5 Proven Ways to Attract Podcast Listeners and Grow Your Show
Here's what you can expect from this episode:
Is your podcast magnetic or just… invisible?
If you’re pouring your heart into great content but still wondering where the listeners are, this episode will help you attract podcast listeners with clarity, strategy, and ease.
Because here’s the truth: even the most brilliant show won’t grow if no one knows it exists.
In this episode of Podcasting Problem Solver™, we’re diving into the “A” of my SEAMless Podcast Framework™—Attraction—and breaking down how to help the right people find, follow, and fall in love with your podcast.
Whether you’ve already launched or you’re still in planning mode, these practical strategies will help your podcast stop hiding in plain sight—and start pulling in the right audience with intention.
If you’ve ever said:
“Why isn’t anyone listening?”
“I’m doing everything… but it’s not growing.”
“I hate promoting myself—where do I start?” …this one’s for you.
Inside, I’m sharing the exact growth strategies I teach my coaching clients, from simple SEO tips to strategic pre-launch buzz, to creating a visibility plan that works with your life, not against it.
Here’s what’s covered
How to Attract Podcast Listeners with Less Effort
[00:01:17] What the Attraction phase really means
Podcast success isn’t just about great content. It’s about connection. This section unpacks how to make your show findable, follow-worthy, and shareable, without adding 10 more things to your plate.
[00:02:01] Speak to one listener, not everyone
The shows that grow? They’re not vague. They’re dialed in. You’ll learn how to define your niche, clarify your promise, and create a show that makes your dream listener say, “This is exactly what I needed.”
[00:04:48] Podcast SEO… without the overwhelm
No stuffing. No jargon. Just practical ways to title your episodes, write descriptions, and weave in keywords that help your show get found in Apple, Spotify… naturally.
[00:08:41] Build pre-launch buzz (or weekly episode momentum)
Whether you’re launching or just posting weekly, you’ll learn how to generate excitement before your episode goes live, so you’re not met with silence on drop day.
[00:11:36] Why sharing is part of your visibility plan
Your content should be easy to share. I’ll show you how to make that happen with repurposing tips, social-ready quotes, and prompts that turn passive listeners into vocal fans.
[00:21:43] A visibility plan that doesn’t rely on hustle
If you’re avoiding promotion because you don’t have the energy, this part is for you. We’ll cover how to choose your best platforms, batch with ease, and repurpose without reinventing the wheel.
[00:23:41] Automate what you can, simplify what you can’t
From ClickUp to Flodesk, I’ll walk through how we use automation tools with our clients so growth doesn’t feel like a second job.
[00:25:59] Attraction is more than SEO, it’s trust
This episode closes with a reminder: visibility isn’t about vanity. It’s about becoming the go-to voice your audience trusts, and showing up with purpose (even when energy is low).
Whether you’re stuck in the “podcast content hamster wheel” or finally ready to grow your audience with intention, this episode gives you the clarity and next steps you need.
Because podcast growth doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when you plan for Attraction on purpose.
