Audience

Whether you’re a brand new podcaster or a seasoned professional, creating fresh and engaging content can be challenging. Here are some podcast ideas to help bring new energy to your audio and re-engage your listeners.

Community Hot Take
Traci DeForge

Join Traci DeForge, CEO of Produce Your Podcast, for a free session on Thursday, April 13, 2023 at 2pm EST/11am PST on using your podcast to drive visibility, leads, and sales.

There is an increased demand from business owners with podcasts seeking tactile information on how to grow their show and drive more sales and leads from their podcast. “Produce Your Podcast has successfully been working with our clients for years as they’ve experienced exponential growth,” states DeForge.

There is a large strategy gap between what works well for lifestyle/celebrity podcasts versus branded content podcasts. “Even brilliant marketing teams admit hitting a wall when it comes to sustaining the podcast over time,” said DeForge. “Produce Your Podcast created simple systems to help business owners with podcasts drive visibility, leads and sales and we’re excited to teach our signature systems to a wider audience.”

In our free session, participants will learn the following:

  • Why businesses struggle to drive traffic to their podcasts to effectively build their audience (and how to solve it)

  • The most common marketing mistakes that result in people scrolling past podcasts online

  • How to start building a simple yet scalable plan for monetization - across their own products and services AND external sponsors, ads, etc.

If you are a podcast host who uses your podcast to drive growth in your business for thought leadership, lead generation, and sales into your programs and products, then save your seat for the free webinar here.
