Why Being You Grows Your Show and Builds Your Audiance
Beyond the Downloads | Podcast & Business Growth
01/17/25 • 11 min
Are you tired of blending in with the crowd? Live from PodFest in Florida, where I delivered my first major speaking engagement in a giant dragon pool floaty, I’m here to show you how authenticity can fuel podcast growth like nothing else. Your unique perspective is the power behind your message, and embracing that unapologetically sets you apart in a crowded podcast landscape.
By sharing personal stories, leaning into your quirks, and even getting a little “spicy,” you build a memorable brand that resonates with ideal listeners who crave real, raw content.
Let’s talk about why stepping outside the box ignites genuine connections and weeds out anyone who isn’t aligned with your vision. I’ll reveal how documenting your journey, even the messy middle, can transform your show into a relatable, binge-worthy platform.
If you’ve been masking parts of yourself, it’s time to let go of “shoulds” and spotlight the true you. Your story deserves a microphone, and your willingness to be vulnerable might be exactly what someone else needs to spark their transformation.
Get ready to stand out, attract your dream audience, and make a lasting impact.

Chapter Summaries:
[00:00:00] John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneur on fire nation on the podcast today. We are talking about the key to success. If you want to know how to grow your podcast, this episode is for you. [00:01:45] We're talking all things podcasting. Not just in the sense of strategy of how to launch, grow and monetize your show. We're going deep into how podcasting can actually help you build your community, and build your confidence. And as we know, success starts from within. [00:02:40] Jenn Lydon: I feel like you're the king of value content. If you can solve real problems for people on a massive scale, you'll get yours. When you can find a way to be the only one, you will win. [00:07:21] Most podcast interviews are just regurgitating what everybody's saying. When those individuals can honestly look in the mirror and say, I am the number one solution to this real problem, those are people that are winning. It all goes back to that same thing. It's providing the content. [00:09:01] Jenn: I wrote a book called the common path to uncommon success. She says the book lays out 17 steps to financial freedom and fulfillment. The most common step is discovering your niche within your big idea, she says. Jenn: It's an individual journey that everybody must go on. [00:11:26] If you were starting over again in 2023, would you start with podcasting? It wouldn't be a podcast that interviews entrepreneurs because it's just too saturated of a market. I would identify a topic that I'm incredibly passionate about, excited about, enthusiastic about. And then create the best solution. [00:12:32] If you could just do any podcast for fun, what would it be? It would probably be a podcast only focused on sleep. Sleep is the most critical factor to people's health, and this world gets terrible quantity and quality of sleep. [00:15:18] Without consistent quality sleep, there's no way you're going to be able to keep up with the rigors of being an entrepreneur. Stop trying to be a pale, weak imitation of other podcasts and instead find a topic that you are strongly, passionate for. I really hope that people focus on getting some good sleep in 2023.

Attention podcasters who want to repurpose your content! Have you heard the following myths about repurposing your podcast content for YouTube, social media, and other SEO platforms?
Myth #1: It's too time-consuming.
Myth #2: It's not worth the effort.
Myth #3: It will negatively impact your podcast's growth. Well, it's time to put these myths to rest.
Lauren Litt is here to share the truth and show you how repurposing your podcast content can actually help you reach new audiences and grow your brand. Ready to learn more?
If you're feeling frustrated by the lack of interaction and comments on your repurposed podcast content on social media, then you are not alone!
Repurposing Podcast Content for Visual Platforms The process of repurposing podcast content for visual platforms is an essential strategy for podcasters who want to extend the reach of their content and build brand awareness. It allows them to create visually engaging content that can be shared across various platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. This visual content is more likely to capture the attention of users scrolling through their feeds, thus increasing the chances of gaining new listeners.
Claiming the YouTube Podcast Channel Claiming a YouTube channel for a podcast is a valuable opportunity to build an online presence and attract a larger audience. Hosting podcast content on YouTube allows podcasters to capitalize on the platform's vast user base, while also helping to reach a different segment of the audience who may be more inclined to consume content through video. Furthermore, by creating a dedicated YouTube channel for their podcast, podcasters have the chance to interact and engage with their community, increasing overall audience loyalty and retention. Lauren Litt recognizes the importance of having a presence on YouTube and encourages podcasters to establish their podcast channel.
Audiograms and Social Media
Audiograms, or waveform-based graphics showcasing snippets from podcast episodes, were once a popular way for podcasters to promote their content on social media. However, as social media platforms evolve and the attention span of users decreases, audiograms may no longer be as effective at capturing the attention of potential listeners. Podcasters should instead focus on creating innovative and visually engaging content that can stand out in users' feeds and encourage interaction and sharing.

72. Turning a Small Podcast Audience into Big Profits with Ina Coveney
Beyond the Downloads | Podcast & Business Growth
04/18/23 • 40 min
If you're feeling frustrated that your attempts at community building, collaboration, and authenticity have yet to produce the desired results of sustainable growth, then you are not alone!
After three years of trial and error, she finally figured out how to make money in her business - but it came with a hefty debt. She decided to teach others how to get clients, but it was no easy task. What motivates her and will she succeed? Join her on her journey and find out in The Global Phenomenon.
You can start by getting clients. Because the more eyeballs you get into an offer that you know already works, then the more money you're going to make. - Ina Coveney
Community Building
Fostering a sense of community amongst listeners is a vital component to achieving sustainable growth in podcasting. By investing in community-building efforts, podcasters can create a supportive space for like-minded individuals to connect, share insights, and ultimately foster loyalty to the podcast. This, in turn, can lead to increased audience retention, word-of-mouth exposure, and audience growth over time.
Ina highlights the importance of concentrating on the existing audience and building a community around them. In her discussion with Jenn Dragonette, she shares her experience using a Facebook group to create a collaborative environment for podcasters to come together and support each other. Not only does this effort develop a more connected audience, but it also reaffirms Ina's belief that community-building, rather than focusing solely on audience growth, is essential for sustainable success.
Overcoming Fear and Taking Risks
Embracing an experimental mindset and overcoming fear is instrumental to podcasting success. Pushing boundaries and being open to trying out new ideas can lead to innovation and generate interest from listeners, contributing to sustainable growth. However, podcasters must find balance in taking risks and maintaining their core values, ensuring they stay true to their authentic selves and the promise they make to their audience.
She underscores the importance of fearlessly experimenting and taking risks in podcasting. She shares her own experience of finding her voice and discovering that success often comes after several attempts. By sharing her insight and personal journey, Ina encourages podcasters to embrace uncertainty and take on new challenges in their quest for sustainable growth.
Embracing Marketing
Understanding the power of effective marketing is crucial for small podcasters seeking sustainable growth. By sharing valuable content, connecting with the target audience, and promoting products or services, podcasters can build trust with listeners and ultimately convert them into loyal customers. Creating a strong, authentic connection with the audience is vital, as this allows them to feel seen and valued.
With the right marketing strategies in place, podcasters can position themselves as go-to experts in their niche, attracting and retaining listeners who resonate with their message. Ina Coveney emphasizes the significance of being genuine when connecting with the community and marketing one's products or services. She notes that embracing an authentic approach to marketing and talking about one's offerings can be a fun and essential part of the process. This mindset helps create genuine engagement with the community, leading to sustainable growth and improved discoverability.

77. Empower Women, Change the World through Podcasting: The Mission of Empowerography with Brad Walsh
Beyond the Downloads | Podcast & Business Growth
05/11/23 • 34 min
The Empowerography podcast is a movement that has been built on the idea of uplifting and supporting women through sharing their stories. Brad, the boudoir photographer who created this podcast, wanted to create a space where women could share their stories and inspire others. The Empowerography podcast is more than just a podcast; it’s a movement and Brad's purpose for being on this planet.
In this episode, Brad shares some of the key moments he's experienced through the podcast. Initially, Brad reached out to seven or eight friends in the photography and makeup industry to let him interview them, and they agreed to help him get the podcast off the ground. Sadly, he had to shelve the podcast when his photography business picked up traction. However, due to the pandemic, he reignited the idea and began reaching out to women on Instagram to share their stories.
The response to Brad’s request for interviewees was incredible, and he has built a beautiful community through the platform. Brad celebrates three years of the podcast and believes that he has found his purpose in creating this platform and community. The speaker is always looking for inspiring women to feature on their podcasts. They encourage women to get on their platforms and share their stories.
Brad talks about how he's interviewed over 400 women. He pulls inspiration from every one of those stories and has forged relationships and friendships with some of his guests. Helping women to share their stories is one of the best parts of Brad's podcasting journey.
Brad believes that podcasting is not easy, and sometimes it's hard to know if your podcast is reaching anyone. However, getting positive feedback/messages from listeners is a beautiful thing, and it takes a lot of work to build an audience and grow a platform. You have to find your "why," your purpose, and your community to keep going. Patience is key, and it takes time to see results, but it's essential not to give up.
Brad shares the importance of numbers in podcasting, and how consistent listenership is key. Even big-name podcasters must invest in the back-end work to maintain a professional appearance and retain listenership. While over-editing is not necessary, some editing is crucial for a successful podcast.
About Brad
Brad Walsh, is first and foremost, I am a father to two beautiful girls aged 21 and 23, a husband to an amazingly inspiring woman, a photographer, a published #1 International Best Selling Author and a podcast host/producer who found himself wanting to inspire others during the pandemic. He birthed the idea of EMPOWEROGRAPHY as a platform to highlight strong, inspired, and dynamic women to share their stories of success, triumph, resiliency and transformation. He had no idea that what started as a simple concept would take on a life of its own.
Brad is so excited to share this platform with you and continue to EMPOWER, ELEVATE and EDUCATE by amplifying the voices of women all over the world. So please join him in spreading the word about this mission/collective/movement that he is creating to help provide a platform for women to help empower and inspire other women out there in the world.
