The More Profitable Podcast with Stacey Harris

If you’re still sitting on a podcast idea because you’re waiting for the “right” time, let me stop you. What you’re actually doing is waiting for perfect. And perfect is just procrastination with better branding. While you’re busy “getting ready,” somebody else is already publishing and getting in front of your clients.

I’ve put out 689 episodes of this show. Do I think they’re all good? Nope. Do I think any of them are perfect? Abs...

If your downloads have dipped and you’re thinking, “The podcast is broken, what am I doing wrong?”—you’re not alone. It’s easy to spiral when numbers dip, but more downloads doesn’t equal more sales.

Your show has a job inside your sales process. The real question isn’t “How do I get more listeners?” It’s “Is my show actually moving the right people closer to becoming clients?” Those are two different problems, and solving the wrong...

Until now, this podcast housekeeping series has been very much about the listener. It’s been more about the people on the other end who you want to entice into your business.

But what about the impact on how you feel about your podcast? That’s the focus for today’s show, where we dive into the process of putting episodes together.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn about the strategical and logistical sides ...

When you open up Spotify or another preferred podcast app, what do you see?

As a podcast host, you really want your show to stand out on these apps. But listeners have so many choices, even if they narrow things down with a search for a specific subject (unless it’s really, really niche). And the options can blend together.

So how do you make sure your show doesn’t disappear in the crowd and get passed over? It starts with the first ...

Your podcast outro is highly-valuable real estate. Anybody who lasts long enough to hear it is on your “best listener” and “most interested leads” list. Therefore, you want to make sure it’s good!

Much of what you need for a great podcast intro also applies to your show’s outro. So in this next housekeeping episode of The More Profitable Podcast, you’ll learn about how to craft the perfect podcast outro. I’ll teach you how to positi...

New listeners to your podcast usually get their first impression from the intro. Is yours as effective as it can be?

This is the first part of actually getting into the foundational pieces of your podcast in this housekeeping series. If you happen to be a new listener of The More Profitable Podcast looking to launch your show, this is a good episode to start with. And if you’re an older listener with a podcast, it’s a good refresher...

This is not the episode I had planned for today, but I had a question come up in a conversation with a client recently and it gave me a desire to do something a little behind the scenes. So that's what we're going to do today. I'm going to take you into the aftermath of my mid-year review.

During their mid-year review, my client asked some really great questions about how I make decisions around what to do next with m...

If your podcast is leaving you feeling a little stuck as you're doing your mid-year audit, the answer is almost never to burn it down and start fresh. I get the instinct to grab the lighter. It's more exciting, frankly more fun, because we don't have to look real hard. We can blame the podcast instead of our approach to the podcast.

But here's the thing about overhauls. They're usually expensive, they cost y...

It's easy to get stuck in gear and hosting choices and building new pages for your website when you're launching a podcast. But when we're using this as a tool to market our business, some things have got to be lined up from the jump so we actually see the results we want to see.

I have conversations with potential podcasters all the time where we end up talking about how many downloads they should expect, how quickly...

It's time we tackle a topic that can be a bit daunting – getting ready to work with a new podcast production partner. Whether you've been DIYing your podcast or working with another team, there are some crucial things you need to have in place to make the transition smooth and successful.

Here's the thing: we've onboarded clients this year who fell into two camps. Some were convinced they needed way more than the...

Your podcast went quiet. Now you’re ready to come back.

Whether the break was intentional or your show just faded out, the question isn’t how to restart, it’s how to avoid ending up back here again.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re getting clear on what needs to happen before you hit record again. Because if you don’t look at what caused the break in the first place, you’re likely to repeat it, just with a differ...

You're doing more episodes. Adding special series. Creating private podcasts. More and more and more.

But here's the thing…doing more of something that's not currently working isn't going to get you better results. It's not that your audience needs more content from you, they need different content from you.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I'm breaking down four key lessons from high-perf...

It’s June. Month six of twelve. Which means yes, it’s “mid-year check-in” season.

And while everyone else is shouting about how behind you are, I want to do something different.
 I want you to slow down. Get honest. Actually check in. Not because you’re supposed to, but because you need to know if your podcast is doing its job.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re talking about what a real mid-year audit looks li...

The podcasters who close high-ticket offers in Q4? They’re not waiting until September to figure it out. They’re laying the groundwork now. It’s strategic. It’s quiet. And it starts earlier than most people expect.

This isn’t about hustling for the sake of it. It’s about understanding how longer sales cycles work. Your podcast should be helping you stay visible, build trust, and prep leads before your launch window even opens.

In thi...

Publishing valuable content is not the same as building a podcast that converts.

If you’re stuck in the cycle of sharing tips, getting great feedback, but still not seeing leads… this episode is going to hurt a little—but it’ll help a lot. Because the problem usually isn’t your content. It’s the misalignment between your episodes and your sales strategy.

On this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re digging into how “helpful”...

It’s finally time for us to have this conversation.

Repeatable podcast series. This is one of my absolute favorite strategy tools, and honestly, it’s the thing that gives me—and my clients—more breathing room, better leads, and sales that keep rolling even when we step away.

Today, I want to show you what a repeatable series can look like inside your business. Whether it’s buying you time off, supporting a launch, or becoming an ever...

Planning for Q4 might feel wildly premature—but it’s not. Especially this year, when sales cycles are longer, buyer hesitation is real, and your podcast needs to start doing the heavy lifting now if you want results later.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, I’m sharing why I scrapped my original launch plans and created the Profitable Podcast Summer Camp. After dozens of Q2 planning calls, one theme kept coming up: podc...

Growing your show is great, until you realize you’re bringing in the wrong people.

If you’re getting more listeners, but your sales pipeline still feels like a ghost town, it’s time to take a hard look at what’s actually happening.

Today, we’re talking about why so many business owners accidentally build podcasts that grow audiences... but don't grow revenue. And more importantly, how to fix it.

On this episode of The More Profit...

If your podcast has felt off lately, you’re not alone. But before you decide to hit pause—or scrap the whole thing—you need to figure out what’s actually wrong.

Because most of the time?
 It’s not the podcast.

It’s the support system.
 It’s the strategy.
 It’s the pressure of doing everything yourself without knowing if it’s even working.

In this episode of The More Profitable Podcast, we’re talking about how to figure out...
