Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast with Courtney Elmer | Podcasting Psychology for Business Growth
If you’re a business owner, professional, or aspiring thought leader tired of being stuck in "less-than-200-downloads-per-episode" jail (or you’re ready to launch a podcast that actually gets noticed and positions you as the go-to authority in your niche) welcome to the podcast that’s about to change the game for you.
Unlike other podcasting shows that preach outdated advice like “share quality content” or “just stay consistent,” we’re breaking down over 15,000+ hours of study into what today’s top podcast hosts are doing differently (and how to apply their strategies to your own show) so you can build a binge-worthy podcast that drives real business growth. From laser on-air coaching, to listener Q+A, to insights from the industry’s best professionals, here you’ll get the tools and strategies other shows don’t dare to share (no, really).
Dubbed "The Podcast Whisperer" by CEO Weekly, Courtney Elmer is a Forbes- and Rolling Stone-featured Top 1% podcast host, Webby Awards judge, and the leading authority on the psychology behind why podcasts succeed or fail. By merging the science of human behavior with podcasting strategy, Courtney and her team at PodLaunch® have helped more than 70+ business owners, founders, and experts launch Top 100 podcasts with content that converts.
So if you’re ready to create a podcast that gets listeners bingeing your episodes, raving about your show, and reaching out to work with you (without wasting hours guessing what works or settling for downloads that don’t reflect your effort) hit play and let’s dive in.
