If you’ve reached a plateau in your digital marketing agency’s growth, you need an innovative strategy to reach more clients and market your business. Podcasting could be the answer.
At the Seven Figure Agency, we strongly believe in the power of creating digital marketing podcasts to grow and scale your agency. This process doesn’t need to be overly time-consuming or involved, but it has the potential to take your agency’s performance to the next level.
Why Create a Podcast as a Digital Marketing Agency Owner?
Creating a podcast may seem like an obscure strategy to market your agency, but if you have read any of the best books on digital marketing, you’ll find that the most successful marketers have podcasts — and they have had them for years.
Launching a podcast that centers around your agency’s niche boasts all of these benefits:
Position Yourself as an Industry Leader
When you listen to a podcast, you naturally think of the host as an expert or leader in the topic they are discussing. Hosting a podcast that centers around your niche, whether it’s plumbing and HVAC or healthcare, will position you as a marketing leader in that industry.
When business owners in your niche search for marketing resources, they will find your podcast. Then, when they find out that they can also hire your agency for marketing services, they’ll feel like they’ve won the lottery.
Attract Clients Consistently
Your podcast is a marketing tool in itself. It gets your name into a space where your potential clients are lurking. It also serves as a platform to highlight your expertise and the value of your services. All of these benefits help you attract your ideal clients and fill your schedule.
Simplify Content Creation
Your podcast will give you valuable content that you can use in other aspects of your content creation strategy. Turn clips of your podcasts into shorts for YouTube or TikTok, transform your podcast script into a blog post, share the transcript as an interview in your email marketing campaign, or upload the entire podcast episode to YouTube.
Build Powerful Connections
A digital marketing podcast gives you an outlet to connect with big names in your niche. You can interview industry influencers, stakeholders, potential clients, and other professionals, serving as a bridge to new partnerships and collaborations. Being associated with these industry leaders will broaden your influence and highlight your expertise by default.
How To Start Your Agency Podcast
It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the idea of starting a podcast and continually push back your start date. But this process does not need to be cumbersome. Your main goal is to create valuable content consistently, and there’s nothing wrong with learning as you go.
Get started with these simple steps:
- Choose your format: Think about how you will conduct your podcast: on Zoom, in person, or through another platform. Then, research the best strategies for your chosen platform.
- Gather the tools and platforms: You don’t need the fanciest tools on the market, but having a good microphone is key to running a high-quality podcast. You must also select where you will host your audio files (such as Amazon S3) and which platforms you will post on (such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.)
- Consider content syndication: Plan how you will syndicate your podcast across different channels. For example, you may post each podcast episode to YouTube as well.
- Create a guest selection strategy: Start sending invites to potential guests. You can work out the details of the interview after a guest has agreed to join.
- Brainstorm topic ideas: Keep a list of potential topics, like marketing news, key marketing strategies, tips for running a business successfully, or topics specific to your niche.
Commit to producing at least one podcast episode per month. You can syndicate that content to different platforms throughout the month to maximize its value.
