    Grow Your Podcast Without Living Online: How to Use Pinterest & Threads for Podcast Growth

    Podcast marketing can feel like a second full-time job, especially when every platform demands daily content and constant attention. We all want growth without losing our sanity, so Julie sat down with Andy Smiley from The Friendly Podcast Guide to talk about what actually moves the needle for women podcasters: simple systems, smart platforms, and visibility that keeps working when you log off. Andy shares how podcasting changed her life, why she shifted her show over time, and what she learned from building a business that supports real-life capacity. We get honest about the “Instagram optional” reality many creators are seeing, then dig into alternatives that drive measurable results.  We go deep on Threads as a surprisingly powerful place to connect with podcasters, start conversations, and turn casual readers into email subscribers and clients. Then we unpack Pinterest for podcasters, including why it behaves more like a search engine than social media, why evergreen pins can send listeners for years, and how to start with a realistic pinning cadence. Andy also shares practical setup tips like using a Pinterest business account, verifying your website, reading analytics, and deciding whether multiple podcasts need separate accounts for stronger SEO keywords. This episode highlights: • Why women podcasters tend to collaborate instead of compete • Choosing marketing channels based on where your listeners actually are • Threads as a low-lift platform for conversations that lead to email subscribers and clients • Pinterest as an evergreen search engine for podcast discoverability • Practical Pinterest setup, including business accounts, website verification and analytics • Realistic consistency goals for pinning and how to test static, video and carousel pins Connect with Andi Smiley on Threads or Grab her Pinterest Checklist Connect with your host, Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson – Website - Instagram - Facebook - LinkedIn - Subscribe to my YouTube Channel Contact via Email: julie@podcastyourstorynow.com Join the Membership: Podcast Your Story Community  Software & Tools I use as a Podcaster & Business Owner Descript - PodMatch - Podpage - Buzzsprout - RSS.com -  Capsho - Castmagic

  5. How Podcasting Empowers Women to Share Their Authentic Voices and Experiences

    How Podcasting Empowers Women to Share Their Authentic Voices and Experiences

    On International Podcast Day, I had the pleasure of connecting with my friend and fellow podcaster, Elaine Williams, to celebrate the incredible impact of podcasting. As we reflected on our shared passion, we explored the unique power this medium holds to create meaningful connections, share personal stories, and leave a lasting legacy. The Personal Connection of Podcasting Elaine beautifully articulated how podcasts have become an integral part of her daily life, offering inspiration, education, and entertainment during routine tasks. We discussed the intimate nature of podcast listening, likening it to road trips and pillow talk - those moments of deep connection and vulnerability. From Audio to Video: Evolving with the Medium While podcasting began as an audio-only format, we touched on the growing importance of short-form video content for discoverability. However, we agreed that the heart of podcasting remains in its ability to foster genuine connections, allowing listeners to multitask while absorbing valuable content. Empowering Voices and Sharing Stories One of the most powerful aspects of podcasting is its ability to give a platform to diverse voices. We shared personal experiences of how podcasting has allowed us to open up about deeply personal topics, from health struggles to life-changing moments. This vulnerability not only serves as a form of self-expression but also resonates with listeners who may be going through similar experiences. Building a Supportive Podcasting Community Our conversation highlighted the incredible sense of community within the podcasting world. From attending events like PodFest to connecting with guests and fellow podcasters, we've found a supportive network that feels like family. If you are looking for a supportive community to learn and grow in the world of podcasting, come join us in the Podcast Your Story Community Membership. Your Invitation to Join the Podcasting World Whether you're considering starting a podcast, becoming a guest, or simply exploring new shows to listen to, we hope our conversation inspires you to take action. Remember, your unique perspective and story matter - someone out there needs to hear what you have to say. Join us in celebrating the power of podcasting and the connections it creates. Who knows? Your voice might be the one that changes someone's life.
