Podcasting Strategy, Launch and Marketing

For the last episode of Season 1 of the “Podcasting Strategy” podcast I’m revisiting and updating an older episode of my first podcast, “The Podcast Growth Show”.

Keeping it interesting for our audience, and building interesting social feeds in the process. Learn which content is most effective. Categorize social shares and follow different schedules for each.
