Speaker:

podcaster in just a minute a week. If you want more specific tips just for you and your podcast,

Speaker:

And now, this week's episode.

Speaker:

When it comes to growing your podcast, there's a lot of different advice and ways to do this.

Speaker:

Some people might say publish more content. The more content you publish, the more listeners you

Speaker:

get. Not necessarily. Some might tell you to ask for reviews. The more reviews you get, the more

Speaker:

popular the podcast, which will attract more listeners. Again, not necessarily. But to be

Speaker:

honest, while a lot of the advice out there does make sense, there's only one real way that you'll

Speaker:

grow your podcast, and that's to work as hard as you can. It means working hard on your content to

Speaker:

sound as good as it can for your listeners. It means understanding who your target audience is

Speaker:

and making the kind of content that will resonate with them.

Speaker:

It means working hard to understand your analytics

Speaker:

and what's working and what's not working

Speaker:

and tweak where necessary.

Speaker:

And it's working hard to tell people about your podcast.

Speaker:

There's no magic potion when it comes to growing your show

Speaker:

and attracting listeners.

Speaker:

But if you're willing to work hard

Speaker:

at putting out the best content you can

Speaker:

and finding the listeners for that,

Speaker:

I guarantee you your show will grow.

Speaker:

Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Speaker:

Thanks for listening.
