#42 - Your Podcast Isn't About You…

Friday, April 14, 2023 • Duration 19:20

Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Growth University—a podcast about podcasts with your host, Kevin Palmieri. He is also the co-host of Next Level University, a global top 100 Self-Improvement podcast with more than 1,200 published podcasts. Their podcast team, Next Level Podcast Solutions, has published over 2,000 podcasts, so best believe that Kevin knows what he is talking about.

There are many reasons why people start a podcast – to grow their business or brand, lead generation, to have a potential income source, or just for fun! These reasons to start may all be about you, but if you want to grow your podcast, focus on your audience. Today Kevin talks about the reason why your podcast is not and should not be about you. Remember: your listeners are giving you a significant amount of their attention for a significant period of time; if your show is not tailored for them or adds value to their lives, there’s no reason for them to keep listening.

#41 - The Importance Of MESSY Action

Friday, April 7, 2023 • Duration 14:43

Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Growth University—a podcast about podcasts with your host, Kevin Palmieri. He is also the co-host of Next Level University, a global top 100 Self-Improvement podcast with more than 1,200 published podcasts. Their podcast team, Next Level Podcast Solutions, has published over 2,000 podcasts, so best believe that Kevin knows what he is talking about.

In today’s episode, Kevin talks about the importance of taking action, no matter how messy, in podcasting or in any area of our lives. Most of the time, we get a lot of disruptive thoughts when we’re about to start something – what if it fails? What if we don’t get it right? That's fear speaking, and it's normal, but that’s also what’s holding you back from doing what you want to do. So, take action. It doesn’t have to be perfect right away; what’s important is that you start.

#40 - Social Media Matters For Different Reasons Than You Think...

Friday, March 31, 2023 • Duration 21:58

Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Growth University—a podcast about podcasts with your host, Kevin Palmieri.

Some people find new podcast shows by exploring top podcasts on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. But you can’t discount the fact that many, if not most, new listeners will come from digitally stumbling upon your content. Today Kevin talks about the power of social media when it comes to using it as a marketing strategy to be discovered by potential listeners. But also keep in mind that social networks are a dialogue, a way to engage your podcast audience beyond the podcast itself and, importantly, for them to engage with you. Social media is a two-way street.
