Are you an expert who’s passionate about sharing your knowledge and insights through a podcast? Do you dream of expanding your reach, increasing your downloads, and establishing yourself as a trusted authority in your niche?
Have you been podcasting for a while and feel like you’ve plateaued?
If you are looking to gain more listeners, make a greater impact in your community, and have the desire to be seen as an authority or thought leader in your niche, you’ve come to the right place.
As one of the top podcast marketing coaches in the industry, I’m here to help you unlock your podcast’s true potential and skyrocket your success!
I help experts top the podcasting charts, build word of mouth buzz, and become the go-to podcast in their niche.
My coaching clients go from 100 downloads to 1,000 per month by focusing on long-term podcast marketing strategies.
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 Women of Color in the podcasting industry.
In 2023, Ausha named me one of the best podcast coaching services to grow your show. 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 (a huge honor!!!).
I help aspiring and established expert professionals grow their audiences by becoming sought after and well-known industry leaders.
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 personal brands or businesses. 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 9 active 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 150 podcasts, and as a sought-after podcasting expert, I have spoken at dozens of events worldwide.
Now I’m sharing the mindset shifts and practical marketing strategies I have used to grow podcasts and become well-known 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 attract new opportunities. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all program, I customize each to suit your interests and growth needs.
Whether you’re just starting out or have an existing podcast, my personalized coaching approach will equip you with the knowledge, strategies, and tools needed to grow your downloads, engage your audience, and establish your authority in the podcasting world.
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 complimentary 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would we meet?
We meet monthly so you have enough time to implement action items from our last call. This coaching program is flexible, so pick and choose the dates and times that work best for you.
How much time would I need to allocate to this program?
In addition to our (1) hour monthly coaching calls, I recommend carving out 1-3 hours a week to implement your podcast marketing strategy.
I’m not a fan of promoting my podcast on social media, is that bad?
Not at all! With changing algorithms, and the short lifespan of a social media post, I teach my clients ways they can leverage their website and other more effective marketing strategies. Yes, social media can simply be a place where you socialize with your fans and build brand awareness.
