"Honestly, though, with all the noise on the internet, your liking, sharing, and subscribing might not be enough to garner the engagement we're looking for. We're trying to capture the hearts and minds of every citizen of the cyberworld and beyond. We wouldn't hate some brand deals, either. Which is why we've listed a few other things you could do to help grow our podcast's audience, if you don't mind."
"Rate and Review It Get on Google, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and Yelp to rate and review our podcast. We need five stars, even if you feel like it's more of a two-star product. Don't hold back on the glowing compliments-on the internet, nobody knows you're a liar. Post Flyers at Local Coffee Shops That café in which you take Zoom calls twice a week? Stick a few flyers promoting our podcast onto their bulletin board."
A new six-hour podcast episode combines conversations about geopolitics, Caribbean-Polish fusion cuisine, and pickleball-paddle craftsmanship. The hosts ask listeners to like, share, and subscribe but suggest those actions may be insufficient to achieve desired engagement. The hosts express ambitions to win broad online attention and secure brand deals. The hosts propose additional promotional tactics, including soliciting five-star reviews across major platforms regardless of actual opinion, posting flyers at local cafés using their resources, playing the episode loudly on public transit, and making cold calls with follow-up texts. The tone mixes humor with blunt promotional instruction and the text ends mid-sentence.
