Today, I’m talking about how to actually determine if your podcast is growing and how you can accelerate your growth. Let’s get started!

The success of your podcast doesn’t depend on the number of downloads you have. Podcasters focus so much on their stats and when the numbers aren’t where they want them to be, it can mean a quick slide into the podcast graveyard. This is really unfortunate because you can have a monetized podcast with only 1 listener.

My guest today, Serena Dodd, has two podcasts and she is here to share her insights from her podcasting journey, why she decided to start a second podcast, and how to keep going even when the numbers aren’t what you wanted.
