Any Easy Way To Get More Audience

This newsletter contains affiliate links. Not all of them, but some of them. I earn a small commission, and it doesn’t cost you anything. I call that a win-win.

Here is a very easy way to get more audience. You ready?

Don’t quit.

Here is an example. I love Bandrew Scott and his Bandrew Says show. He was my #1 guy when I wanted an opinion about gear. Bandrew has decided to take a break and I hope he is happy, healthy, and living the live he deserves. His last video was 11 months ago.

So what did I do?

I found another resource.

That guy is Tom Buck. Tom (like Bandrew) is a bit goofy, silly, and in depth and HONEST when it comes to gear reviews. Don’t get me wrong, Curtis Judd is also in-depth when it comes to gear reviews (and my number 2 guy). But he’s not goofy (and I don’t want him to be, he is being Curtis). Tom is a former High School Teacher turned full time YouTuber and leans much heavier into video than I do (which is why I like him). He is on my bucket list of potential guests.

So I’ve known about Tom for a long time, and I’ve been a subscriber for years, but it wasn’t until Bandrew took a pause, that he moved up my ranks. The more I watched him, the more I liked him (it’s that “Deliver value” thing I always talk about).

So keep this in mind when you take breaks between seasons (I’m on episode 1044 of season 1, and haven’t missed a Monday for this very reason). That you can be replaced.

One way to grow your audience? Don’t quit (and try to get better with each episode).


We all hate those bad pitches, but now you can use them to get some exposure for your show. Just read the bad pitch (leave out the names, cause I don’t want to be sued) and explain why it’s bad, and who your preferred guest would be.
Leave your story here.


Podcast not growing as fast as you want? I’ve repackaged the “Podcast Hot Seat" (including a price change) and made it more ala cart. We all miss our own mistakes because we are too close to the content. Pull your car into the podcast garage, and let me take a peak at it. See www.fixmypodcast.com
