About this episode
Why isn’t my podcast growing?
Tempted to just give it up and shut down the whole thing?
This is a very common thought and a vast number of podcast shows never make it passed the first 7 episodes!
Firstly, I want to change the thinking that if you’re not having thousands of downloads, it’s not worth doing. You don’t need a big audience to have a successful podcast!
In this episode, I’m going to share why your podcast isn’t growing and what you can do about it. I’ll explore how your guest choice, collaboration and episode frequency all have a big impact on your listenership and are points to consider.
Perhaps your content is getting repetitive. Your audience will most likely jump ship if they’re hearing the same thing every week. So keep your content engaging, exciting and fun!
Examine how you speak to see if you’re monotone and super boring to listen to.
Or maybe your audio quality is just not up to scratch. People don’t want to listen to episodes that have poor production quality and will move over to a show that is more pleasing to the ears.
The MAIN reason why your podcast is not growing is you’re not giving any strategy long enough to work. Downloads don’t all come in within the first few days, they continue throughout the month and even longer so you need to give your strategy time to filter through to your audience.
