Turning to your contacts and other communication channels are some of the best ways to grow your podcast’s audience. However, it’s not as easy as that. In this episode, you’ll learn these harsh facts:
75% of the people you actively engage with in various communication channels don’t have the podcast habit.
Less than 10% of the people in your contact list will bother to check out your podcast.
But it’s not all doom-and-gloom. The trick is a two-parter:
Make your contacts feel special
Don’t pollute their chosen channel
If you can do those things -- and yes, I will give you specific examples of what I mean -- you can not only increase your odds of turning a contact into a listener. But you’re actively working to make podcasting better.
