Jerry Dugan's Story: Eight Years of Podcasting with Slow and Steady Growth

Jerry Dugan shares his podcasting journey, spanning eight years, and how he has maintained steady growth despite initial stagnation. He started podcasting as a way to showcase his speaking skills and connect with his audience, starting with a family time Q&A show and later co-hosting Beyond the Rut. Jerry struggled with writing show notes, but with the help of CapShow, he improved his written content, saved time, and was able to focus on other projects like writing a book and releasing a second episode per week. With the use of Podmatch and guest appearances on other shows, Jerry saw a significant increase in downloads, attracting new listeners, and growing his email list. He also found success in leveraging word-of-mouth referrals by nurturing a community of friends and actively sharing his episodes with them.
