Listen "Why I’m NOT Embarrassed About My Low Download Numbers"
Episode Synopsis
I didn’t reach my download numbers goal…and I thought I was embarrassed about it, but I’m actually not.
I didn’t take my own advice about goals around download numbers and it shows.
In this episode I talk about:
How many download numbers I got last month
How much money I made as a podcaster
How close I am to my podcast coaching call goal
You’ll also hear about the experiments that I tried out last month. Which ones worked and which ones didn’t. Along with the experiments that I’m trying in November.
Topics discussed:
Podcast marketing strategy
Podcast download numbers
Tips on starting a podcast
Experimentation in podcasting
Podcast SEO
Advice for starting a podcast
My favorite takeaways from this episode are:
It isn’t a good idea to have a goal around download numbers until you have at least a couple of podcast seasons under your belt
Experimenting with your podcast is the fastest way for your podcast to improve
Not every experiment is going to work for your show, and that’s okay!
