What podcast would you rather appear on? š
1. A big podcast with no social media presence
2. Or a small podcast with a solid social media presence
Surprisingly, there are huge shows with almost no presence on social media.
I find it impressive.
Their growth has been driven mostly through word-of-mouth and the listeners talking about them on social.

But what about the shows that are yet to build a big following?
Usually, these are more niched-down than the biggest shows out there.
Oftentimes, their hosts go above and beyond to distribute the episode online to attract new listeners.
Iām talking snippets, images, text posts, tweets, etc.
You might not reach as many loyal listeners but youāll get tons of assets you can reuse on your social media.
And, frankly, consuming a shorter social media snippet is a āsmaller askā than tuning into a full 30-minute conversation.

If Iād have to choose, Iād pick the second one as the upside of leveraging content for my LinkedIn profile makes me more āin controlā of the outcome.
One episode would easily be one weekās worth of content.
But thatās just me.
So⦠which one would YOU pick and why?
