Overnight success and other podcasting myths
Manage episode 361877388 series 3234560
Episode #010
We experiment with recording our podcast from a local coffee shop and discover that people like to ask questions when you put microphones on the table.
We dig into the data within Dan Misener’s article that supports why the podcasting long game strategy is STILL TRUE!
We explore what behaviors are causing so many podflashes, podfades, and podwrecks.
What did we learn?
There is no such thing as an overnight podcasting hit.
Shows that have big audiences tend to do “these things” and how “these things” are all about common sense.
Podcasters that do not stick with podcasting for at least 2-years do not have hit shows.
Producing at least 100 episodes is the milestone to becoming a podcaster - you haven’t even begun podcasting until you hit episode 100 (for one podcast or multiple).
All the things that are hard in podcasting are still hard, but if you overcome them you have a good chance of gaining an audience.
