Description

Unlike other podcasts about podcasting that only cover the basics like tech and logistics, here you won't find the kind of podcasting tips you can get on Google. 


Because if high-quality audio, publishing valuable episodes every week, and "staying consistent" was the secret to a profitable top podcast, then that would mean everyone who spent over $100 on a mic and gives their best stuff away for free in every episode would be ranking in the Top 100 every week — and we both know that's not the case.


So if you're a coach, consultant, or online expert who wants to start a podcast that actually gets noticed (or if you've already launched but you’re still getting less than 1k downloads per episode and aren’t converting as many leads as you want) you're in the right place.


As a Forbes-featured Top 1% podcast host who's been dubbed “The Podcast Whisperer'' by CEO Weekly, Courtney Elmer is known as the leading authority on the psychology behind what makes podcasts succeed (or fail). After spending more than four years studying what separates successful podcasts from the ones that go unnoticed, Courtney and her team have helped over 60+ business owners and experts rank their podcasts in the Top 100 and turn their show into their #1 source of organic leads by applying the science of human behavior and psychology to podcasting.


Ready to learn what separates today's top podcasts from the ones that go unnoticed so you can create a bingeworthy show that people are actually excited to listen to, rank your podcast in the charts every week, reach a global audience with your message, and convert more listeners into clients and customers? Hit play and let's dive in.



Guests Include: Jordan Harbinger, John Lee Dumas, Gay Hendricks, Hal Elrod, Alex Sanfilippo, Adam Adams, Grant Baldwin, Josh Elledge, Deirdre Tshien, Brandon Lucero, James Wedmore, Kate Northrup, Stacy Tuschl, Katherine Beck, Jennifer Kem, Sara Wiles, Kate Erickson, and more.


Popular Episode Topics Include: Starting a Podcast, Growing a Podcast, Increasing Listener Engagement, Creating Bingeworthy Podcast Content, Ranking Your Podcast in The Top 100, Podcast Launch Strategy, Podcast Monetization Strategies, Podcast Messaging, Podcast Positioning, Podcast Audience Growth
