Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast with Courtney Elmer | Podcasting, Marketing, Psychology

What separates today's top podcasts from the ones that go unnoticed? Spoiler alert: It’s not high-quality audio, great content, or "staying consistent."

And we both know that’s not how it works.)   Here on the show, we’re breaking down over 15,000 hours of study into what today’s top podcasts are doing differently to reveal the exact strategies you need to launch and grow a profitable podcast that listeners can’t ignore.   So, if you're an established coach, consultant, or service-based business owner who wants a bingeworthy Top 100 podcast that dominates the charts on Apple and Spotify, positions you as the go-to expert in your niche, and drives real business growth — you’ve come to the right place.   As the founder of PodLaunch and a Forbes-featured Top 1% podcast educator dubbed “The Podcast Whisperer'' by CEO Weekly, Courtney Elmer is known as the leading authority on the psychology behind what makes podcasts succeed (or fail).By applying the science of human behavior and psychology to podcasting, Courtney and her team have helped more than seventy six- and seven-figure business owners and experts launch and grow Top 100 podcasts that turn listeners into clients.   So, if you’re ready to launch a podcast that actually gets noticed...Or if your existing podcast is stuck in “less-than-200-downloads-per-episode-jail" no matter how consistently you publish…   Or if you’re tired of searching Google for podcasting tips and listening to other podcasts that preach outdated podcasting advice like “podcasting is a long game” or “keep showing up”…   And you’re ready to learn the exact strategies you need to get listeners choosing your podcast over the competition, turn those listeners into loyal clients, and use your voice to create meaningful change in the world... Hit play and let's dive in.
