Most podcasters wait years for anyone to find their show in search. Caitlin Durning built Meraki Media Management after growing a nonprofit Instagram account to 500,000 followers in under 30 days, and she has spent five years hosting The End in Mind without missing a single Wednesday release.

In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Caitlin Durning reveals the four word title change that pushed her show into the top 3 percent on Listen Notes, the free value strategy that turns volunteer talks into consulting contracts, and the way sponsored guest episodes can support a show without turning it into an infomercial.
