Why your podcast isn't getting you clients (and how to fix it)


Hey Podcaster!

You're putting out great podcast content every week. Your audio is clean, your topics are solid, and your guests are impressive.

But here's the hard truth: downloads don't equal dollars.

If your podcast isn't bringing in clients, it's missing one critical ingredient: a strategic call to action.

Most podcasters make the mistake of treating their show like a broadcast instead of a business tool. They wrap up episodes with a generic "follow me on Instagram" or "check out my website."

But your listeners need more direction than that.

Here's what actually works:

→ Be specific about who you help and how

→ Make one clear offer per episode

→ Tell them exactly what to do next (book a call, grab a free resource, join your email list)

→ Put that link in your show notes and say it out loud

Your podcast should be working FOR your business, not just adding to your workload.

At The Business Podcast Editor, we help you structure your show to drive real results.

Reader!!! You know I’m all about helping podcasters work smarter, not harder. So when I met Adam Peters, a retired Army vet turned automation wizard, I knew I had to bring him on the show.
