The Grow The Show Accelerator System

What you will implement inside GTS Pro:

Kevin teaching the system at Podfest

The Grow The Show System is the four-step program that Kevin Chemidlin has used to grow his own podcasts past 500,000+ downloads while generating $2.28+ million for his businesses in 5 years.

It's made up of four pillars that, together, enable a podcaster to finally achieve growth + monetization.

STEP 1: Get More Specific with Your Premise + Target Audience

In order for your podcast to stand out from the pack, you need to have what we call a CAT1 PREMISE.

Meaning, your show is truthfully in a Category of One.

When you have a CAT1 Premise, it is instantly and immediately obvious to your listeners:

1. WHO the show is for, specifically

2. WHAT it will do FOR them, specifically

3. HOW it will do it for them.

If your podcast is yet another show that offers "unfiltered conversations," "different perspectives," or "stories from all walks of life," you will lose the battle for your listeners' attention to a show much bigger than yours.

​

Step One in Action:

Brian Leubben got access to the GTS Accelerator System in November, 2021.

At that point, only his friends and family were listening to his podcast.

STEP 2: Stop LOSING Listeners & Viewers, Focus on Retention

Everybody wants to GET MORE listeners.

But what about the listeners you already have?

Are they actually sticking around?

Have you checked your episode Completion Rates lately?

Most podcasters never look at their Completion Rates, and then wonder why their audience isn't growing.

Newsflash: you don't have a growth problem. You have a retention problem.

Listeners tune into your show for the first time, and within 5 minutes of pressing play, you lose their attention, and they switch over to their favorite true crime show.

When you change your focus to KEEPING listeners, oftentimes your download numbers will go up without changing your growth strategy.

That's because you fixed the hidden hole in your audience bucket, and now the water level can rise.

​

Step Two in Action:

Nate Palmer got access to the Grow The Show System in October 2022.

At that point, he had roughly 12,000 downloads per month. Pretty good!

STEP 3: Get New Listeners WHERE THEY LISTEN (via other podcasts!)

The biggest lie that is holding podcasters down is that the best place to get new listeners is everywhere except on other podcasts.

The most effective and efficient way to get new podcast listeners is not by getting them where they scroll, where they search, or where they read.

It's getting listeners where they listen.

So, how can you do that in a systemized way, on autopilot?

The answer is our flagship growth framework, Targeted Podcast Pitching.

TPP involves identifying the podcasts that already have your future listeners' attention, and getting you featured there so that those listeners can discover your podcast and become YOUR listeners.

This framework takes only a couple of hours of work per month, and is hands-down the most fun growth strategy of them all.

It's how we've driven 10%-60% month-over-month listener growth for our clients since 2020, and it's the strategy that will get your podcast unstuck.

Step Three in Action:

Anna Dearmon Kornick got access to the GTS Accelerator System in July 2020.

Back then, she had 1,300 downloads per month.

STEP 4: Monetize!

Podcasting is fun by itself, but it's even more fun when you get paid to podcast.

And, whether you're a business owner, an influencer, or simply a content creator, the single way to monetize your audience is by getting them to buy stuff.

That stuff can be either a product/service that you make (courses, coaching, etc), OR a product/service that somebody else makes (sponsors and affiliates).

But, no matter which way you monetize, you're going to need to get your listeners to buy things if you want your podcast to drive revenue.

Thankfully, we've got proven frameworks and templates for how to convert listeners to buyers - all you need to do is learn how to talk about the products and services in a way that is not sales-y and not icky.

It's totally possible, and when you get it right, listeners actually love hearing you recommend products to them. It's a win-win for everybody!

Step Four in Action:

Mario Minnert got access to the Grow The Show System in November 2022.

At that point, his show wasn't the size that he wanted it to be.

However... he did have some listeners.

Within days of working with us, we showed him how to convert listeners to buyers.

Kevin Chemidlin is an award-winning entrepreneur, podcaster, and founder of Grow The Show: an industry-renowned, podcast-growth-hacking company with hundreds of clients worldwide.

Through Grow The Show, Kevin has spent over five years reimagining how podcasts grow, throwing out the traditional advice for a proprietary playbook that he’s battle-tested directly with hundreds of podcast businesses.

The mission of Grow The Show is to make it easy for podcasters to grow and monetize their shows.

Kevin Chemidlin and Grow The Show only work one-on-one with 3% of podcasters that apply, but the tactics they teach and the playbook they utilize can be used by any podcaster serious about growth.

This was the reason behind the creation of the Grow The Show Academy.

Kevin wanted a way to transform more podcasts without them having to pay the $7,000-$15,000 price tag typically associated with Grow The Show. 

The Grow The Show Academy is everything a podcaster needs to rapidly and profitably grow their podcast to new heights without any of the guesswork, for a price so low it’s almost ridiculous.

Kevin has used what is inside the Grow The Show Academy to help establish multiple six and seven-figure podcasters.

In his spare time, he enjoys putting on hilariously over-the-top electronic music concerts for his friends.

He worked to get clear on his PREMISE, and made it clear WHO his show was for & WHAT it would do for them.

Today, he's living the life of his dreams.

Fast forward 1.5 years, and his audience has exploded:

  • 50,000 Downloads/month (as of April 2023)
  • 110K+ Instagram Followers
  • $1.3M Annual Recurring Revenue

Brian was able to achieve CLARITY, and build a Seven-Figure Podcast business.

That podcast business enabled him to quit his corporate job and travel the world.

If he had not made his podcast premise more clear, he would have been stuck with a podcast that never gets more than 200 downloads per episode.

Now, through his podcast, he helps other corporate employees to achieve financial freedom, all while generating over $1M/year for himself.

The problem? Those weren't the same 12k listeners each mont.

His show was LOSING LISTENERS.

So, we fixed that.

Nate was losing listeners.

​

After he got access to Grow The Show, he made his show better at keeping attention.

After Nate STOPPED LOSING LISTENERS, guess what happened?

His show tripled in 3 months.

And it's still growing!

Your listeners never buy your stuff

Your podcast was launched to support your business, and you do have some listeners. But, for some reason, you've never actually got clients or customers from your podcast. What gives!

What problems will the

 Grow The Show Academy help you solve?

The Grow The Show Academy is for you if you're facing any of the following challenges:

Your podcast audience has been stuck at the same level for months

You're publishing consistently, and you have been for a while. You've posted on social media, you've asked your guests to share, and you've repurposed your content. But, you get the same number of downloads each and every week, and you're wondering if it's all worth it.

You're doing everything yourself

Host. Producer. Researcher. Editor. Social Media Manager. Copywriter. Marketer. Video Editor. Heck, you're even your own Virtual Assistant! Just producing one episode takes half your week, and you don't see how on earth you could possibly grow this thing WHILE doing all that.

You don't know if your listeners are actually sticking around

Retention Rate? What's that? It's the secret thing that's killing your podcast, that's what.

You see no path to Podcast ROI

You love making the show, but it's starting to not make sense for you to spend so much time on it. After all, it's not making any money. You're wondering when or even if you'll get an ROI on all this time, money, and energy that you've invested into this project.

You're not sure who exactly your target audience is

You've heard everybody talking about niching down, and about getting more specific with your audience. But, how do you actually do that? How do you know if you've gotten specific enough?

It's time to monetize, but you don't know how to

You know that you could have sponsors to your podcast, you just don't have the faintest clue how to reach out to them or how to get them to partner with you. Do you join a network? Do you do automatic ads from Buzzsprout or Anchor? How much do you even charge?

The podcast advice you've gotten isn't working

The podcast community is friendly and helpful, but the vast majority of podcasters (and many podcast coaches) haven't actually been there, done that. They regurgitate lessons they hear on YouTube, but for some reason, their advice has not translated into success for you...

You don't have the right growth strategy, and you need help making one

After all, if you did, your show would be growing.

It has never been a better time to be a podcaster: more listeners are tuning in than ever. 

In a world where everybody is fighting for 6 seconds of attention, podcasting is the only place where listeners will give you 60 minutes of time.

There's no better way to build a deep connection to an audience of raving fans who will spread the word, support your work, and buy your stuff.

However...

The podcast industry is currently drowning in bad advice.

Advice like: 

  • Grow your podcast by repurposing short-form-video clips!
  • Use SEO-Optimized show notes to expand your reach!
  • Getting your guests to share is the best way to grow!

...if these have been your strategies to grow, that's why you haven't.

And it's not your fault for thinking this is how it's done.

The folks who gave you that advice meant well, and they believed what they were telling you.

But, those podcasters either:

1. Have not grown a podcast audience themselves.

2. They did, but they did so before 2020 when the podcast industry underwent a massive transformation.

What works to grow a show is constantly evolving.

So, in order to stay on top of the latest of what's working, you need to learn from podcasters who are successfully growing today.

That's why I built the Grow The Show Academy.

Inside the Grow The Show Academy, we are podcasters from across the world who are all growing our audiences using strategies that work now. 

Not only will the Grow The Show Academy push you to implement what works, but you'll also get to skip the trial-and-error phase and get right to implementation.

If you're a serious podcaster who wants your show's growth to power a thriving business, the Grow The Show Academy is for you.
