Shownotes

I started Getting Heard from zero on purpose, brand new accounts and not one follower carried over. When you launch your podcast, I want you to do the exact opposite.

In this Pod Shot I tell you why I did it that way, and who I'd want you to tell about your podcast first instead. You already know them. It's the advice I'd give every service business owner launching a show, and it goes against a lot of what you'll hear about growing an audience.

I also talk about why a podcast can feel cringe to tell people about (and why it shouldn't), and one small thing to do before you launch that could restart some lovely conversations.

Plus some news: the Pod Shot Challenge is coming back for one last round this year, and the waitlist is open now https://site.wavemakersaudio.com/waitlist

New Pod Shot every weekday, and you'll find me on Instagram and TikTok: @lynsaymakeswaves
