#138 - Is Podcasting Really Too Saturated For You To Succeed?

from Podcast Growth University · host Kevin Palmieri

Is podcasting too crowded for me to succeed? I’ve heard it repeatedly—too many podcasts, insufficient listeners, and no real chance to stand out. But is that true? In today’s episode, I break down eye-opening industry stats that prove otherwise. I’ll share how many podcasters quit early, why consistency beats competition, and what separates the top 5% from the rest. If you’ve ever felt discouraged or wondered if podcasting is worth it, this episode will challenge your perspective and show you why now might be the best time to start—or keep going.Podcast Growth Nation - https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FyLeJB5H5/A free 30-minute call with Kevin: https://bit.ly/3E0ieM0If you want to learn more about podcasts, reach out to Kevin:IG: https://www.instagram.com/neverquitkid/Email: [email protected] help with your podcast?
