And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
When I'm listening to podcasts,
Speaker:
00:00:25
I'm always interested to see how many calls to action
Speaker:
00:00:27
a podcaster offers.
Speaker:
00:00:28
Often it's multiple.
Speaker:
00:00:30
So for example, review the podcast, follow me on social,
Speaker:
00:00:32
sign up for my newsletter,
Speaker:
00:00:34
and follow for free on your favorite app.
Speaker:
00:00:36
Now while that's all well and good,
Speaker:
00:00:37
it does negate the effectiveness of each call to action
Speaker:
00:00:39
because you're asking for too many.
Speaker:
00:00:41
It's really important
Speaker:
00:00:42
when you want listeners to take an action
Speaker:
00:00:44
that it's clear and simple what the action should be,
Speaker:
00:00:46
which is why I always recommend just using one call
Speaker:
00:00:48
to action and making it the most effective it can be.
Speaker:
00:00:51
Now for me, that call to action
Speaker:
00:00:52
is obviously growing your podcast.
Speaker:
00:00:54
And while that can come from your newsletter,
Speaker:
00:00:56
the most effective way of growing your podcast
Speaker:
00:00:58
is telling people about it.
Speaker:
00:01:00
So for your call to action,
Speaker:
00:01:01
ask your listeners to recommend your show
Speaker:
00:01:02
to their friends, families, colleagues,
Speaker:
00:01:04
and other podcasters who might enjoy the show.
Speaker:
00:01:06
And make that your single call to action
Speaker:
00:01:08
both at the start and the end of the episode.
Speaker:
00:01:10
Reinforce it every episode,
Speaker:
00:01:11
so no matter whether listeners skip the start
Speaker:
00:01:13
or listen to the start but skip to the end,
Speaker:
00:01:15
you've got that call to action in there.
Speaker:
00:01:17
By telling people to recommend your show,
Speaker:
00:01:19
you're helping it grow more organically,
Speaker:
00:01:21
which in the long run will help your other goals
Speaker:
00:01:23
of growing your newsletter list,
Speaker:
00:01:24
growing your followers on social,
Speaker:
00:01:25
getting more reviews, and more.
Speaker:
00:01:27
So in the spirit of that, if you enjoyed this tip,
Speaker:
00:01:29
be sure to recommend this episode and the show
Speaker:
00:01:31
to your friends, family, and anyone else
Speaker:
00:01:33
who would enjoy the podcast.
Speaker:
00:01:34
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
