Podcasting is not one-size-fits-all and I love to show you how different podcasters have success with completely different approaches.Kelly Potts is a marketing and mindset coach who happened to launch her podcast on the same day that I did. Other than both launching our shows on October 12, 2020, our launch strategies had nothing in common.

Today’s episode is a follow-up to episode 2 of this season when we talked about out-of-the-box ways to promote your podcast. I have a few new ideas for you that very few podcasters are taking advantage of right now and can be huge opportunities for you.

Over 800 episodes and 1 million downloads later, she has some incredible insight on how to be authentic, consistent, and successful as a podcaster. Listen in to learn more!

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you know how important I think podcast strategy is to your overall success. Over half of the episodes I’ve created for The Podcast Babes Podcast have focused on strategy. This is why I loved having Melissa Ronda on the show yesterday. She has never had a strategy for her show and she is currently a top 15 weight loss podcaster. Our chat really got me thinking about how to find your perfect podcast format, using her method of going with the flow and seeing what works best instead of planning everything out. Today I want to talk about how you can find the perfect show format for your podcast without needing a structured strategy.

Before starting a new podcast, most podcasters attempt to plan out every last detail. Sometimes to a fault. That’s not the way Melissa Ronda did it, though.  Since the beginning of her top 15 weight loss podcast, Melissa has had no strategic plan for her show. As someone who champions podcast strategy, I was super curious as to how Melissa was able to make it to 200+ episodes with no strategy. Check out today’s episode of The Podcast Babes Podcast to learn how she did it.

Today, I’m going to expand on our conversation even more so that you can get the most from every episode.

A lot of times people want to start a podcast to get clients. For Lucy, it wasn't that. For her, what was important was actually the networking. She has clients who have listened to her podcast, and they feel connected to her, which makes it clear that she’s the right person to work with them. But that's not her priority. Lucy’s priority is to serve whoever she's attracted to, whether they become a client or not. Even if they don’t end up working with her, she still changed their lives or made their lives better. I had to ask Lucy how she builds that connection with her listeners and guests and how to make an actual impact with your podcast. Are you curious about her answers?
