How Facebook Ads Can Grow Your Podcast

By Well It Depends Labs

Contrary to popular belief, Facebook ads might help grow your podcast. ​For the longest time, I (Arielle Nissenblatt, event organizer) told anyone who would listen that Facebook and Instagram ads are not worth it in order to grow your podcast. I believed it wholeheartedly that the click-through is too big of an ask and that the juice is not worth the squeeze. I did believe in Facebook ads for growing awareness, sending people to your website or newsletter…etc. But for direct podcast growth, I was convinced it was a no.

​Until I wrote this article about paid marketing for This & That with Arielle Nissenblatt and received a reply from Caemin O Connor. He wrote “I invested $1,000 in my first facebook campaign last September and got followers for under $1- and these weren’t bots - they are real followers who have remained listeners.”

​So… I invited him to share his playbook with us.

​In this Well, It Depends workshop, Caemin O Connor of Great Business Stories will walk through his Facebook ads strategy. He was able to gain more than 8,000 subscribers directly from Facebook ads… and those subscribers stuck around.

​More importantly, he’ll explain how the system works: landing pages, conversion tracking, creative testing, subscriber economics, and why some podcast categories may convert far better than others.

​This is not a “copy this exact formula and you’ll grow instantly” session.
