Welcome to your podcast growth mini-course!

Welcome! 👋

If you’re looking for strategies to grow your podcast while working more efficiently, this mini-course was built in an underground laboratory just for you.*

*OK, we didn’t build it in an underground lab 🧪, but it WAS built with you in mind!

What you’ll learn

Each lesson breaks down a key part of podcast growth and community-building, including:

• How to think about audience growth as a community, not just an audience funnel

• What makes listeners want to support a show financially

• How to use Patreon to connect with listeners and retain them

• Where to focus your limited time and energy for the biggest impact

Your guide: Joe from Midnight Burger

This course is grounded in real creator experience, featuring Joe Fisher, creator of the audio drama Midnight Burger.

What started as a fun pandemic project with friends grew into a thriving, listener-supported show. Since launching their Patreon in 2021, Midnight Burger has grown to:

• Over 11,000 members on Patreon, with over 6,00 of them paid members

• Around $30,000 per month in revenue

Joe didn't get there by accident. He focused on community, made intentional choices, and treated listener support as a core part of the show. And he’s sharing his best tips with you. The best part: these tips are relevant no matter how much you’re earning today.
