Make Your Podcast the Ultimate Conversion Tool

What Questions Should You Ask Your Podcast Guest?
Do ample research on the guest and go over their content. Read up on their previous work.
Ask the guest about their interests, particularly the things they like to discuss.
Find out if there is valuable information they haven’t had the chance to share before. This method will unravel stories that have yet to come to light.
Look beyond the obvious stories and questions that the guest receives in other interviews.
Find a unique and exciting angle for the guest to reveal a particular perspective that most people haven’t heard.

How do you Make Great Podcast Content? 
One way to step up your game is to ask better questions and in turn, tell your stories better.
Pay attention to content which has enormous potential to resonate with your audience.
Learn to trust your gut instinct in making decisions.
Joining the bandwagon is not always the best option.
Don't stick to a formula for your shows wherein you pose the same question for every guest. Over time, your audience will only get bored. Resist the urge of staying comfortable and sticking to what is familiar.
Pursue guests who are not usually featured a lot of shows.

How can Business Podcasts be Used as a Conversion Tool?
When you have established a listener base, these people will commit more hours consuming your content.
Earning that commitment from your audience will give you the power to influence them. Gaining their trust will make it easier to sell to them.

How can you Convert Subscribers to Customers?
Your website and email list are your critical weapons for conversion. 
Having an online help desk can encourage people to ask questions.
Use your email list to endorse products that can offer more value to the consumer.
Utilize your website to navigate your audience towards your highest performing content.

How do you Grow Your Podcast?
Commit to constant innovation.
Be sensitive to the changes in your industry.
Have a long term approach with the business, but if you recognize you're in the wrong track, change your methods.
