    Podcast Not Growing? You're Fixing the Wrong Problems

    Your podcast looks consistent. You're showing up, publishing episodes, doing everything you're supposed to do. But your downloads feel stuck, your leads are nonexistent, and growth feels completely random. Sound familiar? Here's what's happening: you're reacting to metrics instead of investigating what's blocking your podcast growth strategy. Before I ever worked in podcasting, I investigated fraud. And the number one rule I learned? The loudest clue is rarely the right one. In this episode, I'm showing you how to read your podcast data like an investigator, the three patterns I see in every stuck podcast, and how one client increased downloads by 61% by clarifying just three things. This is how you stop guessing and start growing. 00:00 – Why Isn't My Podcast Growing? The Investigation Problem  01:01 – What I Learned From Investigating Fraud  03:59 – Strategy Before Everything Else 05:12 – When I Stopped Playing Small 06:30 – The 61% Growth Story 08:20 – What a Podcast Growth Audit Actually Uncovers Check out the full show notes and resources at https://leahbryantco.com/podcast/podcast-growth-strategy-downloads-to-leads 📲 Have a question or win to share?

    Why Your Podcast Strategy Isn't Working

    Your podcast looks solid from the outside with consistent episodes, decent audio, and helpful content. But your downloads are stuck, and your leads are nonexistent. So what gives?  If your podcast growth strategy isn't working, you're probably fixing problems you haven't investigated yet. Most podcasters tweak titles and add platforms based on guesses, but what you actually need is evidence. In this episode, I'm showing you the three patterns blocking every stuck podcast and how to use your podcast listener data to find what's really broken. You'll learn how to investigate what's blocking your growth, how to turn podcast listeners into clients without more effort, and how one client went from zero leads to consistent momentum by clarifying just three things. 02:53 – The SEAMless Podcast Framework: Why Strategy Comes Before Attraction 04:11 – The Three Patterns I See in Every Stuck Podcast 04:53 – Pattern #1: Your Podcast Positioning Is Invisible 06:22 – How to Actually Investigate What's Blocking Growth 08:15 – What a Podcast Growth Audit Reveals (And What You Can Stop Doing)  Check out the full show notes and resources at https://leahbryantco.com/podcast/why-your-podcast-strategy-isnt-working 📲 Have a question or win to share?

    Convert Podcast Listeners Into Leads Without Being Salesy

    Your podcast is getting great feedback, people love your content...but you're not booking calls or getting lead inquiries. So what's missing? If your podcast isn't converting listeners into leads, the problem isn't your call to action but everything that came before it. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to turn listeners into clients without awkward pitching. You'll learn where your call to action actually belongs, the belief shift that makes your offer the obvious next step, and how one client went from zero leads to booking calls in two weeks by changing just three things. 02:27 – How to Plan a Podcast Episode That Converts 05:28 – The Belief Shift That Makes Your Offer the Obvious Next Step 08:04 – Where Your Podcast Call to Action Actually Belongs 09:19 – Client Example: How to Get Leads From Your Podcast in Two Weeks 10:41 – What Makes a Podcast Successful at Converting Listeners Check out the full show notes and resources at https://leahbryantco.com/podcast/convert-podcast-listeners-into-leads 📲 Have a question or win to share?

  4. How to Write Episode Descriptions That Get More Downloads

    How to Write Episode Descriptions That Get More Downloads

    If your podcast downloads feel stuck, your episode description might be the reason...even if your content is solid. Here's what most podcasters miss: your episode description isn't just a recap. It's how podcast apps and search engines understand what your episode is about and who it's for. When your description is weak, your podcast is whispering into the crowded internet streets while better-optimized shows get all the clicks. In this episode, I'm sharing one doable fix for your podcast episode description that boosts discoverability without recording a new episode or changing your entire podcast workflow. I'm also walking you through a real client example where rewriting just 10 descriptions led to a spike in downloads for older episodes with no new recordings, no extra promotion. Ready to make your podcast easier to find? Let's fix those descriptions. 00:00 – When Did You Last Read Your Episode Description? 01:32 – Your Episode Description Is NOT Just a Recap 03:10 – The One Description Fix That Boosts Podcast Downloads 04:12 – Write Episode Descriptions for Humans First, SEO Second 05:19 – Real Example: How Better Descriptions Increased Downloads 07:29 – Why This Lives in the Attraction Phase (Podcast Discoverability) 08:18 – Your Action Step: Fix One Episode Description Today Check out the full show notes and other resources at  https://leahbryantco.com/podcast/podcast-episode-description-fix/ 📲 Have a question or win to share?
