When Is a Good Time of the Year to Launch a Podcast?

from The Podcasting for Business Q and A Show · host Megan Dougherty

Believe it or not, timing really does matter when you launch a podcast. Some times of year people are actively looking for something new. Other times… they’re just not paying attention. What usually works best: Early in the year when motivation is high Spring or early summer when schedules open up September when everyone’s back in “let’s do this” mode Launching when your audience actually has space to care gives your show a much better shot at being noticed. That said, the best launch is still the one you can actually follow through on. When did you launch and how did it go? Or if you’re thinking of launching - when?
