Leveraging a Podcast to Evolve your Brand

A podcast is a good addition to marketing mix to amplify sales funnel to get more people who would love working with you. A podcast helps to build trust, it is another touch-point. With a podcast, you can do so much more and connect to people on a deeper level because you can adjust to their learning styles

Getting started with a podcast

One of the biggest barriers to starting a podcast is knowing where to begin! The key is just to start! Great way to start getting comfortable with audio is t o grab your phone and record a 10 minute audio. Get used to the sound of your voice! You hear your own voice differently than other people.

Advice for business owners

There’s a misconception that you need a sponsor to start a podcast. It used to be 1000 downloads minimums to make $10… now it’s thousands! What you have to understand is that the shift is away from having a sponsor. Instead, I recommend using your podcast to promote your own products and services. Put a promo at the beginning or the end about your offer. Drive them through your sales funnel and get them to where you want them to go.
