Why I’m NOT Embarrassed About My Low Download Numbers

I didn’t reach my download numbers goal…and I thought I was embarrassed about it, but I’m actually not.

I didn’t take my own advice about goals around download numbers and it shows.

In this episode I talk about:

• How many download numbers I got last month

  
  



• How much money I made as a podcaster 

  
  



• How close I am to my podcast coaching call goal

  
  

You’ll also hear about the experiments that I tried out last month. Which ones worked and which ones didn’t. Along with the experiments that I’m trying in November.

Topics discussed:

• Podcast marketing strategy

  
  



• Podcast download numbers

  
  



• Tips on starting a podcast

  
  



• Experimentation in podcasting

  
  



• Podcast SEO

  
  



• Advice for starting a podcast

  
  

My favorite takeaways from this episode are: 

• It isn’t a good idea to have a goal around download numbers until you have at least a couple of podcast seasons under your belt

  
  



• Experimenting with your podcast is the fastest way for your podcast to improve

  
  



• Not every experiment is going to work for your show, and that’s okay!
