When we start to panic, we make bad decisions. Consequently, when your show isn't growing as fast as you want, you might upgrade your equipment (when you didn't need to), or move to a different media host (thinking it will help you get more downloads. 

In full disclosure, I work for Libsyn.com (who does make it easy to syndicate your show - use the coupon code sopfree to get a free month - as Libsyn is short for Liberated Syndication), but assuming you've submitted your show for approval - a different media host won't boost your downloads. 

The Download Equation

Total Value X Smart Promotion = Total Downloads

If you don't have value in your episode, then no matter how much promotion you do - it won't grow. 

If you have value in your episodes, but don't promote it - it will be slow. 

The bottom line to all of this is to know your audience. 

If you need help with this, I can help.
