70: Our Big Podcast Mistake - Why We Decided To Change Our Name With Monica Schrock
Jan 11, 2024 Episode 70
Elaine Lou Cartas

What you “name” something is everything.

For example, when you’re looking for a plumber.

You look for a “plumber” on Yelp and Google and have some options.

Even though it has been a big part of my brand since the beginning, I realized the phrase “Color Your Dreams,” the former title of my podcast, doesn’t mean anything to someone searching for podcasts.

My conclusion: I need to change the title to grow my podcast, and continue to provide accessible education for women of color and allies.

SO…we have changed our name to “WOC and Allies Business & Career Real Talk.”

I know it’s a mouthful, BUT search on Spotify for “WOC Business” or “WOC Career” under “Podcasts & Shows.” I’m #1.

That’s the power of a name AND search engine.

In this episode, we dive into our podcast's evolution from "Color Your Dreams" to "WOC and Allies Business & Career Real Talk." We focus on the power of SEO and its role in connecting with our audience.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • Evolution of the Podcast Name: From "Color Your Dreams" to "WOC and Allies Business & Career Real Talk"
  • The Power of SEO: Understanding the importance of being searchable and relatable.
  • Marketing Strategies: Insights on how to be more visible and engaging.
  • Reflecting on Growth and Adaptability: How to use feedback and data for continuous improvement.
  • How I’ve merged my business and executive career coaching clients together so we can learn from one another, and why I’m only working with 24 clients simultaneously.
