How to Find Follower Numbers for Your Podcast

When it comes to podcast numbers, a lot of the times podcasters just look at downloads or listens. And while that's good for an overall view, you can get other useful data like follower numbers on different apps, if you know where to look.

And now, this week's episode.

Speaker:

When it comes to podcast numbers, a lot of the times podcasters just look at downloads or listens.

Speaker:

And while that's good for an overall view, you can get useful data like follower numbers on different apps if you know where to look.

Speaker:

So, for example, if you log on to Apple's Podcasts Connect, Spotify for Podcasters, and Amazon for Podcasters, that will show you your follower numbers on these apps.

Speaker:

These are the listeners that have hit the follow button for your show, so they get each new episode as soon as it's released.

Speaker:

Another great resource is Rephonic.

Speaker:

By creating an account there and claiming your podcast, you can see follower numbers for podcast apps like Podcast Addict, CastBox, TuneIn, and more.

Speaker:

Combine this with the details from Apple, Spotify and Amazon

Speaker:

and you can start to see exactly how your audience has grown on these apps,

Speaker:

which can be useful data to share with sponsors and advertisers.

Speaker:

And I'll leave links to those in the show notes

Speaker:

so be sure to check them out.

Speaker:

Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Speaker:

Thanks for listening.
