You have a podcast that you love, but you’re discouraged that it’s not reaching more people.
You don’t have a thousand dollars to spend on marketing.
You don’t have a thousand hours to spend promoting your show via social media or reading books about growth-strategy.
But you still feel a deep pull to get the word out about your show and find the people who need it!
If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.
Who is the teacher?
Hi! I’m Rachel Nielson, mom of two miracle babies and host of the 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms podcast. I would love to teach you how to grow your podcast in both reach and impact.
When I started my show three years ago, I honestly didn’t know if anyone would listen. I was a stay-at-home mom with no business background or social media following, but I felt an undeniable tug in my heart to help women feel more at home in their motherhood.
My first month of podcasting my show got 300 downloads.
Now, my show gets 150,000 downloads per month.
It still shocks, delights, and humbles me to know that moms all over the world are listening to my voice each week.
But what matters to me even more than download numbers are the emails and messages I receive every week from individual mothers who tell me that my podcast has changed everything for them in their journey as a mother. I mean, what an honor!
YOUR podcast is making this kind of difference to individuals too, and I want to teach you the strategies that I’ve used to reach more people – because I know that there are individuals all over the world who need your voice.
You’ve already done the hard work of getting your show started. I would be honored to help you take it to the next level.
How does the course work?
I designed this course with another very experienced podcaster, Monica Packer from the show About Progress.
We have grown our successful podcasts from the ground up, without spending any money on marketing.
As we thought about how we did this, we considered how trees grow in nature – they have to grow their root-system in order to support their branch-system.
This is true for podcasts too! So this course is set up with two parts: First, grow your ROOTS, then grow your REACH.
Part 1: Grow your Roots
Intro: Why It's Risky to Obsess Over Download Stats + What to Focus on Instead
Lesson 1: How to Deeply Know Your Listener
Lesson 2: How to Dramatically Improve Each of your Episodes
Lesson 3: How to Offer Your Listeners a Transformation
Part 2: Grow your Reach
Lesson 4: How to Grow your Show by Pouring into ONE Social Media Channel
Lesson 5: How to Grow your Show by Creating a Great Experience for your Guests
Lesson 6: How to Create a Standout Pitch to Guest on Other Shows
Lesson 7: How to Authentically Collaborate with Influencers
Lesson 8: Intro to Monetization!
Sign me up for the course!If these lessons sound too simple, don’t be deceived.
These are the steps that I took to steadily grow my show to be ranked #2 under the Kids & Family category in iTunes (January '19), with over 1,900 ratings and reviews today.
Wherever you are on your podcasting journey, I know I can help you deepen your roots and broaden your reach, and I would be truly honored to be your guide.

"My podcast is growing every week by applying the principles taught in this course. My two favorite parts of the class are 1) the modules are short and power-packed with relevant information, and 2) the actions that they ask us to take after each module are USEFUL and without fluff. An added bonus is that Rachel and Monica are so relatable that I feel like I have two new friends in my corner. This course is well worth the investment! "
Sara Payne
host of The Doctor's Wife Podcast
"Before Podcast U, I knew our podcast could be better and have a bigger reach, but I felt totally frustrated with how to make that happen. Why were we getting great feedback personally yet no one was sharing our episodes with others? How could we pick topics that our audience would really care about? How could we use social media to grow? Podcast U answered all my questions and gave me the support I needed to move forward. The quality of our episodes has improved. I feel confident that I know who our audience is and what they want. We are using social media to connect with our community. Instead of spending my time questioning my every move, I’m having fun again!"
Lauren Skinner
host of Happy Town Porchcast
"Podcast U has allowed me to use my voice in a way that I’ve always wanted but never been able to. Rachel and Monica have created such an invaluable space. It is so nice to connect with people who are on the journey with you and mentors who are further along the path lighting the way for you."
