About this episode
As you will hear in this episode, podcasting can change your life.
Each year, I love the opportunity to reflect and learn from what went WELL, what didn't go so well, and what NEW things I want to experiment with and try in the coming year. In this episode, I share industry reports with data and stats, plus 7 takeaways full of insights and wisdom to provide you with info you can use for your podcasting year ahead.
We get into:
- Niching vs. not niching
- The power of experimentation in your podcast and overall marketing
- Why it's important to go beyond the downloads and metrics
- Repurposing in a new way will set you apart
- Collaborations are the game-changer
- Micro insights around audio, video, ads, and more
- The big WHY
- And so much more!
