Why do some podcasts succeed when so many fail?

from PodSchool

Some podcasts blow up while others never get off the ground. So what’s the difference? In this episode, I’m answering a listener question about what makes a podcast successful. Is it promotion? A unique idea? Celebrity status? Or is it just about sticking at it? Spoiler alert: It’s not about going viral. But there are consistent things successful podcasters do and they’re things you can do too. 💡What you’ll learn: What big shows have in common (that you might not see) The eight things successful podcasters focus on Why consistency and realistic expectations matter How to define success for your show (not someone else’s) EPISODE CREDITS: Host: Rachel Corbett Editing Assistance: Josh Newth LINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF: Download my free podcasting guide Check out my online podcasting course, PodSchool Click here to submit a question to the show Email me: [email protected] Follow me: Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok or check out my blog or the PodSchool website.
