Podcaster Blues: When Your Show Just Won't Take Off
Episode description
So, your podcast isn’t growing, huh? Yeah, it’s like throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks, but all you get is a messy wall.
When I was married I bought my wife flowers once a week. You won't believe what she said to me!
Spoiler alert: if you’re not giving them what they want, they’re gonna ghost you faster than a bad date. So, grab your headphones, and let’s get to the bottom of this podcasting conundrum together!
Takeaways:- Sometimes, taking a break from your podcast can slow your momentum, so be careful.
- If you're putting in a ton of effort but still seeing low numbers, maybe it's time for a change.
- Understanding your audience's wants is key; otherwise, you're just talking to a wall.
- Your podcast can be fun even when the numbers aren't great; focus on that joy instead!
- Don't get too attached to your ideas; switch things up a bit if they're not resonating.
- Feedback is crucial; if you're not getting it, you might miss the point altogether. No feedback IS feedback.
