Why Consistency Isn't the Key to Podcast Growth 18:25

9d ago18:25

18:25

Spoiler alert… the real key to growing a podcast isn’t consistency. Think about it: if consistency were the key to long-term podcasting growth, then everyone who’s been releasing an episode every week for the past year or more would have a Top 100 podcast — and that’s not the case. So if you’re sick of hearing “consistency is key to podcasting succ…

The biggest reason most hosts give up after Episode 6? They aren’t seeing an ROI on the time and effort they’re putting into their podcast.
