Don’t Just Talk—Listen! How to Actually Engage Your Podcast Audience
Your podcast shouldn't be a one-way street. If your audience is only passively listening and never engaging, you’re missing a massive opportunity.
In this episode, I share:
✔ The 3 best places to engage with your audience
✔ How to ask questions that actually get responses (I'm polishing up an old Radio Gem)
✔ The #1 mistake podcasters make when trying to boost engagement
If you’re podcasting for your business, engagement isn’t just about growing your audience—it’s about building relationships, refining your message, and turning listeners into leads.
Ready to make engagement EASY? Here’s what we cover:
The 3 Best Places to Engage Your Podcast Audience:
1️⃣ Social Media – Pick ONE platform and optimize it. No scavenger hunts! Tell listeners exactly where and how to engage.
2️⃣ Private Communities (Substack, Facebook Groups, etc.) – Build deeper relationships off social media.
3️⃣ Your Email List – Newsletters don’t have to be one-way! Use your emails to start real conversations.
BONUS: How to Ask for Engagement the Right Way
Most podcasters ask the wrong questions—so nobody responds. I share my black-and-white question strategy (a talk radio secret!) that will instantly boost engagement.
