Danielle Desir Podcast Marketing Coach

Podcast Marketing Coach For Growth-Minded Podcasters

Danielle Desir Corbett is a podcast marketing coach with over 4 years of podcasting experience and 7 years of blogging experience. In addition to being a guest on over 100 shows, she has worked with brands like Expedia, Citizens Bank, Hilton Hotels, and more. In 2021, she quit her six-figure job to become a multi-six-figure creative entrepreneur.

Have you been podcasting for a while and feel like you’ve plateaued?

Your growth has flatlined, and you’re losing steam. Are you ready for your show to lead to bigger things like income, speaking gigs, or clients?

I help podcasters fall back in love with their show and explore all the opportunities it can bring by smashing the growth ceiling.

My coaching clients go from 100 downloads to 1,000 per month by focusing on long-term podcast marketing strategies. They get invited to speak on stages, use their shows to be seen as subject matter experts, and feel confident pitching and negotiating sponsorships and brand deals. They know what they want and how their show will get them there.

Hey there, I’m Danielle Desir Corbett – 4x author, 4x grant-funded podcaster, and founder of WOC Podcasters (Women of Color), a podcasting community amplifying the voice of Women of Color in the podcasting industry. In 2022, I was named a must-follow podcast coach by Rephonic for sharing “things she’s implementing right now for her own show and feedback on how her coaching clients are achieving their goals. All in her own super relatable way.” I also had the honor of being named one of the Black podcasting creatives making podcasting history by Libsyn.

I help overworked podcasters grow their audiences, improve their visibility and make more money by implementing long-term growth strategies.

Sorry to break it to you. Creating great content is only half of the equation. When it comes to growth, you need to get your content in front of as many potential new listeners as possible without burning yourself out.

Far too often, I see podcasters focusing only on creating new episodes without strategically thinking through how they will promote their archive of existing work or how this content contributes to growing their business. There are also more effective and less time-consuming ways to market your show than social media.

When I first started my podcast in 2018, I wanted to get my name out there. As a travel and personal finance blogger, I already had an existing audience, but I wanted to be known as an expert in my niche.

Since then, my podcast has helped me expand my professional network and scale my side hustle to become a full-time content creator with over 17 income streams.

As a result of strategically marketing my podcast, I have grown The Thought Card Podcast to over 100,000 podcast downloads in 3 years without ad spending. I have also been a featured guest on over 100 podcasts, and as a sought-after podcasting expert, I have spoken at dozens of podcasting events worldwide.

Now I’m sharing the mindset shifts and practical marketing strategies I have used to grow my podcast and monetize in my 1:1 Podcast Marketing Coaching Program.

While most podcast coaches focus on getting started, I specialize in podcast growth, supporting my 1:1 coaching clients as they build authority, nurture a growing audience, and create lucrative income streams. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all program, I customize each to suit your interests and growth needs.

Every podcast is different, so I won’t give you cookie-cutter advice.

If you are ready to get your name out there and realize the fruits of your labor (because let’s be real here, podcasting is a grind), then I invite you to book a free 20-minute 1:1 interest call with me. We’ll get to know each other and see if working together would be a good fit.
