We Are Podcast 244. Getting Past Your Fear of Sales
Look, selling doesn’t come easily to everyone. A lot of you are starting podcasts as a passion project. And it’s obviously going to be hard to turn that into a sales platform. It’s easier to sell if you understand the different stages of selling.
Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast.

We’ll teach you how to build an audience. And we’ll show you how to keep them coming back, show after show.
So if you want to start a podcast, or expand your current audience, this is the show for you.
When does somebody buy from us?
Sales are only possible when there’s trust. In the podcasting world, a listener only becomes loyal once the trust is already established. So once you have an audience, you shouldn’t be afraid of sales. You’re already there!
This is a short and sweet episode, but it’s fully packed with vital information on how to get past your natural fear of sales.
