Women Who Podcast - How to start, run and grow your podcast

Do you have a system in place to make your podcast run like clockwork?

Joining me in this episode is Dolly DeLong, host of the Systems and Workflow Magic podcast.

You're going to hear how systems have helped Dolly run her podcast and family photography business while also being present for her family.

Dolly creates intentional, strategic systems that support successful launches and empower entrepreneurs to maintain momentum afterward.

Hands up if you’re tired of promoting your podcast all over social media but without the rewards you expected?

My guest today has been very vocal on her own show about giving up the social media hustle for listeners and she’s going to share how she has been growing her podcast without making copious reels, stories and posts.

Rosemarie Callender is the host of The Podcast To Amplify Show: Podcasting Tips for Women Coaches, Service Providers and Entrepreneurs.

In this episode you’re going to hear what led Rosemarie to quitting instagram, and how she has increased her listenership instead.

You’re going to hear about her OCL framework and what simple steps you can start taking today to get your podcast into the right ears - and more of them.

This is Women Who Podcast and I’m your host Alison Fraser. 

Some of Rosemarie’s tips:

• Give your podcast a name that will help listeners find it

• Add keywords to your podcast name, description and author name

• Go back and rename episodes so that they show up in searches

• Swap podcast intros with other podcasters

• Repurpose your content - create playlists of episodes on a similar theme, add links to related episodes in your shownotes

Rosemarie mentioned her nine grid on instagram, this is where she still has a presence on the platform but all nine images relate to her and how she helps her ideal customer. Go have a look and get ideas for how to design yours.

This episode is an interview I did on the Spandex and Wine podcast with Robin Hackney. If you’ve not listened to Robin’s show before then I hope that after this episode you cue up some more of hers.

Why start a podcast?

Joining me today is Mary Lee, host of All Things Menopausal for a conversation about how podcasting creates intimacy, the whisper that led her to start her own show and what it means for her new business.

Mary is a menopause doula, helping women going through this stage of life.

She lives in Vancouver Island, Canada, but thanks to podcasting she is connecting with women from all over the globe.
