Why Consistency Isn't the Key to Podcast Growth

Spoiler alert… the real key to growing a podcast isn’t consistency. Think about it: if consistency were the key to long-term podcasting growth, then everyone who’s been releasing an episode every week for the past year or more would have a Top 100 podcast — and that’s not the case.

So if you’re sick of hearing “consistency is key to podcasting success,” you're onto something… because the truth is, consistency is only one part of the full equation for podcast growth.

In this episode I’m breaking down why just sticking to a schedule isn't enough, and giving you the other piece of the equation for driving more engaged listeners to your podcast.

So if you’re tired of releasing episode after episode without seeing significant growth to your podcast over the last three months, hit play and let’s make your business bingeworthy.
