How Much Should You Actually Teach Inside Your Podcast Episodes?
Episode 351 | Insider Secrets to a Top 100 Podcast | Courtney Elmer
You’ve been told to make your podcast content “valuable,” but if you're teaching step-by-step (hoping that if you give away enough value for free, your inbox will be flooded with messages from people asking how to work with you), unfortunately that’s not how it works.
Listeners won’t hire you if they feel like they already got everything they came for. So where’s the line between giving enough and giving too much? How much can you share on your podcast without hurting conversions? And if you don’t have a business yet (or you're still figuring out how to monetize your podcast), how do you avoid giving so much away that there's nothing left to sell?
If you’re ready to stay out of the “free coach” zone and build real demand for your work without undercutting your value, hit play and let’s dive in.
