Engagement Strategies for Podcasts

How are you engaging with the podcast hosts that you’d love to pitch? Are you a host who struggles with ‘interacting’ with listeners when you’re not on the mic? If so, this episode on engagement strategies for podcasts is for you. 

Kevin Chemidlin has developed a signature approach to growing podcast audiences and…it seems to be working. After growing his first podcast, Philly Who?, to over 100,000 downloads and more than $140k in monetized revenue in 18 months, Kevin took what he learned and started sharing it with other podcasters. 

Now, as the host of the Grow the Show podcast, Kevin helps independent podcasters turn their shows into profitable businesses.

And, although Kevin works primarily with podcast hosts, his approach to engagement strategies is incredibly relevant to podcast guests who’d like to connect with hosts in their niche.

Engagement Strategies for Podcasts with Kevin Chemidlin

Topics covered include:

  • Why Kevin went from software development to a full-time podcaster
  • What he learned from growing the audience for his local-interest podcast and how this applies to podcasts more generally
  • Why having a really narrow idea of the potential audience demographic for a podcast can actually lead to growth
  • Details of Kevin’s signature approach to growth, Targeted Daily Engagement – how it works and some incredible results
  • Coming from the other side, how Targeted Daily Engagement can be used as engagement strategies for podcasts and help podcast guests connect with potential hosts – with suggestions on how to approach hosts
