Podcast During Your Pre-Launch? How to Use It

If you’re running a launch and wondering what to do with your podcast, I have good news—it’s one of your most powerful pre-launch tools. But most people don’t use it strategically. In this episode of Before the Launch, I’m answering a listener question that hits home for a lot of my clients:

How do you use a podcast during your pre-launch?

Why your podcast matters more than ever

We’re in a “trust recession.” With AI-generated content everywhere, people crave real voices and real faces. Your podcast during your pre-launch gives them both. When they can hear you, understand your thought process, and connect with your personality? You’re building trust without selling a thing.

Use your podcast during your pre-launch as your weekly anchor

During a pre-launch, every week should have a theme—and your podcast during your pre-launch becomes the anchor for that theme. Whether you’re handling objections, dismantling myths, or helping your audience future pace success, your podcast during your pre-launch is the perfect place to plant those seeds.

Talk about this before you pitch anything

Here’s the million-dollar question I ask all my clients:

 What do people need to hear, see, and believe before they’re ready to buy from you?

That’s your podcast roadmap. Every episode of your podcast during your pre-launch should move them closer to being mentally and emotionally ready for your offer.

And when should you actually pitch?

I don’t recommend pitching your program until doors open. BUT mentioning that something’s coming? Totally fine (and helpful). Early mentions let your audience prep their schedules and their wallets. You’re not selling yet—you’re helping them start thinking.

Want more like this?

I cover all of this (and more!) in Episode 8 of Before the Launch. Tune in now to learn how to turn your podcast during your pre-launch into a strategic launch tool that builds trust and primes your audience—without sounding like a sales machine.

LAUNCH AND MESSAGING
STRATEGIST & COPYWRITER

Before the Launch is where I say the things I usually reserve for private calls and DMs—because you deserve the real story behind what actually works when it comes to launches. 

I help entrepreneurs (like you) pre-sell offers, warm up buyers, and make selling feel a heck of a lot less stressful. 

This podcast helps you figure out what to say (and when to say it) so your audience is ready to buy before you ever open the cart.
