What Goes into a Successful Podcast?

Know who your target audience is and know what they want.
Give it to them via audio that is not distracting
Use a consistent schedule so they can add you to their routine
Your content should be so good it inspires people to tell their friends.
Don’t quit
Don’t worry about making money for three years.
Don’t OBSESS about your stats
Focus on your audience.

The math of podcast downloads is

Total Number of downloads = Value X Promotion If you promote an episode that has no value, your results are pointless. If you deliver value but don’t promote it (and by that I mean you might have to get out of your chair) then your podcast will grow slowly.
