But how do you get more podcast reviews? You’re going to get some naturally from your superfans, but there are also super easy ways to give your reviews a boost! I have 4 quick tips to help you get those reviews rolling in and experience some major podcast growth!
1. Treat your podcast like you’re in launch mode to get a quick boost of podcast reviews.
When you’re in launch mode, you normally have a list of 20-50 people you ask to give you support and engage with your content. These are people that love you and support you and are happy to help you out.
You can use that same strategy for your podcast! Pick a day and treat it like your launch day. Go through your list of people and send them a quick message and ask them to leave you a written review. It’s super easy, super chill, and it easily gets you a big influx of reviews that will help boost your podcast growth!
2.Swap podcast reviews with other podcasters
This is one of my favorite things about community – we’re there to help each other out! Find other podcasters and ask to swap podcast reviews. You leave a review on their show, and they leave a review on yours. You can come do this in my Facebook community, I have a thread every week to collaborate and swap reviews with other podcasters!
3. Ask your listeners to review your podcast
You can do this in a super genuine way, it does not need to be a big deal. Ask your listeners in one of your episodes to pause the show and leave you a review. And tell them why! For me, it brings me so much joy to hear from you and it helps me know I’m creating content for you that’s actually helpful and is making a difference.
