Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast with Courtney Elmer | Podcasting Strategy for Business Growth 4 Podcast Mistakes That Kill Word-of-Mouth Podcast Growth | Arielle Nissenblatt
Most podcasters say their content is valuable. But if no one is sharing your episodes, recommending your show, or mentioning it in their communities, the problem usually isn’t the quality of your content. It’s how (and where) you’re asking people to engage with it.
Arielle Nissenblatt (Podcast Hall of Fame inductee and founder of EarBuds) is back to break down the small but common mistakes that make a show harder to share. We talk about the number one mistake podcasters make with their email newsletters that trains people to ignore them, why most podcast pitches to newsletters and curators get deleted, and how building just a handful of real partnerships in your niche can grow your show faster than posting clips and promoting every episode on social media. So if you know your show is valuable but it’s still not getting shared like it should, hit play and let’s dive in.
