Happy Valentine's Day! I just couldn't pass up being a little cheesy with this episode title. I wanted to do an episode centered around love, and I landed on a conversation about what I like to call "the trifecta," your podcast, email marketing, and Instagram. Because when these three platforms work together, it really is a match made in heaven.

Today, I'm sharing why this match is so perfect and why you should consider it when planning your weekly content. I'm also covering what podcast traffic loops even are, examples of what they could look like (and why they work), and how to create them across your content "trifecta."

One of the best things about podcasting is connecting with other people. And one of my goals this year is to connect with more of YOU who listen to this podcast every week. So, today, I'm chatting with Theresa Hoover, co-host of Pass the Baton, a podcast for music teachers.

Theresa shares how she and her co-host, Kathryn Finch, got started in podcasting after writing a book together and what it's like co-hosting a podcast. But the bulk of this episode is all about how to get more podcast listeners. I give Theresa suggestions on doing just that by utilizing SEO within podcast listening apps, email marketing, reviewing stats to drive content planning, and so much more!

Have you tried using tripwires in your business yet? Maybe you aren't even familiar with them yet. Either way, you are about to get a crash course inside this episode.

We're joined by repeat guest Melanie Battistelli, a former teacher, certified online business manager, and course and launch strategist. In this conversation, we talk about what a tripwire even is, what kind of offer you can use for one, how you should consider tripwires when planning your podcast content, and what kind of tech you need to set them up. I am ALL about leveraging content that you've already created, and tripwires help you do just that.

After listening to this episode, if you are excited to try a tripwire in your business, I would love for you to tag Melanie and me on Instagram so we know you're listening!

Have you ever done a closet purge? If so, you probably discovered that different items fall into different categories. From your day-to-day items to seasonal and special occasion clothing, each type of clothing serves a different purpose based on your needs.

And those closet categories are similar to your podcast categories and content. By creating different types of episodes, you can serve your audience in a unique way. Today, we're talking about the four types of episodes that every podcaster should be weaving into their long-term podcast strategy plan - Foundational, Evergreen, Seasonal, and Social Proof episodes.
