The Problem
With over 5 million podcasts on the Internet today, OBSCURITY and feeling INVISIBLE is common for today’s Christian podcaster.
You work so hard to produce quality episodes but battle discouragement because you don’t have the kind of IMPACT you want to see.
This is precisely why many podcasters quit.
Some podcasters join podcast networks that require you to run ads. But this is ineffective.
Some require that you use THEIR podcast platform exclusively (which means you have to stop your current podcast and use their platforms).
Facebook groups for podcasters are a dime a dozen, and most don’t allow you to promote your podcast.
Among the few that allow “self-promotion,” most of the people in those groups are only interested in promoting THEIR own podcasts.
So promoting your podcast in those groups is ineffective at gaining many new subscribers and downloads.
Another Problem
The best form of getting new listeners to your podcast is by being interviewed by other podcasters and authors.
For this reason, there are a few podcast services that are designed to link you with podcasters who will interview you, but the price for those services is between $26 a month (that’s $312 a year) and $57 a month (that’s $684 a year)!
There is also NO community on those platforms. It’s sterile and unfriendly.
Based on feedback from authors who have been on these networks, the results are poor and not worth the money.
So while this option appears good at first blush, it’s really another problem that won’t bring you where you want to go.
A New Solution
The Deeper Journey Podcast Cross-Promotion Group is a brand new approach.
It’s run by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Frank Viola.
Frank has written over 15 books published by the largest publishing houses in the world – Tyndale, Thomas Nelson, Baker, and David C. Cook.
Nine (9) of his books have been bestsellers.
(See his about page showing endorsements from some of the leading Christian voices of our generation.)
Frank’s published books combined have sold over 600,000 copies (that’s not counting the audio books and foreign translations).
He also has two acclaimed podcasts that generate enormous traffic.
THE INSURGENCE PODCAST (fairly new) has over 625,000 downloads and ranked #9 in “Religion” on Apple Podcasts.
The CHRIST IS ALL PODCAST has over 2 million downloads and ranked #1 and #2 on Apple Podcasts in the USA and Canada in “Christianity.”
Here’s what you get when you join The Deeper Journey Podcast Cross-Promotion Group.
There are six benefits; please read them all.
Benefit 1) Access to a private Facebook group to network, discuss, and receive feedback from other Christian podcasters who also join the group, including Frank who will answer questions and facilitate the cross-promotions. Lifetime access to this group is guaranteed.
Benefit 2) You will interview Frank on your podcast on the topic of one of his 11 most recent books. In turn, Frank will REPLAY the interview on his “Christ is All” podcast (1.9+ million downloads) which will introduce you and your podcast to thousands of new listeners. (Your name, podcast name, and who the podcast is for will be mentioned in the beginning of the replay.) The replay promoting your podcast is guaranteed.
Benefit 3) Frank will tweet the replay of your interview to his 35,000+ followers on his verified Twitter account (he’s only following 7 people). The tweet is guaranteed.
Benefit 4) After your interview with Frank goes live, he will do a short 5-question print interview with you where you will promote your podcast to his audience. The print interview will be published on his Patheos blog called The Deeper Journey. (He has interviewed other A-list authors like N.T. Wright, Ann Voskamp, Gretchen Carlson, and others. The normal price for an interview on Frank’s Patheos blog is $497, but it comes free when you join the group. Frank doesn’t normally interview guests on his two podcasts so the print blog interview will take its place.) This promotional interview is guaranteed.
Benefit 5) In the private Facebook group, Frank will provide a link to the print interview and everyone else in the group will be encouraged to post the link on their social media feeds. He will also put a link to the replay of the interview from his podcast. And you can post the link to your interview with everyone, as well as any podcast episode you feel is significant. Everyone is encouraged to share these links on their social media feeds. This is cross-promotion at its best. The links Frank will provide in the group are guaranteed.
Benefit 6) You will receive an opportunity to be interviewed by the other podcasters in the group. This will be encouraged by Frank and his assistant. The encouragement from Frank is guaranteed.
Because we want The Deeper Journey Podcast Cross-Promotion Group to be affordable for every one, the price for LIFETIME access is only $95 USD — a one-time payment. (The regular price is $147.)
And it includes everything described above.
NO monthly payments. NO recurring fees. Just a one-time fee for lifetime access.
READ THIS FIRST CAREFULLY – REQUIREMENTS
The Deeper Journey Podcast Cross-Promotion Group holds to the historic evangelical orthodox tenants of the Christian faith held by Jesus followers throughout the ages.
Those historical tenants are:
*The Bible is divinely inspired and true.
*There is only one eternal God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
*Jesus of Nazareth was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was and is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of the world, was raised from the dead (bodily and physically), and lives today at the right hand of God the Father. He also dwells in all His people by the Spirit.
*If anyone desires the forgiveness of their sins, they must repent and believe that Jesus is Savior and Lord, and they will be forgiven and receive His indwelling Spirit. (Unconditional universalism – which asserts that every human will receive eternal life apart from repentance and faith in Jesus Christ in this life or after death – is a false teaching.)
*According to the Bible, marriage is between one biological man and one biological woman.
*Sex outside the marital bond, which is between a biological man married to a biological woman, is condemned in Scripture.
If your podcast deviates from the above historic orthodox tenants of the Christian faith and promotes beliefs and/or practices that contradict these tenants, this group is not a good fit for your podcast and we cannot be involved in cross promotion.
ONE MORE: If your podcast degrades, criticizes, warns against, or calls into question the faith of specific believers or leaders who claim to follow Jesus BY NAMING THEM, we aren’t a good fit for your podcast either.
For example, some podcasts are dedicated to naming teachers and authors who they think are “heretics” or “dangerous.” Example: “Pastor Fielding Melish is a heretic, and he is dangerous too.”
From our perspective, there are many problems with this, one of them being that a so-called “heretic” today is in the eye of the beholder. And most people who denounce others by name have never gone to them first in private to share their concerns or ask if what they heard about them is true or not (a violation of Matthew 18). Therefore, we cannot collaborate with podcasts that engage in this activity (1 Corinthians 4:5; Matthew 13:24-30).
Please do not register if you cannot agree with the above requirements.
If you agree with all of the above tenants, you are eligible to join the group.
