The two ideas may not seem related, but in fact, they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you reach a certain plateau in your audience growth, you will quickly discover that you may not be able to keep up with all the demands on your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly expand, and find more listeners you\u2019ll need to stop working in your business, and start working on it instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What this means is you need to bring in other people to handle the day-to-day processes. You don\u2019t need to be the one handling the editing your audio, updating your website, creating show notes, and a host of other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you should be doing things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Guest podcasting on other people\u2019s shows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Writing (our outsourcing the writing of) guest posts for blogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sending out press releases to the media to get the word out about your show<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attending conferences and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One common mistake podcasters make is falling into &#8220;Field of Dreams&#8221; marketing &#8211; the idea that &#8220;if you build it, they will come.&#8221; Unfortunately, this isn&#8217;t the case with podcasting. You need to actively tell people about your newly published episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all of this in mind, here are seven effective ways to grow your podcast\u2019s listener base by hiring help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" width=\"800\" height=\"562\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"picture of woman editing a podcast\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/editing-a-podcast-1024x719.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/editing-a-podcast-1024x719.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/editing-a-podcast-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/editing-a-podcast-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/editing-a-podcast.jpg 1200w\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-start-with-editing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-start-with-editing\"><\/span>1. Start With Editing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Editing is one of the most important aspects of <a href=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/thinking-of-starting-a-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">starting a podcast<\/a> that actually doesn\u2019t require you to be the one doing the job. While you may want to personally <a href=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/best-podcast-editing-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">edit the first several episodes<\/a> to get a feel for how to do it, and how you want your podcast to sound, soon you can hand over the reins to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to be there for the recording, but an independent contractor or an employee can take over the editing to give you back some time for working on growing your listener base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, suppose it takes you 10 hours a week to edit your episodes. By getting that time back, you can start networking with other podcasters and begin building a relationship with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, you can ask them to either feature you as a guest, or for a social media share of your latest episodes to help you get the word out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-work-on-search-engine-optimization-seo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-work-on-search-engine-optimization-seo\"><\/span>2. Work On Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to keyword research, and seeing what episodes are moving the needle, you can hire someone to do all of that for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will you save the time of learning how to maximize SEO opportunities yourself, but you will also save the time of actually completing the task as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What can you do with this time saved? Develop an editorial calendar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having an editorial calendar will help you come up with new and innovative ideas for future episodes, and you will have the time to determine better means of promotion as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, while you\u2019re working on your <a href=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/how-to-start-a-podcast\/#editorial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">podcast&#8217;s editorial calendar<\/a> you can include space for social media updates as well. Add the ideas for what you will share on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc \u2026 directly to the calendar and then outsource the scheduling of that too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This step will ensure you are never at a loss for what to record, and that you always know what to share to social media so you can continue promoting with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-add-your-show-to-podcast-directories\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-add-your-show-to-podcast-directories\"><\/span>3.

As more people find out about your community, they will be interested in learning more about your podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long time podcaster, and multi millionaire John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneurs on Fire fame has two Facebook groups &#8211; one related to his paid course <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/PodcastersParadise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podcaster\u2019s Paradise<\/a>, and the other for his planners called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/TheFreedomJournal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Freedom, Mastery &amp; Podcast Journal Family<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By launching Facebook groups, he has created a fiercely loyal community of followers that regularly are informed about the latest news about his podcast and business, but that also promote and share what he is up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine having a community of your own that become brand advocates sharing with their friends and family how amazing you are! This could create an amazing word of mouth growth opportunity for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, by hiring help you can create, maintain, and grow a group like this much faster than you would have if you were trying to do everything yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-investigate-sponsors\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-investigate-sponsors\"><\/span>5.

That could certainly get more visitors to your website and podcast pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you\u2019re spending every waking hour working in your podcast\u2019s day-to-day operations, you likely don\u2019t have time to look for influencers, let alone work with them to keep growing your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now imagine, you\u2019ve hired help to find the best influencers in your niche to pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, imagine they are doing all of the initial outreach on your behalf!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe they are just managing other tasks that don\u2019t require you to physically do them so you can reach out to influencers yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, having more hours given back to you opens up more possibilities for growing your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-repurpose-show-content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-repurpose-show-content\"><\/span>7.
