485. Is Promoting Your Podcast on YouTube Actually Worth It?

What if the missing piece in your podcast growth strategy is not more content, but where you are putting it? In this week’s mailbag episode, we dig into real listener questions about getting unstuck, staying consistent, and whether a podcast can actually be too conversational. Along the way, the conversation shifts to a bigger question many creators are asking right now: is promoting your podcast on YouTube actually worth it? We break down what works, what does not, and how to approach YouTube in a way that supports real growth. From small daily actions to building momentum over time, this episode highlights why structure, consistency, and serving real people will always outperform chasing quick wins or vanity metrics.Episode Highlights:[02:03] Housekeeping and Shoutouts[02:35] Hamilton Cover Art Fun[03:56] Renaming the Show[06:28] PMS Initials Debate[12:01] Eval Episodes Update[13:36] Mailbag Question on Avoidance[15:11] Ralphs First 30 Seconds Trick[17:50] Reduce Setup Friction[20:55] Stop Performing Start Recording[22:30] Flow State Timing and Boundaries[28:39] Accountability and Next Steps[29:15] Accountability Body Doubling[30:08] Ralphs Zoom Assistant Hack[31:50] Free Body Doubling Resources[33:52] Mailbag YouTube Promotion[34:55] Shorts and QnA Clips[37:30] SEO Question Based Clips[40:23] Ralphs 10 Dollar Ads Results[43:26] Paid Plus Organic Balance[44:58] Networking Gorilla Marketing[48:31] Community Clip Promotion Ideas[50:44] Create Your Own Luck[52:59] Serve People Grow Audience[55:26] Wrap Up Next EpisodeLinks & Resources: Rian Doris (CEO of FlowState) YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/riandorisThe Podcasting Morning Chat: ⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningchat.com⁠⁠Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcastingmorningchat.com/joinus/Meet the PMC Cast and Crew:⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningchat.com/people⁠⁠Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠Book A Free Call With Marc: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningchat.com/eval⁠⁠Join us every other Monday at 7 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠http://podcastingmorningchat.com/owp/⁠⁠Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 7 am ET (US) on ⁠Clubhouse⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningchat.com/clubhouse⁠⁠EPC3 Speaker Application:⁠⁠ ⁠https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakersPowered by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠⁠Please note that some links may be affiliate links, which support the hosts of the PMC.
