From networking to episode completion rates, we're covering six key metrics that will give you a 360-degree view of your show's performance.

Beyond Downloads

We all want to see our podcasts grow, but focusing solely on download numbers can be a one-dimensional and often discouraging approach. That's why it's crucial to look at your podcast as an extension of your brand and business. By keeping an eye on these six metrics, you'll not only gauge the health of your podcast but also find new avenues for growth and engagement.

6 Ways To Measure Podcast Growth

Networking and Relationship Building: Hosting interviews? You're already expanding your network. Track meaningful connections and collaborations that can lead to speaking opportunities, business deals, and friendships.
Episode Completion Rate: Log into Apple Podcasts Connect to find out how much of your episodes your audience is actually listening to. A growing completion rate indicates a more engaged audience.
Social Media Engagement: If your social media metrics are on the rise, it's a sign that your podcast is resonating with people. Track DMs, comments, and shares to measure this.
Listener Ratings and Reviews: Keep an eye on those five-star reviews and comments. They're not just ego-boosters; they're indicators of a growing and appreciative audience.
Listener Conversions: Are you driving traffic to your digital products or courses? Track clicks and sales to measure how effectively your podcast serves as a marketing tool.
Email List Growth: Your email list is a direct line to your audience. If it's growing because of your podcast, you're on the right track.
