So you are thinking of starting a podcast for your business? It's one of the best reasons to gain notoriety and establish value for your community. But starting a podcast doesn’t mean it will bring success all on its own. A lack of monetization can quickly make a podcaster doubt the benefits.  We all want to see results when we venture in new endeavours and unfortunately when we don’t see those returns on investment (ROI) it's easy to lose steam.

When you approach your podcast with the right mindset and strategy, it truly can get you more clients and partnerships. On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 230, my guests John Corcoran and Jeremy Weisz of Rise25 join me to discuss some of the ways you can leverage a podcast to create even more opportunities as well as land new clients.

One of those tips is to invite guests to your show that add value to your business, such as collaborative partners. Partners often share your target audience and will help you boost up listeners fast! For the full list of techniques, listen in now so you can start to get that ROI.

Being a published author is one of the five best says to elevate your authority and attract clients to your superpower. When someone reads your book, not only do they start to unlock the keys to their dream life or business, but they also see the author as a trusted advisor.

Some of the most talented experts  have books stuck in their head. Others write a book they believe will make a great impact but they are left with boxes of books stacked in their garage.

Writing a transformational book that impacts your audience is what we all want...and my guest on Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 229, Christine Kloser, reveals how to write a transformational book that could impact the lives of millions.
