When people ask how to promote your podcast, they’re usually asking the wrong question: How do I grow my downloads?

It’s easy to feel pressure while watching big name podcasters climbing charts, chasing downloads, and keeping up with social media trends.

…But is that actually the best way to promote your podcast?  

If your podcast is part of a service-based business, those vanity metrics aren’t always the most important measure of success.

In this episode, I’m joined by podcast marketing strategist Amanda Bennett, who helps mom podcasters connect with the right listeners, partners, and clients. We talk about how relationship-based marketing, SEO, and simple systems can help your podcast become a true marketing asset…without requiring hours of your time every week.

If you’ve ever wondered how to promote your podcast in a way that actually leads to clients, partnerships, and long-term visibility, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why chasing podcast downloads can distract you from the metrics that actually grow your business
• What Amanda recommends doing if you only have 30 minutes a week to promote your podcast
• The surprising reason relationship marketing grows podcasts faster than algorithms
• How podcast SEO helps the right listeners discover your show
  The difference between growing a podcast audience and building a podcast that supports your business
• A simple way to turn your podcast into a funnel that leads listeners into clients.
• Why “unscalable” marketing actions often create the biggest results for podcasters
• Where AI can help podcasters save time (and where it can hurt your credibility)

Email marketing is one of the most talked-about growth tools in online business. And yet… So many smart founders struggle to do it consistently. If you’ve ever thought:

• “If I email more, people will unsubscribe.”
• “Three emails a week sounds like too much.”
• “I don’t want to annoy my list.”

This episode will challenge some assumptions in the most refreshing way. We’re following up with one of our most downloaded guest episodes ever and we’re going deeper.

Last time, Holly Haynes shared how owning her brand voice doubled her revenue. In this episode, we unpack what that actually looks like now — specifically how she’s refined her email marketing strategy (with open rates at 52%), leaned further into segmentation, and committed even more intentionally to building a social media optional business.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• What’s changed (and what hasn’t) in Holly’s 3–5 email per week rhythm
• How to make high-frequency emailing feel personal and still increase open rates
• What she’s doubling down on (instead of expanding to more platforms)
• What a “micro-partnership” actually looks like (and why it’s more powerful than chasing more opportunities)
• The shift from dopamine-driven visibility to data-driven growth
• Where her traffic and clients are really coming from (hint: not social media)

Your brand voice matters more than any algorithm. 

Leaning into your own brand voice is one of the scariest things you can do…because people see and hear the real you. AND, leaning into your brand voice is one of the most powerful things you can do…because people see and hear the real you! It can be a double edged sword. That is why I cannot wait for you to hear the super smart way that Holly leaned into her authentic brand voice to create such incredible (and consistent!) results.

In this episode, she breaks down the three to four emails a week that her audience loves to read, how it strategically reinforces key themes, and keeps her top of mind (without taking all her time!). Holly is so generous with her behind-the-scenes in this episode. 

She shares how really leaning into her voice across all of her media platforms doubled her revenue in one year and is the strategy she continues to use today. The best part? YOU can apply these same principles to your business. Holly keeps it simple and doable.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The social media optional strategy that continues to fuel Holly’s revenue growth
• How consistent messaging builds trust (and makes selling easier)
• The 3-email-per-week structure that nurtures without feeling overwhelming (or annoying)
• The mindset shift that makes email marketing feel energizing (and why it's better than the immediate gratification of the social media dopamine hit)
• Simple email formulas that creates consistency and trust.

This Episode Is For You If:

• You feel pressure to constantly post on social media
• You’re showing up consistently but not seeing conversions
• You ghost your email list until launch time
• You want a repeatable system that fits your life
• You crave visibility without burnout

Pinterest isn’t just for recipes and travel inspo. Here’s how to use it for real business growth:

What if your blog could keep bringing in traffic for years—without needing to perform on Instagram or churn out more content?

That’s exactly what Kate Ahl, founder of Simple Pin Media, helps business owners do with Pinterest.

In this episode, we cover:

• The biggest Pinterest myth most business owners still believe
• A surprising example of keyword research that might change your SEO strategy
• The #1 goal Kate recommends for most service providers on Pinterest
• How to actually track success on the platform (without obsessing over views)
• Kate’s answer to “How often should I pin?”
• The difference between Pinterest keywords vs. Google SEO
• A personal traffic comparison that might change how you use Instagram
