Using a Podcast as a Marketing Tool – Small Business Show 228

Are Podcasts a good marketing tool for your Small Business? Can you connect with your customers on a different level by hosting your own Podcast and if so, how do you get started? Join us today on this episode of the Small Business Show to find out about this topic and more. Podcasts are increasingly popular. Over 51% of the US population has listened to a Podcast and 31% of the population have listened to a Podcast in the last month. 62 million people listen to Podcasts each week. One of the key aspects of Podcast success is the niche audience. There are over 750,000 Podcasts out there with most covering very specific topics. You know we believe that the riches are in the niches. A Podcast is a new way to connect with your existing and potential customers – not everyone has time to read your blog posts, and not everyone is following you on social media. Join us today and hear your hosts Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton discuss how to get started, what topics to discuss and much more. Listen in and then join us at the Small Business Show support group to ask questions and to share your own tips.
