Are you struggling to turn your podcast into a thriving online business? 🎙️💼

You're not alone! In this rowdy September Pod Pal Zoom party episode, I'm spilling the tea on the five biggest mistakes keeping podcasters from earning meaningful income.

Trust me, I've been there. My first three years of podcasting netted me a whopping $37 (mostly from a mushroom coffee affiliate code). But I've learned a thing or two since then, and I'm here to help you fast-forward through these common pitfalls.

• Why your podcast name could be sabotaging your success (and how to fix it). 🏷️
• The interview trap that's keeping you from being seen as the expert.
• The dangers of premature monetization (and when it's actually okay to start selling).
• Why selling directly from your show might be hurting your bottom line.
• The crucial element your offers are missing (hint: it's YOU).

• My "perfect podcast naming formula" for maximum discoverability.
• The "two-thirds content rule" for balancing interviews and expert positioning.
• How to create a "client conversion pathway" that actually works.
• Why business-level goals require business-level effort (and how to find the right balance).

Remember, building a successful online business isn't about working harder – it's about working smarter.
