How To Drive Sales From Your Podcast

Today, we’re going to talk about how to drive sales with your business podcast. Audio and podcasting have been a hot trend for a while and the popularity is only continuing to grow. Having a business podcast can have some major benefits for your brand. In this episode, Tyler and Michael discuss 3 major keys to podcast distribution: streaming presence, getting a podcast website or dedicated page, and posting consistency.

We discuss:

#1 benefit to podcasts: discoverability
- Get found easier on social media and in search engines
Create content that is valuable to your customers (What are they searching for?)
3 keys to podcast distribution:
- Get your podcast on the right networks (and as many as possible)
  - Big networks you want to be on: iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, Google Podcasts, YouTube, Stitcher, etc.
- Create a podcast website or add to your own website
  - Houses all of your episodes
  - You can have written summaries or transcripts, links, subscribe buttons, etc.
  - The website will also display in search engines
  - Grow an audience by sharing website links on social media
  - If you have a separate website, you can track who is visiting and listening better than if you had a page on your current website
- Be consistent to gain traction and popularity
  - Post on a consistent schedule
    - Ex. posting weekly at the same time
  - Listeners will start to expect your content based on the schedule you’ve set
  - Publishing episodes periodically or whenever you feel like will ultimately lead to the podcast being a failure and a waste of your time
  - The consistency will build brand credibility, too
