And now, this week's episode.

Speaker: 00:00:16

One of the questions I see a lot of online

Speaker: 00:00:22

for new podcasters especially,

Speaker: 00:00:24

is how many episodes to launch a new show with.

Speaker: 00:00:27

And the answers I see can be varied

Speaker: 00:00:28

from just the one episode of your trailer to 10 episodes so people can binge on it.

Speaker: 00:00:32

And to be honest the answer is maybe somewhere in between.

Speaker: 00:00:35

A good idea is to launch a trailer before the main podcast launch.

Speaker: 00:00:38

That way you can make sure your show is approved on various podcast apps

Speaker: 00:00:42

and you can use it as a teaser and promo slot for the upcoming show.

Speaker: 00:00:45

After that, generally about 2-3 episodes is really good.

Speaker: 00:00:48

That way you're giving new listeners a taste of your show

Speaker: 00:00:51

but you're not overwhelming them with too many episodes that they'll lose interest

Speaker: 00:00:54

or make them think I don't have time for this at the moment.

Speaker: 00:00:56

Remember, podcast listeners time is finite, so yes, get them interested but don't overwhelm them.

Speaker: 00:01:02

Until the next time, happy podcasting.
