What is the Authentic Definition of Podcasting Strategy? (#102)

When it comes to success in podcasting, everything begins with strategy. Inside your podcasting strategy, you'll find proper mindset, content pillars, short and long-term plans, well-defined expectations, a clear focus on what your ultimate goal is, and so much more.Trying to leverage podcasting for your business without a strategy is like trying to build a skyscraper on quicksand. Focus gets lost quickly, lack of clarity leads to burnout, and accomplishing your goals utilizing the podcast medium as your vehicle never becomes realistic.Today, I'm going to assign a true, authentic definition to the term "podcasting strategy." And while the definition I reveal may not be universally accepted, it 100% applies to the impact effective podcasting can have on the growth of your business.⚠️ After consuming this episode, you'll understand:✅ The lack of results you'll experience not leading with strategy first✅ The importance of identifying gaps in your business and determining how podcasting can fill them✅ Why you need to reverse engineer how you look at podcasting (and stop treating it like a means to podcasting fame)✅ The only time massive download numbers truly matter ✅ The true definition of podcasting strategyRESOURCE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: SBMowing🎟️ Get Your Ticket to The Empowered Podcasting Conference!

Celebrating 100 Episodes & The Evolution of Empowered Podcasting w/ Marc Ronick and Rich Perry (#100)

DID YOU KNOW: According to a quick Google search that produced a Reddit thread in the AI Overview, only 5-7% of podcasts actually make it to 100 episodes.
