Disappearing Whales – The Fable and Folly Newsletter

Published: Mon, 10/25/21

Hello friends,

I hope you are all taking care of yourselves. As creators, it is easy to forget just how important our mental health and emotional reserves are. We can't do our best work if we are empty and exhausted.

Speaking of creating, we are a looking for a few good shows. And I share real results from a recent collaborative campaign that showcase why this is the single greatest podcast growth tool.

As always, hit reply if you want to connect. I love to hear what's resonating and also to meet creators working in this space.

Collab-licious Podcast Growth

I've spoken many times about the tools I use, but nothing compares to the power of a collaborative episode. And yet this remains a lesser known strategy in many podcast growth circles. So I'm going to share actual examples and campaign results in this article. Let's begin by defining what these collaborations are.

We are looking for a few good fiction producers.

Do you produce a fiction podcast that does 10k/week or higher in traffic? Are you looking for sponsorship representation that is transparent about how it represents your show and actually brings you opportunities? And gives you access to tools like a pro Chartable account, comprehensive training, onboarding and growth consulting? Hit reply.

Fiction podcasting is already one of the most influential parts of podcasting when you look at average daily downloads compared to "talk podcasts". And this is just the beginning.
