YouTube is the second most popular search engine in the world, with over 2.1 billion users. As a podcaster, that means TONS of potential for finding new listeners (or watchers) and growing your audience through a video podcast.
Since most of you are recording your podcasts on platforms that also record video (a small upside of the pan-demi is that it has given us more ways and more understanding of how to record remotely) it makes sense when you ask how to grow your podcast, you’ll wonder should you also put your podcast on YouTube?
Being successful on YouTube isn’t as simple as posting just any old thing. In this episode, we’ll discuss the primary questions to consider when deciding whether to put your podcast on YouTube and if you should take the steps to launch a video podcast.
Topics Covered:
Knowing what works and what doesn’t work on YouTubeThe time commitment required to produce a video podcastWhat finances are required to produce a high-quality YouTube podcastFiguring out if you have the energy it takes to be successful in video podcastingBonus Tip!

One of my favorite ways to connect with other podcasters is by attending one of the many podcasting conferences available across the globe. Podcast conferences give creators like you a chance to uplevel your skills, network your way into some guest podcasting opportunities, and meet your fellow podcasters IRL.
2023 is our year to get back to it! With the worst of the pandemic behind us, let’s take this chance to meet up in person. At last! I cannot wait to put a face and a hug to the voice behind some of my favorite shows.
Being a podcaster can be lonely. That’s why we at The Wave are creating LOTS of ways to find community no matter where you are on your podcasting journey, or where you are in the world. From our weekly digital Pomodoro-inspired co-working sessions led by our Community Manager to our free community platform as a place to connect from wherever you have wifi, we have got you covered.

Every podcaster — no matter if you’re just starting out or you’ve been releasing episodes for a while — wants more listeners, right? Yeah, I see you.
First of all, remember that like other digital marketing platforms, quality is always, always, better than quantity.
However! Other than the very validating and very delightful ego boost you get when your listenership grows, there are other benefits too. Like the fact that a large audience will help you attract sponsors, approach podcast networks and ultimately attract more listeners by word of mouth. Seeing a podcast with a huge following tells people there is something worth their time at the other end of the follow, subscribe or push of the play button.
But how do you get there before you are — there? How do you build your podcast audience in an ongoing way? We'll discuss the answer in this episode.
Topics Covered:
Engaged listeners can help your show through word of mouthUse the live feature on your favorite social media to connect with your audienceBuild a community that will allow for a two-way conversation between you and your listenersDon't leave your listeners on read when they reach out in the DMsBonus: feature listeners on your episodes with shout outsResources Mentioned:

As a prospective podcaster, you might feel stuck knowing that you don’t have an existing brand or identity to build your show’s concept around. But what if I told you, you could use your podcast to establish a brand for yourself as an expert or personality in your niche? It’s true! Naturally, the next question is how?
There are a ton of ways that podcasting can help with personal branding. Generating original unique content on a regular basis establishes expertise, and using your voice helps people connect to you in a highly personal way.
The average time that people spend listening to an episode is much longer than the time they spend consuming other digital marketing content, such as Instagram posts and blog posts. Let them get to know you and your brand while they run errands or cook dinner. They’re welcoming you into their lives, so make it count and keep them comin’ back for a brand they love and will come to expect.
Podcasts are great tools for helping individuals get to know you and your existing brand. But having a podcast doesn’t guarantee that your brand will solidify and gain traction. If you are using your podcast to build a brand, consider the tips from this episode.

Niching down helps you find your biggest fansVisual identity is an important part of brand buildingKnowing your differentiating factor will help you stand out from the crowdBONUS: Use this competitive analysis and our accompanying video to find your "it" factorResources Mentioned:

Helping female podcasters start a podcast is something we at The Wave love to do — among all of our other amazing podcast-related skills, thank you very much! One of the most common questions we get asked is, “how much does having a podcast cost?”
Sorry to say it isn’t as simple as giving you an exact figure, however, in this week’s episode, I am going to break down things more clearly into three categories:
things you absolutely should spend money onthings you don’t need to open your wallet for unless you want toand where to save big.You will leave with the knowledge required to create an incredible podcast on your own budget. And be sure to stick around to the end of this episode, where I will share an insider offer just for our pod pals that will save you even more money starting your pod.
Understanding the true costs and cost range of starting a podcast can be confusing. With so much information out there and so many people with podcasts ranging from your neighbor Dale recording from his studio apartment all the way to celebrities building a whole other building off the side of their house just for their podcast, it is hard to know just where we sit on that scale.
I know it can be tempting to want to know how to start a podcast for free, but if it were that simple, you wouldn’t be here listening to this episode right now.

Are you wanting to grow your podcast listenership and reach, but there is so much conflicting “expert” information out there it feels overwhelming to know what to trust? Are you unsure where to focus your time and energy on how to grow a podcast?
A few weeks ago, we at The Wave had our first community event for 2022. Exciting!
Side note, there are plenty more events coming your way, so make sure to check out the links in the show notes to join our discord community for more information.
Today I am going to summarize the event for you, breaking it down into bite-sized pieces. For those of you who bought tickets to this event, we sent out a replay for you, so check your inbox to get Jeremy’s wisdom all over again. If you didn’t make our event, that’s okay! You can still develop those high-growth habits with Jeremy at his FREE upcoming workshop, so stay tuned for more info on how to access that event!
Jeremy and I agree that podcasting is better than most mediums at some things, such as building trust, having nuanced conversations, and getting really in-depth with people. But there are some things that podcasting isn't great at, like sparking engagement, your discovery, and shareability. Instead, you need to use tools that are built for this alongside the podcast itself. In order to make the most of these other platforms, we have to spend our time on marketing activities that fill in the gaps. There are small things we can do on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis that helps us contribute to those components and help our show be successful.
That’s where Jeremy presents the three C’s:

There is one thing that I believe can truly be a make or break, and I recommend it to every single one of my clients. Folks, you have to have a website for your podcast. Whether you are using your podcast to promote your existing company or to help you build a new brand — a website is the key to success.
You may already have a website for the company or brand you’re growing, and that’s perfectly fine. You can create a podcast tab within that website and reap the same benefits. And you should! But if you don’t have an existing website, then your show needs its own site. Either way, consider this site your listener’s one-stop shop and a place that you shouldn’t wait for a huge following to create but rather as leverage to help you create that larger listenership.
So why a podcast website over all the other ready-to-go options that I could use for sharing content? Because as you will hear me say many times, podcasts are, unfortunately, hard to discover. The directories used to distribute podcasts, like Apple and Spotify, are not good at helping new listeners find shows, especially indie shows.
There are a number of platforms that are good at helping people find the content they are looking for. You’ve probably heard me talk about them before — they are Pinterest, YouTube, and of course, Google — and in order to be discovered by Google, you need a website. It’s that simple. So how do you create a website that Google likes and shows to prospective listeners in search of a new show? I’ve got all the tips.
Topics Covered:
How a website can help increase your discoverabilityWhere to go when building a website from scratch The trick to organizing your website to maximize search engine optimizationWhy every episode should have a transcriptWork with our vetting website design agency, Tart, to get the perfect podcast website created for you by an expertSign Up Now

You’ve likely heard ads on podcasts and assume that’s the best way to make money podcasting. You might have also heard them and stopped there as you’re unsure how to monetize a podcast and convinced your reach isn’t big enough to attract advertisers. Heck, even if you have those kinds of numbers, you still might feel stuck. I’m here to un-stick you — providing you with an accessible-to-all-podcast-sizes option you might not be in the know of to help you monetize a podcast through ads.
Podcasting takes a lot of work, and pod babes deserve to make money from their podcasts. Getting advertisers to pay you for reading out ads is generally reserved for shows with tens of thousands of downloads. There is, however, another way to get companies to pay you for promoting their products, and it’s accessible to podcasts of every size. It’s called affiliate marketing.
Who is she? You ask. Is she right for me? Are we going to be good together?
Sit down, relax, let me introduce you. You’re going to get along great.

Have you ever wondered what it might look like if you were added to the slate of a podcast network and slapped that seal of legit to your show? In this episode, I’m going to take you through exactly what a podcast network is and the pros and cons of joining one.
As a podcaster, you’ve likely worried you’re lost in the sea. But did you know that if you’ve released more than twenty episodes, you’re in the top 1% of podcasts in the world? So you’ve passed that magic number of twenty, you have a loyal audience, your brand is established… what could possibly be missing? Maybe you just can’t help but *wonder* what it might look like if you were added to the slate of a podcast network.
What is a podcast network? Simply put, it’s what we in the biz refer to as a “slate” of shows. These shows are selected and represented by one company who is curating their dream team.
I’ll help you decide if you’re ready to take that next step and if you have what they’re looking for. Make sure you stick around until the end of this episode for the insider list of our favorite female-centric podcast networks.

But before we get started, you knew this was coming - I am not a lawyer. I am a podcast expert though, and I’m also really committed to making sure you succeed. So I am going to share what I know about legal protection based on my research and experience, however, if you need more in-depth, official information, I want you to contact a lawyer who specializes in these areas.

I know there are lots of ways to grow a podcast following, but if I had to pick one, it would be to be a guest on other podcasts. This is kind of like what guest blogging was in 2008. Regardless of whether your podcast has 5 or 500 episodes, guesting on another podcast is going to further the awareness of your show and… bonus! You’re going to have a great time doing it.
In this episode, I will share my step-by-step know-how on landing the podcast guest spot of your dreams, including what I consider the move that promises me an enthusiastic yes to my “may I be on your podcast?” requests — my extra bonus tip awaits you at the end of this ep. Don’t miss it!
By jumping onto the right pod, you’re automatically borrowing an existing audience and welcoming a whole new group of people at once. Plus, this community already listens to podcasts, obviously, so there is no learning curve or gentle training to try and get them onboard a new-to-them platform. No time for hand-holding and no need!
Additionally, getting your new built-in audience to act in as few clicks as possible is going to be the best way to make a new subscription actually happen. The app is open in their hands so you’ve significantly lowered your barrier to a new listener subscribing.
Now I know you’re sitting there saying “okay I know how effective this is to grow my podcast audience, Lauren. But now tell me how to get booked as a podcast guest, pleeeaaase.” We tell you everything you need to know about securing yourself as a guest on other podcasts in this episode. Listen now!

You may have seen the headlines recently that read something like this “The Demise of the Girlboss” or “The Girlboss is Dead.” As the founder of a company that supports female podcasters, I can’t help but think, where does this leave me? Am I creating more division through my exclusion of men? Am I isolating women who feel more supported by a community that embraces dualities instead of rejects them? The answer is … maybe.
It’s hard not to look at the data around women in positions of power and not wonder if there is a connection between speaking up and influence. Women earn more bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in the U.S. than men, but globally, women hold just 24% of senior leadership positions. Even though more women are working than ever before and represent 45% of the S&P 500 workforce, only 4% of the CEOs of these companies are women. We’re here - showing up with the know-how and desire to work hard, but collectively, women can not seem to break into the positions that actually hold power and influence.
If podcasting was helping me build my confidence, why couldn’t it help the millions of other women who claim to fear speaking? Could I attempt to move the needle in one small way and help women use their voices to create more influence for themselves? With the right tools, support, and community, could we diversify the voices that we hear in our media every day? As you might have guessed, that’s how The Wave was born.
