Hey @ShaanVP & @thesamparr👋
I noticed you’ve been testing new intros for the pod, but the response hasn’t been ideal
So, I re-edited the intro of an older episode to show what might work better
I’d love to share my ideas in more detail—until then, enjoy the re-edit

Top-tier creators and executives still answer when you lead with clear value and real proof of work.
All good trailers have 2 thing in common:
Good storytelling and even better execution
Just stitching together the best moments isn't enough to hold retention, the editing needs to match the emotion
DM to level up your podcast game
If your B2B podcast already gets traction on audio, staying audio-only leaves massive distribution on the table.
Consumption has shifted heavily to video. Both X and LinkedIn are aggressively pushing native long-form video in the feed right now alongside YouTube.
The distribution playbook:
> Record the full episode on camera
> Post the full-length video natively on YouTube
> Upload the identical video directly to X and LinkedIn
Most podcasts record 2 hours, guess a title from their favorite topic, and wonder why the episode gets 15k views.
How we package episodes across 100M+ views:
> Post 20-30 clips from the episode before the full episode
> Let 48 hours of audience data stress-test the hooks
> Build the episode's title, thumbnail, and first 45-second hook around that winner
Every full release goes out with a verified viral premise instead of a guess.
Paying clipping agencies $2 to $3 CPM is burning money.
Running clipping campaigns:
> You rent someone else's channels
> Views stop the second you stop paying
> Zero editorial judgment on brand retention
> Attribution is completely broken
A dedicated repurposing engine:
> You keep the accounts, channels, and subscribers
> Cost per view drops to zero as the channel grows
> Winning clips tell you exactly how to package future full episodes
you literally just have to post more
if you know WHAT can you post, how it adds to your brand, and if it BENEFITS sales, its all about volume
I can spend 15 minutes on a post and it gets 300 views
recently I wrote some random post within 5 minutes while replying to DMs, and it got 80k views, got me 40 inbounds, and so far closed me 3 clients
just post
A dedicated repurposing team beats any clipping campaign
> You own the views
> Cost per view drops as channel grows
> More control over what gets put out
> Data on what's working and what's not
If you're thinking of starting a second clips channel for your podcast and don't have the time for it
Just get an agency to run it for a % of adsense
They win only if you win!
Only two things make a podcast go viral:
1. Volume
2. Omnipresence
Post 100+ clips a week across every platform and watch the numbers climb in real time
Podcasts doing 300K+ views: it's a no-brainer to have a second channel for 15-20 min clips
> More reach from the same recording
> More inventory to sell sponsors
> Data on which angles to package episodes around
> Agency runs it for a % of AdSense
The only way to win on social media is VOLUME!
Post 30 clips a day instead of 3
The algorithm tells you what works and what doesn't
In a month you'll know what performs better than any strategist could guess
If you run a Podcast this is how your repurposing should look like:
1. Record
2. Post 20-40 clips across platforms
3. Find the winners and why they won
4. Package the full episode around the winning clip
5. Post 15-min cuts of the winners on a second channel
6. Recreate those moments with future guests
7. Repeat.
Option A:
Pay $2-3 cpm to a clipping agency
You don't own the accounts
Hard to track attribution
High chance for your campaign to be unfulfilled
Option B:
Get a dedicated repurposed team
You own the accounts and its reach
Attribution is easy to track
Cheaper than clipping campaign
You don't need to run clipping campaigns!
What you need is a dedicated repurposing team
Instead of paying $2-3 cpm for a clipping campaign
Get 20 clips per episode, 3 different variations each and post them on fan-styled accounts cross-platform
That comes out to 60+ posts a day, running consistently unlike clipping campaigns that stop once the target views are met
Having a dedicated team will cost you less in the long run if your content is good
Podcasts pulling 200-300K views who aren't posting 100+ clips a week are limiting their reach
Multiple profiles across all platforms posting 15+ clips a day
5 on twitter
5 on youtube
5 on instagram
Do this for 3 months and you'll see your views climb up in real time
