Growing Your Podcast Starts With WOW Content

How do you grow your audience? I hear this every day in every Facebook group. It starts with your content. It can't be good. It can't be great. I needs to be WOW content that your audience HAS to share. Today we talk about the ingredients that make up wow content from the book Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World by Michael Hyatt. 

I also talk about what GOOGLE thinks is good and what stops us from making WOW content.
