    The Hard Truth About Growing A Podcast Today (& How You Can Beat the Odds)

    Look closely at the data behind almost anything—from podcast growth, to Google search results, to Amazon product sales, and more—and you'll notice a trend. In almost every case, the bulk of the rewards (downloads, clicks, sales) go to just a tiny percentage of the available options. This pattern shows up everywhere, and it's known as the Power Law. In this episode, we're breaking down the math behind the power curve as it relates to podcasting, whether you should actually be aiming to be at the peak of the curve, and how to set realistic and achievable goals related to your show. 📊 What did you think of this episode?

    Two Hard to Spot (But Very Real) Problems Suffocating Your Podcast's Growth

    Imagine if you could interview 500 podcasters, separate out the ones that doubled their audience over the previous year, and ask them point blank what they did to get that result. Well, that's exactly what we did, and in this episode, we're sharing what we found. Specifically, we looked into the Podcast Marketing Survey submissions of the 15 highest-growth shows, shows that had grown anywhere from 100%–400% over the previous year, and dug into their response to the question: "What's the thing that has had the single biggest impact on growth in the past year." They're answers, and the trend they hint at, might surprise you. 📊 What did you think of this episode?

    Does Social Media Actually Grow Your Podcast Audience? (& If Not, What Are Your Other Options?)

    What everyone gets wrong about using social media to grow your podcast, and what you should be doing instead. There might be no more common question in podcasting than: “How do I get more listeners”. And there might be no more common answer than, “Be active on social media.” The result is that social media is by far the most popular marketing channel used by podcasters to (at least try to) get more listeners and grow their shows. But does it actually work? And if it does, how, exactly? In this episode, we explore the potential benefits of social media for podcasters, how to use it effectively to grow your show and your brand, and why social media might actually be a more effective growth channel than it appears on the surface. 📊 What did you think of this episode?

    80/20 Podcast Marketing: Turn Your Limited Time Into Maximum Growth
