Podcasting for Course Creators
Use podcasting to build trust, grow your audience, and sell more courses — even if you've never recorded a single episode. Learn interview strategy, podcast SEO, repurposing workflows, and the monetization models that turn listeners into students.
What You’ll Learn
Podcasting is the deepest-trust medium available to course creators. Listeners invite you into their commute, their workout, their kitchen — and 76% of them finish every episode. No other content format comes close to that level of engagement.
This course shows you how to plan, launch, and grow a podcast that feeds your course business — without becoming a full-time podcaster or spending thousands on equipment.
You’ll discover:
- Why 100 podcast listeners are worth more than 5,000 Instagram followers
- The three podcast formats and which one serves your course sales strategy
- How to book guests who have audiences you want to reach (even if your show is brand new)
- Interview technique — the preparation and follow-up questions that make episodes memorable
- Being a great podcast guest — you don’t need your own show to leverage the medium
- Podcast SEO: getting found in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube (the #1 discovery platform in 2026)
- The repurposing flywheel: one 30-minute episode becomes blog posts, social clips, email content, and lead magnets
- Four monetization models beyond course sales — sponsorships, affiliates, premium feeds, and the PBS model
- Why 75% of podcasts fail (podfade) and how to be in the 25% that don’t
