Your Podcast Isn’t a Performance—It’s a Relationship With Boundaries | #264

Jen Rogers, Podcast Strategist: You know that expression when you get a wild hair? Yeah, me too. In, in fact, I got a wild hair, which is exactly why I am recording five super short episodes this week that will help you improve your podcast. So there is a quick listen and then one quick action item you can take to improve your podcast.

Are you in? Are you ready? Alright, let's do it. Hey there, I'm Jen Rogers, your Hostess with the Mostest, and I believe podcasting is key to your business success. You do not need a million, bajillion followers. You really don't. What you need to grow your business are real relationships, genuine relationships. That's why in today's episode, I'll give you one action step to nurture your relationships with your audience. Are you ready to do it? Alright, let's hop to it.

 [00:01:00] This tip is super easy and won't take you much time. You can accomplish this in under five minutes. 

 The mechanism you choose will depend on the resources that you already have set up to serve your community. If you don't have a community set up, then you'll need to use your email list or reach out to people that you're friends with on one of your socials.

Here's what you can do to nurture genuine relationships. Invite people into a 15-minute conversation with you. There's no sales pitch. It's a quick 15-minute conversation to invite people into a connection conversation with you. This is definitely not a sales call.

On these connection calls, you'll ask them to share what is it that they need most right now to move forward in whatever it is that they do.

So if you are teaching macros and they're struggling with implementing [00:02:00] some of the strategies that you've been giving on your show, then you'll learn a little bit more about what that hurdle is, and you can give the recommendation right there on the call so you can give them something of value without asking for anything. 

And then you can take that something of value and turn it into one of your podcast episodes or turn it into content when you guest on a show so you can share more about that: some of the common questions I receive are, and those common questions you receive will come from these 15 minute quick connection conversations.

The way we build trust is through connection. That's why this nurture strategy will work for you, as you monetize every podcast episode.

Jen Rogers, Podcast Strategist: , I am modeling this same strategy for you. I'm offering you the same thing to learn what is most important to you right now. What is that hurdle you are facing when it comes to recording episodes or scheduling guests, or being a guest on a show? 

What's going on with [00:03:00] you right now that is keeping you stuck in your podcasting journey? Hey, one of my spiritual gifts is a gift of exhortation. When we meet together for our coffee chat. I promise I will come fully ready to support you and encourage you as you work through this hurdle, because I already know you definitely are going to work through it because we know podcasting is a long game.

I'd love to help you move forward quickly. You can book your own 15-minute conversation with me by heading on over to coachjenrogers.com/coffeechat, C-O-F-F-E-E-C-H-A-T, coachjenrogers.com/coffeechat. Let's talk for 15 minutes. I have slots on the calendar between now and May 10th because after May 10th, we'll be diving right into the Profitable Podcast Bootcamp.

So be sure to book your call because what you share on these calls, I'll turn them into masterclasses [00:04:00] inside the virtual podcast school so you can learn from them to continue to grow your show. The more effort you put into growing your show without burning out, the more likely you are to have genuine engagement with your audience to build real relationships.

And remember what I shared at the beginning? You do not need a million bajillion followers.  

One of the most important often overlooked ways you can grow your impact, your influence, and your income with podcasting is through building and nurturing relationships. Now when you go to coachjenrogers.com/coffeechat, you'll see I set up a page and a link to book on Calendly.

If that's not your jam, that's not a reason to avoid doing this. You can set up one Zoom room and have open hours of q and a and invite your community to come into a conversation with you by saying, join me for a [00:05:00] quick coffee inside the zoom room. I'm opening it up on the days that you'll open up. 

I'd love to hear how you plan to implement this one strategy. You can do it today. You really can. You can get this done in just a few minutes. Really!

Set up the invitation and invite your community to come join you and learn from them. They have a lot to teach us about what they need the most. 

 Opening up a coffee chat opportunity that is scriptural. Yes, it is! Mentorship and leadership and learning from one another. They all go together. 

Check out Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. 

So let's get to sharpening, shall we? Hey, I'll be back in your podcast feed tomorrow with wild hair number two to help you grow your podcast so you can monetize every episode.

Alright, I'll catch you on the flip side.
