Clocking In with Haylee Gaffin - Podcast for Podcasters about Podcasting

If your podcast disappeared tomorrow, would your business feel it? Or would it just be one less thing on your to-do list? That question gets at the heart of what separates a podcast that's content from a podcast that's a business asset. If your show isn't intentionally connected to how you attract, nurture, and convert your audience, it's not really functioning as part of your business—it's just something you're creating alongside it.This is a continuation of a bigger idea: your business strategy should drive your podcast, not the other way around. That's the philosophy. Join me in today's episode to hear all about the behind the scenes of podcasting for business. Our program for podcasters looking to leverage their show to drive more revenue in their business. Clocking In with Haylee Gaffin is produced by Gaffin Creative, a podcast production company for creative entrepreneurs.
