The Podcast Babes

Getting to 1 million downloads is a dream many podcasters have and my guest yesterday was able to get there in only five years. 

In yesterday’s episode, Sheena Yap Chan broke down how she got to 1 million downloads while staying true to her mission and gave us some great tips on how to get to that level organically and authentically. In today’s episode, I have some additional ideas on how to boost your stats.

Growing up as a minority in Canada, Sheena Yap Chan rarely saw images that looked like her in the media. Believing blond hair and blue eyes were the beauty standard left her with low confidence in herself and her value. 

Recognizing the harmful impact of underrepresentation, Sheena created The Tao Of Self-Confidence podcast to amplify the voices of strong Asian women to inspire and break stereotypes. Over 800 episodes and 1 million downloads later, she has some incredible insight on how to be authentic, consistent, and successful as a podcaster. Listen in to learn more!

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you know how important I think podcast strategy is to your overall success. Over half of the episodes I’ve created for The Podcast Babes Podcast have focused on strategy. 

This is why I loved having Melissa Ronda on the show yesterday. She has never had a strategy for her show and she is currently a top 15 weight loss podcaster. Our chat really got me thinking about how to find your perfect podcast format, using her method of going with the flow and seeing what works best instead of planning everything out. Today I want to talk about how you can find the perfect show format for your podcast without needing a structured strategy. Let’s dive in!

Before starting a new podcast, most podcasters attempt to plan out every last detail. Sometimes to a fault. That’s not the way Melissa Ronda did it, though.  Since the beginning of her top 15 weight loss podcast, Melissa has had no strategic plan for her show. 

As someone who champions podcast strategy, I was super curious as to how Melissa was able to make it to 200+ episodes with no strategy. Check out today’s episode of The Podcast Babes Podcast to learn how she did it.

Podcasters love creating new episodes. It’s what inspires us and we can’t wait to share our passion with the world. Though we love this medium, it is a lot of time, effort, and money to create each episode. 

In yesterday’s episode, Kamille Cawley shared how she repurposes her episodes to get the most mileage from each episode and how recording with video allows her to create even more content from each episode. Today, I’m going to expand on our conversation even more so that you can get the most from every episode. Let’s get started!

A lot of times people want to start a podcast to get clients. For Lucy, it wasn't that. For her, what was important was actually the networking. She has clients who have listened to her podcast, and they feel connected to her, which makes it clear that she’s the right person to work with them. But that's not her priority. 

Lucy’s priority is to serve whoever she's attracted to, whether they become a client or not. Even if they don’t end up working with her, she still changed their lives or made their lives better. I had to ask Lucy how she builds that connection with her listeners and guests and how to make an actual impact with your podcast. Are you curious about her answers? Tune in to this episode of The Podcast Babes Podcast!

Every podcaster posts on social media about new episodes and go check it out here. For me that’s the standard promotion of your podcast. In this episode, I will not be talking about that, but really about the extra things you can do. 

I believe that if you really want to grow your podcast, posting on social media is not enough. There are ways to get new listeners without having to grow your Instagram or grow your LinkedIn network or anything like that. Listen in to find out how to promote your podcast in other ways!
