In this episode, we discuss why doing "listen for listen" or "subscribe for subscribe" exchanges is the worst way to grow your podcast audience. I'll explain why this strategy doesn't lead to genuine growth and instead suggest strategic podcasting tips for promoting your podcast through social media and other channels where your target audience resides.

We'll cover the importance of genuine connection and engagement in building a podcast audience and look at promoting on platforms where your podcast audience is. We also talk about the importance of creating original content to foster community growth. I'll explain why I'm so against the transactional model of growth and instead focus on key strategies that will help you attract listeners who genuinely appreciate their content.
