3: Tips on Growing Your Listening Community | Wayne Henderson

I don’t know about you, but I sure love to connect with my listeners.  I LOVE building community!  As podcasters, we all ask the questions – “How can I connect with my listeners on a deeper level?”  “How can I grow my listener community?”  “How can I better interact with my listeners?”  “How do I build loyalty with my listeners?”

When I initially started Profitcast, I thought I’d only be talking about how to monetize your podcast.  I was surprised to see that podcasters equally wanted to learn how to master the listening community dilemmas.  Not to mention that in order to profit with a podcast, building your listener community is ESSENTIAL!

That’s why we’re talking with Wayne Henderson today!  He’s got some great tips to growing your listener community!

My Crazy Theory – Further thoughts

My theory has been, regardless of whether you’re a young podcaster or a super-experienced podcaster, you’ve got at least one, if not more, nugget of wisdom that will help all of us in developing a large and loyal audience and having the privilege of generating income with our podcast.

As I’ve been interviewing other podcasters, I am ALREADY blown away at the nuggets of wisdom each of these podcasters have!  We’re only three episodes in and one week from launch and WOW.  I’m already seeing this theory prove true!
