Do you have a podcast but feel stuck?
Are you lacking the motivation to continue?
Creating and launching a podcast is big accomplishment that deserves a big kudos! But if you’ve been podcasting for more than a few months, you may feel burned out and are struggling with how to move forward.
Do any of these struggles sound familiar to you?
I feel so bogged down by my recording schedule. It takes up so much time that I'm starting to resent it."
"I am almost out of ideas for what to talk about on the show. It feels like I've covered everything already."
"Am I ever going to make money from this show? For how much time I spend on it, I have to see some return to make it worthwhile."
"Getting new listeners is really hard. My downloads have been at a plateau for a long time. I don't know how to grow."
I’ve been there! I’ve created four different podcasts in the past ten years, and I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, in a rut, and ready to throw in the towel!
You need more than passion. You need a plan.
Why do podcasters burn out? Honestly, it’s because they didn’t have a plan in place to support the ongoing needs of their podcast.
Without a smart plan, podcasters risk wasting a lot of time, energy, and even dollars to keep their shows going. And many never enjoy a return on those investments.
That’s no fun, which is why it’s no surprise that many podcasters take breaks from making their shows or worse—kill them completely.
I know you don't want that to be you. I believe in you and your passion for podcasting! However, passion isn’t enough to sustain and grow your podcast. And it certainly isn’t enough to make money from your podcast.
You need a proven plan to help you structure and streamline your podcast production, elevate the quality of your show, and incorporate ways to make money that are consistent with your brand and values.
That’s why I created Amp’d Up Podcasting—to help committed podcasters like you avoid burnout, discover smarter ways to work, and incorporate authentic monetization strategies to transform your promising podcast into an sustainable and profitable one!
Amp'd Up Podcasting can help you ramp up to greater rewards.
Imagine this: You’re in your home office. You’ve just recorded a batch of podcast episodes with some amazing guests. You have your podcasting calendar planned for the next six months, and you have a team that is helping you nail down the guest interviews.
You upload your podcast recordings into Dropbox, and then let your team know they are ready for production.
Done. You feel great!

Meet your course instructor
Hello, my name is Pat Flynn. I've hosted a lot of podcasts. Here's how I can help you reach your potential as a podcaster.
I’d love to teach you my most successful podcasting strategies, techniques, and other secrets.
I’ve been podcasting since 2010, beginning with the Smart Passive Income Podcast, my flagship show that’s consistently ranked in iTunes as a top business podcast. I’ve also created four other podcasts, including the AskPat Podcast, All of Your Beeswax (which I create with my son), and the legacy shows: FoodTruckr Podcast and 1-Day Business Breakthrough (with my friend Chris Ducker).
I’ve published over 1,300 episodes across all of my podcasts, with more than 50 million downloads, and interviewed some amazing guests, including YouTuber Marques Brownlee (A.K.A. MKBHD), James Clear, Amy Porterfield, Chris Ducker, and Nicole Walters. In the past eight years, I’ve earned over $300k in sponsorship income from my podcasts.
I’m convinced: podcasting is one of the most valuable tools for growing a business. My podcast has helped me connect with and educate my listeners, launch products, and make the most of live, in-person events. More people find my business and stay connected to it because of my podcasts.
Throughout the course of creating, launching, and marketing these podcasts, I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t, how to grow a show, and which successes can and can’t be replicated. I’ve helped thousands of podcasters get up and running with the own podcasts through my free Podcasting Tutorial and my course Power-Up Podcasting®.
But I’ve heard from many of my students that they need to “amp up” their podcasts, but they don’t know how to go about doing that. They are wondering how to keep their podcast running without getting burned out. How can they develop a system that runs smoothly, hire a team they can trust, get more listeners, and make more money from their podcast?
If you’re wondering the same things, then my Amp’d Up Podcasting course is for you. I will give you everything you need to make your existing podcast the best it can be, and help you come up with a system so you can keep it going for the long haul.
