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.
I consistently put out 90 minutes plus and our listenership on Spotify and Apple has exploded in the last two months.
@@BadMoviesRule Yea, I aimed for 60min but I recently found I do 80-90min more naturally and comfortably.
As a listener I need long! lol a two hour show goes by fast when you’re running errands, working, etc
@@BadMoviesRule What have you done to advertise?
5. Be specific with your focus (Don’t be too broad)
4. Don’t compare yourself (it’s you verses you yesterday)
3. You don’t market your podcast (build your audience. Clear niche & message. Build relationships. Be a guest on other podcasts.
2. Define what a successful podcast means to you. (What are your goals for your podcast? Show up consistently)
1. They give up too fast. (Be patient. Market yourself & be consistent)
Thanks for this ⚜️
Thank you, saved me 10 minutes! ❤️❤️
Thanks saved me wasting 8 mins of my life.
0. Listen to what experts actually have to say rather than believing you can learn everything you need to know by reading bullet points
Pat, great info, but your audio tone quality is too “tinny” please take this constructively -thanks
Thank you, this saved me watching the video.
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!
Love the episode, Pat! Your insight inspired me to go to real-time speed rather than the 2x. Yes, I admit, I am a fast listener, however, when something pulls me into the podcast, then I go, "Wait. What did they say?" and I rewind. Your sessions are rewind-worthy, Pat!
Hello Pat! I’ve recently started working on my toy collecting podcast and watching your video makes so much sense and was very informative. Thanks for the encouraging words!
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!!
How is The Adapted Life" doing now?
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.
Thank you for this, I've been podcasting now for over a year I love doing it but I haven't seen the growth I expected. Now it all makes sense, this video is what I needed at this moment 👏🏽
May I ask what did you not know before watching this video?
Yes I agree with you, this topic is very helpful for starters like us. Wish you all the best. Keep creating
As someone who just recently started a podcast, I think this is a great list to remember so I can keep going. Thanks Pat!
Wow! I just came across your RUclips and I’m so inspired. Podcasts have been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Thank you Pat!
im so grateful to have seen this video, it seems to have found me at the perfect time. im getting ready to start up my podcast and I've been dealing with waves of fear and doubt, but after watching this I can see how much progress I have truly made. all we need is a little trust and patience. to whoever is reading this, dont give up!!
Every download/play of your podcast is an actual human being spending time with you - that’s so true.
it is true. It is why the social media is true.
Thanks Pat. Just started my new podcast yesterday! You’re videos have been a huge help. Thanks for all you do!
Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video, I feel more confident now about starting this new podcast
Your videos are so inspiring! You are such a great teacher!! Thank you so very much!!❤️
Nice advice. The waiting for the show to drop was the best advice I ever got and the book came eventually.
Randomly stumbled upon this video. This is great advice that can be applied to other online businesses, not just podcasts.
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
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!
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.
Community is crucial. We have far from made it, but we get crazy sub to view ration.
@@C3PanthersPod RUclips is not an easy platform to gain exposure from, so kudos to you guys. That’s amazing.
500 isn't small. That is a huge accomplishment! Just imagine being in a room with 300 - 500 people listening to you in real life, it certainly wouldn't feel small then!
@@MicahBuzanMUSIC Love that perspective, thank you!
300 to 500 is small? That's like a small concert.
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.
I just started my podcast a few weeks ago. its going great but ill be using these tips! Thanks for the help!
Thank you for the info and inspo Pat 🙌🏽
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.
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.
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.
Excited to get started!!!
Thanks for this!
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!
Excellent advice, Pat. Thanks for sharing.
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 Pat for this valuable information can't wait to put it to good use & apply it to my work appreciate the motivation & encouragement also like your Angles!
This was a great list and I really needed to hear all this. Thank you!
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!
Really great advice, and about to start a podcast of my own. Really appreciate this.
Thank you for these tips, very practical and straight forward. I will follow all your tips.
Outstanding words of encouragement, thank you!!
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.
Great video Pat. Insightful and to the point. Thanks!
Pat you are amazing!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for the advice! I’m starting a podcast tomorrow
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.
Thanks for the advice! We are a new podcast only 34 episodes in and this was what we needed 🙌🏽
Thanks for the pep talk, appreciate the tips!
This was helpful. I’m getting ready to start a podcast and trying to learn all I can.
Thanks for the tips Pat I'm in the process of starting my show and this was alot of good advice!!!
What's the biggest hurdle right now, in your eyes? I just kicked mine off and started it this month, 4 episodes in.
Thank You for this video, Sir. I needed this more than you know.
Thanks so much for the information and keeping it real.
thank you!!! this is awesome Knowing your WHY works well with all aspects of life. Thank you
Been watching and learning a lot from you. Thank you very much.
P.S. - Your Star Wars stuff ROCK!!!
Very inspiring. Thank you for your words. I shall now begin to create my podcast about books.
Thanks! Launching a bee Podcast about life at 40 + and narrowing content down has been the biggest piece of it all.
Hey Pat, thank you so much for this info! Great feedback:)❤ You’ve got me very excited 🙌🙌
Loved all the points you shared, thanks Pat!
He does well on video
I didn't know you had another channel Patt !!! Just subscribed!!!
This was excellent! Seriously very helpful and I will continue to refine my channel and podcast
Thanks for this Pat!!! This is so incredibly helpful.
it is very useful.
Great advice! Well done. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this. Subscribed!
Thank you for the great tips!
This gave me something to think about and work on ;) Thank You for this video!
Very helpful as always Paddy! Cheers from IRELAND 🇮🇪
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!
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.
I honestly found this so helpful! I really appreciate your messages, vibe and voice! 😍
Thank you Shannon, means a lot!
What's the name of your podcast, and what are some big hurdles?
Thank you for this great content 🙏🏼
Superb advice...love the healthy comparison game advice about personal progress. But mostly i love what you said about each download or listen being an actual person who chose to spend time with you. Sometime I will look at the analytic map and say wow..."i cant believe somebody in Africa or Europe is listening to us. Great video..Thank you very much.
I just don't have time for podcasts unfortunately but watching snippets from the discussion. It's a great way to build a fan base.
it is totally true.
"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.
Thank you for sharing. I am working on building my community and podcast. I have been working on my niche area to help many people learn from those inspiring people using integrative health to have better and overcome wellness challenges with integrative health techniques. I always enjoy listening to your insightful information
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.
New subscriber! I have my own podcast and I’m grateful for your advice and tips.
Good advice. This was in my recommended feed. I’ve been cohosting a podcast called a hero story for almost 5 years now. We haven’t made any money on it at all but still enjoy doing it every week. I don’t think we will ever make any money from it but we have built a small community with a couple hundred weekly listeners which is really great to think about
Fell asleep listening to probably my 50th pitch your podcast last night so I didn't get to vote. But I also didn't get to listen to them all, there were so many! Can't wait for the announcement of the winners tomorrow.
Thank you for the tips!
Great content. Much thank you.
Thank you so much... wow... really important to know these reasons
This was really inspiring, thank you!
I really appreciate your content. I have an idea for a video cast as a new hobby of mine and your info is truly helpful.
Thanks for this video!
Thank you! I love this super helpful!! ✨🙌🏽
Cheers, Pat - very helpful.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much, I will start.
Thank you so much for this video!
Damn thank you for this video, really needed to hear those tips and remind myself why I began this in the first place
Only recently found you and your videos are excellently constructed and really helpful. About to venture into this field. Thank you.
(The misquoted Field of Dreams quote continues to annoy me as well )
This great advice applies to many other areas and not just podcasts. I'm currently at the wandering in the dark phase - there's a light somewhere and sure as anything, I won't find it if I'm not looking.
I just started a podcast and I am thankful for any tips ❤
These are great TIPS - I’m about to launch a podcast that I’ve worked on w 4 of my favourite human beings (4 men and ME) and I think we need to niche it down further as we all come from such dynamic different perspectives and experience
thank you for this video. just getting into my seat and producing content I am passionate about.
Nice video Pat! As a podcast consultant and mastermind leader, going too broad is so common. I've fallen into this trap as well. It's my greatest struggle pulling people through the fog into clarity on their niche.
Thank you for this Pat and thank you for coming on my show back in 2020! I am really excited to take GHPod to the next level this year and some of your points today really spoke to me! Will be implementing these going forward! Thank you for always being such a valuable resource!
Love your pod man
Thank you Dave! I remember that, it was so much fun, and I hope we can connect again soon my friend! I appreciate you! We need to talk about Mario Kart!
@@JamieRobertson61 Thank you!!
@@patflynn I have a lot of things that have been cooking! Let's talk!
Great content. Sharp video and audio. What hardware (camera, mic, lighting etc) and software do you use to get this amazing end product? Total beginner here so I know there’s a lot of learning to be done in achieving this quality.
Only recently found you and your videos are excellently constructed and really helpful. About to venture into this field. Thank you.
