch? Do this instead.

3 Mistakes Business Owners Make When Using Their Podcast to Generate Leads27 mars 202400:27:54

There are three mistakes our team sees over and over again when business owners are looking to generate right-fit clients from their podcast. These come up again and again, and they’re fixable. So let’s fix them! 

In the last few weeks, I’ve been in the car a lot. I live in Orange County, California but often head up to LA for events or to meet up with friends, and for some reason, it’s been happening a lot these last few weeks. That means a lot of time in the car which obviously means a lot of podcast time.

Instead of staying with my comfort shows and my old business favorites, I went to search and just organically started looking for shows that would probably be a fit to work with us. I wanted to see what was happening in the market. What are these hosts doing right now that works, and what are they doing that likely isn’t working? This episode is a look at what I discovered.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’ll talk about the three mistakes we see service-based businesses make time and again that prevent them from using their podcast to generate, educate, and convert right-fit clients

5:00 - The first of two ways podcasters make the mistake of making their show all about themselves.

7:30 - The importance of understanding why you’re sharing what you’re sharing on your podcast

11:50 - You cannot “value” your audience into a sale

13:00 - What value should actually look like in your brand’s podcast

16:15 - Trying to prove how smart you are is now how you generate sales from your podcast and will lead you to make the first mistake

17:40 - Are you distracting your listeners instead of delivering on your show’s purpose

18:50 - Examples of a strategic way to include guests in your podcast

22:00 - The kinds of guests our podcast features (and why)

24:20 - A reminder, we’ve all made these mistakes and will likely make them again

What if Your Podcast Isn't Just Content But Part of Your Sales Team?20 mars 202400:27:02

Quick heads up: I’m planning to challenge you to rethink the role of your podcast in your business. Instead of viewing podcasts merely as content, I want you to treat your show as an active member of your sales team. 

This shift in perspective is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of podcasts in generating and converting leads.

Don’t worry—I’m not just throwing this idea at you and running away. We’re going to talk through it step by step as we discuss the importance of understanding the "who, when, how, and what" of selling through a podcast. This includes knowing your audience, the timing of your messages, the method of selling, and what information listeners need to make a purchase.

You’ll even get examples from inside the show, like when I remind you that the doors to the Profitable Podcaster Mastermind are open now. This program is designed to help podcasters like you audit their shows, develop a 12-week content plan, and establish processes for ongoing strategy implementation.

05:00 - Uncover the fundamental business insights you need to know to stop the strugle and start converting your podcast listeners into clients.

10:00 - How the elements of your podcast are actually just the answers to your sales questions

13:20 - Why educating your podcast audience is crucial for sales conversion and how it differs from simply nurturing your listeners

19:30 - Every podcast episode needs a strong call to action and what that looks like

Generate, Educate, and Convert the Right Clients Inside the Profitable Podcaster Mastermind13 mars 202400:29:12

Do you have enough space to approach your podcast strategically? Or are you just focused on getting content out?

While podcasting isn’t your business model, it is still a part of your business. But you can be more efficient in how you approach it so that it’ll be an asset that better serves your goals and helps make your business a profitable one.

That’s where something like the Profitable Podcaster Mastermind comes in. And even though you’ve heard from a couple of mastermind members on this show about their experience, I’ve never gone in-depth on what the program itself is all about and how it works. So let’s change that!

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn what the mastermind is, how it operates, and who it’s for. I’ll take you through each month of the program so you can see how it helps you use your podcast to generate, educate, and convert right-fit clients.

The Real Reason You Can’t Batch Your Podcast (and why it’s costing you big time)06 mars 202400:29:43

This might ruffle some feathers; okay, someone is going to hate this, but there’s a fairly simple reason why you can’t batch record your podcast. It’s not that it’s just not how your creativity works or an energy issue. It’s a planning problem.

Today’s episode is inspired by a message sent to me by a Podcast Strategy Intensive client after working together. After listening to episode 600 of this show, they sent me the following…

“I've been podcasting for 15 years. I have heard people talk about the benefits of batching and I have never felt like I could do this. And I realized, listening to episode 600, why that is. It's not that I didn't have the time or the energy or the focus to produce more than one episode at a time. It was because I was coming up with my content plan one episode at a time. Now that I have a 90-day plan, suddenly batching--and all the benefits that attach to it--seems not only possible but logical and inevitable.”

The problem is simple: you’re ONLY thinking about batch recording, which means you end up trying to plan and prep multiple episodes AND trying to record them. You’re trying to do too many things at once.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re talking about the step you’re skipping that’s making it hard to get more than one episode of your podcast recorded at a time. More importantly, we discuss the larger impact of skipping this on your show quality and confidence.

2:00 - What made batching “logical and inevitable” for one of our clients

5:30 - We’re talking about batching the wrong way

8:00 - The energetic cost of looking at your podcast one episode at a time

10:00 - How can you make content batching more effective in your business

12:40 - How batching better supports your creativity by adding facts to your feelings

14:30 - What batching looks like for my show

18:00 - The importance of keeping your data in mind when planning your podcast

20:15 - What skipping your planning is costing you (and it’s not about the money)

23:30 - How to get the confidence to say the scary things on your podcast

Build Credibility, Authority, and Connection As a Local Business Owner Through Podcasting28 févr. 202400:25:03

Every business has nuanced needs. And sometimes, the advice you hear comes with caveats or might be the opposite of what’s best for your business.

For instance, I’ve warned against the idea of a podcast guest format as the main structure for your show. Too often, it can distract people from your business (or just fails to bring right-fit clients in).

However, a recent Podcasting for Profitability Roundtable brought something new to light on this topic, specifically for local-based service providers. A participant introduced an idea for their show that highlights something locally-based entrepreneurs need to consider and remote businesses typically don’t.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn why regularly having podcast guests isn’t a distraction for local service business owners. I’ll give examples of how it helps build credibility, authority, and connection and also teach you how to use nuance to better serve your business, even if you work with clients nationally/internationally and aren’t locally based.

3:35 - Why there’s not always one solution for everything

9:41 - The nuance that locally based service providers need to consider

13:48 - Examples of how local business owners can use their show to connect with their community

17:26 - A really powerful way to supercharge your networking as a local service-based entrepreneur

20:35 - Questions to help you bring nuance to tools and tactics for your podcast (even if you’re not a locally-based business)

Defining Audience Education and How to Do It Effectively21 févr. 202400:20:04

See if either of these scenarios seems familiar:

You open your DMs, and someone asks you a question you’ve heard a thousand times. Or you experience sales call after sales call after sales call (after sales call) with yet another poor-fit client.

Why do you constantly find yourself in these kinds of time-wasting situations? You need to not only have the pieces in place to use on the fly and maximize your time, but you also need to know the right pieces.

That’s where too many podcasters go wrong and why they fail to generate the sales they want! So, let’s shift the way you think about how you build your podcast and how you understand the purpose of the episodes you release.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn about client or listener education and why it’s the key to moving them into the action you want them to take. I’ll teach you the difference between educating versus nurturing your audience, give examples of how to educate and reveal the benefits of an education episode library in your podcast repertoire.

1:02 - Why nurturing is a problem when it comes to content creation for sales-generating purposes

3:14 - What most business owners are doing with their podcast and what you should do instead

6:00 - Examples of how I educate listeners and potential clients on their problem or solution

11:32 - How a resource library of education episodes maximizes your time, allows you to delegate, and leads to a purchase decision

14:50 - How easy it can be to feel like you’re addressing an issue when you’re not

Are You Growing Your Listenership Through Facebook Ads With the Right Approach?14 févr. 202400:24:38

Facebook Ads have been the lead-generating go-to for many business owners for a while now. And despite how much things have changed since its inception, too many podcasters still just jump right into the platform expecting a giant result without considering whether their approach is even in congruence with their goals.

See, for many podcasters, the audience is the product, and the customer or client is the sponsor who wants to sell advertising to listenership. But if you’re an entrepreneur using your podcast to sell a service to right-fit clients, how you approach Facebook (or any other platform) has to be different.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn an effective way of growing your audience with Facebook ads and how they affect the impact of your show. I’ll also reveal what you need to consider beforehand and why there’s a discrepancy between your audience and conversion rate.

5:17 - How Facebook advertising is different now and the advice you should be wary of

7:27 - The outdated strategy many podcasters still use with Facebook Ads

9:05 - How to run Facebook Ads to get the podcast (and business) results you want

11:48 - How to retarget someone who has previously engaged with your business

12:54 - What you need to ask yourself and reevaluate before you seek out more listeners

16:47 - How I’m planning to use retargeting to sharpen a tool I already have

18:43 - Two reasons for a disconnect between your listenership and sales and how you can get help

Choosing the Right Podcast Format (and How to Make a Change)07 févr. 202400:27:53

Have you always had the same podcast format and have never thought about changing it? Or has the thought of switching things come up recently, but you’re worried about possible consequences?

If you’re like most podcasters, you’ve probably had the same overall format since day one. But should you make a change? If so, how? And do you need to announce it to your listeners beforehand?

Good news! It isn’t complicated at all! And there are advantages and disadvantages to any structure you use for your show.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn the three most common formats we create for podcasts and the pros and cons of each. I’ll also discuss what to do when changing the format of your show (whether overall or for just occasional episodes), the strategic purpose behind whatever structure you choose, and why it’s not the format that matters in the end.

4:55 - The guest interview format and why I call it the “lazy choice”

8:10 - How we do roundtable discussions to highlight the advantages and mitigate the one disadvantage of this format over traditional guest episodes

13:02 - Why you must have solo episodes (even if just occasional ones) and why this format can feel like a heavy lift

17:46 - Another caveat to solo episodes and an example of the biggest benefit they give you as a podcast host

19:34 - How to approach using different formats on your show for your audience

22:59 - Why your show’s format doesn’t really matter (as long as you do this) and the importance of a strategy-based format decision

Social Media vs. Podcasting: Is One Really Better Than the Other?31 janv. 202400:28:25

Everybody has an opinion about what kind of marketing is the best. And so many think they know the magic button solution for all businesses.

If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve probably heard discussions about the virtues of avenues like blogging over video and vice versa. People even argue over platforms to use (or the types of content within the same platform, like whether Reels, Stories, or Posts are best for attracting attention on Instagram).

However, I see this most frequently come up in regards to short-form versus long-form marketing, such as social media versus podcasting. Do you need to do one or the other, or do you need both? Which one is better?

In order to answer those questions for yourself, you need to understand what button you need to press right now to get the results you want for your business model, needs, and personal capacity. And that’s what I want to dig into while using this podcast as an example to showcase what I’m talking about today.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn why so many entrepreneurs struggle with doing either social media or podcasting, the purpose of each, and how they serve my business to help you decide your approach to using these marketing forms. I’ll also reveal why you don’t want to favor nurture over attraction marketing (or vice versa) too much as a service provider.

5:00 - The missing element that causes most people to struggle with either social media or podcasting

7:12 - The role of social media and podcasting and the type of relationship each is best built for

10:03 - How I made an example out of this episode to showcase the difference

13:00 - How the function of each helps you decide how much of each to use based on the business model you have

21:18 - The importance of having a strategic, balanced content plan when using long and short-form marketing like social media and podcasting

How Molly Watts Improved Her Relationship With Repurposing Podcast Episodes10 janv. 202400:37:52

Re-releasing episodes of your show at strategic times of the year is one of the best, most efficient things you can do for yourself and your listeners. But sometimes podcasters hesitate repurposing their show in this way.

Take my special guest today, Molly Watts, for instance. She joined a round of the Profitable Podcaster Mastermind with a production process that left less space and efficiency for her (and her editor). Today, though, I want you to hear from her how her relationship with repurposing has changed and continues to improve.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll hear about her biggest issue (and a very common one) before joining the mastermind, how she plans to start incorporating repurposing episodes into her plans over the next year, and other big takeaways as she wrapped up the program. You’ll also learn why re-releasing episodes isn’t just a big benefit for you as the host, but also for your audience, and more!

3:42 - Molly talks about why she started Alcohol Minimalist and how what she does is different from a recovery program

8:41 - The biggest problem Molly faced with her show’s production process before the mastermind

12:39 - How content (and the way it’s presented) have evolved in the last 10+ years

15:30 - Molly reveals the unexpected takeaways and wins she got from moving through the program

21:43 - Why re-releasing episodes is the best service to your listeners
