Is social media actually worth it for growing your podcast—or just a waste of time?

In this episode, we reveal how one of our clients went from zero to 5,400 monthly downloads in just 90 days—without paid ads, big-name guests, or fancy reels. Instead, he built a simple community content flywheel using Facebook groups that quietly exploded his show’s reach and listenership.

This strategy goes way beyond "just post your episode." It’s a replicable system that builds real engagement and converts lurkers into loyal fans—on autopilot.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. The exact content flywheel that turned one podcast into a growth machine
2. How to use Facebook groups without sounding spammy or salesy
3. Why listener feedback loops matter more than followers—and how to build one

If you’re ready to grow your solo podcast and generate sales online, this episode is your blueprint. Tune in now.
