Podcasting: Reach More Listeners

“Having our podcast ‘More Business More Life’ produced by Pro Audio Voices has been such a joy. Their service has allowed me to focus on the content and leave the technology, production and editing to the pros. On top of that, they’ve helped me syndicate the show, allowing us to reach more listeners.”

– Steve Napolitan, More Business More Life podcast

Increase Your Impact

Podcast Your Audiobook

Deliver your existing audiobook as a serial podcast series. This increases your impact by expanding your reach to the millions of podcast listeners. If your goal is impact and reach, this is a GREAT option. And many listeners will buy the audiobook as well—especially if there is additional content in the audiobook that is not in the podcast.

Be the Host of Your Own Podcast!

As a leader, you have an important message to share and information the world needs. If you have lots to share about your topic that will be of value to your listeners, this may be a good option for you. If you also have an audiobook, you can include relevant clips within the podcast that get listeners excited to hear more.

Interview Guests

Play host and interview people who can add to your topic. This option is great for building your audience by getting the word out through the followers of your guests. A great option if you have a strong personal network of people who are likely to have interesting or controversial commentary on your content. You can also use clips from your audiobook as the basis for discussion.

Stay Top of Mind:

Each episode of your podcast provides an opportunity to keep you and your author platform top of mind and current for your audience.

3 ways to market your audiobook through podcasting

Podcast Your Content: Break up your audiobook recorded content into podcast episodes and deliver through podcast platforms. This expands your reach to the millions of podcast listeners. Though you are essentially giving part or all of your audiobook away for free, this is a marketing investment. Many listeners will go ahead and get the audiobook if they love your content – especially if there is additional content in the audiobook that you have not included in the podcast.

For this type of podcast, you’ll need an intro and outro and you may also want episode intros as well. We can help you with all the pieces you need and the assembly of the episodes. A podcast of this type would be a serial podcast, rather than an episodic podcast. This indicates that the order matters and typically there are a fixed number of episodes rather than ongoing show.

Podcast Your Content with Commentary: Include segments of your audiobook that you also elaborate on as the host of the show. If you feel like you have lots to say about your content that would help listeners go deeper into the content, this may be a good model for you.

Podcast Your Content with Guests: Use clips from your audiobook as the basis for discussion with guests specifically related to your content. This option is great for building your audience by getting the word out through the followers of your guests. If you have a strong personal network of people who are likely to have interesting or controversial commentary on your content, this could be a great option for you.

Styles of podcasts

Solo Podcasts

If you’re not planning on interviewing guests and you’re planning to be the only show host, then you’ll be doing a solo podcast. This style is the simplest to produce and bypasses the need for scheduling with others.

Conversation Podcasts

These are podcasts for which you and others will be co-hosts. Typically the style is like a conversation around whatever topic or theme the show is about. This style is done without guests being interviewed. For scheduling, you just need to coordinate with your co-host.

Interviews

These are very popular and great for building audiences, especially if you can bring on guests that have an existing following. For these podcasts you may also have one or more hosts, but for each episode you would need to schedule a different guest. At first these can feel challenging to keep up with if you’re on a weekly schedule. Plan to get several episodes “in the can” before you launch and to take time on a consistent basis to schedule interviews as you move forward.
