How to avoid failing as a PodcasterPodcasting has become a popular medium for sharing knowledge, stories, and ideas. However, it's no secret that many podcasts fail to gain traction and eventually fade away. In this episode, we will explore the 10 most common reasons why podcasts fail and provide valuable insights on how to avoid these pitfalls. Whether you're a seasoned podcaster or just starting, understanding these reasons can help you create a successful podcast that stands out from the 90% of podcasters who fail. Giving Your Podcast Enough Time to Generate Momentum The first reason why many podcasts fail is that the host didn't give them enough time to generate momentum and become a regular part of their audience's day-to-day. Starting a podcast is not a guarantee of instant success. Like any endeavor, it takes time and consistency to build an audience. Understanding this and having patience can help you stick with podcasting even during the early stages. In data collected by The Actively Established Podcast Report: Rephonic and Podmatch, only 10% of podcasters who launch a show make it to 50 episodes = one full year of weekly episodes.
