School of Podcasting - Podcast Tips to Plan, Launch, Grow Your Podcast A $4000 Podcast Auditor Ambush
We know that when you give value, your audience can feel like they "owe you" and when you give them the opportunity they will return the favor. Today we hear about a covert operation pulled off to deliver a box of presents to Glenn the Geek Hebert of the Horse Radio Network as he was recovering from not one but TWO surgeries. The story is amazing.
We also have a tool to reward your superfans for sharing your show with their friends. We also catch up with the Dog Podcast Network.
