Podcasting 202: Marketing Your Show

So, your podcast is awesome. But there are more than 2 million podcasts and 48 million episodes today. Your show needs to stand out amongst the rest. In this course, I’ll share my tips and tricks for getting your show out to the world. We’ll discuss getting featured on Apple Podcasts, pitching your show for in-app placement, using social media to effectively market and reach potential listeners, pitching to blogs and for editorial placement, and how you can get mentioned in podcast newsletters. We’ll also cover monetization and cross-promotional efforts you can take advantage of as a creator.
