    E74 Leveraging Friends and Family: Boosting Your Podcast's Launch and Growth

    E74 Leveraging Friends and Family: Boosting Your Podcast's Launch and Growth

    In today's episode, we'll be diving into a topic that might make you a little uncomfortable - leveraging your friends and family when launching a new podcast.  Feeling hesitant to share your podcast with the people can be hard because you might be fearing judgment or criticism. But telling people about your show can really give you a boost of listeners, and give you the momentum that you won't have if you do a silent launch.  Today I share my experience and explain why involving your loved ones can actually help your podcast thrive. When I started my two podcasts I kept them under wraps, only to find out that hardly anyone was listening. It wasn't until word got out through the interviews I conducted that people started to take notice. 

    We'll explore the benefits of involving your family and friends right from the beginning stages of your podcast. They may possess valuable skills that can enhance your show, like graphic design or audio engineering. And by seeking their input, you can create anticipation and simply just let people know what you have coming.  So when you do launch, people are waiting. 

    • Leveraging friends and family when launching a new podcast
    • Using their skills and expertise for feedback and improvement
    • Building anticipation and support
    • Building a supportive network through friends and family
    • Generating initial listeners and reviews
    • Addressing the fear of judgment and the importance of pushing past it

    PART 2 - How to Use Private Audio Feeds to Boost Business and ROI with Kim Tradewell

    PART 2 - How to Use Private Audio Feeds to Boost Business and ROI with Kim Tradewell

    Are you team audio or video? Or if you’re like me, you’re team ‘both’!

    There is so much value in using audio and video in your content creation process. But how can you leverage the audio portion and create a lasting, memorable and meaningful experience for your community?

    In this episode, part 2 of four of my series with Kim, we’re talking about the use of both video and audio in private podcasting, and highlighting how the two mediums can complement each other rather than compete. We also cover how podcasts can be a supplement to other forms of content and how they can add value.

    We deep dive into how private podcasting can be used effectively in coaching or educational settings, providing personalized sessions even for clients that can't meet in person. Private podcasts can also be used to provide an elevated experience for clients looking for exclusive content, like those in niche markets or specific events. Additionally, we discuss the different types of feeds that can be created, from group coaching programs to niche-specific content like daily meditations and food tutorials.

    We also emphasize how crucial it is to make content easily accessible to busy people, with options for private feeds increasing completion rates and keeping listeners engaged with the content.
