What is podcast promotion?

Podcast promotion is the process of using audio content, distributed through an RSS feed to promote a product or service. If you, the creator... are able to create content that your ideal customer wants to listen to, then you have their attention. Once you have their attention, you can promote your product or service.

How do you promote a podcast?

First you need to understand who your ideal listener is... based on that you can determine their challenges and desires. You then need to produce audio content that helps this person with their challenges and supports their desires. Once produced, you then simply need to get the attention of your ideal listener and invite them to listen to your podcast.

How do you build a promotional plan around a podcast?

There are two parts to a podcast promotional plan: the launch and then the ongoing promotion. The launch strategy is simple: TELL EVERYONE. The ongoing promotional plan will hinge around content syndication... how can you break down the content from those episodes and distribute on social channels to generate engagement? If you do this right... you can generate a stream of new subscribers to your podcast for free.

Do you have a podcast promotional template?

Haha - good question. We do have internal processes and templates and are in the process of formalising these and packaging them up to release on our blog :)

How effective is podcast promotion?

We focus on B2B podcasts, this allows us to generate an ROI from a podcast not just from the listeners of the podcast... but also the guests. If you have a guest conversion strategy AND a listener conversion strategy, then podcast promotion can be very effective. This blog post outlines 5 pillars you can use to promote your podcast effectively...

How do you grow your podcast audience?

The first step is to ensure that your podcast is support your ideal listeners with their challenges or desires, if you're not doing that... then you need to go back to the drawing board. If you are... then growing your audience will be simple: you just need to get the attention of more of your ideal listeners! The best (and cheapest!) way to do this is to syndicate the content from your podcast into other forms and distribute it onto social platforms to generate engagement, then link back to your podcast.

FAME OS · PROMOTION ENGINE

Eight pillars. One engine. Every episode.

We don't "post and pray." Every episode goes through the same eight-pillar cycle, and the Promotion Engine runs it - clips cut, SEO written, guests nudged to share, paid placed where it pays. Each pillar's impact shows up in your portal as downloads, followers and pacing against the 10% target.

Ensuring podcast listings and blog posts capture any inbound search traffic from podcast directories and Google. This also includes a sneaky, very effective inbound SEO strategy ;)

Fame OS · Growth Radar

Every pillar's impact, scored daily - in your portal.

Growth Radar reads every show every day: downloads against the 10% target, followers, completion, which episodes and which pillars moved the number. Your strategist sees the same screen you do, and the ROI Engine follows each listener from the episode to your site. Promotion you can measure, not promotion you take on trust.
