Into The Wild

We made it to the top 1%! Here's how we did it...

In this episode, we're taking a moment to celebrate a milestone this podcast has reached. After a recent glitch with Spotify, our global rank dropped. This was devastating to see after showing up consistently for every single episode for so long, but we continued to pursue our goals.

The result? Staying focused and consistent worked. Recently, after checking in on our stats, we found out that Into the Wild has become part of the top 1% podcasts in the world. This is proof that being persistent, taking in feedback from the audience, and not letting excuses get in the way really does pay off.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Where my podcast journey started, and the work I put into this show that paid off.
• The weird thing that happened with Spotify and how it affected our ratings.
• What it actually takes to create a successful podcast.
• Ideas for monetization that worked and didn't work.
• The test that stood in my way from moving forward, and why I decided to keep going.
• Why it's important to stick it out even when things aren't going well in your business.
• What the journey to the top 1% is really all about.
• What to think about when opportunities to back out come up.
• Why podcasting is tougher than you think, so it may take longer to reach your goals.
• How tapping into what your audience wants can improve your podcast.
• Why there is no excuse to not create epic episodes—anywhere, anytime.

Hey you wild women!

How can you help yourself be seen as an expert in your space? If you aren't investing in your personal brand, it will be difficult to get featured in the media or to be invited as a guest on podcasts and stages. Having a strong online presence usually means you have the ability to bring more interest and eyeballs to the feature or event.

Sharing content that highlights you as a credible source helps you create an engaged audience, and it will also make pitching yourself that much more effective. It's also important to focus on staying active on the platform (or platforms) that really work for you.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• The journalist and coach we have on retainer and why.
• How to give yourself an edge when it comes to being chosen for a feature.
• Why you shouldn't be afraid of constant exposure and putting yourself out there.
• What you absolutely must do to set your foundation as an expert.
• The kind of messaging your website needs to have and why it's important.
• Why even the greatest people hesitate to stay visible and share content.
• What you should include in your media kit.
• How to know if you're ready for prime time, and what to do if you're not.
• The big mistake you might not know you're making when you're pitching.
• Tips for sharing super valuable content more easily.
• Ways you can meet your 5 points of contact every day while avoiding email burnout.
• When it makes sense to leverage multiple platforms and when it doesn't.
• What staying up to date on the latest trends in your industry says about you.
• Why it's okay to sound like you're selling when creating content.
• The most important thing you can do to be seen as an expert.
