Wavve Insights: The Benefits of Cross-Promotion for Podcast Growth

Have friends in the podcasting space? If not, it's not a bad idea to make a few.

One extremely effective strategy to boost your podcast’s reach is cross-promotion, which involves partnering with other podcasters or platforms to mutually promote each other’s content.

​Wavve explains how cross-promotion can benefit your podcast growth and provides some practical ways to implement it.


Bonus Wavve Knowledge: Learn From the Multi-Pronged Approach of Vox

Cross-promotion doesn't have to be just between separate podcasts. If you prefer to be a podcasting lone wolf, you can still promote your podcast effectively by employing several platforms.

Vox's Explain It To Me series combines a weekly podcast, newsletter, and video series. It's a smart way to reach an audience, and build loyalty. Vox knows what they're doing, and it's not a bad idea to follow their lead.

Consider combining some (or all) of these platforms as an approach to reach a bigger audience:

  • Regular podcast releases
  • A robust website built for SEO
  • Regularly scheduled newsletter emails (once you build an email list)
  • A video presence on YouTube
  • Active social media accounts
