It's the second installment in the Season 3 Co-Host Collective Series and I'm joined, once again, by Megan Shields of Chimehouse Media to explore the often-overlooked strategy of paid Facebook and Instagram ads for podcasters looking to grow their shows. Despite the powerful potential of advertising on these platforms, many podcasters shy away from using paid campaigns to reach new listeners and expand their audience due to the limited amount of other people capitalizing on these approaches.

Megan breaks down her TriFecta Ad Strategy, a comprehensive approach designed to not only increase podcast listeners, but also boost social media engagement and grow email lists. By following these actionable strategies, podcasters can maximize the impact of their advertising efforts and build a more engaged, loyal community.

This episode also covers the common misconceptions and hesitations that keep podcasters from investing in paid ads, and how shifting that mindset can lead to significant growth. Whether you're looking to amplify your reach, deepen engagement, or build your email list, this episode offers valuable insights for podcasters ready to take their show to the next level.
