“I wish my download numbers were higher.” It’s a sentiment we keep hearing over and over from clients at Wild Home Podcasting. And honestly, who doesn’t? But download numbers don’t tell the whole story about whether or not your podcast is successful, and the energy we spend focusing on that one single metric is often better spent elsewhere. 

In today’s episode, I’m laying out why download numbers are a little bit of a vanity metric especially for small and online business podcasters, why focusing on downloads can distract you from the important work you should do to make your podcast more impactful for your business, and how to maximize the return you get from the downloads you have currently. 

What’s in this episode:

[02:24] Why podcasters get so hung up on download numbers… and why that might be distracting you from more important questions around your podcast

[04:02] Why the podcast landscape is different than it used to be, and so is the way we look at and interpret download numbers

[05:47] Why the “if you build it, they will come” mentality doesn’t work anymore

[09:19] How we should be spending more time working on the parts of podcasting we can control first–and worrying about download numbers second

[12:24] Two things I want you to think about when you look at your download numbers

You know you’re going to launch a podcast for your online business. You have a name picked out, you’ve got your first few episodes planned, and maybe you even have cover art mocked up. That’s all the big stuff, right?

All of that is important and necessary for your podcast, but, the thing is, if you actually want your podcast to work effectively for you and your business, there are some other questions you need to answer before your launch. 

In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through a few of those big things you need to consider, from how to determine the goal of your podcast (specifically, not generally), how you’re going to use your podcast in your overall marketing plan, and why you need to find a rhythm for your podcast so you can stay consistent. 

What’s in this episode:

[01:04] Some of the benefits of having a podcast

[03:02] How to figure out your goals for the podcast and how to track if you’re reaching those goals

[05:20] Why you need to figure out how you’re not just going to integrate your podcast into your marketing – but also use it to drive all of your marketing content

[09:12] Why you need to determine how much time you’ll be spending on your podcast and if you should consider outsourcing parts so you can stay consistent

When you’re in the beginning stages of launching a podcast, especially a DIY launch, done is better than perfect, right? You can’t get too hung up on perfection, or else your show will never get launched. And that makes sense when you’re just starting out, but what about when you’re 25, 50, or 100 episodes in? 

If you haven’t updated your podcast since that launch, it’s probably time to run a little audit and make sure that all of your podcast materials are still supporting the current goals of your business. So in today’s episode, I’m walking you through the areas to look at when doing a self-audit for your podcast, why this process can be a growth opportunity for your show and your business, and the service we offer if you feel you need a little extra help with this process.

 What’s in this episode:

[01:54] Why in the podcast launch phase, sometimes “done” is better than “perfect”

[05:17] How to do a self-audit for your podcast and update the things that might not be serving your show anymore

[08:37] How to make sure your podcast is actually showing up on all the right platforms

[09:51] Why you should think about a refresh as a growth opportunity for your podcast

[12:11] The Podcast Refresh package Wild Home Podcasting offers for podcasters who want extra support while updating their podcast

If you’re listening to this show, you probably have your own podcast (or maybe plan to have one in the future.) And if you’re an online business owner, coach, or small business entrepreneur who spends time (probably at least a couple of hours) planning, writing, and then recording podcast episodes, I need you to answer these questions honestly: 

What are you doing with that content after your episode is published? Are you using it to drive the rest of the marketing in your business? Are you using it to point back to your business so you can actually grow your revenue?

If you’re not loving your answer to any of these questions, this episode is for you. I’m talking about how you can use your podcast to make content creation easier and your marketing simpler by using the content you already create each week to drive your business. Let’s dive in!

What’s in this episode:

[01:55] The real goal of a small business podcast: to grow your business

[02:52] My marketing triangle and how to use your podcast to drive the rest of the marketing for your business

[04:41] How to think about the marketing framework around your podcast and ultimately your business

[09:30] How your podcast can get you off the content-creation hamster wheel in your business

As a small business podcaster, your podcast exists to support, promote, and create energy in your actual business, not necessarily to get a million downloads. At the end of the day, downloads don’t really matter if you’re not getting leads or making sales or creating some other type of momentum for your business.

So today, I’m going to share five ways that your podcast can actually support your business that don’t involve download numbers, so you can start thinking bigger when it comes to using your podcast to drive business. Let’s dive in!

What’s in this episode:

[01:07] Reframing how your podcast supports your business

[03:05] How your podcast builds proof of authority

[05:18] Why your podcast gives you social proof

[09:06] How you can use your podcast to attract your ideal client

[14:33] Why podcasting naturally creates networking opportunities

[16:17] Why podcasts are such amazing business funnels
