If you have ever considered creating an online course, or if you are already a course creator, you have probably thought a lot about marketing that course. The challenge is how to be thoughtful and creative in marketing your course, which becomes a separate income stream for your business. Starting a podcast is one of the best ways to market your course while creating a solid, compound income stream, and we are talking strategy today as I share what I’ve learned through my experience. Join us!

You’ll Learn:

Why starting a podcast has been one of the most rewarding personal and professional endeavors of my lifeWhy podcasts are the perfect way to produce authentic, evergreen content and establish trustHow a podcast becomes a way to avoid burnout and take self-care breaks while staying consistent with releasing and re-releasing contentHow podcasts allow dynamic ads, which are pure magic (Captivate makes it easy!) and help build your email listHow the podcasting format allows pre-roll, mid-roll, and end-roll ads to market your courses/resources consistentlyHow the “flywheel effect” serves to compound your efforts over time if you leverage your existing course students on your podcast
