    How Long Does It Take for a B2B Podcast to Generate Clients?

    If you have or are considering launching a podcast to generate clients for your business, you probably want to see a return on investment as soon as possible. At the same time, it's important to have a realistic outlook on how long it takes for a podcast to generate business so that you don't give up before you've gotten value from it. And how long it takes depends on a few factors. But there are actually a few different ways that a podcast can generate business, and some of them are far quicker than others. In fact, there's one method that is by far the quickest. We call it "guest prospecting". Booking ideal clients as guests. It's something that almost none of your competitors are doing. And it's something that can potentially win you business within the first few episodes. But by understanding all three methods, you can put your podcast in the best position to sustainably attract clients.  So in this episode, I'm going to break down the three main ways that a B2B podcast can generate clients and how long before these methods start working. In this episode, you'll discover -  The three key ways to generate clients through your podcast. How long it generally takes for a B2B podcast to generate clients. The timeframe podcasters should keep in mind when launching.   LEARN MORE Claricast - https://www.claricast.com CONNECT Joe Eftihiou on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-eftihiou/ LISTEN Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5rdajQ9A1D8an5sBmoAFjR?si=10b5eb9fc21c4bfd Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcasting-amplified/id1714803934 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZWGTnpapiangKMMvMRFXehPNrgbnAl_z   Production by Claricast.

    Why Podcast Downloads Don't Matter (For Most Businesses)

    Most businesses are measuring the wrong metric when it comes to their podcast. Or at least, they're putting far too much weight on it. That metric is downloads... or views if you're publishing your podcast on YouTube. Now, don't get me wrong. Of course you want people to listen to and watch your podcast. But if your goal is to win business through your podcast, downloads and views shouldn't be the thing you're obsessing over. And in this episode, I'm going to explain why podcast downloads don't matter as much as most businesses think, what you should be focusing on instead, and how to know whether your podcast is actually delivering a return on investment. In this episode, you'll discover -  Why downloads shouldn't be the primary metric for businesses. The 'CEF' framework - three metrics you should measure.

    Why does EVERYONE have a podcast?

    Why does everyone seem to have a podcast? At first, it was mostly independent creators, radio personalities and people who already worked within the media industry. But now, it seems like every celebrity has to have one, even when there isn't much of a concept beyond interviewing other celebrities. Businesses are launching podcasts left, right and centre and struggling to stand out. And every group of friends who think their private conversations would be hilarious to everybody else eventually seems to utter those same five words: "We should start a podcast." But does everyone really have a podcast? And what is it about podcasting that makes it feel so saturated? In this episode, we're going to look at how many podcasts are really out there, why so many celebrities, creators and businesses have been drawn to the medium, and whether there is still space for your podcast to grow and get results. Covered in this episode: How many podcasts are out there and active? Why has podcasting become so popular? Is there still space to start a podcast that stands out?
