Both had amazing guests on their shows and were skilled hosts, but the problem lay in their generic content. His advice was to narrow their content, but it wasn’t well received at first. After all, the most popular podcasters talk about a variety of topics and still have tons of committed listeners. Think Jay Shetty, Mel Robbins, Alex Hormozi, etc. These may be your favorite podcasters, but it’s important to remember that their journey to success didn’t include covering broad content right from the beginning. They focused their content towards a specific audience and grew their popularity over time — and this is the most effective strategy for any podcaster to do the same. By the end of this episode, podcasters will understand how to create a show that resonates with listeners and apply the advice Kevin gave his two clients for their own show.  Topics discussed in this episode: Why talented creators struggle to grow their audience How popular podcasters succeed with broad content Niching down to get traction and build your audience The paths popular creators take to be able to speak broadly How podcasters can create a show that resonates with audiences MORE FROM KEVIN: Take the FREE 12 Days of Podcast Growth Email Course to get 12 days of podcast growth lessons in your inbox!

When someone searches for your podcast on Google, does your podcast website show up first? How much time and money do you spend on the design, upkeep, and maintenance of your podcast website? What I've found is that most podcasters fall into one of two camps regarding their podcast website: They are either completely overwhelmed, have virtually no website presence, and don't even know the first place to start, Or, the opposite is true, and they've actually spent TOO MUCH TIME developing their website and SEO. Whether you are in either of those camps or maybe you're somewhere in between, this episode of Grow The Show is going to help. That's because today we're joined by Brenden Mulligan, the creator of PodPage, which is an easy podcast website creation platform kinda like Squarespace, but easier, and designed specifically for podcasters. Today, Brenden is here to set the record straight on these questions, and more, that continue to plague podcasters to this day: What should my website look like? Is my SEO good enough?

How does branding affect that? I don't know about you, but every time I hear somebody talking about branding, I'm less sure of what it means and how to do it. That lack of clarity is going to change right now. That's because this week's Grow The Show podcast guest is is Pia Silva. Pia is the author of the book Badass Your Brand, she's a Forbes columnist, she's done a TED Talk, and she's a podcaster. On this week's episode of GTS, you're going to get an inside look at her branding process. Pia will also explain why great branding is crucial for podcasters (or any entrepreneurs, for that matter), and she'll give you the questions you need to ask yourself when building your own brand.

Have you ever noticed that people who don't have podcasts seem to think that podcasting is really easy? Here at Grow The Show, we like to say that making a podcast is easy, but making a good podcast is really hard. However, there is a reason people who don't know better think that what we do is effortless. That's because the best podcasters make their shows sound smooth and natural. It sounds like two people having a really good, interesting, and funny conversation. Even though it sounds effortless, it actually takes a ton of work to make a podcast episode sound completely natural. Today, we’re joined by NPR producer and host Lauren Migaki who will teach us how to do that. If you want to produce a high-quality, natural-sounding podcast as efficiently as possible, join us for this week’s episode of Grow The Show. --------- JOIN GROW THE SHOW PRO See here how Grow The Show Pro will help you grow + monetize your podcast, at a simple low monthly price.

Did you know that you can permanently grow your podcast audience by 25% by releasing just ONE podcast episode? That's right. Just one. BUT, you don't get that kind of growth from releasing an episode on your own podcast feed. Instead, you have to be a guest on someone else's podcast. Don't just take it from me, however. Take it from this week's Grow The Show podcast guest, Angie Trueblood. She's the founder of The Podwise Group, and she's the host of the Go Pitch Yourself podcast. Long story short, Angie is a podcast pitching expert— her entire job is all about getting people featured as guests on podcasts. Today, she's sharing all of her secrets with Grow The Show Listeners. If you're ready to learn the most effective way to get yourself featured on other podcast feeds and to skyrocket your audience size in the process, then you've gotta check out this episode!
