The Two-Channel Rule: A System for Growing Expert Podcasts

The Two-Channel Rule: A System for Growing Expert Podcasts

Author: Dan Sanchez November 27, 2025 Duration: 34:50

In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez and co-host Ken Freire address the single biggest flaw in podcasting: the lack of organic distribution. To overcome this, they introduce the "Two-Channel Rule," a strategy that pairs your long-form audio content with a specific short-form social platform to drive real growth. Dan and Ken break down why LinkedIn is often the best choice for B2B creators, how to network through comments without being spammy, and why you must treat your social profile like a high-converting landing page.
