Indie podcasters often struggle with marketing their shows, but Danielle Clark from the No More Late Fees podcast shares her expertise to help guide them to success. Danielle and her co-host Jackie draw on their experiences working at Blockbuster in the 90s to create engaging content. To effectively market a podcast, focus on identifying and leveraging its unique aspects, targeting the core audience, and delivering tailored content. Being selective about guests and staying true to the show's identity is crucial. Growing a podcast community involves claiming consistent show names across platforms, crafting informative bios, and having a polished logo. Adapting content for visual social media platforms requires creativity, such as using audio clips, visuals, and carousels. Building an email list is essential to maintain audience connection. Engaging authentically with listeners and avoiding spammy tactics is key to growth. Various strategies like review swaps, submitting to Apple, and conducting listener surveys can also help expand the audience.
