Start with the end in mind

Before diving into the intricacies, it's crucial to clearly define your core offer. Articulating the value proposition of your offer will serve as the foundation for crafting a compelling narrative for your Limited Series Podcast.

In the case of Capsho, our core offer is the Capsho Club, a comprehensive membership that provides access to the Capsho NextGen software, weekly training on the Honeytrap method, and hands-on hackathons to implement the strategies learned.

By identifying this offer as the focal point, you can tailor your funnel to showcase its benefits and address the specific pain points of your target audience.

Choose the topic of your Limited Series Podcast 

Once you've defined your core offer, it's time to define the topic you wil cover across the 20-odd episodes of your Limited Series Podcast. 

This topic should be the topic that you are already an expert in or want to be known to be an expert in. 

The Limited Series Podcast format works really well for breaking down a framework or methodology you teach and want to be known for.

In the case of Capsho, we chose the Honey Trap Method, Deirdre's proprietary framework for getting more leads and clients from your content. 

This strategic approach consists of the following key components:

1. Content Event: This is the central piece of long-form content that serves as the entry point for your audience. It could be a podcast episode, a live webinar, or a pre-recorded video. The primary purpose of the content event is to pique interest and direct your audience to the next stage: the bridge funnel.

2. Bridge Funnel: This is where the magic happens. The bridge funnel is a carefully crafted sequence of content or offers designed to nurture your audience and guide them toward your core offer. It could be a lead magnet, a mini-course, or a free trial – the possibilities are endless.

3. Pull Content: Effective content promotion is crucial for driving traffic to your content event and bridge funnel. Pull content refers to repurposed snippets, social media posts, blog articles, and other content designed to entice your audience and pull them back to your funnel.

4. Push Content: Complementing your pull content strategy, push content involves proactive promotion and outreach efforts to raise awareness and drive interest in your upcoming content event. This could include email campaigns, social media teasers, or strategic collaborations with influencers or partners.

One of the unique advantages of implementing the Limited Series Podcast funnel is its inherent discoverability.

By strategically incorporating relevant keywords and search terms into the naming and content of your funnel, you increase the chances of your target audience stumbling upon your valuable resources organically.

Continual refinement and adaptation is key 

Once your limited series podcast is live, regularly monitor engagement metrics, conversion rates, and audience feedback to identify areas for improvement and opportunities to enhance your funnel's effectiveness.

Ask for direct feedback from your audience through surveys, social media interactions, or even personalized outreach. Their insights can provide invaluable perspectives on what resonates, what falls flat, and what adjustments could further elevate their experience.

By embracing a data-driven and audience-centric approach, you can iteratively refine your bridge funnel, ensuring it remains relevant, engaging, and aligned with your audience's evolving needs and preferences.

By focusing on delivering value, nurturing relationships, and optimizing for discoverability, you can create a seamless journey that converts casual browsers into loyal advocates for your brand and offer.
