Video podcasting is the hot new bombshell entering the villa, and you need to know if it’s worth your time and money and whether it’s going to be able to catapult you to the next level of podcasting success or if it’s another podcasting fad that’s going to cost you thousands of dollars and leave you feeling even more overwhelmed in the long run.

| #065: Podcast Episodes That Get Shared (Even by Strangers) | 02 juin 2025 | 00:13:33 | |
Who do you think about more? Your current audience, listeners that have already found you and love you and consider themselves part of your community or new listeners, someone that might be searching for a certain topic or just something to listen to and they find you and become a part of your audience. As podcasters it can be really easy to get caught up in making content for one of the two. For most of us, I’d say we focus mostly on the community we already have and there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, as a podcast producer I’d say that focusing on your current audience is one of the best things you can do for the stability and success of your podcast. However, and there’s always a however lurking around, you have to keep in mind your next listeners. You always need to be carving out a part of your podcast and brand and business that’s focused on finding the next audience you’ll have, because if you’re not getting that new listener another podcast is and they’ll be the ones that get the opportunities we’re working towards. So in this episode we’re going to talk about producing podcast episodes that get shared, even by strangers. Why it’s so important that your community and listeners outside of your community are talking about and sharing your podcast, how organic growth will impact your podcast’s bottom line and what kind of episodes get shared. ⭐️ Listen to Episode 52: Your Podcast Has a Brand (Whether Your Realize it or Not!)

| #064: Is Your Podcast Selling or Sabotaging Your Business? | 26 mai 2025 | 00:14:35 | |
There’s a fine line in podcasting. There’s a fine line between being yourself and sharing too much. There’s a fine line between knowing your audience and completely forgetting who this show was created for. There’s a fine line between selling and completely sabotaging your business. In this episode we’re going to talk about the invisible funnel, and how your podcast should be driving sales in your business, red flags you might be doing more harm than good with your content and the easy fixes that will help you transform your audience into your most loyal buyers. 👋🏼 Want to sell a digital product but you don't know what to make? 📌 Book Your 1:1 Podcast Strategy Call: 👩🏻💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store: 📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here: ✨ Let's connect!

| #063: Monetizing Your Podcast Back Catalog | 19 mai 2025 | 00:18:56 | |
As podcasters we kind of have to be obsessed with what’s next. It’s way too easy to get stuck in the churn of what’s happening right now, and we have to focus on the next big guest, your next recording date, that next launch and the product you’ll have next year. That’s part of being a podcaster and business owner and being a high achiever. You always have to be looking around corners and figuring out what’s next before your competition does. It can be really hard to get out of this mindset, because it’s so critical to the success of most parts of our lives, but for most podcasters I know, that’s distracting you from the treasure trove of what you’ve already created. In this episode we’re talking about why your back catalog matters, organizing your archive, repurposing, and how to effectively market your past episodes for the future growth of your podcast. 👋🏼 Want to sell a digital product but you don't know what to make? 📌 Book Your 1:1 Podcast Strategy Call: 👩🏻💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store: 📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here: ✨ Let's connect!

| #061: Podcast Analytics for Dummies | 28 avr. 2025 | 00:18:33 | |
Podcast analytics are like the wild west: there is no standard of law and order. As you know, it doesn’t take long to be completely confused by your podcast host analytics and going on Spotify for Creator and stressing out of Apple Podcasts Connect - I know because I’m right there with you. There’s a bunch of numbers and stats and listeners and downloads and what does it all mean? What does it mean for you? What does it mean for you listener? What does it mean for someone that might want to give you money to advertise on your podcast?

| #060: Should You Quit Your Podcast? | 21 avr. 2025 | 00:14:02 | |
You start a podcast, it’s fun for about 3 weeks and then - life starts happening... recordings are getting more inconvenient, you don't know what to talk about, your guests aren’t responding, everything is expensive and you have ten downloads on your episodes. I know I say this in every episode, but podcasting is hard. It’s time consuming, it’s expensive, it’s frustrating, it’s loney, and sometimes it’s hard to know when it’s time to quit.

| #059: Is ChatGPT Ruining Your Podcast? | 14 avr. 2025 | 00:21:03 | |
✨ChatGPT✨ it’s magical, it’s mystical and it really is amazing, mostly because it does all the stuff we don’t want to do. It might also be ruining your podcast. This episode is so contradictory to most of what I teach you about incorporating AI into your podcast workflow, but I’m seeing way too many podcasters destroying their podcasts with ChatGPT and before it goes on any further let’s have a candid conversation about what you should actually be using automation and large language models to do in you podcast and what’s total garbage slop that’s going to drive away your audience and future listeners. 🗣️ Want to learn how to use ChatGPT in a way that won't end your podcasting career?

Rebranding a podcast is tricky. Branding a podcast is tricky. I’ve had several questions lately from established podcasters asking either what went wrong with their podcast rebrand or what they need to know before rebranding and in this episode we’ll talk about when to know it’s time for a rebrand, what you need to focus on during your rebrand and how to relaunch you podcast in a constructive way to attract new listeners while keeping your existing audience.

Do you want to know the biggest lie in podcasting? I’ve been thinking about this episode for many years, and it’s something I try to share with every podcaster I work with and meet.

| #053: Should Your Podcast Have Video? | 03 mars 2025 | 00:18:03 | |
One of the most asked questions I get as a podcast producer and podcaster is should all podcasts have an audio and video component?

| #052: Your Podcast is a Brand (Whether You Realize It or Not) | 24 févr. 2025 | 00:17:04 | |
Everyday we become more and more aware of the power of the ✨brand✨. But what does that even mean? Why should we care? Most of us probably wouldn’t consider our podcast to be a brand, but in 2025, that’s a huge mistake. In this episode we’ll talk about the importance of recognizing and nurturing the brand of your podcast, why branding matters and how to leverage your podcast branding in a way that grows your audience and helps your podcast make money.

| #051: PodSchool: Pinterest for Podcasters | 17 févr. 2025 | 00:17:16 | |
Last year I had over 500,000 viewers without a dollar in paid promotion from one social media - Pinterest. After Google, Pinterest brings the most traffic to my website and podcast episodes, with the average visitor spending about 23 minutes looking at past episodes. In this episode we’ll talk about why Pinterest is the best place to grow your podcast audience, how to properly market your podcast on Pinterest, and what you can do to incorporate Pinterest into your podcast workflow without feeling overwhelmed. Why does Pinterest work? I think a lot of people think about Pinterest as the place where you plan a wedding, or save ideas for remodeling your kitchen, but the reality is pinterest has 553 million monthly active users and reaches 40% of US households with an annual income over $150K. I don’t know about you, but as a business owner, who uses their podcast to grow their business, those are the kind of stats I want to hear.

Only 35% of podcasts make money. If I'm being honest, I thought it would be less. 😬 Most podcasts will never get out of the red - and it's not their fault!

| #048: Why Your Podcast Marketing Isn't Working | 27 janv. 2025 | 00:15:02 | |
I’m going to say something and you might not agree with me, but in my experience this is the truth: marketing a podcast is harder than having a podcast. Finding the right people that should be listening to your podcast and reminding them every week to listen to your podcast is actually harder than making the podcast itself and that’s not easy. In this episode we’re going to talk about why your podcast marketing isn’t working, what you can do to improve and how we can make small changes to start rebuilding our listener base and engaging with our existing audience.

| #044: Why You Need a Listener Profile | 30 déc. 2024 | 00:17:04 | |
This is why so many podcasters stop podcasting and are never able to monetize their podcast. They started the podcast trying to serve a topic and not a listener, and that never works. We are all selfish consumers, and when we aren’t getting what we’re looking for we’ll move on to find what is giving us what we’re looking for. In this episode I’m going to walk you through not only why you need a solid, written out listener profile, but what it really looks like. What you need to know going into every episode and why it matters. Oh, and I have a treat for you once you get it all sorted out!

| #043: My Most Listened to Podcasts of 2024 | 23 déc. 2024 | 00:17:02 | |
One of my favorite parts of working in podcasting and being a podcaster is hearing people’s podcast suggestions and learning about new podcasts. Is there anything better than finding an amazing podcast with hundreds of episodes to completely obsess over and listen to day and night and ask every person you see if they’ve listened to it? I don’t think so.

| #037: How Podcasts Won the 2024 Presidential Election | 11 nov. 2024 | 00:17:04 | |
This isn't a political episode - it's an episode about politics. In the 2024 United States Presidential Election a powerful campaigning tool was unleashed on voters and pundits alike: podcasts. 🤭 In the age of 15-second videos it might be hard to believe that 3 hour podcasts and other multi-hour media shaped this election, but it did. In this episode we’re going to dissect the use of podcasts by both candidates, talk about what worked, what didn’t, and how we can use the lessons of both campaigns to grow our own podcasts and shape our brands through podcasting. Please Note: I did my best to provide this information in as unbiased and fair a way possible, not only am I a volunteer election worker, but I’m someone that believes in the will of the American people, and the privilege of democracy. This episode was not an attempt to be political or make a political statement, just the observations of a podcaster trying their best to make sense of politics and the business of campaigning. 😀 📌 Work with Me 1:1 for Podcast Coaching and Development: 📌 Shop My Podcast Template Store: 👋🏽 Let's connect!
