Podcast Funnel: 5 steps

Key takeaways

  • Best for: Podcasters, Consultants using guest appearances, B2B thought leadership
  • 5 steps from episode to offer
  • Watch resource page visits, opt-in rate, subscriber-to-customer rate

Listeners can't click

Most people listen while doing something else. Your call to action must be short, memorable and easy to type later - a simple URL like yoursite.com/checklist.

Step-by-step build

  1. Create a resource related to each episode (or a series of episodes).
  2. Mention it naturally, once mid-episode and once at the end.
  3. Use a short, memorable URL that redirects to the resource page.
  4. Publish show notes with a summary, links and the opt-in.
  5. Follow up by email, continuing the topic of the episode.
  6. When guesting on other shows, offer a resource made for that audience.

FAQ

How do I track podcast listeners who sign up?

Use a unique short URL or landing page per episode or guest appearance, so opt-ins can be attributed.

  • Lead Magnet Funnel - Trade a genuinely useful free resource for an email address, then build trust with a short sequence before making an offer.
  • Webinar Funnel - Use a live or automated training session to teach, build belief and present an offer to a warmed-up audience.
  • Local Service Appointment Funnel - Turn local searches and ad clicks into booked jobs with a fast service page, quote form and automated follow-up.
