Now that you’re set up, it’s time to create MASSIVE hype around your podcast! 🚀

How to Promote Your Podcast on Launch Day 🎤

📢 1. Announce it LOUD & PROUD on Social Media
 This is NOT a quiet event—we are celebrating BIG! 🎉💃

• Instagram Stories: Share a sequence about why you started this podcast, what’s inside the first episode, and include a link to listen.
• Polls, Countdowns & Link Stickers: Use engagement features to encourage listeners to click, subscribe, and DM you.
• Reels/TikToks: Record a face-to-camera video or behind-the-scenes footage of you creating your podcast. End with a strong CTA to listen & share!

📩 2. Email Your List

• Send out a bold & exciting email to your subscribers with the podcast link.
• Ask them to subscribe, listen, and share their favorite takeaway with you!
• Include a direct link to review on Apple Podcasts (reviews boost your rankings!).

🎁 3. Incentivize Engagement & Reviews

• Offer a giveaway or special bonus for those who listen and leave a review.
• Run a DM Challenge: Ask listeners to DM you their biggest takeaway & share their responses in your stories.
• Create an Instagram highlight showcasing feedback & takeaways.

🔄 4. Keep Promoting ALL WEEK
 This is not a one-time announcement! You should be:

• Posting about it daily in different formats (stories, carousels, reels, etc.).
• Sharing snippets & teasers from your episode.
• Directing new followers & audience members back to the first episode.
