Hey Innovators,
For years, Iāve been obsessed with systems that donāt just workāthey compound. And nothing has done that better for me than podcasting.
Letās get one thing straight: podcasting isnāt just content creation. Itās the ultimate growth engine. Hereās how my system works:
Step 1: Build the Flywheel šļø
Your podcast isnāt just a podcastāitās a trust-building funnel. Each episode is an entry point into your network.
Hereās what I do:
High-value guests: I book CEOs, founders, and operators who fit my Ideal Customer Persona (ICP). These arenāt just random namesātheyāre decision-makers in B2B with big TAMs and even bigger ambitions.
Purpose-driven interviews: Every conversation is designed to uncover insights that resonate deeply with my audience while creating massive goodwill with my guests.
Step 2: Lead Gen Through Content šÆ
Each episode feeds multiple channels:
Snippets and shorts: Platforms like OpusClip turn episodes into viral YouTube and LinkedIn clips.
Newsletters: Insights are repackaged into bite-sized takeaways for LinkedIn, Beehiiv, and email campaigns.
Social Proof: Sharing quotes and guest profiles builds authority and draws in new leads.
Pro tip: My real lead gen engine is in the follow-ups. Each guest and listener gets pulled into my CRM for thoughtful, automated outreach.
Step 3: Monetization (Where Most Fail) šø
Most podcasts fail because they focus on downloads and views. Wrong game.
Hereās what works:
Guest-to-client conversion: 5% of my guests turn into clients. Why? I structure my episodes and follow-ups to naturally lead to collaborations.
Sponsored snippets: My shorts arenāt just contentātheyāre sponsor-ready.
Insights into products: Some of my podcast ideas have directly inspired SaaS products and offers that now generate 6-figure revenue streams.
Step 4: Scale Through Automation š¤
Podcasting doesnāt scale? Wrong again. Hereās how I do it:
Cold email flywheel: I use tools like Instantly and Apollo to reach thousands of potential guests weekly.
AI research assistants: Prepping for interviews is no longer manual. GPT extracts the most relevant insights about my guests.
Automated CRM workflows: Every guest gets funneled through HubSpot, with personalized follow-ups designed to maximize ROI.
The ROI of Podcasting š
With this system, my podcast isnāt just āanother channel.ā Itās responsible for 70% of my annual revenue.
This year, my goal is simple:
1,000 qualified CEO leads/month ā 10% conversion rate ā guess how much $ MRR is added monthly..
