But social media is only one aspect of podcast marketing, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/promotion\/can-you-grow-a-podcast-without-social-media\/\">you don&#8217;t even need to use it at all<\/a> if you don&#8217;t want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/promotion\/seo-for-podcasters\/\">SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)<\/a> is the ultimate low-hanging fruit of podcast growth because it lets your listeners find and come to you in their own time and on their own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating special or unique content alongside your usual episodes is another growth strategy that&#8217;s yielded great results for some of our podcasters, and we&#8217;re going to hear some tips for replicating that, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another recurring strategy in this episode is collaboration.

So, you know, we might ask questions like who was your favorite Eurovision winner? Or what&#8217;s the one song that you think should have performed better in the contest? And that is still engaging an audience. It&#8217;s getting our brand name out there, but it&#8217;s not necessarily intrinsically linked to the podcast. But equally, if we do get some really good stories from prompter questions like that, then we can discuss them on the episode and that then almost becomes content that we can take onto the podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eurotrippodcast.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rob &amp; James \u2013 The Euro Trip<\/a><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"kathi\" class=\"wp-image-54951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-290x290.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-445x445.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-635x635.jpg 635w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland-890x890.jpg 890w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kathi-wild-for-scotland.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Once you kind of start settling into a routine, it gets very scary to do something different because you don&#8217;t want to put anyone off or surprise your accustomed listeners by doing something that they&#8217;re not used to or they didn&#8217;t expect. But I actually think we can challenge our listeners a bit more, and we should be confident in our own vision enough and bold enough in our skills to challenge our listeners and produce something that we think maybe just goes a little beyond what they had expected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildforscotland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Kathi &#8211; Wild for Scotland<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These indie podcasters have grown passionate fanbases around their content.
