S1 55. 1 Year of Podcasting: Has it Been Worth it? Wins, Lessons, and Data Beyond Downloads

One Year Running a Podcast as an EntrepreneurOver the past 12 months, I've clocked in 54 episodes of The Podcast Space’s podcast. The journey as a business owner and a podcast strategist has been an insightful, transparent, and imperfect one. I've gleaned what has worked and what hasn't, and in this episode, I’ll share my insights, wins, and pitfalls I encountered - because to work as a strategist for other businesses is one thing, and to do it all myself is a completely different one.As a podcast strategist, marketing expert, and unofficial cheerleader for impact-driven entrepreneurs, I always seek to uplift your podcast journey – nudging you to pay attention to key indicators and ignore your inner impostors. Having said that, the pertinent question still stands – Is podcasting an effective tool to build your business and online authority?Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Expectations00:32 A Year in Review: Podcasting Journey02:43 Breaking Down the Podcasting Process05:00 Setting Goals and Adjusting Expectations06:39 The Power of Experimentation10:17 Celebrating Wins and Overcoming Challenges18:45 Impact of Podcasting on Business Growth22:36 The Future of Podcasting: Final Thoughts24:54 Building Authority and Relationships in Podcasting25:14 The Power of Podcasting and Networking25:59 Achieving Success in Podcasting26:04 The Impact of Podcast Consumption Rates26:54 The Unexpected Wins in Podcasting30:05 The Challenges and Surprises in Podcasting30:14 The Role of YouTube in Podcasting31:54 The Struggles with Burnout in Podcasting34:31 The Anxiety of Interviewing Guests35:41 The Exhaustion of Video Podcasting38:10 Analyzing Podcast Data and Popular Episodes45:42 The Impact of SEO and Long-Term Growth in Podcasting45:53 Celebrating One Year of Podcasting and Looking ForwardResources mentioned in this episode:Let's work together to grow your podcast.
