  • Don't Buy Fake Podcast Reviews! Building Authenticity for Your Podcast and YouTube Channel

    Podcast reviews and ratings are well-known ways for new shows to gain credibility and attract new listeners. While fake reviews may seem like a tempting shortcut, they can harm your show's reputation.  Fake reviews and ratings are a problem on many platforms, including podcasting and YouTube. They mislead listeners, damage trust in all reviews, and harm honest creators.  By focusing on strategies to encourage genuine listener feedback, you can combat the negative impacts of industry-wide fake reviews, setting your show apart, and build a loyal audience for both your podcast and YouTube content. 

    Join our live coaching session Wednesday at noon PT for practical advice from our experience launching over 1300 podcasts and videocasts.
