    I Studied the Podcasts That Outperformed All Others & They All Used These 8 Titles

    Join the waitlist to have LF Studio edit your entire episodes (like this one) here - https://www.howdoipodcast.com/longform-studio And get all 11 of the titles here - Your episode could be the best thing you've ever recorded. But if the title doesn't make a stranger click … they'll never find out. When someone new finds your show on YouTube, about 70% of that decision is the thumbnail. The rest is the title. On Apple and Spotify the title does even more of the work … and when a listener shares your episode with a friend, the title is the biggest thing they see. So I studied the best performing podcast episodes not just with the biggest downloads (because if you have a great guest you’re of course going to get more reach). The episodes that outperformed every other one, and the episodes that got HUGE downloads even with an unknown guest. Today I'm breaking down the best 8, with real examples of each, so you can use them on your very next episode, get the rest of them here - You'll learn 🎙️Why your title matters more than your thumbnail when someone shares your episode 🎙️The titles to use when your guest doesn’t have a huge personal brand 🎙️Which title coaches should use every single time 🎙️The one rule every title needs if you actually want people to listen Loved this?
