Using Podcasts as Part of a Career Change

Image
Most people grow up with the belief that they have to decide what to do for the rest of their lives just out of high school or in their early 20s. But lifelong careers are a thing of the past; more people each year decide to switch to careers that make them happier. Career change can be a positive and inspiring experience. It is only reasonable—people change and sometimes the job they thought they liked doesn’t work anymore for the type of life they want to have. However, many people have doubts and fears when making a career change. They are leaving the security of their current job, and starting from zero in a new career, probably losing years of experience they had in the previous position. For all these reasons and more, people should start listening to career podcasts. Podcasts also help make people feel like they aren’t alone in their choices.

Podcast Website Traffic Increased by 351% in One Week [Content Optimization Case Study]

Here is our own "sad" case study - but with a happy ending! We presented some of this at SEO Saturdays.com last week, but I wanted to follow up with the case study here: I have a “ hero ” episode / blog post that was on page one of the search results for a long time - before dropping off. In this post I want to tell how we “rescued” that piece of content during our last SEO Saturdays livestream, and how we used an app called “Topic” for generating SEO content briefs and content grading. Such content optimization tools can have a massive impact on your podcast website traffic, website rank, and of course subscribers who discover your show by searching no the web. I will also share how I increased my traffic by 351% in one week.
