Is your first 5 minutes killing your listens?

Hi there!

Happy Monday! Your three free tips for the day are here!

TIP 1 - You have 5 minutes to hook 1/3 of listeners

In your opening, let the listener know what’s in store right away. Give them a sense of what they will get out of listening. Leave them no doubt that this is the podcast and episode for them.

TIP 2 - Send your podcast guest a personal Thank You video

Rather than a stock standard pre-written email, take 30-60 seconds after your interview to record a personalized video message that refers to a unique moment you shared. This will create greater reciprocity.

TIP 3 - Focus on audience retention, not just new listeners

If you’re not retaining listeners, you’re essentially broadcasting to a new audience each week. You’re not building a community, you’re not forging a true connection with the people tuning in to a single episode and you’re not building any trust with your audience.
