Someone has reached out to you telling you they want to sponsor your podcast. It feels like you’ve reached your goal and there’s a reason to celebrate, but this is when the real work begins.

Grow The Show has covered topics like how to pitch yourself to sponsors and choosing the right kind of sponsor for your show, but just like in those blockbuster rom-coms, listeners are left wondering “what happens after they get together?”. The happy ending isn’t when two people finally come together, but when they build a long-lasting relationship.

On today’s episode, Kevin outlines 15 steps you should take once you have an interested sponsor. He goes over the process from beginning to end, from that first conversation with the sponsor to creating terms for the deal, to locking them down for a repeat partnership.

Believe it or not, Kevin was able to start monetizing his first podcast by offering a free sponsorship. Sounds counterintuitive, right? Be sure to tune in and find out how it may work for you as well!

Kevin reviews the 15 steps you should take after you have an interested sponsor

Today’s episode is a deep dive in social media where our host Kevin Chemidlin takes you through each intricate step of what works and what doesn’t, as well as insider tips on how to leverage social media in a way that works for you. This is expert advice that you don’t want to miss.

By the end of this episode, you will know which platforms you should be on, what type of content to post on those platforms to get maximum growth, and how to fit that all into your schedule as a podcaster and business owner.

The Targeted Daily Engagement (TDE) framework here at ‘Grow The Show’ is a tried, tested, and true strategy to help you gain listeners and grow your show!

It’s quite simple, be active in online communities where your target audience gets together, in what we call ‘watering holes’. Although it seems simple, a lot of people don’t do TDE correctly and it can become draining and burdensome. Which is the complete opposite of what you should feel.

So, in order to help our listeners understand how to TDE, on today’s episode, host Kevin Chemidlin gives us examples on how NOT to do TDE.

Tune in for a quick episode on how you can create more listeners by understanding your target audience and knowing where to find them!

Would you accept a marriage proposal on your first date? Probably not, right? There is a strategic courting ritual required before you ask anyone to make a big leap.

This same theory can be used to understand why your listeners aren’t actioning your call to action. This is something so many podcasts fall short on.

We here at ‘Grow The Show’ have uncovered 8 reasons why listeners take the call to action on a podcast and we want to share them with you!

The best thing about these 8 reasons is you don’t have to act on all 8, you can implement 2 or 3 and still see results.

Tune in to learn practical tips on how to get your listeners to act on your call to action today!

Topics discussed in this episode:
8 reasons reasons why listeners take the call to action
Questions to ask yourself about your call to action

The moment you have to explain your show’s premise after telling someone the name of your show, that should be your cue to re-evaluate your show’s title.

In today’s podcast, our host Kevin Chemidlin hits us with a quick podcast packed with information that could help you in deciding what to name your show, or have you rethink your current title. This perspective could make all the difference in the growth of your show, so you don't want to miss it!

Do less so you can do more. This sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? It is actually one of the building blocks of creating a successful podcast show, especially if you’ve been feeling uninspired or have felt your show isn’t growing the way you would have hoped. Contrary to popular belief, being consistent isn’t essential for a successful show, it is actually knowing when and how to take a break. Taking a break could be the difference between creating a podcast that is unfulfilling and has you in the negatives or creating an exciting 7 figure podcast business!

On today’s episode, our host Kevin Chemidlin educates us on how to create a strategy around taking a break. Kevin presents 5 criteria that are proven to help in understanding whether or not to take a break and how to measure each criteria. If all data points point to yes, then it’s time to determine what type of break to take. Yes, all breaks aren’t the same. Do you shut everything down and go on vacation to Hawaii, do you use the break to hunker down to create a new game plan for your podcast, or a little bit of both?

Kevin walks us through each criteria and more to help you decide if it is time for a hiatus that can help accelerate your podcast and avoid burnout. You don’t want to miss this one.

Topics discussed in this episode:
How consistency wasn’t the answer for Kevin’s first podcast “Philly Who”
What happened when Kevin decided to take a break
Reimagining the show while taking a break
Creating room for new ideas
The 5 criteria: A,B,C,D,E
How to measure each criteria to make the decision to keep going or to take a break
Combining the criteria to decide on two break scenarios
3 pitfalls of taking a break
How to avoid these pitfalls
Fears around taking a break
The hack that will allow you to make money while taking a break
Why consistency alone will not make your podcast successful

July 14, 2022 69 | Should You Put Your Best Podcast Content Behind a Paywall?
Work with Kevin 1:1 to Install a Revenue-Driving Podcast Into Your Business
--
This is a question podcasters ask me all of the time:

"Should I put my best podcast interviews behind a paywall?"

It makes sense why podcasters might think that would be a great way to get more people to sign up for their Patreon.

HOWEVER, putting your most interesting content behind a paywall could actually hurt your audience growth efforts.

In this episode of Grow The Show, I explain why that is.
