Level up your podcast!

Let’s start growing your audience, and plan towards earning from your show.

Your Own Unique Approach

Why should they listen to YOU?

The most important step in growth is giving them a reason to listen. All of your promotion, your marketing, your outreach, is based around your unique approach.

That might be your personality, your approach, your topic, or a range of other things, but it has to be unique in your area. Why listen to YOU, amongst all the other shows out there. Only with that solidly in mind can you make sure your growth efforts are worthwhile.

What Scale am I Aiming For?

The next step: figuring out your goals.

Remember, this depends entirely on both your topic AND your aims. In some niches, an audience of 1000 listeners is big, and can lead to a decent living. In some people, your aims are simply to cover the cost of your hobby.

But yet more podcasters want to go full-time and create a large business around their show. The approach is similar, but the time and effort is different. Let’s take a lot at how to grow.

Choose your Method
(& Adapt!)

Start small and grow your income streams.

Not many podcasters started out earning a full living from their show. More often than not it evolved over time.

Perhaps a little affiliate income, then a sponsorship or two, then developing your own product.  The path is yours to choose!

Money: First Steps

A couple of places to start in earning

There are two places that are a common starting point for earning from your show: sponsorship and premium content.

That’s probably because both methods are really just selling what you’re already making: the show itself! How do you go about it?
