I didn’t reach my download numbers goal…and I thought I was embarrassed about it, but I’m actually not. I didn’t take my own advice about goals around download numbers and it shows. In this episode I talk about: How many download numbers I got last month How much money I made as a podcaster  How close I am to my podcast coaching call goal You’ll also hear about the experiments that I tried out last month. Which ones worked and which ones didn’t. Along with the experiments that I’m trying in November. Topics discussed: Podcast marketing strategy Podcast download numbers Tips on starting a podcast Experimentation in podcasting Podcast SEO Advice for starting a podcast My favorite takeaways from this episode are:  It isn’t a good idea to have a goal around download numbers until you have at least a couple of podcast seasons under your belt Experimenting with your podcast is the fastest way for your podcast to improve Not every experiment is going to work for your show, and that’s okay!
