Think getting more listeners will fix your podcast? Think again. If your show isn't worth listening to, no amount of promotion will save it. Too many indie podcasters focus on marketing and downloads before they focus on creating a great show—and that’s the real reason why their audience isn’t growing.
This episode dives into the biggest mistakes podcasters make when trying to build their audience, including:
- Why chasing numbers too soon leads to burnout
- The hard truth about fake downloads and bot-driven growth hacks
- Why great audio and compelling content matter more than any promotion
- How to get real, honest feedback (and actually use it)
- The three simple steps to improving your podcast before worrying about growth
Before spending time and money on ads, marketing, and social media promotions, ask yourself: Would I actually subscribe to my own show? If the answer isn't a strong YES, this episode will help you fix that. 🎧 Listen now and start making your podcast irresistible!
