The Podcast Monetization Blueprint: Tamara Thompson on YouTube Growth, Strategy & Authority Building (Ep. 18)

What does it really take to grow a podcast, attract the right audience, and turn your content into meaningful revenue? In this episode of The Beyond Impact Podcast, Colin Egglesfield sits down with Tamara Thompson, founder of Broadcast Your Authority, to explore the strategy behind sustainable podcast growth and monetization. Tamara shares her journey from filmmaker to content marketing strategist and explains why successful podcasting isn’t about simply showing up with a microphone. It’s about clarity, consistency, optimization, and aligning your content with your core offers. Together, they discuss how short-form content drives long-form visibility, why batching episodes creates momentum, and how business owners can leverage YouTube to generate real client conversions — not just views. Tamara also breaks down the difference between building influence and building income, and why the most successful podcasts focus on attracting the right audience rather than chasing viral moments.
