One 2-minute (often unconventional) podcast marketing idea every weekday to help serious podcasters punch above their weight and create a ridiculously profitable show as a small but mighty solopreneur, creator, or marketing team.
✊ I tried to reach 1k dl/ep in 10 weeks. Here's how close I got
363 WORDS | READ TIME: 1.4 MIN Hi friends, As a couple of seasoned (perhaps even grizzled) podcast marketers, expectations were high going into Season One of our show, Podcast Marketing Trends Explained. Personally, I had a secret goal of hitting 1,000 dl/ep by the end of season one. It was an ambitious goal. Especially for a brand-new show and a 10-week window to get the word out... But given my co-host Justin and my existing podcast-centered audiences, I thought it juuuuuust might be possible. So with this week marking the end of Season One, the big question is: How close did we come to hitting the 1k dl/ep mark? On the one hand, we made a handful of mistakes and let a bunch of opportunities slip by when it came to the marketing and promotion of the show. But we also had some happy accidents and experiments—both planned and organic—that paid off. In fact, one of those experiments alone nearly doubled our listener count for the season 👀👀 On this week's episode, we're publicly auditing our Season One performance and breaking down:
👉 Listen in your favourite app or watch on YouTube Let the Roasting Continue While this season of Podcast Marketing Trends Explained may be wrapping up, Justin and I will be continuing to (lovingly) roast listener shows on YouTube. If you're feeling brave and you want to submit your show, leave us a rating and review in Apple Podcasts that includes the name of your show. When it comes to the roasts, we're just getting started, and have some new ingredients to add to the mix going forward. So make sure to get your show in for the chance to get salted, seasoned, and roasted 😈🔥🍗
