Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast with Courtney Elmer | Podcasting Strategy for Business Growth Fix My Pod | Why Your Podcast Gets Seen but Not Clicked (And How to Fix It)
Your podcast isn’t stuck at the same download count each week because you “need more marketing.” In most cases, it’s because when marketing does send people your way, new listeners don’t see a reason to click, and scroll right past. In this episode, we fix that.
In this Fix My Pod coaching session, I’m sitting down with estate planning attorney Sara Ecklein to pinpoint what her show is accidentally communicating to new listeners, identify where her cover art and show title are keeping people from clicking, and show what you can change on your show today so the right person knows in seconds, "Holy cow, this IS for me!"
So if you keep checking your stats and you’re tired of seeing the same download numbers staring back at you week in and week out, hit play and let’s dive in.
