Podcast Marketing Trends Explained: Data-Driven Podcast Growth Strategies
What Everyone’s Getting Wrong About Video Podcasting & YouTube | Podcast Strategy
Video is changing podcasting, probably forever and probably in ways we can’t predict.
But while conversations and debates about the risks and upsides to creators as well as the industry as a whole are inescapable right now, they all seem to be missing the key point: That this isn’t a conversation about different consumption mediums and file delivery formats.
It’s a conversation about YouTube as a platform, and the power, influence, and magnetism it exerts on every person on the internet.

Podcast Strategy
The difference between an effective show—one that does the job you created it to do—and one that is an endless drain on your time, energy and bank account comes down to your strategy… or lack thereof.
Strategy is an oft-misunderstood term that encompasses, guides, and grounds the intentional decisions around every aspect of your show and marketing, including your show concept, positioning, format, content strategy, packaging, monetization strategy, promotion, and more.
In short, the answers to any marketing question are based in your strategy. Which means without a clearly defined strategy, you’re shooting in the dark, and unlikely to ever get the results you’re looking for from your podcast, whether that’s audience growth, customer acquisition, or both.
