Facebook groups have been a go-to tool for building community, but lately, many podcasters are asking: are they still worth it? The reality is, Facebook groups can still be incredibly powerful—if you know how to use them the right way. It’s not just about having a group, it’s about creating a space where people actually want to spend time. In this episode, Sarah, an expert in community engagement, breaks down how podcasters can make Facebook groups work. She shares what’s working, what’s shifting, and how to build a thriving group that fuels your podcast’s growth. Here's what you need to know about making your Facebook group work: Facebook groups are a two-way street. Booms and quiet periods are normal: not every post is going to take off, and that’s okay. A group won’t grow on its own. You have to show up consistently, start discussions, and create momentum. Treat it like a launch. If you want an active community, go all in at the beginning. Bring your podcast into your Facebook group, whether it’s through live discussions, behind-the-scenes content, or interactive posts. Going live and hearing crickets can feel discouraging, but it doesn’t mean your group isn’t working. Facebook groups aren’t dead—but the way we use them matters. By focusing on connection, engagement, and strategy, podcasters can turn their groups into thriving communities that support their show’s growth.

Kristin is breaking down the essentials of your podcast intro and outro. The intro is the very first thing your listeners hear—it’s your welcome mat. It’s your chance to introduce yourself, let listeners know what your podcast is about, and set the tone for the rest of the episode. As we wrap up, let’s talk about the outro. This is where you leave a lasting impression. It's your opportunity to thank your listeners, give them a call to action, and encourage them to take the next step—whether that's subscribing, leaving a review, or following you on social media. The beauty of both the intro and outro is that they’re flexible. You can evolve them as your show grows. Together, they create a smooth, polished flow from start to finish, helping you leave your audience with a strong, lasting connection.

Email marketing is more than just sending newsletters—it’s a powerful way to continue conversations and build deeper connections with your audience. But making it work isn’t just about sending more emails. It takes strategy, clarity, and knowing exactly how to engage your audience in a way that drives action. In this episode, Jen, a seasoned marketing expert, shares the most effective email marketing strategies for podcasters. Jen explains what’s working, what’s shifting, and how to make email a tool that actually supports your podcast’s growth. Here’s what you need to know about making email marketing work for your podcast: Email is about connection, not just promotion. Don’t send emails just to fill space—every message should be engaging, valuable, and to the point. Lead magnets matter. Think about whose emails you always open—what makes them stand out? Email marketing isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing it better . By focusing on connection, clarity, and consistency, podcasters can use email to engage their audience in a way that leads to real growth.

Every podcaster faces this at some point—it’s inevitable. Negative reviews happen. But what do we do when they come? How do we handle them? How do we respond? It’s easy for criticism to feel personal. You’ve poured your heart into your podcast, and suddenly, someone tears it down with a few harsh words. But before letting it shake you, take a step back. In today’s episode, Kristin shares her thoughts and her process for handling negative feedback with both confidence and grace. She lays out five practical steps to navigate this.Because at the end of the day, someone out there needs your voice and your experiences. Not every review is about you. Sometimes, criticism says more about the person leaving it. Hurt people hurt people. But that doesn’t mean you stop. Keep showing up. Keep speaking. Because your message matters.

Facebook ads are more than just promotions—they’re a powerful tool to amplify what’s already working in your business. But making them work requires more than just a budget. It takes a solid strategy, a clear understanding of your audience, and the patience to let the results build over time. In this episode, Carole, a Facebook ads expert, shares the critical factors that determine ad success. From knowing when you’re ready to run ads to setting realistic expectations, Carole explains how to approach Facebook ads strategically to drive results. Here’s what you need to know about making Facebook ads work for your business: Ads Won’t Save a Broken Offer: If your business isn’t working organically, ads won’t fix it. Trust Before Ads: People buy when they trust you. Ads can help speed up visibility, but they’re not a substitute for the trust-building process. Start with What’s Already Working: Your best ad might already be on your phone. Look at your organic content to see what’s resonating with your audience. Smart Budgeting & Targeting: Ads are an investment in visibility. Start small, test your approach, and refine as you go. It’s about reaching the right audience, not just throwing money at the biggest one. Be Patient and Strategic: Ads are part of a larger strategy, not a quick fix. Take your time, stay clear on your goals, and approach ads with patience and consistency. Running Facebook ads isn’t about expecting quick fixes—it’s about amplifying the efforts that are already working for your business. Are you ready for Facebook ads?

Kristin was asked the question a lot of podcasters eventually face: “but what if I want to quit?” If you’re feeling burnt out, discouraged by download numbers, or questioning if it’s worth it—you're not alone. The reality is, most podcasters hit a wall long before they hit their goals. So, how do you avoid being part of the 95% who walk away before reaching 100 episodes? Ask Yourself: What’s happening in your life? If everything feels overwhelming, your podcast is likely reflecting that. Where are you finding rest? Unplugging for a week won’t make or break your show—but it might give you the clarity you need. What can you take off your plate? Buying back time might mean outsourcing, simplifying your process, or saying no to things that drain you. Where can you find support? Podcasting can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. A membership, a mastermind, or even a group of like-minded creators can make all the difference. If you're feeling resentful, exhausted, or like you have nothing left to give, pause before you quit. These stats are a wake-up call, but they don’t have to be your story. Keep showing up—but on your terms.

YouTube isn’t just a place to upload videos—it’s a powerful platform for building trust, driving sales, and creating a sustainable business. In this episode, Kristin sits down with YouTube expert Kati to unpack what actually works on YouTube, from cracking the algorithm to turning viewers into buyers Kati didn’t stumble into success—she found a strategy that worked. She shares the key shifts that took her channel to the next level and why YouTube rewards creators who show up with focus, clarity, and a plan. Here’s what you need to know about winning on YouTube: Focus is everything. The YouTube algorithm is extremely specific, and success comes from speaking to one audience and owning a search term. YouTube rewards those who do well. The platform understands what people are looking for and pushes content that meets those needs. Monetization isn’t just about views. AdSense pays for views, but real success comes from using a free lead magnet to drive sales. Shorts vs. Long-Form Content. Shorts are entertaining but don’t generate income—long-form content is where growth and revenue happen. Your title and thumbnail matter. A catchy title and an emotional, engaging thumbnail (with minimal words) increase clicks and watch time. Consistency is key. You won’t succeed by accident—YouTube is a long game that requires showing up with authenticity and a clear strategy. “YouTube is a way of life.” Katie’s biggest piece of advice? Know your avatar, tell a story, and don’t overthink—just start showing up. If you’ve been considering YouTube as a way to grow your brand, this episode is packed with insight to help you get started the right way.

If you’re wondering how to engage your audience, the answer isn’t just getting people to listen; it’s turning listeners into a true community. Kristin is sharing how to turn your podcast audience into a real community. It starts with speaking to their needs, giving clear next steps, and engaging beyond the podcast. Get listeners involved, be consistent, and show up as your real self. Your podcast isn’t just something people listen to—it’s something they belong to. When you focus on connection, engagement happens naturally.

One of the most common questions podcasters ask is, How do I grow my podcast? While strategies and marketing tactics play a role, true growth starts with something deeper—faithfully using what God has already placed in your hands. In Matthew 25:14, Jesus shares the parable of the three servants who were entrusted with talents. Each was given something valuable, and those who used their gifts wisely were entrusted with more. The same principle applies to podcasting. God has already given you something—your voice, your message, your unique ability to connect with others. The question is, Are you using it? Podcast growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about impact. When we faithfully pour into those who are already listening, showing up consistently and serving them well, more will be given. Use the talents in your hands, stay faithful to the message you’ve been given, and trust that as you pour into your audience, growth will follow in God’s perfect timing.

As Kingdom podcasters, one of the biggest questions we face is how to keep Jesus at the center of our journey. It’s not just about what we do—it’s about creating intentional connections that align with God’s purpose for us. In this episode, Kristin sits down with the inspiring Marnie, a mentor and author who shares wisdom on following Jesus and what that looks like in daily life. Kingdom success and worldly success don’t always look the same. Marnie shares how staying connected to Jesus allows us to move with purpose and clarity, rather than striving for worldly benchmarks. She emphasizes that our unique design is intentional—God strung together our DNA in a specific way, giving us a distinct position in the world. Here’s how you can keep Jesus at the forefront of your life: Pause and talk to Jesus in the exciting moments. Don’t just turn to Him in struggle—invite Him into your victories too. Stay in conscious connection. Keep your eyes locked on Jesus, both in the small details and the bigger vision. Understand that it’s between you and God. You’re in a different lane than others, and your success is measured by obedience, not numbers. “We are in an entirely different lane than others.” Marnie also breaks down how to bring Jesus into the micro-movements of daily work while maintaining a Kingdom-focused vision. She reminds us that we are assigned to bring to the earth what God has uniquely given us. This episode is packed with encouragement and wisdom for Kingdom podcasters, offering guidance to help you align your podcasting journey with faith and purpose. If you’re ready to step into the calling God has placed on your heart, this episode is for you.

It’s not just about creating great content—it’s about creating intentional connections that move your audience to take action. In this episode, Kristin sits down with the incredible Vanessa Wilde, a copywriting expert who has mastered the art of converting listeners into customers. The rules have changed.

Here’s how you can start converting your listeners: Create a freebie that delivers quick wins. Think about what makes sense for your audience and offer something they can use immediately. Keep your funnel aligned and simple. Every piece, from the freebie to the emails, should guide them naturally. Focus on authenticity. Share fun and relatable stories that let your audience connect with the real you. “People connect with who you are, not just what you sell” Vanessa also dives into the details—creating straightforward landing pages, writing subject lines that grab attention, and knowing exactly how many emails to send each week.

The podcasting world can feel overwhelming. With nearly 3 million podcasts out there, how do you make your mark? According to Alex Sanfillipo’s survey in Podcasting Made Simple , the truth is far more approachable: only about 300,000 podcasts are active, and just 34,000 are considered established. If your goal is to consistently produce 100 episodes, you’ll find yourself competing in a much smaller arena—one where strategy makes all the difference. Podcasting isn’t just a buzzword anymore, it’s a commitment. Most podcasters quit before reaching 100 episodes because success takes time—an average of two years—and requires a clear plan to get there. Without a strategy, it’s easy to lose focus and momentum. But when you approach podcasting with intention, everything changes. Success isn’t about the numbers; it’s about serving the audience you’re meant to reach. The right strategy focuses on building a meaningful connection with your listeners while continually improving your craft. Don’t let the big numbers scare you. Those top-tier podcasts you admire didn’t start with perfection—they started with consistency, commitment, and a plan. If you’re ready to break into that top 5% of podcasters who see success, focus on strategy, adapt to trends, and stay the course.

As Kingdom entrepreneurs, there’s often a pressure to do more and be more. But true growth doesn’t stem from constant doing—it arises from intentional rest and renewal. In this episode, health coach Ahna Fulmer and Kristin explore the power of early morning habits and how they set the tone for the day, aligning spirit, mind, and body. Our society doesn’t teach us to rest. It teaches us to grind, push, and always be on the go. But what happens when we choose rest instead? Ahna shares how making the shift from doing to being changed everything. When rest became a priority, the to-do list no longer had the power to control the day. Rest isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. When rest and stillness become priorities, your perspective on your to-do list shifts. You stop rushing and start being intentional. The pressure to control everything is real. But embracing stillness helps you reconnect with purpose and align with God’s plan for you. Wake up with purpose, not stress, and begin your day with alignment and focus. “Some seasons you preserve and some seasons you press pause” “In order to truly live we need to learn how to rest. Our society does not promote that” This isn’t about doing more—it’s about being intentional with what you’re doing. When you get your rest, everything else flows with clarity and purpose. If you want to make this year your most impactful yet, focus on rest, alignment, and setting your mornings with intention. It’s time to build with purpose, not just to do.
