The Podcast Marketing Puzzle
There’s no one successful way to market and grow a podcast.
Which is one of the reasons why growing a show is so hard.
Every show has a unique set of goals, audience, and business model, after all.
Layer on top the unique combination of skills, resources, interests, values, personality, superpowers, and constraints that every host brings to the table, and it quickly becomes clear…
Figuring out the best way to grow your show is like trying to solve Rubik’s Cube with a blindfold on.
Unfortunately, that’s just the tip of the iceberg…
There’s No One Magic Bullet For Podcast Growth
If you want to grow your show, you have to learn to solve dozens of different marketing challenges. Here are just a few of the puzzles that frustrate podcast creators the most.
Finding Podcast-Market-Creator Fit
Developing a show that you both genuinely love creating & for which there is clear audience demand might be the single hardest aspect of marketing.
Most shows give up before they ever find it.
Identifying Where & How to Reach Your Ideal Listeners
When you don’t know who your absolute ideal listeners are, where to find them, and how to connect with them, your marketing efforts are nothing more than shooting in the dark.
Developing A Compelling Differentiation Strategy
If potential listeners can’t clearly understand why they’re better off listening to your show than one of the (potentially dozens of) other shows on your topic, you’re in for a long, expensive, uphill slog.
Honing Your Show Pitch & Messaging
Your show has about 5 seconds to grab the attention of potential listeners & pull them in to learn more. Most shows waste that first impression with muddled messaging & underwhelming packaging… and miss out on subscribers.
Crafting A Highly Recommendable Show
Word of mouth can be one of the most powerful growth drivers for your show. But without understanding the specific reasons listeners recommend shows in the first place, it’s almost impossible to generate.
Generating Predictable Podcast-Driven Revenue
When your show churns out a consistent stream of income, you can confidently re-invest back into your show & marketing and your growth potential explodes.
Most shows never figure this out, however, and their potential remains capped.
If your show isn’t having the impact you know it’s capable of, it’s likely because one or more (or all) of these puzzles remains unsolved.
And while these challenges are difficult to overcome in any medium, let’s be real and call out what you likely already suspect to be the case…
Podcasting is a uniquely difficult medium to grow in.
Part of it is the lack of good data to inform your creative & marketing decisions.
And part of it is that while there’s a near-infinite amount of advice, information, and support catering to brand-new podcasters looking to learn the basics…
When it comes to in-depth, advanced resources for serious, established hosts, producers, and marketers looking to take their shows to the next level, those resources are few and far between.
As a result, most creators, founders, and even many experienced marketers spend years beating their heads against a wall trying to find the answers to these problems on their own.
The good news is you don’t have to be one of them.
Your Secret Weapon For Podcast Growth
The Podcast Marketing Academy Membership program gives you access to everything you need to reach your next growth milestone, whether that’s gaining traction, scaling your marketing team, or converting more listeners into customers.
How It Works
There’s no one size fits all approach to growth.
That’s why the membership includes access to a comprehensive array of growth-oriented resources, each intentionally created to help you solve a different facet of your personal marketing puzzle.
In-Depth Curriculum
Featuring more than 100+ hours of in-depth, highly-actionable video content, the PMA Lesson Library is the most comprehensive podcast marketing curriculum available.
Also available as a private podcast feed, the lessons will help you understand the key components of an effective podcast marketing strategy… and walk you through building it in real time.
Weekly Group Coaching
Each week, members have access to a 60-minute small-group coaching call with me.
On these calls, you’ll be able to bring your questions and get detailed advice, feedback, and recommendations from me, as well as the rest of the community.
Detailed Marketing Playbooks
While the curriculum will help you understand the essential components of an effective podcast marketing strategy, our detailed, step-by-step playbooks will walk you through building it out.
These playbooks are always being updated & expanded in order to give you the most up-to-date podcast marketing guides available.
Personal Feedback From Me
Trusted feedback from someone who understands your show, your goals, and how podcasting actually works is one of the scarcest resources available.
The feedback you receive in the Membership is honest, takes you, your show, and your goals around it into account, and is delivered with kindness.
Growth-Oriented Community
Unlike other podcast communities, the PMA Membership is made up of established creators, founders, producers, and marketers that are serious about growth.
The average member has produced more than 100 episodes and run their business for several years.
Full PMA Content Library
In addition to the PMA Foundation curriculum, members also get access to an extensive library of guest expert workshop, as well as my full library of paid workshops and courses.
Those workshops include:
- Roadmap to 5-Figure Sponsors
- The Podcast Traction Playbook
- The Minimalist Podcast Marketing Playbook
- Perfect Podcast Packaging
- And more
Every component of the membership has been designed with one goal in mind:
To eliminate as many roadblocks and as much friction between you and your show’s growth as possible.
“You never feel like you’re out there on your own doing this work of marketing your podcast.”
Build Your Podcast Growth Engine
Everything we do in the PMA Membership is designed to help you develop your own podcast growth engine. This means helping you build out systems around four essential components.
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.

With the EARS Framework as our overall strategic guide, you’ll build out 4 tactical systems that will power your podcast (and business) marketing strategy.
The Concept Catalyst
Our process for developing an easy-to-market podcast concept that eliminates competition and gets your ideal listeners eyes lighting up as soon as they come across it. (This is the secret sauce to all effective podcast marketing almost everyone ignores.)
The Infinity Loop
Where you’ll develop a cohesive, conversion-oriented content strategy based around your core IP & flagship offer (which we’ll develop together if you don’t already have it) that positions you as the expert and makes it unmistakably clear why your audience should buy from you.
The Email Engine
Our straightforward 3-part email market system that will grow your audience, surface hot leads, and accelerate your average client’s time to conversion… all while minimizing the amount of time you spend writing emails.
Lean Listener Acquisition
With the other systems thrumming along, we’ll develop a lean, focused exposure strategy designed to maximize your exposure to targeted pockets of your ideal listeners to maximize audience acquisition while minimizing effort.
The result is a high-octane Podcast Growth Engine personally tuned to you, your show, and your business to grow both your audience and your income.
Fearlessly Take On Your Next Marketing Challenge

Meet Your Marketing Coach
Hi, I’m Jeremy Enns, founder of Counterweight Creative and Podcast Marketing Academy.
Over the past 7 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.
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.”

“I’m really, really grateful. This was definitely the best investment I’ve made in my work. Probably ever. The service you provide is really wonderful and you do it with tremendous generosity and tremendous skill. So thank you.
– Omkari Williams
Stepping Into Truth
“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.”
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.
“The Academy has given me the fire again to be excited about new projects. Even with my old show, just since the start of the Academy the downloads have been going up even though I’m not posting new episodes. Just because I understand how to market and promote it better.
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.”
“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.
“It’s so incredible the diverse group of people you’ve 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 to be a part of it
It feels like a safe space to share and get some really helpful constructive criticism as well as be creative and get a boost when we need it.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
– Hal Hark
Raise Your Kids on Concerts
“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.”
– Aileen Smith
She Runs, Eats, Performs
“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.”
– Andrea Crisp
The Couragecast
“Jeremy’s genuine desire to help us succeed really came through. I appreciated his time on the calls and all the information he shared”
