How to Grow Your Podcast or Live Streaming Audience
It’s essential for your group to promote your brand continually. And one of the best ways to do it is creating a podcast or live stream done regularly, so people know when to tune in. Also, the best way to accomplish it is to create a series branded for your organization. Therefore, the following incluse simple ways to grow your audiences.
Promote Your Podcast in Advance
Aside from creating a series, you have to promote it. Remember, while social media allows people to see things, with algorithms, that’s hit or miss. So, when you promote in advance, you ensure that more people will attend. Therefore, promote your podcast or live stream via social media. But also do it on your website, in email and even off-line with direct mail or events.
Thank & Call Out New Subscribers
Next, make it a point to call out names and thank people individually. When you do it even for a few moments during each podcast, you achieve two things. 1) First, you show other people joining the “club.” And people like to belong to something. 2) People love to hear their names. And if they listen to you thanking them, it makes them feel good about your show.
Interact With Your Audience
No matter your work, even if it’s something serious, people want engagement. So figure out different ways to keep things fresh for your audience. For instance, look into polls, fascinating conversations, creating contests, or doing shout-outs. Be creative. And keep people tuning in and staying tuned in to what you say on your podcast or live stream.
Build Buzz
When you have a particularly relevant topic or guest appearing on your show, create buzz. Thus, spend time in advance of the day teasing it on social media. And, as in the earlier point about promoting in advance, use different channels. Doing so ensures your audience will want to see your show.Â
Ask for Opinions
Every marketer or fundraiser knows one of the best strategies for attracting leaders is to ask their opinion about something. Therefore, let your audience know you care about what they have to say. Ask their opinion through polls. Or ask several members of the audience to come on your show and spotlight why they champion your work. For instance, ask why they got involved with you? Why do they follow you? Asking for opinions and views about what they think will only encourage people to want to get and remain involved.Â
