The podcast industry keeps evolving — and the forthcoming Community Workshop: Audience Growth & Monetization stands out as a timely chance for creators to sharpen their growth strategy. Hosted by Riverside.fm (in partnership with GetMoreListeners.com), the workshop promises a “clear roadmap and practical next steps” for anyone aiming to grow, retain and monetize their audience.
What the Workshop Covers
- How to pick topics that resonate — and attract your ideal listeners.
- Simple tweaks that improve listener retention and help improve ranking on platforms like Apple Podcasts.
- High‑impact actions to convert exposure into regular listeners.
- Fundamentals of positioning your show — making it unique and scalable so growth actually compounds.
Whether you’re just starting a show or trying to turn podcasting into income, the workshop offers actionable advice rather than just theory.
Why It Matters for Podcasters in 2025
In an increasingly crowded podcast space, building an audience isn’t enough — retention, discoverability, and monetization matter more than ever. As streaming‑audio competition heats up, creators who treat podcasting not just as a hobby but as a business need structured growth and monetization strategies.
This event is especially useful because it combines audience‑growth best practices (think discoverability, consistency, format experiments) with monetization readiness — helping creators transition from passion to sustainable venture.
How to Use the Insights from This Workshop
- Apply podcast SEO and metadata best practices to help new listeners discover episodes.
- Improve listener retention and engagement through compelling topics and thoughtful formatting.
- Explore monetization models thoughtfully — from sponsorships and ads to listener support or premium content — once you build a consistent listener base.
For creators running content marketing, business podcasts, or educational shows, this workshop could offer the kind of structured, proven tactics that turn irregular listeners into a loyal, engaged audience — and eventually, into a sustainable revenue stream.
