Marketing your podcast is not about posting audiograms on Instagram and hoping someone clicks. If you’ve been told that social media is the only way to grow your show, this episode is going to shift how you think about online visibility entirely. Because marketing your podcast the right way has far less to do with constant promotion — and far more to do with intentional strategy before you ever hit record.

In this episode, I walk you through the five things I do on repeat when I want my episodes to get discovered by ideal clients. And here’s the part most people miss: marketing your podcast starts long before you publish. It starts with choosing a target keyword before you record a single word. It continues with writing long-form show notes that are structured for search. And it requires understanding that podcast marketing is about discoverability, not just distribution.

For years, I made the same mistakes most podcasters make. I focused on creating great content and assumed that was enough. I promoted on social media. I relied on bursts of attention. And I couldn’t understand why my show wasn’t being surfaced to new listeners consistently. The issue wasn’t the content. It was the lack of SEO and algorithm awareness.

If you want to grow your online business and make money online using your show, you need more than good episodes. You need structure. That includes intentionally using multiple supporting keywords inside your show notes, making them at least 2,000 characters long so search engines understand what your content is about, and adding strategic tags inside your host settings every single time you publish.

We also talk about something most creators ignore: consistency signals. Publishing at the exact same time every single week tells the algorithm your show is reliable. Algorithms reward reliability. And when you combine that with strong keyword positioning, your online visibility compounds over time.

This episode is especially important if you want to start a podcast for business or you’re serious about monetizing your podcast. Because marketing online through a podcast is one of the few strategies where the algorithm is actually friendly — if you understand how it works.

You do not have to depend on social media to grow your show. In fact, if you master podcast marketing through SEO, search intent, and positioning, your show can become discoverable long after the episode is published.

Inside my free bootcamp, I go much deeper into this exact strategy — how to design a podcast that supports monetizing your podcast, drives conversions, and builds real online visibility without constant promotion.

If you’ve been thinking marketing your podcast means more posting, this episode will show you why it’s actually about smarter positioning.

Press play, take notes, and let’s make your podcast easier to find — and easier to monetize.

Take what you need, and go run your damn business.
