We'll discuss not just experiencing moments but capturing them, ponder the durability of PC v.s. laptop usage, and give you the inside scoop from the Content Entrepreneur Expo with actionable tips on audience retention shared by our very own Dave at the expo.

How long does it take to grow your podcast audience?


This show is brought to you by the School of Podcasting

Today we talk about realistic growth of a podcast audience. I've always said the formula is 

Value in Episode X Smart Promotion = Downloads

A recent episode of the Grow Your Show podcast mentioned we might want to mention audience size (social, email list, etc). 

Spending money on ads is a strategy, but it relies on many different aspects to have success so you may not strike gold on your first try
