Who do you think about more? Your current audience, listeners that have already found you and love you and consider themselves part of your community or new listeners, someone that might be searching for a certain topic or just something to listen to and they find you and become a part of your audience.As podcasters it can be really easy to get caught up in making content for one of the two. For most of us, I’d say we focus mostly on the community we already have and there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, as a podcast producer I’d say that focusing on your current audience is one of the best things you can do for the stability and success of your podcast. However, and there’s always a however lurking around, you have to keep in mind your next listeners. You always need to be carving out a part of your podcast and brand and business that’s focused on finding the next audience you’ll have, because if you’re not getting that new listener another podcast is and they’ll be the ones that get the opportunities we’re working towards.So in this episode we’re going to talk about producing podcast episodes that get shared, even by strangers. Why it’s so important that your community and listeners outside of your community are talking about and sharing your podcast, how organic growth will impact your podcast’s bottom line and what kind of episodes get shared. ⭐️ Listen to Episode 52: Your Podcast Has a Brand (Whether Your Realize it or Not!) 👋🏼 Want to sell a digital product but you don't know what to make?Use my free tool that sends you 10 ideas made for YOUR podcast:https://form.jotform.com/Morgan_Franklin/podcast-digital-product📌 Book Your 1:1 Podcast Strategy Call:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklin👩🏻‍💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here:https://morganfranklin.media/podschool-steal-my-4-favorite-chatgpt-prompts-for-podcasting✨ Let's connect!

There’s a fine line in podcasting. There’s a fine line between being yourself and sharing too much. There’s a fine line between knowing your audience and completely forgetting who this show was created for. There’s a fine line between selling and completely sabotaging your business.In this episode we’re going to talk about the invisible funnel, and how your podcast should be driving sales in your business, red flags you might be doing more harm than good with your content and the easy fixes that will help you transform your audience into your most loyal buyers. 👋🏼 Want to sell a digital product but you don't know what to make?Use my free tool that sends you 10 ideas made for YOUR podcast:https://form.jotform.com/Morgan_Franklin/podcast-digital-product📌 Book Your 1:1 Podcast Strategy Call:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklin👩🏻‍💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here:https://morganfranklin.media/podschool-steal-my-4-favorite-chatgpt-prompts-for-podcasting✨ Let's connect!

As podcasters we kind of have to be obsessed with what’s next. It’s way too easy to get stuck in the churn of what’s happening right now, and we have to focus on the next big guest, your next recording date, that next launch and the product you’ll have next year. That’s part of being a podcaster and business owner and being a high achiever. You always have to be looking around corners and figuring out what’s next before your competition does. It can be really hard to get out of this mindset, because it’s so critical to the success of most parts of our lives, but for most podcasters I know, that’s distracting you from the treasure trove of what you’ve already created.In this episode we’re talking about why your back catalog matters, organizing your archive, repurposing, and how to effectively market your past episodes for the future growth of your podcast. 👋🏼 Want to sell a digital product but you don't know what to make?Use my free tool that sends you 10 ideas made for YOUR podcast:https://form.jotform.com/Morgan_Franklin/podcast-digital-product📌 Book Your 1:1 Podcast Strategy Call:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklin👩🏻‍💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here:https://morganfranklin.media/podschool-steal-my-4-favorite-chatgpt-prompts-for-podcasting✨ Let's connect!

✨ChatGPT✨ it’s magical, it’s mystical and it really is amazing, mostly because it does all the stuff we don’t want to do. It might also be ruining your podcast. This episode is so contradictory to most of what I teach you about incorporating AI into your podcast workflow, but I’m seeing way too many podcasters destroying their podcasts with ChatGPT and before it goes on any further let’s have a candid conversation about what you should actually be using automation and large language models to do in you podcast and what’s total garbage slop that’s going to drive away your audience and future listeners.In this episode: How ChatGPT is driving away your listener before they can even click play, signs AI might be tanking your podcast and what you should be using automations to do in your podcast. 🗣️ Want to learn how to use ChatGPT in a way that won't end your podcasting career?

Last year I had over 500,000 viewers without a dollar in paid promotion from one social media - Pinterest. After Google, Pinterest brings the most traffic to my website and podcast episodes, with the average visitor spending about 23 minutes looking at past episodes. In this episode we’ll talk about why Pinterest is the best place to grow your podcast audience, how to properly market your podcast on Pinterest, and what you can do to incorporate Pinterest into your podcast workflow without feeling overwhelmed.Why does Pinterest work? I think a lot of people think about Pinterest as the place where you plan a wedding, or save ideas for remodeling your kitchen, but the reality is pinterest has 553 million monthly active users and reaches 40% of US households with an annual income over $150K. I don’t know about you, but as a business owner, who uses their podcast to grow their business, those are the kind of stats I want to hear.Follow me on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/morganfranklinmedia/📌 Book Your 1:1 Podcast Strategy Call:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklin👩🏻‍💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here:https://morganfranklin.media/podschool-steal-my-4-favorite-chatgpt-prompts-for-podcasting/👋🏽 Let's connect!

I’m going to say something and you might not agree with me, but in my experience this is the truth: marketing a podcast is harder than having a podcast. Finding the right people that should be listening to your podcast and reminding them every week to listen to your podcast is actually harder than making the podcast itself and that’s not easy. In this episode we’re going to talk about why your podcast marketing isn’t working, what you can do to improve and how we can make small changes to start rebuilding our listener base and engaging with our existing audience. 📌 Book Your 1:1 Coaching Session:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklin👩🏻‍💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here:https://morganfranklin.media/podschool-steal-my-4-favorite-chatgpt-prompts-for-podcasting/👋🏽 Let's connect!

One of my favorite parts of working in podcasting and being a podcaster is hearing people’s podcast suggestions and learning about new podcasts. Is there anything better than finding an amazing podcast with hundreds of episodes to completely obsess over and listen to day and night and ask every person you see if they’ve listened to it? I don’t think so. This week’s episode is different from my normal lesson based episodes, but I thought since it’s Christmas and the end of the year it’s a perfect time to let loose and talk about podcasting and all the podcasts I’ve loved in 2024.Links in this Episode: 1.

This isn't a political episode - it's an episode about politics.In the 2024 United States Presidential Election a powerful campaigning tool was unleashed on voters and pundits alike: podcasts. 🤭In the age of 15-second videos it might be hard to believe that 3 hour podcasts and other multi-hour media shaped this election, but it did. In this episode we’re going to dissect the use of podcasts by both candidates, talk about what worked, what didn’t, and how we can use the lessons of both campaigns to grow our own podcasts and shape our brands through podcasting.Please Note: I did my best to provide this information in as unbiased and fair a way possible, not only am I a volunteer election worker, but I’m someone that believes in the will of the American people, and the privilege of democracy. This episode was not an attempt to be political or make a political statement, just the observations of a podcaster trying their best to make sense of politics and the business of campaigning. 😀📌 Work with Me 1:1 for Podcast Coaching and Development:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklinhttps://morganfranklin.media/contact📌 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com/👋🏽 Let's connect!
