STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
We know launching or growing a podcast comes with questions. Here are answers to the ones we get most often.
STILL NOT SURE?
Getting Started Questions
How do I know which program is right for me?
Great question. We offer two distinct pathways, and during your Strategy Call, we'll help you determine which aligns with your working style, timeline, and business goals.
Podcast Accelerator (Done-With-You Launch & Growth Program)
Best for: Experts who want hands-on involvement in building their show
Timeline: Launch in 4 months + 2 bonus months of monetization support (if you launch in 4 months)
Your role: You handle production with our guidance
Ideal if you: Enjoy the creative process, want to learn the systems, have time to dedicate to podcast production, or prefer collaborative strategy sessions
Authority Accelerator (Done-For-You Launch + Ongoing Production)
Best for: Thought leaders who want results without the time investment
Timeline: Launch in 30-60 days, then continuous weekly production support
Your role: Show up and record. We handle everything else.
Ideal if you: Are a high-level executive or busy founder, earn $100K+ and need to stay in your zone of genius, want white-glove turnkey podcast management, or prefer to focus on your message while we manage the production
The bottom line: If you want to be involved in the creative journey, choose Podcast Accelerator. If you want to show up, record, and let us handle the rest, choose Authority Accelerator.
What's the investment for each program?
We believe in transparency, but we also believe in customization.
Podcast Accelerator: Accessible pricing designed for entrepreneurs ready to build their authority platform collaboratively.
Authority Accelerator: Premium investment starting at custom pricing. Total value: $109,095+
During your strategy call, we'll discuss your specific needs and provide exact pricing based on your show's scope, frequency, and growth goals.
Why custom pricing? Because your podcast is unique. A weekly interview show has different needs than a solo thought leadership podcast. We price based on the value we deliver to YOUR business.
Can I switch programs later?
Absolutely. We're here to support your evolution as a podcaster.
Many clients start with the Podcast Accelerator to learn the ropes, then transition to Authority Accelerator once they're ready to scale and delegate. Others begin with Authority Accelerator and later want more hands-on involvement.
We'll help you transition smoothly between programs based on your changing needs, timeline, and business goals.
How quickly can I launch?
Podcast Accelerator: 4 months to launch (with 2 bonus months of monetization support if you meet the timeline)
Authority Accelerator: 30-60 days to launch
The evolution isn't optional. IT'S INEVITABLE. The question is: how fast do you want to move?
If you have a message that needs to be heard NOW, Authority Accelerator gets you to market faster. If you want to build a strong foundation while learning the systems, Podcast Accelerator gives you time to develop your voice.

This is where most podcasters fail, they launch, then fizzle out. Not with EVLVD.

What makes you different from other podcast services?
Let's be direct: We're not a plug-and-play production shop, and we don't take on everyone.
We partner with the world's best kept secret leaders, the ones quietly making waves, reshaping industries, and building movements. EVLVD is the unseen engine behind the voices that matter.
Here's what sets us apart:
Strategic Partnership, Not Just Production We don't just hit record. We architect your entire authority ecosystem. Every episode is designed with your business goals, monetization strategy, and audience journey in mind.
The 5 Podcaster Stages Framework We meet you where you are: Dreamer → Builder → Strategist → Authority → Legacy Leader From 0 to 100K downloads, we guide your evolution with precision.

That's exactly why we start with strategy, not production.
During your onboarding, we'll work together to:
Define your Ideal Client Connection and identify the exact audience you want to reach
Craft your Anchor Story, the personal narrative that makes your message unforgettable
Design Attention Grabbing Statements that stop scrollers in their tracks
Map your Offer-Aligned CTA Strategy so every episode drives business results
Your podcast isn't just a platform. It's a gateway to positioning, profits & power.
By the time you record your first episode, you'll have a crystal-clear message, a monetization plan, and a content strategy that positions you as THE authority in your space.
Will you help me repurpose my content?
Absolutely. In fact, it's built into the system.

Systems to use your podcast as a networking machine
The EVLVD approach: One recording. Infinite reach. We help you turn every episode into a multi-channel visibility engine.
Can I interview guests on my show?
Of course! Many of our clients run interview-style shows, and we help you:
Identify dream guests who align with your audience and business goals
Create outreach systems that get yeses from high-level leaders
Develop interview frameworks that create compelling conversations

STILL NOT SURE?
Monetization & Growth Questions
When can I start making money from my podcast?
From Day One.
Most podcasters wait until they have "enough" downloads. We flip the script.
The Evolved Podcasting Monetization Formula:
ATTENTION – Hook their attention with attention-grabbing statements and anchor stories
AUTHORITY – Retain their trust through consistent, strategic content and demonstrate authority
ACTION (Monetize) – Call them to action with clear CTAs, aligned offers, and ease of action
This triangle holds the three-part system that transforms your podcast from passion project to profit machine.
Real Results:
"I hit 750 downloads and sold out my offer, straight from the podcast. Evolved Podcasting delivers strategy and impact." – Ali Spittsbergen, CEO of For His Glory
"Evolved helped me monetize authentically, from Day One. With simple CTAs, I started attracting new clients and upselling, naturally and with ease." – Molly Hammill, Host of Her Unrealistic Ways
You don't need 10,000 downloads to make $10,000. You need the right strategy, and we give you that from episode one.
How do I grow my audience?
Growth isn't about luck. It's about strategy + consistency + systems.
The EVLVD 5-Stage Visibility Process:
CLARIFY – Define your audience, niche, and unique show concept
LAUNCH – Guide you through the podcasting process with expert tools and strategy
GROW – Develop a custom strategy with smart discovery and visibility tools and SEO
LEVERAGE – Repurpose episodes across your marketing channels and use your podcast as a networking machine
MONETIZE – Use your podcast to generate leads, book clients, and monetize without sounding salesy
Authority Accelerator clients also get:
Monthly Reporting + Visibility Growth Plan
Quarterly Strategy + Monetization Deep-Dives
Content System Tailored to Your Business Model
Distribution strategy across Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and more
The truth? Most podcasters focus on production. We focus on positioning and profit. That's how you grow.
Do I need a big audience before I start?
No. That's the beauty of podcasting.
You don't need:
A massive email list
100K Instagram followers
A bestselling book
You need:
A message that matters
A willingness to show up consistently
A strategic plan (which we provide)
Your podcast BUILDS your authority. It's not a reward for authority you already have.
Many of our clients launched with zero audience and used their podcast to:
Position themselves as go-to experts
Attract perfectly aligned clients
Build unshakable trust through consistent content
Create sustainable income without burning out
Start where you are. Build as you go. That's the EVLVD way.

Technical & Logistics Questions
What platforms will my podcast be on?
Your podcast will be distributed across all major platforms, including:
Spotify
Apple Podcasts
YouTube
And more
We help you handle all the technical setup, submission, and optimization so your show is discoverable everywhere your audience listens.
How often should I release episodes?
It depends on your goals, capacity, and audience.
Most of our clients publish:
Weekly: Best for building momentum and staying top-of-mind
Bi-weekly: Great if you have limited time but want consistency
What we recommend: Start with what's sustainable for you. Consistency beats frequency every time.
Authority Accelerator clients: We handle weekly production, so you can publish as often as you want without the production burden.
Podcast Accelerator clients: We'll help you design a publishing schedule that aligns with your capacity and business goals.
Do I need to be on video?
Not required, but highly recommended.
Video podcasting (YouTube, social clips) is one of the fastest-growing discovery channels. It also gives you:
More repurposing options (Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikToks)
Higher engagement on social media
Better connection with your audience
Authority Accelerator includes:
Video + Audio production for every episode
Optimized video editing for YouTube and social platforms
Podcast Accelerator includes:
Guidance on whether video makes sense for your show
Best practices for recording video if you choose to
Bottom line: Audio-only is fine, but video amplifies your reach.
What if I'm camera shy or don't like my voice?
We hear this ALL the time. Here's the truth:
Everyone feels this way at first. Even the most confident speakers feel weird hearing their own voice or seeing themselves on camera.
What we've learned: Your audience doesn't notice what you notice. They hear your message, not your vocal quirks. They see your authenticity, not your "bad angles."
What we do to help:
Professional audio editing that makes you sound polished
Video editing that highlights your best moments
Coaching on how to relax and be yourself on mic
Ongoing feedback to help you improve your delivery
The more you do it, the more natural it becomes. By episode 10, you'll wonder why you were ever nervous.
