Jenna Spinelle, the host and producer of the podcast Democracy Works, sees strong parallels between journalism and podcast marketing. In an article for Timber.fm, Spinelle blends the reporter's toolbox with the podcast playbook, sharing concrete examples of both online and offline engagement.
Many conventional promotion methods focus on quantity over quality, Spinelle points out. Journalists model “a better way to find not just an audience, but people who will become true fans.” She explains how to leverage Reddit, professional associations, and events to build relationships and demonstrate your value.
“Just like in journalism, credibility is so important when you are trying to build an audience from scratch, as many indie podcasters are,” Spinelle writes. “Everything is staked on your actions and the reputation you cultivate for yourself.” Note: Timber for Podcasters requires a free signup for access.
