Show Notes
What happens when a "Podcast Promoter" reaches out to a 20+ year podcasting veteran? That's what we're talking about today.
A "Podcast Promotion" offer landed in the inbox of my friend, Mike Wilkerson of the 2GuysTalking podcast network. I'll walk through the language, the repetition, and the red flags - especially the promises with no evidence of audience fit or long-term impact.
If you've been wondering why offers like these often signal artificial download inflation rather than real listener growth, you'll want to hear this. And, in typical Mike fashion, he had a candid response, pushing back on the vague claims and questionable value.
If that isn't enough, I also have an update on the service I mentioned in a previous episode and my efforts to test that service. Look for more updates in the future.
