I'm not sure if this helps, but I've found releasing shorter episodes (20-30 minutes max) has brought me more listeners. People only have so much time in the day and a two-hour podcast will be very off-putting. A shorter one means a better chance of consumption.

This is true, when I consider listening to a new podcast, is if it's more than an hr, I probably pass. However it also depends on what kind of podcast, if it's deep conversation, an hr is the sweet spot for me.

5:50: "Remember that every single download, every single play of your podcast is an actual human being that's spending time with you" ...perfectly said!

I’m so GRATEFUL that this video hit my feed this morning. My podcast is just starting to ever so slightly uptick. My niche is an audience of people who, like me, have someone else they care for who is severely disabled or medically fragile. Like special needs parents, caregivers of elders etc. I am a Mom to a 24 year old disabled son, his condition turned our lives completely upside down. This is the inside journey on how to adapt. So I named the podcast “The Adapted Life”. I think the biggest challenge I face is trying to stay consistent, which in itself is antithesis to the life of a caregiver of severely disabled medically fragile person. So it is. My intuition led me back to tips and strategies from exactly guides like you Pat. I love doing what I do. I am truly on a journey to rediscovering myself after 20 plus years of extreme adversity. Life is beautiful. Joy is possible, even when your child is born with a deformed brain. ❤️❤️❤️🙏Thanks for this video!!

Even if it stopped for a while, restart today- the message you have to share is very important- just fifteen mins per show would make a big difference in the daily lives of the kinds of people who need your show. I hope you and your son are well.

Step one is crucial! Did that from the beginning and although my listener base is small (300-500 per episode) it creates an engaged community. 🔥As always Pat.

As someone who just recently started a podcast, I think this is a great list to remember so I can keep going. Thanks Pat!

I believe your top reason holds true for lots of businesses! I know of several folks who I believe were on the cusp of HUGE success ... but it just didn't happen fast enough for them and they gave up. As usual, I think you are spot on.

Thank you man I've been on a Hiatus and really down on my Podcast because of its lack of growth in 2 plus years. Thanks to you I think I will give it one more Strong try. It would be the guy that inspired me to start podcasting at all 6 or 7 years ago. So Thank you

Randomly stumbled upon this video. This is great advice that can be applied to other online businesses, not just podcasts.

Thank you so much for this video, I feel more confident now about starting this new podcast

Thanks Pat. Not going to quit! It's quite the challenge to pour everything I have into Content, and not always knowing if people are finding it. Thank you for the encouraging five tips.

@s1dubbzz751

Make sure to take care of marketing your content so people CAN find it. If you don't actively market, the effect of consistency is minimized.

Love this, Pat. Definitely guilty of a couple of these :P But like you said, these things don't have to stop us. Everyone has an audience somewhere!

All great advice, I started my podcast "Technically Maybe" about a month ago and this will help me to keep going. plus it's a lot of fun.

Your videos are so inspiring! You are such a great teacher!! Thank you so very much!!❤️

"If you build it...THEY will come" is a Wayne's World reference that parodies the original. So both are acceptable, I think. lol. Great advice as always, dude. I found those points really useful.

Great tips Pat, thanks. Idea for a future video- how to reinvigorate/grow a podcast that has no growth. Coming up on the 7th anniversary of my podcast, my niche has seen a lot of changes and I’m considering a rebrand to expand the topics discussed to reach more people.

Thank you for this video. It’s really helpful and we recently started our podcast so it’s good to see improvement every day and every new episode. We are building a community and a lot of young audience to listen to as and grow&learn together.

Thank you so much for all your videos, to thank you better I did not skip any ad and I shared with other aspiring podcasters like myself!! Thank you!

I just started my podcast a few weeks ago. its going great but ill be using these tips! Thanks for the help!

Nice advice. The waiting for the show to drop was the best advice I ever got and the book came eventually.

Thanks! Launching a bee Podcast about life at 40 + and narrowing content down has been the biggest piece of it all.

We dont compare ourselves, we try to be different but aimed toward a specific audience within the niche. We market every single day. We have exact goals we know we can reach. We're 203 episodes in over 6 years, never giving up..... however we are STILL struggling.

Thank you for the info and inspo Pat 🙌🏽

We just started our podcast a few months ago. It's all about whiskey/bourbon/scotch/etc reviews, cocktails and rock video! So far it's audio only with Shorts/Reels for video content. We keep the subject matter pretty niche, we don't really compare other than to inspire ourselves, we don't plan on giving up, but the other points in your video hit closer to home. We do a little bit of marketing through fb/ig ads, and we haven't ever talked about what "success" looks like for our podcast. No idea what that looks like, so we have no idea how to reach that mark! Thanks for the vifeo!

Thank you. My overall topic is narrow, but I see I have laid out a big series. So some refinement is needed. Great tips Pat.

Thank you so much!!! for this information so much! I just started a podcast One Mic Trio and we are trying really hard to push it so these videos really help!

A wise man once told me, “If you want to get to know a topic, thoroughly, attempt to teach it. That is podcasting for me. I want to expand my own knowledge, so I research information I want to know personally. IMO, your teachings here are spot on. You reference tenacity, planning, review - all qualities that would help any activity. Thank you and much success.

Excited to get started!!! Thanks for this!
