Podcast Stuck at 50 Monthly Listeners
I've been recording podcast episodes with my twin for about half a year now and I have been doing my best to spread the word on all social medias/online communities but can't grow in monthly listeners. It's been static around 50, which is crazy cool but I feel the urge to reflect and make a change to not get the same results.
My one concern that I have is that my podcast isn't "niche" enough. Or maybe I am just not able to create a succinct one-liner on what my show is about and that's super important. Just take a look at the pod description and please leave any feedback you have!
Here is a link to our latest episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cool-thinks/id1484215451#episodeGuid=7b7b5da4-bd41-46e0-924c-e91bab31bebd
Sound quality is good. It's a little meandering and loose-chatty for me, but I suspect as someone with kids, too little time and too many podcasts to listen to - i'm probably not your audience?
Do you think the struggle to grow and spread the word is because you are not reaching people outside your own networks on social media? I had a couple of thoughts if this might be the issue:
Thanks so much for this feedback and your time listening and typing this all out! :) For the first two bullets, we are definitely on the search for another pod where we would mutually benefit and create good content. The problem with this is that we don't have much to offer someone else unless they have a small follower count as well. I do believe in our content though (not saying that it's not valuable because of the low count, but it would take extra effort on someone else's end to research my pod to see what I'm about with a low audience).
I love the idea of engaging with my audience so we started a discord to interact with our 50 listeners and so far half of them have joined.
I will look for lists of small pods in my niche. I haven't seen this piece of feedback before and this sounds super valuable!
Thanks!
Hi ,
What's your br
2.I don't really know what your podcast is 3 mins into it
Ann marie Cross says find your message before your mic.
What's your message.
Indiehackers podcaster helps us build profitable internet businesses(the message is clear before the episode starts)
Why are you speaking over each other at 3:32 ?
you guys need to have a synergy.
Consider repurposing your podcast into different formats to reach new audiences
we do that at amplifymypodcast.com
I love the intro music; great and the cover art.
MY 2 cents
Thank you so much for the feedback and your time! In the next podcast we recorded we gave an intro and in future pods, I will save this clip (or a better version) and just edit it into the beginning for all. I really like that idea and it's so obvious. Also, I agree about #3, I spoke with my co-host and we will be better about that. Just signed up for your beta because this would be a great product and am excited to try it out!
