Either way, it's something you should consider doing more of. On this episode of Grow The Show, I'm going to explain exactly why that is.

The reason why most podcasters struggle with growth has nothing to do with their actual growth strategy. It's actually because their premise and their audience definition are vague, confusing, and broken. They don't work.  Even if you have the juiciest most effective growth strategy, you're not going to grow if you don't have your premise and your audience definition locked in.  So, that's what we're going to focus on in today's episode.  I'll share two exercises to help you create a super specific audience profile and show premise.  By the end of the show, you'll be able to identify what makes your show totally unique, and refine your show's premise so that it actually HELPS you to grow your audience.

Today I'm answering a question that I get a lot: How can entertainment-only podcasts grow their audience and monetize?  I'll admit— I usually focus this show on "how to" podcasts because they can be easier to grow and monetize.  However, that doesn't mean that the techniques I teach here can't still be applied to an entertainment-style show.  In fact, the strategies I teach here can be equally as effective for entertainment shows.  The main difference is HOW the tactics are applied and how you prioritize your time.  Today, I'm going to address the similarities and differences between business podcasts and entertainment podcasts.  By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly how to apply my strategies to your entertainment podcast.  And, you'll have a list of the things you need to prioritize for growth and monetization success.
