  • 5 Strategic Mistakes ALL Wellness Entrepreneurs Make Starting a Podcast

    Hi and welcome to Wealthy Wellness Biz - I’m your podcast host Nicole Harlow – CEO of Brand Better®, brand strategist and podcast producer for wellness businesses.

    This is the place to be if you’re a wellness entrepreneur, health coach, functional medicine practitioner or naturopathic doc looking to turn your wellness biz into a WEALTHY wellness biz.

    Today’s episode is about podcasting and if you’re interested in digging deeper into how a podcast can help bring you wellness clients on-demand -- join our latest free masterclass.

    FUN FACT (and I'm dating myself a lil' bit here) -- I started my first podcast around 2014, so I've had quite a few years to mess up ... learn from mistakes ... grow ... make more mistakes ... you get the idea. 

    Plus working as a brand strategist and podcast producer for wellness brands and clinician entrepreneurs allows me a behind-the-curtains glimpse that not many podcasters get. 

    Along the way I've established the 5 biggest mistakes that I see ALL (and yes, I do mean ALL) wellness entrepreneurs make when they start their podcast. 

    Whether you're just getting started or already on episode 314, I hope you find value in this episode!

  • Add 6-Figures of Revenue this Year with a Wellness Podcast

    Hi and welcome to Wealthy Wellness Biz - I’m your podcast host Nicole Harlow – CEO of Brand Better, brand strategist and podcast producer for wellness businesses. 

    This is the place to be if you’re a wellness entrepreneur, health coach, functional medicine practitioner or naturopathic doc looking to turn your wellness biz into a WEALTHY wellness biz.   

    Today’s episode is about podcasting and if you’re interested in digging deeper into how a podcast can help you add 6-figures of revenue to your business in the next 12-months, I’d love to invite you to join our latest free masterclass using the link in the shownotes. 

    SO, here’s a fact: I'm encouraging (ok, low-key begging) all of my wellness brand strategy clients that want to scale to multiple 6-figures and beyond to start a branded podcast.

    Here's why ... 

    Every year, media groups like Statistica, Triton Digital, and Edison Research run digital media surveys to measure trends, understand listener behavior, and track podcast growth worldwide

    • Over 60% of U.S. consumers listen to podcasts, and that number grows every year. 
    • 35-54 are monthly podcast listeners (the most popular age group for podcast consumption).
    • Each week, more Americans listen to podcasts than have Netflix accounts.
    • 80% of listeners listen to all or most of every podcast episode they start.


    That’s just listenership and demographics, but it gets even more compelling when you dive into the marketing and purchasing power side of podcasting. 

    Podcasting is a highly effective marketing tool for wellness entrepreneurs looking to grow their reach.

    Here’s how podcast stacks up as an advertising platform 

    • 60% of podcast listeners have bought something from a podcast ad.
    • 72% of listeners who have listened to a podcast for four or more years have purchased a sponsored ad.
    • 69% of respondents say podcast ads increase their awareness of products, brands, and services.
    • 81% say they pay attention to podcast ads more than they do to radio, TV commercials, billboards, and even digital ads on social media.


    That's a lot of potential smart and savvy people with your voice in their airpods, listening to your message and learning with you. In this guide I'm going to share how you can win with podcasts!

    The parasocial nature of podcasting helps to create stronger relationships with an audience than email newsletters, digital ads, or most other forms of marketing. By sharing industry insights and actionable tips with their listeners each and every week, entrepreneurs establish themselves as experts in their niche, leading to more brand awareness, more trust, and more sales. 


    In today’s episode, I want to share my 5 income stacks that can help you to add an extra 6-figures of revenue to your wellness business this year.


    HINT: if you haven't started your podcast, yet ... right now is the perfect time to start.

  • Introvert's Guide to Starting a Wellness Podcast

    Hi and welcome to Wealthy Wellnes Biz - I’m your podcast host Nicole Harlow – CEO of Brand Better, brand strategist and podcast producer for wellness businesses. 

    This is the place to be if you’re a wellness entrepreneur, health coach, functional medicine practicitioner or naturopathic doc looking to turn your wellness biz into a WEALTHY wellness biz.   

    Today’s episode is about podcasting and if you’re interested in digging deeper into how a podcast can help you add 6-figures of revenue to your business in the next 12-months, I’d love to invite you to join our latest free masterclass using the link in the shownotes. 

    –

    One of the things that always surprises people about me is that I’m in introvert (it’s true, INFJ here!)  

    And I think what surprises them is that they seeing me putting myself out there in business, hosting a podcast, teaching workshops … appearing confident and grounded in being front-and-center in my business. 

    While that’s true now, it’s been a process of development – with practice I’ve learned how to foster a sense of confidence being the face of my business, taught myself techniques to support my nervous system and probably most importantly, leaned heavily on automations that makes it seem like I’m everywhere at once … while I’m actuality I’m curled up in my fuzzy blankets drinking tea and reading a book. 

    On today’s episode of Wealthy Wellness Biz, I want to share my thoughts on why I think that not only is it totally possible to start your own wellness podcast as an introvert … but I actually think that introverts make some of THE best podcast hosts. 

    So if you’re an introvert listening to this and you’re thinking “I don’t think I could ever put myself out there” like that, I want to share with you 5 reasons why I believe podcast is an awesome content creation medium for introverts just like us.
