About Niki Hutchison and the Audience Growth Podcast
Welcome to the Audience Growth Podcast. I'm Niki Hutchison, a Business and Marketing Expert and passionate supporter of Female Founders. I work with clients large and small to help them understand how to use marketing to grow their audience because a bigger audience means bigger sales. Learning how to market your business really is the difference between success and failure.
On the Audience Growth Podcast I'll be teaching you how to grow your audience, a community of people interested in what you do and I'll be sharing how to turn them from browsers into buyers, from followers into customers. I'll also be inviting very special guests how to join me so you can learn from their experiences growing brands, businesses and audiences too.
I've grown both of my businesses using predominantly organic marketing, that's marketing that costs nothing or very little. I believe getting your organic marketing right first is vital before spending any money on ads. It's the perfect way to grow an engaged audience around your business. As a listener of the Audience Growth podcast you're going to learn how to do it.
