Jay Clouse helps people become professional creators and is the host of Creative Elements. The podcast recently joined HubSpot's podcast network and I brought Jay on to talk about the behind-the-scenes aspects of how this happened.

If you're interested in getting your podcast involved with a podcast network, listen up, because this multi-episode series breaks down the process, step-by-step. To make sure you don't miss additional episodes, subscribe to Build a Big Podcast here.

I talk with Jay about:

• Quitting a podcast that no longer works for you
• Getting the attention of established podcast producers
• "Promoting a podcast" vs. "launching a podcast"
• Building a great podcast from the ground up
• Small podcast programming tweaks to assure you don't end up with "just another podcast" that gets ignored
• Podcasting-related lessons from pitching startups
• Podcasting-related skills developed from "half a journalism degree"
• Organizing your podcast episodes in a way that attracts listeners (and makes your podcast stand out)
