If you're tired of posting content to social media trying to grow your podcast only to get four likes and no new downloads—the problem isn't the algorithm. The problem is that you're expecting social to drive podcast growth instead of letting your podcast drive your social strategy.That's because social isn't where people go to discover your podcast. It's where they decide if they trust you enough to listen to your show in the first place. That's why in this episode, I'll show you how to reverse-engineer your social media strategy, using your podcast as the engine behind scroll-stopping short-form content that builds trust, keeps you visible, and shortens the path to sales. So if you're ready to build an online presence that reinforces your podcast *and* the bigger message you're here to share, hit play and let's dive in. 1:12 – Why Your Podcast Clips Get Ignored (Even When the Episode's Good) 4:05 – Why Likes Won't Always Lead to New Listeners6:20 – How to Turn One Episode Into 5 Posts That Build Trust15:48 – The One Thing Every Social Post Needs to Drive Clicks to Your Podcast18:10 – What Connor Price Gets Right About Content that ConvertsEpisode Links:@ConnorPriceOther Episodes You'll Love:Why Content Repurposing Doesn't Work—and What to Do InsteadHow Much Should You Actually Teach Inside Your Podcast Episodes?→ This episode was recorded on the Deity VO-7USupport the showLiked this episode?

How can reflecting on your podcast journey spark delight in your success? The process of podcasting is serious business. You have to be laser-focused on all the pieces of the spiral—from brainstorming topics to marketing the published episode to starting the next one—and sometimes the subject matter gets dark, especially in the daunting uncertainty of our modern world. But at the end of the day, if you don't enjoy what you're creating, the overwhelm that will come up eventually is going to keep you from coming back. That's why Mary is dedicating her 100th episode (woo-hoo!) to reflecting on the genuine joy of podcasting and inspiring you to do the same. It's time, once again, to check in with that big, overarching Why. Turn up the gratitude for all the opportunities your show has afforded you, the connections you've cultivated, and the support of the people who listen in. Let this episode be your reminder to take the time—look back, laugh out loud, and bask a bit in the joy of your creation. Consider the journey so far with storytelling and reflection prompts: Where to look for joy when you're tempted to back-burner your show The benefits and unexpected bonus points of having a podcast A guided walk down memory lane to see how far you've come Links worth mentioning from the episode: Episode 69, Intangible Values of a Podcast: What It Means For Stats, Metrics, and Monetization:  https://www.organizedsound.ca/intangible-values-of-a-podcast-what-it-means-for-stats-metrics-and-monetization-episode-69 Episode 95, Generative AI: Understanding the Future of Podcasting with Amanda Cupido: https://www.organizedsound.ca/generative-ai-understanding-the-future-of-podcasting-with-amanda-cupido-episode-95/ Connect with Mary!

Transcript with Audio Description: [MUSIC IN - GHOSTHOOD FEATURING SARA AZRIEL “LET'S GO” BEGINS] MARY: Podcasting is serious work. Sure, most of the time we're just having a conversation with someone or hearing stories, and yet when it comes to the making of podcasts, you know, the tasks that take you from an idea to actually publishing the episode, right, the recording, the editing, and then the promoting when it's all done, it's not always rainbows and unicorns.  And even in some cases where podcasts are talking about very serious topics, I've worked on episodes that talk about food insecurity, war torn countries, child abuse, trauma, relationship issues, there still can be joy, when you're talking about serious issues and creating your show. The light and the joy that actually comes from sometimes being in these really dark spaces can brighten even more. I mean, to the lack of a whole cliche thing, you really need to be in the dark and to be in that seriousness, to really enjoy and know what it means to be appreciative of being in that light.  So, podcasting is serious work. But like I always say, podcasting is meant to be fun. So as we celebrate 100 episodes of this very show, I want us both to reflect on how much work podcasting really is. Through the struggle to complete and publish episodes. That struggle is real, and yet how there's actually so much joy that it can bring. Podcasting is serious work, yes, but it's also fun.  So, this is episode number 100, oh yeah! On the Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice.  > MARY: Thank you so much for listening to the Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you'd share it with a podcasting friend. And to reveal more voicing and podcasting tips, click on over to VisibleVoicePodcast.com. Until next time.

YOUR PERSONA & PRESENCE MAKE YOU UNFORGETTABLE As a podcaster, you spend countless hours perfecting your content. But are you making your show truly unforgettable? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I reveal why your unique persona and presence are the most important assets you have. These are assets that artificial intelligence or your competition can never copy. When you infuse your content with your personal story and authentic self, you stand out from the endless sea of sameness. It's this magnetism that attracts loyal listeners and turns casual followers into raving fans for your brand. WHY YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPERPOWER Let's be real: being slightly better or just another "shade of gray" won't set you apart in today's crowded landscape. It's not about being cheaper, having a slicker course, or even a more refined mic setup. What makes people choose you, over and over again, is your story—your origin, your journey, your perspective. Your competition might try to imitate your process, but they'll never replicate your lived experience and genuine voice. In this episode, I break down how icons like Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, and Zig Ziglar rose to fame by unapologetically sharing who they are and weaving personal stories into every lesson. STOP TEACHING—START ENTERTAINING Too many podcasters get caught up in cramming more information into each episode. Here's the truth: listeners crave entertainment. Even when they're tuning in to learn, it's the stories and emotions you invoke that keep them coming back. Just think about your favorite teacher—the one who brought lessons to life, not the monotone professor who put the class to sleep. In this episode, I show you how to wrap your valuable content in relatable, audience-focused stories. When you stir emotion and invite your audience into your world, you don't just give them information—you give them an unforgettable experience. DEFINE YOUR BRAND WITH INTENTION Your brand isn't an accident—it's a choice. I walk you through how to identify four to six adjectives that define your podcast persona and ensure every episode supports those characteristics. Are you insightful, quirky, bold, or caring? Structure your content and stories to reinforce these brand traits with consistency and confidence. When you intentionally choose the characteristics your show stands for, you foster trust and recognition in your niche. Just like Gary Vaynerchuk and Mel Robbins attract their tribes with distinct personas, you can create a magnetic brand by sharing your story your way. TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO GREATNESS If you ever wonder why your audience isn't growing, your engagement is flat, or you're not making money with your podcast, the answer is likely simple: you haven't leaned into your story and presence enough. Now is the time to stand out by being more authentic, more entertaining, and more YOU.

Transcript with Audio Description: [MUSIC IN - GHOSTHOOD FEATURING SARA AZRIEL “LET'S GO” BEGINS] MARY: When looking at new podcasts for something to listen to on your podcast player, sometimes one just stands out. For me, it was quite a few years ago when the title But What Do I Know grabbed my attention. It was nominated for a podcast award and it really resonated with me because, the imposter syndrome behind that question, my need for continual learning, and also learning from a fellow Canadian, which was rare at that time. When I saw the show, Canadian podcasts weren't really highlighted as Canadian, but really it was all about that imposter syndrome part. That little girl's uncertainty that I have that still lingers inside of me even as I am a 45 year old woman today. Right. Like all of this stuff comes up, and it came up through that one question, the title of her podcast.  So I added But What Do I Know? to my list, even though I didn't listen to it, not in the beginning at least, because I wasn't ready to face my inner struggles with that little girl that I was talking about, right? That struggle of, ooh, I actually have to look at this now. Nah. But I'll still save it on my podcast player because you just never know, right? And then I fast forward to last year, 2024, and the podcast was rebranded and it spoke to me even more. I was like, wait a minute, why did this rebrand happen? What's different? What's going on? And it piqued my curiosity.  So I was like, okay, leaning towards the curiosity versus, ooh, do I have to face my inner demons? And that was the change for me. And I decided to hit play because I realized, yeah, what do I know? Because I could learn from Chidinma Azubuike. Chidinma and I chat about her podcasting journey and what success looks like for her now. Because as we know, podcasting is a lot of work. So how does her curiosity and drive to build community work for her podcast today?  This is episode number 97 on the Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice.

WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY STARTING MY PODCAST If I were to start this journey all over again, what would I do differently? That's exactly what I cover in this episode of Podcast Talent Coach. After years on the radio and over a decade in podcasting, I've learned a lot—often the hard way! In this week's episode, I lay out three crucial things I'd do differently to help you avoid the same mistakes. You can command attention with your content, and actually attract clients instead of endlessly chasing them down. You don't have to struggle to find listeners if you set up your content for engagement, connection, and growth from the start. RESOURCES MENTIONED: Podcast Talent Coach: www.PodcastTalentCoach.com The Big Party Show: https://hurrdatmedia.com/hurrdat-one/shows/the-big-party-show/ LEAN INTO YOUR PERSONALITY EARLY The first think I would do differently: lean into personality sooner rather than later. For years, I tried copying other radio personalities, and it just didn't work. Your authenticity is magnetic. Listeners fall in love with who you are—not just what you say. That genuine connection builds trust and keeps people coming back. When I finally started just being myself, everything changed. That's when my shows started reaching the top of the ratings, and I was able to help others do the same. The secret isn't in the content; it's in the storyteller. Share your stories, your quirks, and your unique perspective. Because you are what makes you worth listening to. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS The next thing I'd do differently is find joint venture partners much sooner. JV partners will promote you to their audiences, helping you explode your email list, get in front of ideal clients, and grow your business faster than you ever could alone. Not all JV partners are equal, though. So, focus on finding the ones who are active promoters and are aligned with your values. By plugging into the right partnerships, I took my email list from 500 to over 5,000 in just a year. If you want explosive growth, don't go it alone—collaborate! Your network is a growth multiplier, not just a way to get your name out there. HIRE A COACH TO SHORTCUT YOUR SUCCESS The third thing I'd do differently? Get a coach early. I know there's hesitation. "Will it be worth it? Will I actually implement?" But, having the right mentor is a game-changer. I waited six years before hiring my first coach, and progress after that skyrocketed. Different coaches have helped me with sales, offers, content, and scaling systems. A mentor helps you not just gather information, but actually implement it, saving you years of trial and error. Remember: information alone doesn't create transformation. You've got to take action—and a great coach will help you do just that. TURN INFORMATION INTO ACTION If you want to stand out and attract both fans and clients, it's all about taking action. Don't just collect PDFs, lead magnets, and courses. Decide what's going to move the needle and make it happen. Most content creators never act on what they learn. Be the exception. Whether it's refining your origin story to create rapport, building JV relationships, or working with a mentor, execution is what will separate you from everyone else. Attracting clients and building powerful relationships with your audience starts the minute you put yourself into your podcast and follow these proven strategies. Want to talk more about how to implement this in your show? Reach out to me. You can email me at Coach at PodcastTalentCoach.com. I can help you develop your unique brand, build authority, and create content that actually grows your business.

Send Krystal a Text Message.Ever wonder how some content creators maintain a relentless publishing schedule without burning out? It's not superhuman discipline or mysterious productivity hacks—it's all about systems and workflows. After recording over 1,500 podcast episodes and publishing more than 500 YouTube videos weekly, I've learned that consistency stems from strong organization rather than just motivation. Many podcasters resist creating systems, citing their creativity as a reason, but that's often just a lazy excuse.The key to consistency lies in implementing frameworks like the PREP'M Method (Plan, Record, Edit, Publish, and Market). This five-step process clarifies each stage of content creation. Supporting tools like content calendars, episode templates, and organized files create a foundation that not only smooths day-to-day production but also positions you for sustainable growth. These systems help reduce decision fatigue and make delegation easier, protecting you from the dreaded burnout.You don't need to overhaul your entire workflow at once. Start by pinpointing where you feel the most stress in your content creation process. Even small improvements, like a checklist or an organized folder, can lead to significant changes in quality and consistency. Embrace organization, and you might just uncover the true magic of content creation. What system will you implement today to enhance your podcasting journey?
