Can everyone see your show in search? Can YOU see your show in search? When you open Spotify or apple, does your podcast even show up?

If there was one thing I could change about podcasting, it would be that they would do a better job with their search engine. One of the advantages of YouTube that we dont talk much about is that YouTube is treated as a data base. You can type in a question and get video results. Podcasting is nothing like that, I can ask a question or list a topic and get results that have nothing to do with what I say.

So how do we get around this?

In this episode, I talk about:

+Tips for getting more eyes on your show

+The problem with podcast searchability

+Why being on YouTube might be an advantage for your show

What if you could pick and choose the people you wanted to network with? What if you could prequalify a lead and have a 30-minute relationship-building conversation with them? Would that help your business?

Podcasting is an amazing place where you can pick and choose the people you talk with. If you need to meet other professionals who can help you, you can have them on. If you are needing to generate leads for your business, you can have on potential clients and potential partners for other opportunities.

The only catch is you need to have a podcast to make it happen.

So let me ask you, are you leaving business on the table by not having one?

In this episode, I ask Angie about:

+The business benefits of having a podcast

+How to network as a podcaster

+The business that can take place between a well-chosen podcast guest and show host.
