Hey, Reader.

Quick question. When's the last time you typed "how do I grow my podcast" into Google? Or asked ChatGPT which tool to use, how to get more listeners, whether your episodes are even landing, or how to know if things are going in the right direction?

You get a list of generic tips. And you still don't know if what you're doing is actually working.

That's exactly why I built The Podcast Cafe. It's a community for podcasters who want real answers from people who've actually grown shows. And the next few months are STACKED.

Here's what's coming up:

☕ Podcast SEO 101 with Brittany Herzberg | Sept 24​
How people actually find podcasts, and how to make sure yours shows up. Keywords, titles, show descriptions, and what it takes to start ranking in the charts.

☕ Be a Guest, Grow Your Show with Dustin Riechmann | Oct 22​
You're already a host. Being a guest on other shows is one of the fastest ways to grow your own audience, if you have a plan. Dustin Riechmann will lead members through a strategy to generate premium clients through podcast guesting and related partnerships.

☕ Email Marketing for Podcasters with Kit | Nov 12​
Downloads that lead to emails convert! Your email list is the audience you own. Learn how to turn listeners into subscribers and subscribers into clients, using the episodes you're already making.

Every training is live, so you can bring your actual show and your actual questions. Can't make it? The replay is waiting for you inside.

And this isn't a Facebook group where you post your intro and hear crickets.

Here's what's happening inside:

• Two live trainings every month, with experts I bring in
• Ask me questions anytime, not just on calls
• Real feedback on your episodes from podcasters who get it
• Guest swaps and collabs with other hosts. No posting and ghosting. Everyone here shows up for each other.
• You give feedback, you get feedback. That's how this room works.

I'm in there every day, and so is the room.

If you have an active podcast, whether you're 5 episodes in or 150, there's a seat for you. It's $47/month, and every training above is included.

I review every application myself, in the order they come in. If you want in before the SEO training today, apply now so I can get you in on time.

There's room for all of us. There's room to grow. That's what this room is for.

Talk soon,
Hayleigh

P.S. That guest training on its own is worth it. You'll leave with a pitch you can send the same day, and a room full of hosts to send it to. Next month's training inside The Podcast Cafe is all about podcast guesting.

The Podcast Cafe is the room I built for podcasters who are done Googling their way through growth alone. You get the training, real feedback on your show, and a room of people who've actually done this ~ guesting included.
