  • Ready to monetize your podcast? How to make money podcasting (even with a small audience)- Podcast Growth Series EP 6
    Jun 1 2025

    If you think getting sponsors is the golden ticket to podcast monetization, it’s time for a reset.

    This episode is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about making money with your podcast. Because the truth is:

    🎯 Monetization isn’t step one. 🎯 You don’t need 10k downloads or to sell your soul to ads. 🎯 Just because you built it, doesn't mean they'll come.

    Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:

    • Why waiting on sponsorships might actually be slowing your growth

    • The real reason ads make your podcast sound...off

    • The easiest, most aligned way to monetize if you're a service provider (and why no one’s telling you this)

    • What to create and sell instead of waiting around for brands to email you

    • And the exact mindset shift that turned my podcast into a client-generating funnel

    We’re halfway through the Podcast Growth Series, and this is the turning point. If you’re here to grow a show that supports your business (instead of draining your time and energy), this one’s a must-listen.

  • 5 years podcasting! Mistakes, useful lessons and what actually worked
    May 15 2025

    Today, we're celebrating 5 years of this podcast! Hope you enjoy this episode!

    Here is the passage from The Horse and His Boy where Aslan reveals to Shasta (later known as Prince Cor) how he had been guiding and protecting him throughout his life. This quote is from Chapter 11 of The Horse and His Boy:

    “I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses the new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.” Xo,

    We’re in the messy middle of building your foundation. These are the steps that lead to long term podcast audience growth, not short bursts of clout.

  • How to increase podcast engagement (and create a community of superfans!) – Podcast Growth Series EP 4
    Apr 1 2025

    Are you building a loyal podcast listener community? Here's how to do it!

    Have you ever felt like podcasting can be a lonely journey? Without a dedicated community of engaged listeners, growing and sustaining a podcast can feel like talking into the void. Building a loyal listener base is the key to long-term podcast growth, deeper engagement, and future monetization.

    In this episode, you will learn how to grow your podcast by creating a thriving community that goes beyond passive listening. A strong podcast strategy includes spaces where listeners can connect, engage, and become invested in your show. Whether through a Facebook group, Telegram channel, email list, or another platform, providing a space for deeper interaction builds stronger connections.

    Encouraging podcast listener engagement means offering valuable content consistently. People seek out meaningful content that fits their needs, and a well-structured podcast content strategy ensures that every episode delivers value. Thoughtful podcast storytelling creates a lasting impact, making listeners feel like they are part of something bigger.

    A well-optimized podcast SEO strategy ensures that your episodes get discovered, but retention depends on how well you nurture the audience once they find you. Strategic podcast keywords in your titles and descriptions help new listeners find your content, but engagement determines whether they stay and become long-term fans.

    As your audience grows, your ability to monetize increases. In future episodes, we will explore how to make money from a podcast and effective podcast monetization strategies that turn loyal listeners into paying supporters.

    If you want to increase podcast engagement, it starts with making every episode feel like a must-listen. Listeners should feel like they are gaining exclusive insights and being part of a movement. When you position your podcast as more than just information but as a community-driven experience, listeners will keep coming back and naturally share your show with others.

    Listen and start building your listener community today!
