Your podcast is NOT your product, it's the raw material for your social media strategy... AT FIRST.
Podcasts are slow to grow, but nurture a loyal audience. But you must first tempt them in with bitesized chunks before they're going to spend a big portion of time with you.
Something I noticed then @garyvee was talking about.
Carousel Instagram posts. Reels are still the best to bring in new users. But carousels give your existing audience the chance to not engage the first time and then get a second chance with a new slide.
Reels have the advantage of being upto 90 seconds long where Story videos last 15 seconds and disappear after an hour.
The algorithm is also more suited for reaching a new audience as apposed to Posts are more for your current audience.
