  • Crushing Your 2024 Podcasting Aspirations

    Crushing Your 2024 Podcasting Aspirations
    Dec 12 2023
    Do you have big goals for your podcast in 2024? I’m a podcast coach with more than seven years of experience and I help podcasters like you build your podcast into a powerful tool for promoting your ministry or business. In 2024, I’m helping podcasters like you with a new program, unlike anything I’ve ever done before. I’ll tell you about it and how you can participate in a moment. First, we need to talk about why you might want to join a podcast coaching program like this. While there are many reasons, here are three: First, you’ve hustled as far as you can and need expertise to go further.This happens to all of us at a certain point. If you haven’t spent years researching, studying, and implementing podcasting, you could use some help and you know it. Your heart is telling you that it’s time to get some help. Second, you’re convicted to stop half-hearting your show. You started with a great vision that you still believe in but have been giving only half-efforts to the work it takes to grow your podcast and reap the rewards. You got discouraged when you didn’t see results along the way and slowed down. Nagging in the back of your mind, though, is a feeling that you can do so much more if you commit. Third, you want to unlock podcasting’s power for connection in your business or ministry but you’ve stalled. You want to become the authority on your subject, meet more leaders in your niche, and create something that will last. And you know that you can create a show that will serve and change the lives of your audience. 2024 is the time! Coaching that brings honest feedback combined with knowledge can change the trajectory of your podcast and even your life. In this program, we will meet every month for six months. We will discuss your mindset limitations that lead to results like those above and overcome them. We will explore strategies and brainstorm ideas and you will then implement them. You will have access to me via Voxer for questions between sessions. We will compare where you started to where you end up and set your trajectory going forward. But there’s one unique feature of this program that I haven’t shared with you, yet. This coaching program will be completely recorded and turned into a podcast of its own. I’m investing massive amounts of time and energy to create the absolute best experience for you (as I always do) so that we can share your results with the world. I intend to promote this podcast heavily and regularly resulting in tremendous exposure for you. My email list and social audiences will hear about this podcast coaching show and be invited multiple times to listen. And, of course, you can use the show in your own marketing efforts. If this sounds interesting to you, keep reading to see if you are a good fit for the program. This program is for you if you: Have at least 100 published episodes (or close to it)Have a problem with your podcast that you want to solve next yearA desire to grow your podcast’s reach substantially in 2024Willingness to invest in your podcast financially for both tools and the coaching program itselfAgree to have your sessions with me recorded and shared in online content including but not limited to a short run podcast, social media, and blog content Because of the nature of support I am offering, there are a limited number of openings so follow the actions below immediately to join. Here are the next steps: Fill out an application for the program here. The questions help me get a good sense of where you are at the moment and how we can grow together. Next, I will reach out to you shortly after you submit your application. We will set up a call and discuss the program, how it will help you, and overall make sure we are a good fit for one another. If we decide not to work together, that’s okay, too. Once we both decide it’s a good fit, you purchase your coaching package and we schedule our first appointment in January. Then, each month, you implement your action items and watch your podcast grow. Finally, the podcast we are creating to tell your story will be out in August 2024. I’ll give you all the tools to help promote it and our businesses will grow together. You only have so much time in life to devote to serving the people the Lord has called you to and every moment counts. Get the coaching you need to reach the people God has called you to. My clients create with confidence because they know that they are doing the right things at the right times and the results follow. The people I coach start movements by bringing the Kingdom of God to bear on their niche through podcasting. If the idea of more fully pursuing your podcast in 2024 resonates with you and you meet the criteria above, please fill out the application to get started. Once again, I’m taking a limited number of podcasters in this program so fill out the form now in order to be first for consideration. Keep podcasting, Eric
