Hi Newsletter Subscribers,

Your audience listens. They nod along. Maybe they even think, “That's a great idea.”
But most of them stop there — they don't do anything with it.
 
That's normal. But it's also a missed opportunity.
 
This week's idea: the Listener Challenge — a fun, low-bar way to get your audience acting on what you share, then talking about it publicly.
Challenges turn listeners into participants. Whether you host a wellness show, a marketing podcast, or a lifestyle series, giving your audience something to do creates stories, shares, and community.

 

 

Why It Works

 
Action → Memory. Doing something small cements the message.
 
Momentum → Visibility. Listeners post about the challenge and tag you.
 
Community → Loyalty. You stop being a voice in their ears and become part of their week.
 

3 Easy Listener Challenges Anyone Can Run

 
Tiny Habit Challenge
 
Invite listeners to apply one tip from your episode for 3 days.
Examples:
“Try my 2-minute grounding exercise every morning.”
“Send one voice note to reconnect with a friend today.”
 
Share-Your-Story Challenge
 
Ask them to post or email a quick story related to your theme.
Examples:
“What was the last time you felt completely confident on camera?”
“Tell me one win you had this week that you almost forgot to celebrate.”
 
Community Challenge
 
Encourage listeners to connect with each other.
Examples:
“Tag a friend who'd love this episode and tell them why.”
“Recommend a podcast that changed your perspective this year.”
 

Two Ready-to-Use Templates

1️⃣ Challenge Announcement (for Hosts or Guests)
 
🎧 This Week's Challenge:
Take one small action from today's episode — and tell me how it goes.
Post about it or DM me on Instagram @[handle].
I'll share a few listener stories next week.
 
2️⃣ Social Challenge Post
 
Want to play along?
Do one thing you learned from my chat on [Podcast Name] and tag us with #TryTheThing.
Simple, fast, and you'll feel amazing after.
 

Action Step

Pick one quick-win idea from your last episode and turn it into a challenge this week. Announce it on social media or your next recording.
