Episode Takeaways

Set realistic goals and just keep going. Be consistent. Growing a loyal podcast audience that keeps you at the top of the charts takes time.

Batch record your episodes. It is more efficient and ensures you have a bank of recordings to fall back on.

Don´t underestimate the work involved. Editing, marketing, socials and dealing with sponsors is time consuming.

Hiring help ensures everything always gets done to a high standard and makes it much easier to be consistent.

Regularly review how your podcast is performing and don´t be afraid to make changes and try new things to keep things fresh and attract a bigger audience.
