Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about finding conferences in your niche. No matter what topic you podcast about, there’s probably a decent-sized annual event that takes place around it. This could be anything from a Comicon or board game convention, to a conference of surgeons or physicists. It might seem like a hassle or expense to travel to something like this, but it can be well worth your while. There’s nothing more powerful than real-life in-person interactions. Obviously, you’ll want to behave like a human, rather than a walking billboard for your show. But do take things like business cards or any other appropriate merch to help make your podcast known. This is more about finding long-term friends and relationships rather than a sheer new listeners numbers game. But, you never know what opportunities can arise from these events, and they can lead to massive podcast growth further down the line. Thanks for listening to Pocket-Sized Podcasting.
