Ever wonder why some podcasters get zero results from their content… while others effortlessly turn listeners into paying customers? This one thing increases your chances significantly! Today we sit down with the legendary Alex Sanfilippo to crack the code on podcast calls-to-action that actually convert. This session was streamed during Podcasting Made simple (a Podmatch event) in front of more than 1,000 people and the feedback was incredible! We are very grateful that Alex and their team are letting us share this private episode :) We're pulling back the curtain on: - The “Six Steps” that make ANY CTA irresistible (not just for podcasts!) - Wild case studies and real-life mistakes most hosts and guests make (and how to avoid them) - The power of keeping it simple, specific, AND sticky - The surprising thing you should NOT ask for at the end of your episode - Why Fonzi believes “short and sticky” wins every time (and what on earth Taylor Swift has to do with podcasting…) Whether you're struggling to convert listeners or just want to refine your strategy, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you drive traffic, grow your audience, and monetize your content effectively! Enjoy! Timestamped Overview: [00:00] Alex intros the special PodMatch Event and sets the stage for discussing powerful podcast CTAs. [02:30] Luis & Fonzi join in — sharing background on how this framework was developed and why most CTAs fail. [04:30] Why “no results” from podcasting usually isn't a content problem — it's a CTA problem. [06:10] Step 0: Develop Know, Like & Trust on the episode — give away real value, don't hold back. [10:15] Step 1: Keep your CTA singular — don't overwhelm your listeners with too many options. [11:35] Step 2: Make it relevant — your CTA must match the content of the episode. [13:40] Step 3: Ensure it's evergreen — so it doesn't expire or confuse future listeners. [17:05] Step 4: Keep it simple to understand — clarity > cleverness. Use “It's like…” analogies. [20:30] Step 5: Make it easy to follow — sticky domains, memorable URLs, or SMS options. [23:55] Test creative ideas: surprise CTAs at the end of episodes, gamification, secret codes. [25:00] Sticky examples: funny URLs, dynamic insertion intros, and Taylor Swift-style rollouts (!). [27:20] Step 6: CTA destination should add value immediately — don't gate everything behind an opt-in. [30:45] Optimize the experience post-CTA: what happens after someone clicks matters. [33:30] Every CTA should reflect your business stage and goals — make it strategic. [34:10] The Biz Bros share details on launching their new community: BusinessCreator.Club.

Today we are bringing you something special! A behind the scenes look atone of the businesscreator.club office hours. We had a high-impact discussion on moving from one-on-one sales to scalable one-to-many models with content. We answered questions about launching podcasts, repurposing content, and growing a valuable network. We also discussed how to leverage collaborations to build authority and boost sales. Here are some of the top moments. 1. Validated the Interview Model as a Sales Engine - The interview model is still viable—when done strategically. Use it to build real relationships and create opportunities for collaboration and sales. 2. Leveraged “Ladder of Influence” Framework - Target guests based on tiers (C → B → A). Start with peers and move up by leveraging each guest's network. 3. Created the “Fastest Path to Cash” Flow - Focus first on direct relationships (the guest) and convert them or collaborate with them to reach their audience. This is quicker than cold ads or SEO. 4. Clarified the Expert Positioning in Interviews - Shift from “reporter” to “collaborator” by injecting your own insights in interviews. This positions you as an expert too. 5. Set the Playbook for Growth via Ask Framework - After every interview, ask these 3 things to ensure a constant flow of leads and opportunities.

If you have tuned into the Content Is Profit Podcast you'll know how podcasting changed our business. And I'm sure in a few years we'll say it changed our lives. Podcasting has changed Jeremy's life as well.

Our entrepreneurial journey started with one goal: freedom. But the path is confusing and full of obstacles. The closest you can get to a “manual to freedom” would be mentorship.

As business owners and content creators, we are constantly searching for the next best product we can deliver, the best episode we can provide, the best video, the best service... This puts us in overdrive when we try to create, and if we do not have a structure to follow we often fall into "overworked" mode and projects do not come to fruition. This simple equation simplified the entire process and helped us (and our team) start to dream way bigger. The possibilities opened up, and now we see opportunity everywhere because we are not worried about not being able to create. Here is the fail-proof equation you can use. Hope this helps you as well!

Travis allowed us to publish this uncut interview here on our feed, so extremely grateful to have that opportunity. Please go ahead and support his show as well.
