Episode Takeaways

The algorithms reward consistency. Audiences love it too, it builds trust. Enjoying your content becomes a part of their weekly rituals and you become an integral part of their life.
Be authentic. People are naturally wired to turn away from those they don´t think are honest.
Employ “real world” marketing methods, they are effective and, often, easy. Louie shares several during this episode.
On social media, post in a way that gives the algorithms what they want.
Invite guests with strong followings, and make it easy for them to share your show and collaborate. When you do this well, their audience becomes your audience too.
Create content with really high, rich keywords e.g. famous names or trends. You can piggyback off of them, feed the algorithms and get more of an audience.

BEST MOMENTS

“You might feel like you don't want to scream and shout about this thing that you've made, but ultimately you´ve got to bite the bullet and put yourself out there. ”

“Think about who you're trying to get in touch with. Think about what platforms they might exist on.”

“Make sure that you equip your guests with all the links, all the clips, all the things that they need in order to share your show.”

"Even if they don't subscribe right away, they'll constantly have a stream of you, and eventually they might subscribe, or they'll just keep watching. "
