Episode description

Rob Brown interviews Katie Thomas, a podcasting expert, about the benefits of podcasting for accountants and finance professionals. Katie makes a compelling case for why podcasting is worth the investment of time and resources, even in a crowded space with over 5 million active podcasts.

Katie explains how podcasting helps build relationships and trust with both existing and prospective clients. It establishes you as an expert in your niche and gives you a platform to share valuable insights. Podcasting also generates content that can be repurposed across social media, your website, and other marketing channels.

Katie also offers practical tips for getting started, like batch recording episodes in advance for busy seasons and working with a professional agency so you only have to focus on the recording.

Key Takeaways:

➯ Podcasting builds trust and relationships with your audience.

➯ It establishes you as an expert in your niche.

➯ A podcast spearheads content that can be repurposed across channels.

➯ You don't need millions of listeners to benefit.

➯ Consider hiring an agency to handle production so you simply have to record.

"Podcasting is a way that you can build peri-social relationships. So you don’t have to go out 1 by 1 to all these people listening to your podcast or consuming your content that. your content that’s a byproduct of that podcast, but rather those people, they feel like they know you, they like you, they trust you, but you’re doing it on a mass scale."
