Tip #3 - Promote your podcast on social media & other channels
Using social media platforms will help you reach a wider audience. Post audio & video clips, highlight reels, guest promo flyers & episode recaps to keep your audience engaged. Share your podcast on your website and email newsletters.

Stop Overthinking & Get Started!
Podcasting is a fantastic way for businesses to reach their audience, with the potential of millions of people tuning in each day. Consistency is key! Set a regular release schedule and stick to it.
