Other Podcast Outro Ideas

You could have a slightly longer outro if you’re trying to convey something specific, like pointing people to your website to join a mailing list. That way they get access to exclusive information, bonus content, show notes, and you’ll have a reason to email them when a new episode drops to keep people coming back for more.

Example 1: The Simple and Direct

“Thank you so much for tuning in to [podcast name]. If you enjoyed the show, please visit [website] to find links to today’s resources and connect with us. And stay tuned – next week, we’ll cover [next episode topic]. Until then!”

Example 2: Community Oriented

“We love hearing from you! Join the conversation at [social media handle] or leave a comment below. What do you think about [episode topic]? Also, if you found this episode helpful, share it with a friend who could benefit too. Don’t forget to tune in next time when we discuss [next episode topic].”

Alt Outro Ideas

You could also drop a “trailer” of sorts for the upcoming episode with a highlight or two of what’s to come, behind the scenes content, or answer user questions.

Guest Speaker Teaser: Include a short clip from your following interview.
Blooper Reel: Share some behind-the-scenes fun (great for casual shows)
Q&A Segment: Answer a frequently asked question.

Why Should You Care About Outros?

Reinforcement: Repeat your podcast’s name and core message – make it stick!
Call to Action (CTA): The Gateway to Growth and Monetization

Your outro’s CTA is prime real estate. Treat it as your podcast’s storefront, and use it wisely! Here’s how to leverage this space for audience growth and potential profit:

- Drive Traffic to a Website/Blog: Your website is your central hub. Guide listeners there with a compelling reason:
  - “Access exclusive bonus content at [website name] – we’ve got downloadable worksheets, checklists, and more.”
  - “Deepen your learning on [topic]! Grab our curated resource guide or e-book on [website name].”
- Grow an Email List: An email list is marketing gold because it means people are already interested in your offer. Offer something valuable for signing up:
  - “Get podcast updates, insider tips, and members-only offers delivered directly to your inbox. Sign up at [website name]”
  - “Subscribe to our weekly newsletter on [topic] with the latest insights and analysis.”
- Boost Sponsorship & Advertising Opportunities: A loyal audience attracts brands. Emphasize engagement:
  - “Love our show? Show love with a review on your favorite podcast app – it helps us grow!”
  - “Share our podcast with friends and spread the word on social media – tag us with [social media handle]!
- Sell Products or Services: Do you offer complementary products/services? Promote them directly.
  - “Visit our online shop at [website name] for amazing [products]”
    - “Book your consulting session at [website name], and let’s take your [area of expertise] to the next level.”
    - Crowdfunding: If applicable, mention your Patreon or similar platform:
      - “Support independent creators like us through our Patreon. Check out the exclusive rewards we offer at [website name].”
Key Tips
- Clarity is vital: Be explicit about what your CTA offers.
- One CTA at first: Choose your primary focus to avoid overwhelming listeners.
- Urgency without being pushy: Phrases like “for a limited time” or “don’t miss out” work well.
- Track your results: Use link shorteners with tracking to analyze what’s working.
- Community Building: Encourage comments, discussion, and listener participation.
- Sneak Peeks: Tease the topic of the next episode to create anticipation.

Recap: A summary of your episode’s main points.
CTA: Options include:

- “Visit our website at [website name] for show notes and further resources.”
