Step aside Facebook Ads. Move over Instagram Sponsored posts. Buzzsprout just blew the freaking lid off podcast advertising!

In today's episode, I'm breaking down Buzzsprout's newest (amazing!) feature that we've all been waiting for: Buzzsprout Ads.

This new feature allows two things that have been seemingly impossible for a lot of podcasters: 

1.  A way to monetize your podcast easily (while also shedding light on other excellent podcasts)
2. AND a way to promote your show to a captive audience of podcast listeners.

I'm breaking down why this is important for you as a podcast host -- and how you can start running ads immediately. We're also covering requirements for running promotional ads and what that looks like as a show host.

Today's episode is super juicy and full of details that'll make your mind expand and explode in the best way possible. So, join me for a download of everything you need to know about Buzzsprout Ads.

"But I don't want to dance on video!" This statement has been the loudest complaint/hesitation I've heard from people in this community not wanting to try TikTok. And I'm by no means an expert on the matter.

But that's why I invite guests to this show to share their experience and expertise with you, so I don't have to know everything! 

Today's guest, Aubree Malick, is a podcast host of the Freelance to CEO Podcast and a TikTok sensation. As a former teacher and someone with a heart for helping others, Aubree's sharing with us her journey of leaving her teaching job to become a full-time online educator.

We talk about how TikTok has contributed to her explosive growth in the last two years and cover some of the not-so-nice aspects of the business. 

If you're getting out of your comfort zone (deep in the messy middle) and want validation that you're on the right track, today's episode is just for you!

Have you ever thought, "I have a specific audience I want to reach, but I'm not completely sure where to find them. I know my people are out there, but how do I reach them..."?

We're diving into this topic during our coaching call today with Haley Peel, the host of The Empowered Adventurer Podcast. We discussed a few options for Haley to market her show and business to this specific subset of adventure enthusiasts.

We also talked about podcast guesting podcasts and thinking outside the box for your content audience. Don't shy away from expanding into new areas to find the people you want to reach.

Today's episode is great for anyone wanting some new marketing ideas for their content!

"How many times should you, or a guest on your podcast, mention their podcast during the interview?" This question from the community is what we are answering in today's episode.

One of the things I love about having a YouTube channel is the comment section. There are flattering comments, ridiculous rants, and helpful questions in the comments. Today's episode is based solely on one comment I received from an audience member.

It's one of those "If one person has this question, I bet 20 more people do too" questions. We're talking about how much you should talk about what you do in content interviews. 

If you've had "guest on more podcasts" or "get in front of a bigger audience" on your to-do list, this episode will help you balance how much you need to plug yourself and where to find the balance between too much and not enough.

"...part of it also is that I know so much I have so much to share. I have so much to share!" Do you feel this way too?

You could talk about your content topic for days, weeks, or even years without skipping a beat. But maybe, you're not 100% sure which idea comes next. Or how many ideas to shove into one piece of content.

Today's episode is a continuation of our coaching call series, and I'm chatting with Kay'aleya Hunnybee about the beginning stages of her podcast journey. We're covering how to overcome switching between planning, recording, and editing an episode without feeling overwhelmed.

We're also tackling the big questions about show notes and when to start creating them.

This episode is juicy for anyone just getting started on their content journey!

"What's the best way to tie all of your content together across a podcast, YouTube, email, and social media?" The answer is simple: one weekly theme!

In today's episode, I'm walking you through how I've managed to coordinate all of my content into a weekly theme. Creating one specific theme helps make the content message clearer and allows me to promote different pieces of content with more confidence.

Whether your goal is to create one long-form piece of content that you repurpose into bite-sized nuggets or you want to go deep on one platform while keeping it high level in another, this episode has the strategies you need!

After creating almost 1,000 podcast episodes, 350 YouTube videos, and sending a weekly email since 2017, I can assure you that creating a weekly theme for my content has saved me from unnecessary stress and overwhelm -- and it can help you too!

"I  just have so many ideas. My challenge is kind of matching the ideas to my launch calendar, but then also fleshing out those ideas." This statement is the jumping-off point of what we're talking about today.

We're continuing our coaching call series with Jean Miller from the Art of Homeschooling podcast. Jean wants to know more about aligning content across multiple platforms - in her case, a podcast and YouTube channel.

I'm sharing how I use my podcast as the dry run for my YouTube videos and digging into my behind-the-scenes strategy of using the same idea across multiple platforms. 

If you've been thinking about adding a new platform to your content, this coaching call is for you!

What is a “content funnel,” and why does it need a strategy behind it?

We’re diving into one of my favorite marketing tools in today's episode: funnels! I’m sharing with you why content funnels are so important and why I wish I would've had at least one setup when I first started.

If you're new to content creation, you'll be miles ahead of the other creators in your genre. And if you've been creating content for a while but not getting the growth you want to see, this may be just the episode you've been missing.

You'll also learn the five critical things to consider when building a content funnel while I walk you through the exact funnel I use in my business. (Plus, there's an excellent illustration in the show notes. Don't judge my handwriting, though!)

My goal with this episode was for you to walk away feeling energized and more confident in your content strategy, and ready to look at your content with a fresh perspective.

Are you trying to decide if you'll have a YouTube channel or a podcast? Or maybe you already have one, and you're trying to determine if it's time to add another platform. 

We're looking at all of the angles of a podcast vs. a YouTube channel in this episode.

Today, I'm sharing insights on how each platform is different and the same. Although I'm not pitting these two against each other to decide which is the "ultimate champion" for content creators, I am sharing with you what I enjoy about each one.

You'll walk away with a clearer picture of why repurposing across the two platforms is challenging and straightforward in one episode. You'll also understand why they each serve their content strategy purpose in my content behind the scenes.
