"How in the world does a podcast review giveaway work?" A question I get asked all the time by my students and members of our community. And to be honest, I had the exact same question too. "How does it all work?"
So, I went into "Dr. Podcast" mode and started creating a scientific experiment. (I know, I get geekier by the second, but hear me out!) I wanted to see what happens when an influx of reviews comes to my show. I also wanted to share with podcasters that reviews can mean so much more than just a bump in the charts.
In today's episode, I'm breaking down my thought process behind running the giveaway, practical setup tips if you thinking this is the right move for your podcast, and sharing some of the things I've already learned.
We'll also be doing a few debrief pieces of content once our podcast review giveaway -- that we're right in the middle of -- is finished. So get out your notebooks and get ready to take some notes listening to today's episode.
