Summary: One of the questions that I am asked most often is "How do I increase the number of people who subscribe to my podcast?" I usually point these folks to episode 254 where I discuss How To Grow Your Audience And Market Your Podcast!. My number one recommendation for growing your audience is to build a meaningful relationship with those who are already subscribed to your podcast. I attribute much of the success that I have had in growing my audience to my ability to connect with folks through the use of social media tools like Twitter, Facebook, etc. In this episode, Erik Fisher and I go into a lengthy discussion about the recent article from Poynter.org titled Science reveals what really increases Twitter followers. Personal Plug of The Week This week's personal plug of the week is Amy Porterfield's Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast. Amy is a recent graduate of my Podcasting A to Z course and she is knocking it out of the park with her new show. Amy is consistently hanging around the top ten spot in the Management and Marketing section of iTunes. I encourage you to check out her 7th episode titled How To Get More Facebook Fans. Upcoming Event Schedule One of my favorite things about traveling to, and speaking at conferences, is meeting members of my community. I always make it a point to host a community meetup wherever I travel. Below is a list of events that you might be interested in. If you can make it to any of these events, I'd love to have the opportunity to meet you. If you are not able to attend the event, but are in that area, I'd still love for you to come to the personal community meetup that I will host in that town.
