Show Notes

Some podcasts blow up while others never get off the ground. So what’s the difference?

In this episode, I’m answering a listener question about what makes a podcast successful. Is it promotion? A unique idea? Celebrity status? Or is it just about sticking at it?

Spoiler alert: It’s not about going viral. But there are consistent things successful podcasters do and they’re things you can do too.

💡What you’ll learn:

  • What big shows have in common (that you might not see)
  • The eight things successful podcasters focus on
  • Why consistency and realistic expectations matter
  • How to define success for your show (not someone else’s)
