<p>I have seen this over and over in my 17 years of podcasting. A big company comes in and explains how they are embracing podcasting, and then a short time later they quietly disappear and hope all the people with microphones don't notice. We do. </p> <p>There is one strategy that ALWAYS works with or without social media and that is what I want to share today. </p> <h2>WHO WANTS FREE STUFF?</h2> <p>I have a number of free classes at <a href="https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/freeclasses" target="_blank">www.schoolofpodcasting.com/freeclasses</a></p> <h2><strong>FOCUS ON YOUR AUDIENCE</strong></h2> <p>This always works. Find out what they need and give it to them, and then make it easy to find your show, share your show, and subscribe and follow your show. Be sure to ASK your audience (your sales team) to tell a friend in a clear, slow, specific manner. </p> <p>There is no free switch that will get you 10,000 downloads by the weekend. But when you deliver value, this does make the numbers go up (slowly) instead of down. </p> <h2>Need Some Help?</h2> <p>I'd love to help you.
