Why am I not getting the number of downloads & plays that I want?

The simple answer is, it that it takes time.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Are you setting realistic expectations?
  • What audience have you developed?
  • Before starting the podcast did you have email lists or a website building an audience?

Many people believe consistency is the key. Give yourself around 100 episodes. If you do one episode a week that may take two years. You will start developing what you like and what you want. Then see if there is an audience for that.

Three Quick Tips:

  1. Make a Goal. Example: I am going to release one podcast a week for six months.
  2. Have a Vision. What is your podcast about or for? Then stick with that vision.
  3. Have fun! Podcasting can be fun. It is a crowded area. If you are enjoying what you are doing your audience will know it too.

Bonus Tip: Find a mentor. Someone you can vent to or throw ideas off of. Hopefully someone who has had some success in the field you are trying to grow in.
