1k Accelerator Program

Grow A Podcast Audience of 1,000 Future Buyers

A high-intensity 6-week program for shows with fewer than 1,000 dl/ep where you’ll develop & crystalize a potent podcast marketing strategy to attract, nurture & convert your perfect-fit customers with authentic, sustainable marketing.

I’m only halfway through and in the past month alone we’ve seen both our listeners and subscribers double.”

Sam Brake Guia

“I can see in my download numbers already, where I was staying consistent at 1500 downloads, now I’m up to, 2300 downloads.

Biz Cush

“Since enrolling in PMA my show has grown consistently nearly every month. Each of the last 6 months have been among my highest in terms of downloads.”

Eric Maddox

Growing a podcast is one of the hardest marketing challenges you’ll ever face.

No, it’s not just you.

The reality is that there’s just a ton of friction to gaining each & every new listener:

  • Podcasts are inherently un-shareable
  • There are more shows than ever before, many of them from big-budget studios, media companies, and brands
  • It’s a big time commitment (and thus risk) for a new listener to test & assess a new show
  • It’s almost impossible to get data on where your listeners are actually coming from
  • It’s almost impossible to get your listeners to take action after listening to your show (and even harder to measure it)… which makes it hard to justify continuing to invest in your show

Oh yeah… and there’s no built-in discoverability engine to help new listeners find your show.

All of this adds up to a frustratingly difficult medium to create in.

Of course, you already know that.

But you also know something else.

A Podcast Can Be the Single Most Valuable Asset In Your Business.

If you can find out how to get the right people into your show, it has the potential to consistently turn them into a steady stream of clients and customers on autopilot.

In fact, it’s not uncommon for podcast listeners to account for >80% of new clients and customers for coaches, consultants, agencies, service providers, and digital product creators.

Just Take it From Jen

Host of The Healthy Skin Show

After dialing in her marketing for a new show, Jen:

  • Generated 9,500 downloads in her first month, 4x her previous top monthly total in four years of producing her previous show.
  • 10x’d her practice’s revenue within 6 months.
  • Raised her prices 3 times in 9 months… and still had a client wait list longer than she could handle, almost all of whom discovered her services through the show.

Chances are, Jen’s not the first person you’ve come across with results like this.

In fact, hearing the impact podcasting has had on other business owners’ lives and businesses is probably why you started your show in the first place.

And yet…

You’re Stuck. And When it Comes to Your Show, Nothing Seems to Work

It’s not for lack of effort.

You’ve subscribed to the newsletters and podcasts on podcasting. You’ve read blog posts and followed all the podcast marketing experts on social media.

But you haven’t stopped there.

You’ve put their growth tactics & recommendations into action, including:

Posting On Social Media

You repurpose every new episode into an impressive array of content including short and long-form video, audiograms, graphics, quotes, and more… but get barely any engagement, let alone new listeners.

Podcast Guesting & Cross Promotions

You’ve guested on, run promo swaps & collaborated with (perhaps dozens of) other shows hoping to gain exposure to relevant audiences… but have yet to see any significant bump in downloads. 

Paid Advertising Campaigns

You might have even experimented with paid advertising campaigns on Facebook, podcast apps, or newsletters… but as far as you can tell, you might as well be lighting your money on fire for all the good it’s done for your show.

You know podcasting is a long game, and that growth takes time. But you’ve literally done everything the podcast experts tell you you’re supposed to do… without any meaningful result.

And so you’re facing a decision:

Get serious about making your show work for your business… or move on to something else.

You know your show has potential & you owe it one last shot… but what do you do?

You’ve got a few options

1. Keep trying to piece a strategy together based on podcasts, blog posts, and YouTube Videos

You’ve already tried this, however, and don’t have much to show for it.

What’s more, constantly trying to keep up with every hot new tactic is exhausting.

What you really want is a reliable, cohesive system that you can stick with for the long haul.

2. Spend a bunch of money on ads, cross your fingers, and hope for the best

Except… you don’t really know what you’re doing.

Which means the $5k minimum commitment to advertise on many podcast apps is a massive risk.

And let’s not even mention the overwhelm you feel on those rare occasions you feel brave enough to open up the Facebook Ads dashboard.

3. Hire an agency or freelancer to grow your show for you

If you can afford to spend $10k/month for a proven marketing agency, this might be a great option!

Just be aware that finding a marketing agency (or freelancer) that knows anything about podcast-specific growth is incredibly difficult.

Here’s the Truth:
If you want to succeed long-term, sooner or later, you’re going to need to learn how to really market your show yourself.

(And not just with a hodgepodge of duct-taped-together marketing tactics based on short-term trends that leave you constantly struggling to keep up.)

What you need is a cohesive growth engine that reliably attracts new listeners & consistently nurtures them into clients, customers, and advocates.

How do you do it? I’m glad you asked.

How to Build A Podcast Growth Engine

Every effective podcast marketing strategy is built around four essential components, which together, power your show to long-term, sustainable growth.

    1. Exposure

    Your system for consistently and predictably gaining exposure to new potential listeners, clients, and customers who are a perfect fit for your show and your work.

    2. Attraction

    Exposure doesn’t do much if you can’t convert attention into something more.

    The attraction component of your growth engine is all about creating a show & creative platform that hooks your ideal listeners & reels them in.

    4. $$$

    The final step in your podcast growth flywheel is generating revenue that you’re then able to invest back into your marketing to grow even faster.

    When you unlock this, your growth potential is near-infinite.

    3. Retention

    Getting a new listener to click play for the first time is the hardest part of podcast marketing.

    But if you can’t retain first-time listeners & turn them into longtime subscribers, growth is going to be slow.

    “I now have a plan of action. I now know exactly, what I need to be doing, for where my show is at right now.”

    – Michael Osborne, host of Famous & Gravy

    When You Have A Growth Engine In Place…

    You know exactly where to find your ideal listeners and have a reliable, repeatable system for getting in front of them. 

    Your show is packaged and presented so that when your ideal listeners come across your show for the first time, their eyes light up and they feel an instant, irresistible magnetic pull toward it.

    Once they press play, your listeners are hooked within the first few minutes.

    By the end of the first episode, they’ve converted to eager subscribers, from which point they’re well on their way to taking the relationship with you further.

    You have a system in place to convert listeners into clients & customers, and a way to measure it.

    This means you know exactly how much each new podcast subscriber is worth to your business, which gives allows you to invest more strategically & intentionally in your show.

    Most importantly, you feel absolute confidence in your personal ability to grow your show and your business.

    (even in the face of shifting trends, ever-changing algorithms, shiny new tools, and short-lived marketing fads that everyone else is distracting themselves with)

    When you understand the components of a growth engine and how they apply to your show, marketing transforms from an intimidating and overwhelming piece of black magic…

    To a straightforward, approachable tool you can put to work to achieve your goals.

    “It’s transformed not just the work, but the potential for repurposing and for marketing and providing value. We’re getting very good feedback on the podcast, it’s growing organically and I know it’s going to grow a lot more.”

    – Elaine Appleton Grant, host of Sound Judgment

    By The End of the Accelerator You’ll Have:

    A deep understanding of your ideal listeners

    Including where to reach them, what they look for in a show like yours, and what keeps them coming back.

    Developed a differentiation strategy

    That allows you to clearly stand out in a sea of generic shows as the clear choice for your best-fit listeners.

    Refined your show concept & presentation

    Into an ultra sticky show your ideal listeners can’t resist, and which keeps them coming back for more.

    Crafted clear & compelling messaging

    That causes potential listener’s eyes to light up as soon as they come across your show.

    Aligned your show around the most important outcomes for your business

    With clear KPIs to measure the impact the show has on the rest of your business.

    A clear plan to reach the 1k subscriber milestone

    That aligns with your natural skills, interests, values, and the resources you have available.

    “As a teacher, Jeremy is incredibly knowledgeable in his field. But he’s also very genuine, and I think that’s what stands out.

    Quite often when I’m doing courses, I feel that a lot of it is about them, and their business, and what they want for themselves, rather than genuinely looking for the best for the cohort.

    I think that is Jeremy’s uniqueness.”

    – Karen Campbell, She Runs, Eats, Performs

    “It’s not just like learn these things and you have to figure out how to apply them… It’s like, learn these things and you’re going to actively apply them.”

    – Brooke Suchomel, host of Babysitters Fight Club

    – Elizabeth Cush, host of Awaken Your Wise Woman

    Who I Am

    Hi, I’m Jeremy Enns, founder of Counterweight Creative and Podcast Marketing Academy. 

    Over the past 6 years, my team and I have worked with dozens of high-level business owners, helping them generate over 50 million podcast downloads and millions of dollars in revenue.

    Jeremy Enns | CEO | Counterweight Creative Podcast Production &Marketing

    In working behind the scenes in a diverse group of businesses, I started to recognize the recurring patterns that separate shows that grow and convert casual listeners into raving fans, clients, and customers, and shows that plateau, falter, and fizzle.

    I want to help you put those lessons to work in your show and your business. 

    “Jeremy is 100% qualified, and I rave about him to everyone I know.

    I highly respect him and appreciate his vision. His expertise and field of knowledge is incredible. Seriously.”

    – Archana Nayak

    My writing on podcast growth is regularly read by creators, marketers, & executives from place like

    Along with thousands of indie creators, entrepreneurs, marketers, and producers.

    “I used [one of the PMA frameworks] to completely reorient one of our shows that wasn’t doing too well, and since then it’s started crushing.

    We get huge guests on it, it’s a big part of our creator’s ecosystem and I attribute a lot of that to Jeremy and the knowledge that he shared.”

    – Ben Bradbury, Head of Audio at Workweek

    What Makes The Accelerator Different From Other Podcast Courses?

    Other Podcast Courses

    • Only devote a small portion of the course content to growth… most of which you’ve already heard before.
    • Teach you a collection of trendy one-off tactics that might work now… but probably won’t work six months from now (Clubhouse anyone?)
    • Teach you the one method the instructor used to grow their show… even if your show, audience, and personal skills are absolutely nothing like theirs.
    • Consist of a ton of video content that you know you’ll never go through, let alone implement.
    • Don’t give you access to any personalized feedback, support, or insights into how the concepts apply to your show.
    • Aimed at all types and sizes of shows, meaning a lot of the content isn’t relevant to your specific situation.
    • Focus on downloads and other vanity metrics… which might look good on paper, but won’t do anything to actually grow your business.
    • Use tactics in their own marketing and sales processes that make you uncomfortable as a potential client.

    • Designed to help you attract an audience of future buyers… which is why you started your show in the first place, right?
    • We’ll let you be the judge, but we aspire to market our work in a way  that our people are glad to participate in.

    Oh, and then there are the results…

    PMA Students Improve Their Marketing By 44% on Average

    We ask each student to rate their confidence in their marketing abilities at the start & end of each cohort.

    After just 6 weeks, students’ confidence in their overall ability to market their shows improves by an average of 91%, with significant improvements across each aspect of their marketing skill-set.

    Of course, that’s great for them…

    But if you’re still wondering whether the 1k Accelerator work for you, here’s how to find out.

    Who Is the 1k Accelerator For?

    The Accelerator Program is specifically designed for…

    Hosts, producers, & marketers creating shows that are meant to drive results for an existing business and are looking to learn marketing and execute on their own.

    • You’ve been producing your show consistently for more than a year.
    • You’ve mastered the basics of production and are ready to focus on growth.
    • You have a proven product or service in place (though it might not be performing as well as you’d like).
    • You enjoy the process of creating your show & are in it for the long haul. It’s not just a checkbox you feel you’re supposed to tick.
    • You believe in the power of generous, genuine marketing that doesn’t leave a bad taste in your audience’s mouths.
    • You have the bandwidth to show up for the 6-week sprint by attending the live sessions, submitting the homework assignments, and supporting your peers in the cohort. 

    Who’s Not a Fit?

    • You’re already getting more than 1,000 downloads/ep.
    • The primary goal of your show is not to support your business or company.
    • You don’t have direct creative control over the show you work on.
    • You’d rather outsource your marketing than do it yourself.
    • You don’t have a clear way (yet) to tie more listeners to more revenue.
    • You don’t have the bandwidth to show up and contribute to the 6-week cohort.

    If any of the above apply to you, the PMA Membership, our on-demand learning community is likely a better fit to help you grow.

    If you’re still not certain, consider our growth guarantee…

    Our Guarantee

    Podcast Marketing Academy is designed with one goal in mind: To grow your podcast audience.

    If, at any point within the first two weeks of the program you don’t feel the program will help you achieve that goal, simply drop me a note and I’ll be happy to refund your tuition. 

    Stop Guessing. Start Growing.

    “I have way more clarity than I did before. And I’ve been getting even more clarity every week.”

    – Ankur Shah, host of 10,000 Heroes

    Testimonials

    The stuff you taught me, no shit, changed my life. It made my podcast more fun to do and easier to maintain. In fact, I am now launching 2 additional mini-episodes a week without a lot of effort. All because of what you taught me.

    - Kelle Sparta

    The Spirit Sherpa Podcast

    “When I first joined PMA, I approached Jeremy and I said, ‘Look, this is my career, I’m employed full-time as a podcast expert within a marketing team but I don’t have all the answers.

    I’m willing to accept that but I want them and I want to go out there and I want to be better and I want to produce the best content I can.’

    PMA I can honestly say has not just lived up to my expectations but exceeded them.”

    - Sam Brake Guia

    Brains Byte Back

    Jeremy is a natural mentor. He is genuine and trustworthy, and the information he shares has been well thought out. And you can act on it whether you are just starting out, or have many episodes under your belt. He provides a supportive learning environment and guides you along with exercises and questions to make you think objectively about your show.

    - Suzy Buttress

    The Casual Birder Podcast

    “It’s so incredible the diverse group of people you brought together, each so kind and motivating in their own way. It’s so rare to see a group like that, and I’m glad I was a part of it

    It felt like a safe space to share and get some really helpful constructive criticism as well as be creative and get a boost when we needed it.”

    - Archana Nayak

    Uncheck The Box

    “Based on the calls, the community, and the content, I would have paid at least four times what I paid for The Academy. It was way more in-depth than I anticipated.”

    - Arie Lombardozzi

    Brewtal

    I’ve taken a lot of courses and as an educator, Jeremy is very much in the top echelon and I think other people who teach classes could learn from his approach, I really do.

    - Reginald Ferguson

    The Fashion Geeks Podcast

    “Before, I was questioning myself like, ‘Do I know what I’m doing? Do I know my audience? Do I know what I’m presenting? Am I just throwing things out there? Is there a plan here?’

    Now in every episode, I’m working towards this goal of getting them to be engaged, wanting to listen more and come back again and again. Of course, that’s what I wanted before, but I wasn’t doing it strategically.

    PMA has brought the joy of podcasting back for me. My download numbers are increasing, which is exciting, and I have a better sense of how the show fits into my business. But also, it’s made it lighter. It’s just made it easier.”

    - Elizabeth Cuth

    Awaken Your Wise Woman

    “There is lot of conflicting advice about podcast marketing out there. I used to download a lot of marketing checklists and such but in the end, I was always still confused.

    PMA has given me the real fundamentals and a clear roadmap of not just podcast marketing but marketing as a whole.

    Plus the community is super supportive and helps if I have any questions pertaining to my show and my business.”

    - Vijay Peduru

    How They Made Their Millions

    “This was hands down one of the best programs I’ve ever taken.

    Although I’d been producing my show for years already, I realized there were things that I hadn’t been doing. So when Jeremy mentioned them, I was like, “Okay, well, this would totally shift things if I implemented this.

    I now tell friends of mine that are serious about the podcasts, ‘You need to take this program. Even if you think you know everything, there are things you don’t know.’ I know a lot of people and they’re like ‘Well, I know what I’m doing.’ I’m like ‘No, you don’t.’

    I’m noticing that the tweaks I’ve made are making a difference where people are now actually noticing and reposting episodes.

    Definitely take it. Do it. It’s awesome. Like 100%

    The Couragecast

    What stands out from Jeremy is that he’s so genuine. Quite often when I’m doing courses, I don’t get that sense from the instructor. I feel that a lot of it is about them, and their business, and what they want for themselves, rather than genuinely looking for the best for the cohort. I think that’s a big part of Jeremy’s uniqueness.”

    ” I feel more comfortable marketing because I’m doing it my way. I also feel relieved I have my own system and automations so my show is consistently being promoted to new targeted listeners 24/7. It takes the pressure off and lets me focus on connecting with other podcasters to ask how I can help.”

    “The program is very structured and has a very clear pathway in order to reach the outcome that you’re intending to reach. It isn’t just a lot of reading or videos.”

    FAQs

    Do you offer payment plans?

    Yes! We offer payment plans on both versions of the Accelerator.

    Just click through to the checkout and you’ll have the option to pay either upfront or over a series of 6 monthly payments.

    When does the Accelerator start?

    Enrolment for this cohort of Podcast Marketing Academy (PMA7) is as follows: 

    Enrollment Opens: Monday, May 1st, 2023

    Enrollment Closes: Monday, May 15th, 2023

    Kick-Off Call: Saturday, May 20th, 2023

    Note that you’ll gain immediate access to the membership community as soon as you sign up!

    When will the live sessions take place?

    Beginning on Tuesday, May 23rd, 2023, the live Accelerator sessions will take place every Tuesday at 9 AM PDT / 12 PM ET / 17:00 BST. 

    Each call lasts 2 hours.

    How much time will this take each week?

    Between the pre-recorded content, live sessions, and homework assignments, you should expect to budget ~5 hours/week for the Accelerator.

    That said, some students spend much more time on the assignments as well as connecting and engaging with other members of the cohort. 

    As is often the case, those who put the most in tend to get the most out. 

    I have a co-host, can they access PMA as well?

    Absolutely! 

    Tuition is on a per-show basis, meaning you and your co-host(s) will have equal access to the content, live calls, community, and everything else included in PMA. 

    Once you sign up, just send me a quick note with their email address so I can give them access.

    How long will I have access to the content?

    You’ll have access to all the Accelerator materials for 6 months after it wraps up. 

    Following the Accelerator Graduation call, you’ll have access to the PMA Membership community for one year, after which you can choose to renew at the annual membership rate.

    Do you support parity pricing?

    Not everyone earns a US salary.

    At PMA, we’re proud to support Parity Purchasing Power, which means that if you live in a country with lower relative purchasing power, we’re happy to offer you a discount to level the playing field if you need it.

    If not, send a note to jeremy (at) podcastmarketingacademy.com and I can send you one personally.

    Do you offer scholarships?

    Yes!

    Since PMA1 we’ve been proud to offer partial scholarships to folks doing important work with their shows who would be otherwise unable to participate.

    Scholarships are prioritized for those from marginalized backgrounds or doing non-profit, impact-driven work, but applications are open to all.

    If you’d like to be considered for a partial scholarship, please send me an email (jeremy (at) podcastmarketingacademy.com.) with some information about you and your show and what it would take to make the Accelerator accessible to you.

    Is there a money-back guarantee?

    Yes! The 1k Accelerator is designed with one goal in mind: To grow your podcast audience.

    If, at any point within the first two weeks, you don’t feel like the Accelerator will help you grow, simply drop us a note and we’ll happily refund your entire tuition.

    Who is the Accelerator designed for?

    The 1k Accelerator is designed for business owners, marketers & creators who fit three criteria:

    1. You’ve been podcasting for a year or more
    2. Currently have fewer than 1,000 dl/ep
    3. One of your primary show goals is to support your business 

    In addition, the Accelerator places a heavy focus on collaboration, showing and sharing your work, and supporting your fellow Academy members. We’ve found that our students who contribute the most to the group are the ones that receive the most in return. 

    As such, our ideal members are generous in sharing their insight, feedback, and experience, and are excited to be active participants in the cohort.

    What if I don’t have a podcast yet?

    As the 1k Accelerator is an interactive program, with a heavy emphasis placed on doing the work and implementing what you’ve learned as you work through the program, it’s not the best fit if you’re just starting out. 

    In that case, feel free to check out the PMA Membership instead.

    Are the discussions in the Academy confidential?

    We operate by a few simple rules when it comes to the discussions that take place in the Accelerator, both on the live calls as well as in the community:

    • Contribute more than you ask for.
    • Be kind.
    • What is said here, stays here.

    That said, please use your best judgment. If it’s not something you can happily post online, best to disguise the details before you post it here.

    Will Jeremy answer all of my questions?

    In addition to the weekly Accelerator sessions, Jeremy will be available on the weekly group coaching calls to answer questions. He’ll also be chiming in on the Accelerator discussion board as well. 

    Note that we want to ensure there is time for everyone to get their questions answered, and as such, if you have multiple questions every week, we can’t guarantee they’ll all get answered personally. 

    We’ve found, however, that often the most insightful responses and most helpful answers come from other members, whether on the live calls or in the community discussion board. Our Academies are made up of smart, experienced entrepreneurs who can offer their own valuable perspectives on most questions. 

    When in doubt, post your questions to the group. 

    If you’re looking for additional support and guidance from Jeremy, you can book one or more 1:1 strategy sessions with him directly. 

    Reach out at: jeremy (at) podcastmarketingacademy.com

    I’m on the fence. Can I talk to someone to help me decide if the Academy is a fit for me?

    Absolutely! 

    You can book a time here to chat directly with Jeremy about whether the Academy is a good fit for you and the goals you have for your podcast and business.

    I’ve learned so much from PMA that I didn’t even expect was going to be associated with the program that’s ended up opening up these other doors. Many more doors than I ever would have imagined.”

    “If you’re ready to immerse yourself, do it. It will really get to the foundations of what you need. It’s not just going through a course, you’re really getting mentorship that is really invaluable. I think that’s probably the biggest benefit. We really do feel that we’re getting mentorship and it’s just opening up possibilities.”

    “There aren’t very many places you can talk openly about podcasting. Whereas with this, I felt like I could talk about my show and I was able to really get a window into what am I doing wrong here? Because if I’m doing something wrong, I’d like to fix it.”
