About this episode
If you’ve ever wondered what podcast marketing actually looks like when it’s driving real revenue in a business, this episode is a behind-the-scenes breakdown of my latest launch. I recently opened enrollment for my high-touch program Podcasts That Convert, and the entire launch was powered almost entirely by podcast marketing instead of social media.In this episode, I’m sharing the real story of the launch—the good, the bad, and what surprised me most. I walk through how I structured a podcast-driven launch using a strategic podcast drip campaign that warmed up my audience before the offer opened. Instead of relying on Instagram or constant posting, I focused on using my show as the core of my podcast marketing strategy.The result? The program sold out before the cart even closed.I’m breaking down exactly what I did, how the podcast fed the launch, and how this approach fits into a bigger evergreen marketing system for business owners. When used intentionally, a podcast can become part of your customer acquisition funnel, helping you build authority, attract the right listeners, and grow your business over time.Of course, launches are never perfect. I’m also sharing what didn’t go according to plan and what I learned from running a bootcamp-style launch in today’s online business environment. After this experience, I’m reflecting on whether live bootcamps are something I’ll continue using in the future or if there are more effective ways to structure launches going forward.If you run a podcast—or you’re thinking about using one as part of your business—this episode will give you a practical look at how podcast marketing can support launches, generate leads, and help create online income without relying on social media.And if you’re listening and realizing your show doesn’t yet have a clear strategy behind it, that’s exactly what I help entrepreneurs build.I offer a Podcast Growth Strategy, where I create a customized roadmap so every episode works as part of a larger podcast marketing strategy designed to grow your podcast and turn listeners into clients.Learn more here: https://janditchfield.co/growIn this episode you’ll learn:• The real results from my latest launch of Podcasts That Convert • How I structured a podcast-driven launch without social media • What worked, what didn’t, and what surprised me • How podcast marketing can support a launch strategy • My honest thoughts about bootcamps and future launchesIf you want to grow your podcast, build an evergreen marketing engine, and turn your show into part of your customer acquisition funnel, this episode will give you a candid look behind the curtain.*************************************Listen to this episode if you want to learn how to use podcast marketing to support a launch, how to grow your podcast without relying on social media, how evergreen marketing strategies can create consistent business income, and how a podcast can function as part of your customer acquisition funnel.
