41. Podcast Not Growing? Let's Fix That

Published on: 28th January, 2025

Have you been podcasting and feeling like you’re not getting any traction? Maybe it feels like you're stuck, frustrated, or wondering why your show isn't growing the way you hoped. Trust me—you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m diving into why podcast growth often feels slow and overwhelming, and I’m giving you the game plan to turn things around.

Here’s What We Cover in This Episode:

  • Why Podcasting Takes Time- Building a podcast is a long game. It’s normal to feel impatient or discouraged, but success isn’t instant—it takes time, consistency, and effort.
  • The Importance of Honing Your Craft- You’re not going to be perfect right out of the gate. Podcasting is a skill, and like any skill, it takes intentional practice and learning to improve.
  • Setting Clear Goals for Your Podcast- Are you podcasting to grow your business, build a community, or something else? Knowing your goals will shape your strategy and how you measure success.
  • Getting Honest About Your Efforts- Are you doing everything you can to promote your show? From SEO optimization to leveraging collaborations and repurposing content, there’s always more you can try.
  • Staying Consistent- One episode here and there isn’t going to cut it. Consistency is key to building trust and keeping your audience engaged.

Your Action Plan Moving Forward

Adjust Your Expectations: Accept that podcast growth takes time. Be patient and enjoy the process.

Plug Into a Learning Community: Whether it’s my podcasting community or another resource, prioritize learning how to improve your content, marketing, and strategy.

Implement What You Know: Start doing the things you already know to grow your show—consistently. This includes promoting your episodes, tracking your results, and trying new strategies.

Engage With Your Audience: Show up for your listeners. Be active in your community, and promote your show like you’re your biggest fan.
