No. 052 How Jerod Grew Revenue by 1200% and Doubled Subscribers to The Assembly Call

Jerod Morris and Jon Nastor on March 30, 2016

Hosting and running a podcast is (thankfully) a lot of fun. If it wasn’t, most of us probably would have quit our shows a long time ago, because it is a lot of hard work.

Aside from the personal satisfaction and minor ego boosts we get from hosting a podcast, there are two metrics that define whether or not we are heading in the right direction: revenue and subscribers.

In this episode, Jerod Morris takes us behind the curtain in our first official case study episode.

For five years Jerod has been running his niche podcast The Assembly Call, as a post-game show for Indiana University basketball games.

Last season, Jerod and his co-hosts decided to put some Showrunner tactics into action and created themselves a strategy to increase subscribers, listener engagement, and revenue.

Today’s case study is going to dive into exactly how Jerod grew revenue by 1200% and doubled subscribers in less than four months!

Let’s jump into it!

In this episode Jerod and Jonny discuss:

  • The four layers of revenue Jerod used to grow revenue by 1200%
  • The one thing Jerod said in an email to boost sales
  • Exactly how Jerod landed 192 new email subscribers
  • Jerod’s plan to continue to grow revenue for The Assembly Call
