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.
