October 18, 2023#32 | 5 Common Mistakes That Could Be Hurting Your Podcasting Growth, Marketing & Monetization Efforts (Podcast SEO Part 4)
A logical reason why Apple and Spotify suppress a podcast's reach...
It has nothing to do with being controversial or explicit.
And everything to do with your listening time.
This is also seen as your retention time.
This is the main user engagement metric Apple and Spotify use to determine whether you have a good or bad show.
Good show = high retention time.
Bad show = low retention time.
If listeners don’t listen through till the end of your podcast, it sends a bad signal to Apple and Spotify.
Whose goal is to keep users on their platforms.
The goal for you is to increase your retention time, get recommended to more listeners, and increase the number of listeners coming back to your podcast for more.
And that’s why in this episode, you’ll discover:
What user engagement is and why your podcast won't grow if yours is bad
The 5 mistakes most podcasters make that repel listeners from listening to their entire podcast
Simple tricks you can start implementing today to increase the listening time of your show

So if you're ready to discover the 5 common mistakes that could be hurting your podcast engagement and simple changes you can make today for faster growth, scroll up and click play.

October 04, 2023#26 | How To Increase Your Podcast's Discoverability On Apple & Spotify For Faster Growth & Monetization (Podcast SEO Part 2)
Nearly 3 years ago, I found a guy called Jake Ward who grew his podcast to 300k/monthly downloads in 7 months, without ANY social media promotion or guesting.
Mind = BLOWN.
I’ve been obsessed with the little-known method he used to grow so fast - podcast SEO.
There are 11 million daily podcast listeners in America alone.
Over 50% of them go to Apple and Spotify to discover new podcasts to listen to.
Not Google, your website, Facebook or TikTok.

They go to Apple and Spotify.

They search and browse the platforms with the intention of finding new podcasts to listen to.

How much faster could you grow your show if you put your podcast in front of listeners who are actively searching for the type of content you create?

That’s exactly what podcast SEO does for you.

The problem is most podcasts have no idea what podcast SEO is, how it works, how to become discovered, what keywords are, and how to rank higher to be more easily found by listeners.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
How your titles could make or break the discoverability of your show
Why keywords and search terms are so important if you want to be found on streaming platforms
How to find the right keywords so your podcast can rank higher on Apple & Spotify

So, if you're ready to increase your exposure on Apple and Spotify, if you want to understand how to rank for the right keyword to fast-track your podcast growth, scroll up and click play.
