  • Launching Your Podcast In Three Easy Steps

    Launching Your Podcast In Three Easy Steps
    Apr 29 2025
    If you think you can just hit publish on your new show and it will take off, we have some bad news for you. This strategy, or lack thereof, won't work. You have to build buzz around your show weeks leading up to your launch date.
    This means using every available channel for social posts, BTS content, teasers, trailers, the list goes on. Without a real plan put into place before launching your amazing new podcast, it may as well be a whisper on the wind.

    • Don’t Just Drop It and Hope

    A single post or episode won’t cut it. Plan three weeks of content and promotion leading into launch day. This means posting on your channels every day during launch week

    • Use Each Week Intentionally

    Week 1 is for buzz and submissions. Week 2 is for the trailer and audience warm-up. Week 3 is go-time: launch multiple episodes, post daily, and drive subscriptions. Asking for shares and subscriptions it goes a long way, and there's no shame in it!

    • Leverage Your Network Early

    Ask friends, guests, and partners to share your show during launch week. That early boost helps you climb the charts and get picked up by algorithms. Hopefully, your famous friend owes you a favor.
    Bonus Insight: Most guests won’t promote after their episode drops. Get their commitment before launch week while energy is high.

  • Don’t Be Clever With Your Podcast Title

    Don’t Be Clever With Your Podcast Title
    Apr 22 2025
    Most creators want everything about the quality of their podcast to be perfect. The sound, the content, the video design, and everything else except the title.


    You could have the best podcast in the world, but no one will even click on it if your title isn't clear, direct, and intriguing. So don't waste vital screen space on titles like


    EP123: John Talks Growth


    Who's John, and what growth is he talking about? Why should we care? Instead, it needs to be clear, interesting, and specific to the episode's core ideas.
    🔹 Clarity Over Cleverness

    Don’t try to be cryptic. Be specific. Tell people exactly what they’ll get from the episode.
    🔹 Optimize Your Title With Keywords

    Podcast apps are search engines. If your episode is about launching a coaching business, say that—don’t hide it behind a vague title like “Big Changes.”
    🔹 Build The Hook First

    Put the most interesting part first. A big guest name? A powerful takeaway? Lead with it. People skim fast, so grab attention early.


    🎯 Bonus Insight: Episode numbers don’t help with discovery. Leave them out of the title. Instead, think like a headline writer. If your title isn’t clickable, it’s invisible.

  • Podcasts Are Not Top of Funnel

    Podcasts Are Not Top of Funnel
    Apr 15 2025
    Most creators don’t love talking about marketing funnels—but if you want your podcast to grow, you need a plan that works from the top down.

    Start broad: think paid ads, social posts, and discoverability. That’s the top of your funnel, the awareness phase. As listeners move through the funnel, your strategy should get more specific and more targeted. That’s where real growth happens: turning casual clicks into loyal subscribers.

    So don’t shove your podcast where it doesn’t fit, instead:

    Top of Funnel = Awareness

    Use ads, SEO, and social clips to get attention. That’s how new listeners find you.

    Mid Funnel = Consideration

    This is where your podcast starts to shine. When someone hits “follow” or subscribes, they’re curious and want more. Your show keeps them engaged and builds trust.

    Bottom of Funnel = Conversion

    A loyal listener becomes a client, supporter, or fan. Your podcast is a powerful relationship-builder. It's not viral content—it’s long-form, high-trust storytelling that leads to action.
