Today on GTS we are going to make a bold claim: There is only one way to successfully monetize your show.

That's it. Just one.

It probably sounds crazy.

Heck, if I were you, I would think I sounded crazy.

Don't just take it from me, however.

Take it from hall-of-fame podcaster Dave Jackson. Dave is the founder of The School of Podcasting, he has been in the industry for over a decade, and this week, he joined me on Grow The Show to talk all about monetization.

He explained that there really is just one way to profit from your podcast.

After listening to the episode you'll know exactly what that is, and how you can start doing it TODAY.

Let's be honest. Using Social media effectively as a podcast is HARD. For something that is SUPPOSED to be secondary and complimentary to your podcast, it oftentimes eats up all of your time and attention!

So, what are you supposed to do? How can you leverage social media to ENHANCE your podcast, and connect with your audience, WITHOUT having it suck up your time and destroy sanity?

Today on Grow The Show, we are talking about what NOT to do on social media. To help us do this, we've invited Arielle Nissenblatt onto the show to share her wisdom.

Arielle is the creator of the Earbuds Podcast Collective, the community manager at Squadcast, the cohost of the Sounds Profitable Ad Tech Applied Podcast, and a well-known podcast influencer. Today, Arielle is going to share how social media has carried her to podcast success.

You'll learn how a lot of that success comes from what she DOESN'T do on social media, how those things are what most podcasters are doing, and how you can stop doing those things and start doing the RIGHT things, right now.

Can you grow your podcast audience on TikTok? Should you be spending more time on TikTok producing than you are today? Can you even grow a presence on TikTok if you aren't a Gen-Zer who loves to dance?

This week's Grow The Show podcast guest is going to answer these questions and more.

Her name is Cara Newhart, and she's the designer and DIYer behind the Never Skip Brunch blog and the Make Space podcast.

You can say that Cara's a bit of an expert on social media and short-form video— she had over 150,000 Instagram followers and over 450,000 TikTok followers at the time of this recording.

Today, Cara is going to map out the dos and don'ts of TikTok.

She's going to dive into exactly what makes a viral video pop, and she's gonna share how you can start making short-form videos that grow your podcast audience today.

Are you using Facebook ads to grow your podcast? Should you be using Facebook ads to grow your podcast?

To do that, we’re going to be joined by Marie Nicola, a member of the Grow The Show community. Marie is a career online marketer and podcaster, who has achieved massive viral reach for her marketing clients, and who is about to help you do the same.

So if you're looking to add Facebook ads to your toolbox of audience growth levers, join us for this week’s episode of Grow The Show.
