What’s up, community? We just released the latest episode of our podcast and would love for you to give all six hours of it a listen. And, when you’re done enjoying our discussion of geopolitics, Caribbean-Polish fusion cuisine, and pickleball-paddle craftsmanship, please like, share, and subscribe!
Honestly, though, with all the noise on the internet, your liking, sharing, and subscribing might not be enough to garner the engagement we’re looking for. We’re trying to capture the hearts and minds of every citizen of the cyberworld and beyond. We wouldn’t hate some brand deals, either. Which is why we’ve listed a few other things you could do to help grow our podcast’s audience, if you don’t mind.
Rate and Review It
Get on Google, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and Yelp to rate and review our podcast. We need five stars, even if you feel like it’s more of a two-star product. Don’t hold back on the glowing compliments—on the internet, nobody knows you’re a liar.
Post Flyers at Local Coffee Shops
That café in which you take Zoom calls twice a week? Stick a few flyers promoting our podcast onto their bulletin board. They have a printer, right? Use their printer to print the flyers. Use their Wi-Fi to design the flyers on Canva. Episode 3 of our podcast has a flyer-tutorial segment in its fourth hour.
Play It on Public Transportation
We’d love it if you took a Bluetooth speaker on the train and played our latest episode at full volume. After about two stops, we’re pretty sure that some commuter will ask, “What’s that podcast called?” Tell them the name, our Instagram handle, and the URL for our branded-swag Custom Ink shop.
Make Spam Calls
When you have a second, if you could just cold-call ten random people and ask them to listen to our podcast, that would be amazing. The time of day doesn’t matter, but late evening is when most people are home and able to answer the phone. Don’t be afraid to leave a voice mail. Texting as a follow-up would be great—that way you can send them the link to our clips.
Share a Testimony at Your Church
The next time you’re at church and the pastor opens the floor for people to come up and testify, why not use that opportunity to promote our podcast. Explain to the congregation how our podcast impacted your faith and saved your life. If they love Jesus, they’ll love our podcast. Just tell them to trust you like they trust God.
Name Your Children After It
How special would it be if you named your newborn after our podcast? If you did, we’d definitely give you a shout-out on Patreon (hopefully, you’re a paid subscriber). We specifically made the podcast title short enough for it to be a cute middle name, at the very least. Unfortunately, my wife won’t let me name our future daughter after our streaming content, but that shouldn’t stop you!
Disrupt a Widely Watched Sports Event
A small percentage of our listeners love sports. It would be amazing if you bought tickets to a game, preferably the Super Bowl, and ran onto the field with the podcast title painted across your chest. The world is going to see those words glistening on your torso and have no choice but to Google them. While you’re in jail overnight, contemplate all the new clicks you helped us get!
Pay Our L.L.C. Taxes
Operating a limited-liability company is tough. That’s why we need your help to cover our taxes (we owe, big time). A little bit goes a long way. And a lot keeps us out of bankruptcy. ♦
