You know your listeners are out there, if only you can get in front of them and catch their attention.
When you try to push your message out, you quickly get overwhelmed: Is this the right message for your audience? Why aren’t your calls to action working? What even is SEO?

In Lesson 2, we walk you through why you need to interview your audience and building your listener avatar to help you better understand your ideal listener.

Your brand is an essential part of the marketing strategy for your podcast, and it needs to go beyond your own personality.
