Podcasting, Paid Ads, and Community are IN; Social Media is OUT | Rachel Duncan | Ep 61

Get a rare look into what’s working behind the scenes of a growing financial therapy practice, complete with a funnel walk-through, how much she’s spending on ads (spoiler alert! It’s very affordable), and what specific steps she’s taken to strengthen the connection her followers feel with her.   Rachel Duncan opens up about the tools & processes she uses and how she thoughtfully and intentionally designed her marketing strategy for her financial therapy practice to avoid a reliance on social media.     Redefining Podcasting Through Community Building  Rather than interviewing guests on her podcast, Rachel opted for the opportunity to answer voicemails on-air, helping listeners feel like active participants rather than passive recipients.
