Unless you're starting your podcast with an audience you've built through social media, an email list, blog, and/or another medium, your episodes will likely fall on deaf ears as you get things started. You need to build an audience. And while that's what your podcast is designed to do, it can get discouraging to see low download numbers when you've poured so much time and effort into getting your podcast launched.

Fear not, fellow podcaster! Podcasting, as well as starting fresh on any content medium, has its obstacles to overcome. If you take the necessary steps to build your audience, those numbers will eventually take off. And once they do, the sky's the limit.

In Episode 9 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share three things to keep in mind that will help keep your confidence up while numbers are lean and you work to build your audience.
