Part I | Your Podcast Won’t Drive Sales Without This

Most podcasters want to make money from their show. The problem? Too many assume that having a podcast and making money from it are one and the same—but they’re not.

In this two-part episode series, I’m breaking down how to bridge the gap between having the podcast and making money from it, with what you actually need to turn listeners into buyers. Plus, we’ll unpack one of the biggest mistakes podcasters make that causes them to spend hours scripting, recording, and editing, only to refresh their analytics and see no new downloads and no new dollars in their bank account.

So if you're ready to build a podcast that actually drives business growth without spending hundreds of hours creating episodes and not getting paid for it, hit play and let's dive in.
