If you're looking to grow your podcast's impact, increase the number of people listening to the show, or just doubling the amount of plays per listener, these 5 practical strategies to increase podcast download numbers are just what you need to grow your show.

This episode is part of our 5-part Summer Spark Series where we’re diving into practical ways to grow your podcast, and expand on how to create a successful podcast.

Increase your podcast download numbers strategically

1. Organize Your Episodes: Staying organized is key to running a successful podcast. Create a running list of all your podcast episodes in one easily accessible location. Stick to one platform for hosting and distribution, and devise a strategy that aligns with your habits, ensuring links are readily available on multiple devices. This organization will save you precious time and make it easier for your audience to find and engage with your content.
2. Promote Previous Episodes frequently: Craft an engaging experience that guides your listeners through your content. Promote previous episodes whenever possible, and consider creating themed episode playlists or quizzes tailored to your audience's needs. This approach not only increases downloads but also enhances your audience's overall podcast experience.
3. Replays Matter: Don't underestimate the power of replays! Continuously promote your episodes to new audiences, as the listeners you have today may not be the same ones you'll have three months from now.
4. FAQs episodes are a business hack: Utilize your episodes as responses to frequently asked questions, saving you time and providing better ways to interact with your audience.
5. Just increase the release frequency: In the world of podcasting, more episodes mean more downloads. By consistently releasing new content, you not only give your audience more to listen to but also increase the opportunities for them to binge through your episodes.
6. Remember, don't gatekeep your content—offer valuable insights freely to attract and retain listeners.
