Why do some podcasts succeed when so many fail?


Listen Later

Some podcasts blow up while others never get off the ground. So what’s the difference?

In this episode, I’m answering a listener question about what makes a podcast successful. Is it promotion? A unique idea? Celebrity status? Or is it just about sticking at it?

Spoiler alert: It’s not about going viral. But there are consistent things successful podcasters do and they’re things you can do too.

💡What you’ll learn:

  • What big shows have in common (that you might not see)
  • The eight things successful podcasters focus on
  • Why consistency and realistic expectations matter
  • How to define success for your show (not someone else’s)
