Ash and Kane share how you can get 1k downloads on your podcast in just 30 days. They reveal the things you can do to set your podcast up to get the highest amount of downloads when you first launch and beyond.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Batch record 10 episodes before you release any, so your new audience can listen to multiple episodes
- Include interviews in your initial episodes, ideally from someone who has a loyal following and audience already
- When launching your podcast, ensure you are promoting it across different social media platforms in the lead up launch.
- Having a competition or giveaway can be used to guide listeners to download on release day to help your podcast chart
- Charting helps you be found by organic listeners
- Guest on other people’s podcasts in the two weeks before you launch or ask for episodes where you are a guest to be released close to your launch date
- Find communities where you can first add value and then promote your show
- Attend industry events to network and promote your show, the more niche, the better
- Spend some time on your SEO, in your show notes and titles and aim to include search terms within them
BEST MOMENTS
