If you're serious about taking your podcast to the next level, it's time to talk about paid growth. While organic strategies (like tapping into your current audience or collaborating with others) are powerful foundations, there may come a point when you need an extra boost to reach new listeners faster.

That's where strategic paid growth comes in — and it’s not just about throwing money at ads and hoping for the best. Done well, paid strategies can supercharge your podcast audience without feeling like you're wasting your budget.
