Today we're talking about how to launch a successful podcast with a pressure launch and why you should make launch day such a big deal!
Quick Strategy Tips:
• Launch with 4-8 interviews
• Make them short, and easy to listen to at 8-12 minutes long (to maximize downloads and increase 'binge-worthy-ness')
• Choose guests that have a large, engaged audience that will promote your show to their following through their email list and socials
• Use strategic and ethical bribes to gain reviews on launch day (think competitions, giveaways, and freebies)
Your Key Take Away
On launch day, aim for....
➤ 50-100 podcast reviews
➤ 100-200 downloads
➤ 40-50 subscribers

-Reason 1 Your Podcast will get into the Top 200
-Reason 2 If your interviewee is part of the 1st eight episodes, they will get a lot of value because people come back & consume those beginning episodes & because your podcast is going to launch to a great big audience, there will be extra exposure
-Reason 3 Every guest that comes on your launch will be promoting the show to their list which means a lot of traffic in the first couple of days
-Reason 4 Because there is a lot of traffic you may get to the number 1 spot in your category for that week, which will give you even more exposure. This is not for certain, it depends how you promote your podcast.
-Reason 5 You’re part of a Podcast programme where you are paying an expert a lot of money to help launch your podcast into the Top 200 of your category. There are 12 people going through this journey with you and you’re all combining together to do a mass Podcast movement summit, so this is great for your interviewees exposure. And the interviewee can pitch their show at the end of the Podcast.
