Share, Strategize, & Shine: Podcasting Tips and Strategy for Online Business, Coaches, and Consultants

If you’ve been a podcaster for any length of time, you’ve probably asked yourself at some point, “Is my podcast even worth it?”. The answer to that question relies entirely on the role of your podcast and how it serves your larger business goals. That’s why actually measuring podcast success can look a little different for everyone!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing why the metrics for podcast success can feel a little ambiguous and some simple strategies you can implement to get clear on the value of your podcast. I cover everything from being intentional with your goals and your marketing funnel to tracking data through unique landing pages and listener inquiry forms. With a few tweaks and little patience, chances are that your podcast can be equally valuable to your audience and your business.
