You’re launching something new—yay! You’ve got the offer. The strategy. The landing page. The energy. And you know your podcast could be a major asset in getting the word out.
But then the doubts creep in…
“How many times can I talk about this offer without sounding desperate?”
“Will I annoy my audience if I mention it again?”
“Should I just keep this episode educational and hope they click the link?”
Let’s clear this up once and for all: Your podcast audience wants to hear from you. They want to learn from you. And yes—they want to buy from you, when the time is right and the message connects.
The key? It’s not about talking less about your offer.
It’s about talking about it better.
Let’s dig into how to do that.
Remember What Your Podcast Is Really Doing During a Launch
When you use your podcast during a launch, you’re not just “announcing” an offer.
You’re helping listeners:
- Understand the problem they’re facing
- See the possibility that exists beyond that problem
- Trust that you are the person to help them get there
- Take the next step—whatever that looks like
Your podcast isn’t the sales page. It’s the runway that gets them ready to land there.
Here’s What to Say on Your Show (That Builds Curiosity, Not Resistance)
You don’t need to dedicate an entire episode to just pitching your offer. In fact, the most effective launch episodes sound like genuine conversations with a friend—one who knows what they’re doing.
Here are a few strategic types of content to create during your launch:
1. The Origin Story of the Offer
Pull back the curtain on why you created your offer in the first place.
Was there a gap in the market? A struggle your clients kept facing? A lesson from your own journey?
When you tell this story, it builds emotional connection and gives your offer meaning. It’s no longer “just another coaching program.” It’s a solution born from experience.
2. The Mistakes People Make Without Support
Create an episode that walks through common missteps you see in your niche—and explain why those things don’t work. Not in a “fear-mongering” way, but in a “here’s a better path” kind of way.
Then, naturally tie in how your offer helps avoid those pitfalls.
3. A Client Success Story That Mirrors Your Listener
This one is gold. Share a client transformation that hits close to home for your audience.
Highlight where the client started, what shifted, and where they are now—because of your process.
Want it to really convert? Use the client’s own words (with permission!) and reflect on what it took to get there.
4. A Thought-Provoking Question or Framework
Create an episode around one simple but powerful idea. Maybe it’s 3 questions to ask before making a big move. Maybe it’s a mindset shift your audience hasn’t considered yet.
Then use your CTA to invite them to go deeper with you inside your offer.
What to Avoid During a Launch (Because It Does Feel Salesy)
- Reading your sales page verbatim
- Only talking about features or logistics
- Over-apologizing for promoting (you don’t need to say “sorry” for inviting someone into something helpful!)
- Assuming they already understand the value
Instead, teach, guide, and connect. Then—invite.
The Bottom Line? Selling on Your Podcast Shouldn’t Feel Gross
If you’re showing up with heart, strategy, and a belief in the transformation you offer, your audience will feel that.
And the ones who are ready? They’ll say yes.
The magic is in how you frame the conversation—not how many times you say your offer name.
