How to Turn Your Podcast Listeners into Customers

October 08, 2020 by Nina Medanić

These last few years, podcasts seem to be a pretty popular medium. They are on a few different platforms and are about anything and everything. Anybody can find a podcast that can interest them. There are podcasts about lifestyle, fitness, health, sports, business, and much, much more. You can stream your podcast on Youtube, Soundcloud, Spotify, or any other livestreaming app… It is really such a versatile medium. You don’t have to be home to enjoy it. You can listen to a podcast while driving, while working out, walking your dog. You don’t need the experience to do it, and it is relatively easy and inexpensive to get started. 

Podcast

It comes as no surprise that a lot of celebrities and influencers also have their own podcasts. One of the more famous ones is Joe Rogan’s podcast. However, you certainly don’t have to be Joe Rogan to have a successful podcast. If you have an idea and you think people would like it, just do it. There is nothing to lose, and the possibilities are endless. See if people like your content and go from there. 

So, you tried it out, and you gained an audience. Now you could be thinking about how you could monetize your podcast. 

How could you get your listeners to become your customers? Promoting your #business on #podcast could be the right way to make your business grow. Click To Tweet 

Turning listeners into customers

You want to have listeners that will visit your website, click your links, and ultimately become your customers. Make sure that you hook new listeners who are finding out about you for the first time. Talk about things that are relevant to your business and can also help your future customers. When you present your service as something that can help your listeners, they will be more likely to visit your site.

Many podcasts are guest interviews. Being a guest on another person’s podcast is a good starting point for getting new customers. On that podcast, you could easily promote your business. However, be careful not to overpower the host. 

Moreover, when talking about your work, focus on one Call-To-Action(CTA). Don’t bombard the listeners with too much information about your brand. It is not likely they will actually go to your website or look up what you are offering. Instead, give out one most important CTA, for example, just your website URL.

Another great way of turning listeners into customers is by doing your research and showing your knowledge. Find out what is your target audience and what kind of audience could benefit from becoming your customer. Once you have done your research, promote your business in a way that would make your listeners feel like they are missing out on something if they don’t become customers. Also, create suitable “lead magnets, “something that will turn listeners into leads and leads into customers. You want something good enough to build an email list.
