Here are some quick tips to increase listener interaction!1. Be AccessibleMake sure that listeners know where and how to reach you (Facebook Group, Email, Discord, etc.). 2. Be SpecificTell your audience exactly what to contact you about. For example, instead of "Ask me anything!" try saying "What is something you've struggled with lately?" to generate more focused engagement. 3. Be Authentic Audience members don't respond well to aggressive marketing tactics & can tell when someone is only trying to make a sale. Be genuine in your intentions to bring value to your listeners, and they will give value back. Have a question?Record & submit your question at podinbox.com/buzzsprout to be featured on a future episode!Podcasting Q&A is hosted by Jordan Blair @jordanpods.
