086: [Coaching] How to Generate Leads From Your Podcast with Stacey Ogden

Do you have a podcast - or video series or blog - but aren’t getting leads from it as you had expected?

You know your content is good - you’re getting listeners and viewers and readers - but, when it comes to making money as a result of that content, it’s crickets (and an empty inbox).

What can you do?

This is the question my guest today, Stacey Ogden of Busy Mom Collective, had.

In this on-air coaching call, you’ll hear as we dissect what’s going on with her podcast (if you don’t have a podcast, you can apply it to the content you’re creating).

We come up with specific strategies she - and you - can use to generate leads, including:

• what to do on her podcast to talk about what she does
• what kinds of calls to action to include and how many
• where to promote her podcast
• what to do when people sign up for her email list.

One thing Stacey told me is that she doesn’t want her podcast to come off as a sales pitch. And, I totally get it. I did an entire episode on why you shouldn’t sell from the stage - and what to do instead (episode 59). The same premise applies to your podcast and other content.

If you need help strategizing your podcast, video series, or messaging in general, you can book a strategy session. Strategy sessions are great for specific questions or challenges you have. We dig deep and you walk away with a concrete action plan, much like you’ll hear here with Stacey.

This episode is the second in a 4-part series related to podcasting. If you host a podcast or have a thought about it, this series will help you get better results. If you don’t have any plans for a podcast, still listen! The strategies we talk about can be applied in other areas too.
