Ep 108: How Can Fearne Cotton Get Away with This?? - Why SEO-Rich Titles Matter More for Indie Podcasters


Listen Later

Fearne Cotton has managed to attract a massive audience for her Happy Place Podcast, even with episode titles that primarily feature just the name of her guests. This raises the intriguing question of how she gets away with this, especially when indie podcasters are often advised to use SEO-rich titles to attract listeners.

In this episode, I delve into the reasons behind Fearne's success, highlighting her established brand and the loyal following she's built over the years. Unlike indie podcasters, who may struggle to gain visibility, Fearne's fame and the broader Happy Place movement provide her listeners with a clear understanding of what to expect.

I also share essential tips for indie podcasters on crafting compelling episode titles that can help them attract their ideal audience and stand out in the crowded podcasting landscape.

Takeaways:

  • Celebrity podcasts can thrive with simple episode titles due to their established brand.
  • Indie podcasters, however, need to utilise SEO-rich titles to attract new listeners effectively.
  • Fearne Cotton's podcast success illustrates the importance of building a loyal audience over time.
  • Episode titles should highlight the benefits of the content to engage potential listeners.
  • Creating specific and descriptive titles helps clarify what listeners can expect from each episode.
  • Trial and error with title formats can improve visibility and listener engagement for indie podcasts.
