Who do you think about more? Your current audience, listeners that have already found you and love you and consider themselves part of your community or new listeners, someone that might be searching for a certain topic or just something to listen to and they find you and become a part of your audience.

As podcasters it can be really easy to get caught up in making content for one of the two. For most of us, I’d say we focus mostly on the community we already have and there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, as a podcast producer I’d say that focusing on your current audience is one of the best things you can do for the stability and success of your podcast. 

However, and there’s always a however lurking around, you have to keep in mind your next listeners. You always need to be carving out a part of your podcast and brand and business that’s focused on finding the next audience you’ll have, because if you’re not getting that new listener another podcast is and they’ll be the ones that get the opportunities we’re working towards.

So in this episode we’re going to talk about producing podcast episodes that get shared, even by strangers. Why it’s so important that your community and listeners outside of your community are talking about and sharing your podcast, how organic growth will impact your podcast’s bottom line and what kind of episodes get shared.

There’s a fine line in podcasting. There’s a fine line between being yourself and sharing too much. There’s a fine line between knowing your audience and completely forgetting who this show was created for. There’s a fine line between selling and completely sabotaging your business.

In this episode we’re going to talk about the invisible funnel, and how your podcast should be driving sales in your business, red flags you might be doing more harm than good with your content and the easy fixes that will help you transform your audience into your most loyal buyers.

As podcasters we kind of have to be obsessed with what’s next.

It’s way too easy to get stuck in the churn of what’s happening right now, and we have to focus on the next big guest, your next recording date, that next launch and the product you’ll have next year. That’s part of being a podcaster and business owner and being a high achiever. You always have to be looking around corners and figuring out what’s next before your competition does.

It can be really hard to get out of this mindset, because it’s so critical to the success of most parts of our lives, but for most podcasters I know, that’s distracting you from the treasure trove of what you’ve already created.

In this episode we’re talking about why your back catalog matters, organizing your archive, repurposing, and how to effectively market your past episodes for the future growth of your podcast.

Podcast analytics are like the wild west: there is no standard of law and order. 

As you know, it doesn’t take long to be completely confused by your podcast host analytics and going on Spotify for Creator and stressing out of Apple Podcasts Connect - I know because I’m right there with you. 

There’s a bunch of numbers and stats and listeners and downloads and what does it all mean? What does it mean for you? What does it mean for you listener? What does it mean for someone that might want to give you money to advertise on your podcast?

You start a podcast, it’s fun for about 3 weeks and then - life starts happening... recordings are getting more inconvenient, you don't know what to talk about, your guests aren’t responding, everything is expensive and you have ten downloads on your episodes.

I know I say this in every episode, but podcasting is hard. It’s time consuming, it’s expensive, it’s frustrating, it’s loney, and sometimes it’s hard to know when it’s time to quit. In this episode we’ll talk about that inevitable crossroads that every podcaster will eventually find themselves in and how to know when and if it’s time to quit your podcast.

✨ChatGPT✨ it’s magical, it’s mystical and it really is amazing, mostly because it does all the stuff we don’t want to do. It might also be ruining your podcast.

This episode is so contradictory to most of what I teach you about incorporating AI into your podcast workflow, but I’m seeing way too many podcasters destroying their podcasts with ChatGPT and before it goes on any further let’s have a candid conversation about what you should actually be using automation and large language models to do in you podcast and what’s total garbage slop that’s going to drive away your audience and future listeners.

In this episode: How ChatGPT is driving away your listener before they can even click play, signs AI might be tanking your podcast and what you should be using automations to do in your podcast.
