And now, this week's episode.

(upbeat music)

Speaker: 00:00:22

Last week, I published the first episode

Speaker: 00:00:26

of a brand new podcast.

Speaker: 00:00:27

As part of the run-up to that,

Speaker: 00:00:29

I shared the upcoming publish info with various industry newsletters

Speaker: 00:00:32

and asked if they'd be willing to share with their readers.

Speaker: 00:00:34

As a result, the first episode received over a thousand listeners on day one,

Speaker: 00:00:38

many of which came from these newsletters.

Speaker: 00:00:40

This is why I always recommend sharing key news around your podcast with industry newsletters.

Speaker: 00:00:45

Their readers and subscribers are already invested in the podcasting space,

Speaker: 00:00:48

so are more open to finding out more about you and your show.

Speaker: 00:00:51

Some key reminders though.

Speaker: 00:00:53

It helps to be an existing subscriber to the newsletter

Speaker: 00:00:56

to show you're already invested in what they're doing.

Speaker: 00:00:58

Make it as easy as possible for them to include

Speaker: 00:01:00

by providing soundbites and quotes or takeaways

Speaker: 00:01:02

that they can share.

Speaker: 00:01:04

And acknowledge any inclusion you do receive,

Speaker: 00:01:06

including a shout out on your next episode,

Speaker: 00:01:08

to share your appreciation.

Speaker: 00:01:10

Growing a podcast can be hard,

Speaker: 00:01:12

but there are a lot of ways to make that job

Speaker: 00:01:13

at least a little easier.

Speaker: 00:01:15

It's up to you to make sure you're using them effectively.

Speaker: 00:01:18

Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Speaker: 00:01:20

Speaker: 00:01:23

Thanks for listening.
