354: Why Every Course Creator Should Start A Podcast

If you have ever considered creating an online course, or if you are already a course creator, you have probably thought a lot about marketing that course. The challenge is how to be thoughtful and creative in marketing your course, which becomes a separate income stream for your business. Starting a podcast is one of the best ways to market your course while creating a solid, compound income stream, and we are talking strategy today as I share what I’ve learned through my experience. Join us!

You’ll Learn:

  • Why starting a podcast has been one of the most rewarding personal and professional endeavors of my life
  • Why podcasts are the perfect way to produce authentic, evergreen content and establish trust
  • How a podcast becomes a way to avoid burnout and take self-care breaks while staying consistent with releasing and re-releasing content
  • How podcasts allow dynamic ads, which are pure magic (Captivate makes it easy!) and help build your email list
  • How the podcasting format allows pre-roll, mid-roll, and end-roll ads to market your courses/resources consistently
  • How the “flywheel effect” serves to compound your efforts over time if you leverage your existing course students on your podcast

Profile picture for Melvin Varghese, PhD

Melvin Varghese, PhD

Hi. I'm Melvin. I'm a psychologist, girl dad, and online creator living in Philadelphia, PA.

In 2014, I began to think about how to use our therapist skillset in different realms besides clinical work (e.g., podcasting, consulting, online course creation, writing, etc).

This allows us to serve others on larger scales while diversifying our income beyond 1 to 1 work.

I make podcasts and videos about business, tech, productivity, and lessons I'm learning from becoming the CEO of a lean, mean 5 person 100% remote team (we're not really mean..it just rhymed =P).
