About this episode
Is Substack the next best place to grow your podcast, or just one more platform to juggle? Today, we talk about how to get real value from it. Co-host BC Babbles has been on Substack for a while and even hosts one of his podcasts there, so we ask what’s working, what he’s learned, and what best practices matter most. We also dig into how Substack helps you connect with listeners in a more personal way than traditional social media. Then we talk monetization, what people actually pay for, and how to offer value your audience will want to support.Episode Highlights: [03:02] Marc’s wisdom teeth update[06:00] Substack 101 kickoff[13:40] Using Substack for blogs[16:00] SEO considerations and platform risks[26:45] Newsletter and monetization strategy[36:42] RSS redirects and hosting risks[39:34] Private feeds and paywalled access[44:40] Notes, referrals, and lead funnels[47:08] Monetization safety and Patreon comparison[52:02] Platform fees and audience fit[54:14] Substack as a link hub[55:45] Discoverability, algorithms, and platform shiftsLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingBook A Free Call With Me:https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerCaffeination Nation: https://bit.ly/4s5KMtHHow Substack Approaches Moderation Decisions: https://bit.ly/3MNGLv4Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
