Hey, Podcasters!

Most of the time, we’re trying to get our podcast in front of as many people as possible.

But there are times when reaching a smaller, specific group makes more sense.

Maybe you want to give subscribers bonus episodes, create exclusive content for your biggest fans, or add a podcast to a course or coaching program.

That’s where a private podcast can be really useful!

In ​this episode​ of Podcasting Q&A, Cara walks through three ways to offer private content and how to choose between them based on what you want your listeners to experience.

You can keep a podcast out of the public directories, build it into a membership, or use Buzzsprout Subscriptions to put premium episodes behind a paywall.

If you’ve ever considered tailoring some of your content for a smaller group of listeners, listen to ​Podcasting Q&A​!
