  • Wow, this is exceptional

    I listened to several episodes before posting this review to make sure- but the Niche Pursuits podcast is exceptional.

    Business podcasts, especially those made for bloggers, can get away with rambling hosts, annoying tangents, and poor production quality. But Niche Pursuits clearly puts in the work to prep their guests, bloggers’ biggest pain points/questions, stay on track, and edit well.

    I learned a whole lot about how to improve my blog and business through this podcast.

  • Great content and reminders!

    I seldom comment, but I have to say that this was one of the better podcasts as far as the content and just the reminders of how to approach your “business” overall. I hope that your guest is able to come back again soon and share even more tips.

    Also, thanks to you for such great questions!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Ben Borton Grew PodPlay to 290 Locations and 1.8 Million End Customers
Q: How did you scale from founder-led to a larger sales team without losing your voice?
A deliberate handoff to a seasoned sales leader who understands the industry, along with maintaining strong, founder-like credibility through public content and ongoing product-led value, allowed growth without losing the founder-led essence.
How Ben Borton Grew PodPlay to 290 Locations and 1.8 Million End Customers
Q: Why do you have such a high 40% demo rate, and what happens after the demo?
Prospects come with a lot of knowledge from prior content, so the demos convert at a high rate because they're already informed and have done extensive research; the content provides a clear rabbit hole for buyers to explore before contacting sales.
How Ben Borton Grew PodPlay to 290 Locations and 1.8 Million End Customers
Q: Can you describe the Go Viral feature and its impact?
Go Viral enabled players to approve and share clips across social platforms with hooks, dramatically increasing the volume of user-generated content and creating a robust funnel to larger media channels while maintaining quality and relevance.
How Ben Borton Grew PodPlay to 290 Locations and 1.8 Million End Customers
Q: What role did content play in your go-to-market strategy?
Content served both as a marketing tool and as a product feedback mechanism. It attracted inbound interest, supplied social proof, and fed a flywheel of demos and revisions, with the PodPlay Guide acting as a foundational evergreen asset.
How Ben Borton Grew PodPlay to 290 Locations and 1.8 Million End Customers
Q: Why was the founder-led approach so important in the early days?
It established trust quickly in a market with few proven references. The founder could articulate vision, provide authentic operator-to-operator credibility, and solicit direct customer feedback to shape the product, which a junior salesperson could not achieve at that stage.
