Description
Promo swaps might be the most underrated growth lever in podcasting. In this episode, I reached out to three fellow podcast pros who’ve done it for their own shows and for clients: Danielle Bezalel, Lauren Passell, and Courtney Elmer.
They explain:
◼️ What a promo swap actually is, and why so few hosts take advantage of it
◼️ The impact swaps had on their shows’ growth and visibility
◼️ How to find the right swap partner whose audience genuinely overlaps with yours
◼️ What to agree on before the swap goes live
◼️ Their top advice for hosts trying a promo swap for the first time
