1. Hard consistency.
2. Analytics bad.
3. Start not right.
4. Social media bad guest forum stage.
5. Reviews.
I honestly the most important point is to never stop. I think so many people like you said will Pod Fade so if you don't stop you'll have an edge on your competitors.

It’s called “pod-cast” so in essence I agree with your theory as to “cast” your “pod”(line/ fishing rod) again and again, you do increase your chances of “catching” more. 😎 🍻
well put. to add: and this is why those who are successful are, you got it!
Klk manito. Good call. Don’t stop, plan ahead and play the long game. 👍🏿 🇩🇴
Very refreshing to hear a more successful person say how difficult it is to stay consistent. So many people say to stay consistent, but don't admit how hard it really is. Thank you!

True
When I was doing daily videos on tou tube it was fine. Work from 7:30 til 5pm, shoot on the way to work and to home, then stay up till 2 or three editing. Didn't do it for long, everything else in my life changed and the CBFs took hold
I have been meaning to do a podcast for 4 years, but here I am not.
Being an anxious person, and I know things are about to change with a a kid maybe on the way( another story) and moving/buying a house and I am anxious about not continuing to produce stuff. The starting doesn't bother me the failing does.
If you know what I mean.
Right before covid I put out a casting call for a general you tube sketch channel and vlog( fat and ordinary, since that is how I feel much of the time) got a really good response and had already written scripts for about 15 stories about working in retail as a smart arse. I had 9 people fully committed to come on board and it was going to be fun....
Now.....meh.
I am a bit older, a bit fatter, a bit more ordinary.
Just saying.
I will put my mini violin away now. 😜
@@nunchuckfilms - never say never. you sound like you have stories to tell. I'm sure others would listen. After, I read your msg.
@@nunchuckfilms you can still do it
Serious TRUTH about the social media part. If you’re early in your journey too most of your social media following is just your friends and they’ll already listen... or they don’t care because they’ve already heard all of your insight 🤷🏽♂️😄
I mean it's a good reminder for them to check out the show they already know, but other than that, it's not a huge win.
If I ever start one, I do not want my fam/friends to even know about it :D
@@anjanaa89sa lol! That could be a good thing. You could create with no restrictions. But like Gary V always says.. don’t worry about what others think. Just make stuff. 💪🏾
@@iamjasonthompson I actually don't care about what others think & proceed doing what I wanna do which makes my fam/friends reach out and share advice asking me to be conditioned like them and please the society and the elders in it :D May be I am just another hypocrite :p
@@anjanaa89sa hehe. Good for you. It’s tough. I just think it’s hard to please society and elders and keep the freedom of creative expression. I’ve had a parent tell me to “be careful” because my community/society is watching. What’s lame is those who censor themselves for people who aren’t supporting their creativity will never move forward. It’s a waste of time in my opinion.
Consistency is kind of a no brainer but it is so important no matter what type of content you’re creating
I finally took the leap and launched my first podcast "Faithfully Confident with Courtney Berry" and I'm so sad it took me so long to launch it. I was worried I'd have pod-fade and worried I wouldn't be consistent. After launching, I had NO IDEA you could schedule episodes out lol.... good grief!
I searched for it and couldn’t find it
I’ll subscribe to it!
What’s it on?
Yhygy
Just subscribed keep going 💗
I started podcasting today and came to know about it. I felt bored a bit but I wanted to create a personal brand of my channel, therefore I decided to be consistent. I will spend daily 1 hour for writing the script and making the podcast recording and editing. Therefore I won't stop my new hobby i.e. story telling. Thank you for your video. Though I want to make money from that as a side hustle but before doing that I have to make good episodes so that the listeners may rise.
Don't forget that if you use hashtags and post more often, post stories often you will get new people on social media.
This Video was Awesomeness, “You build it and they will come” priceless.
1:00 Podcast Analytics are Terrible
2:15: Just Starting a Podcast Does Not Guarantee Listeners
3:25: Creating Content Consistently is Hard
4:40 Social Media is Bad Strategy for Audience Growth
6:35 Reviews Are Tough to Get
Thank you very much, it's so insightful 😃
Thanks, man. Sending an individual recording to listeners for a review is a golden idea.
You probably (definitely) don't remember this but we met in person at Target YEARS ago and you encouraged me to start a podcast way back then, I hate that I didn't listen! My wife and I finally found our niche and are starting one up this year =) nice to see you still trucking!
I started a podcast 3 days ago and this video was very well timed for me. Thank you so much for your advice.
What's it called ?
Can see you posted this 6months ago...how is it going?
@@lulusaidi6629 Hi Lulu, it's not going well. I stopped the podcast last year. However, I think I want to try again, and really push it out to my followers.
All the best. Second time’s a charm...if I may ask what are the lessons youve learnt from the last time?
@@lulusaidi6629 Thank you for your support. I’d say don’t do it alone or find somewhere you can post the episodes and get feedback. None of the podcasting platforms allow for commenting so unlike UA-cam, it can be very hard to get feedback. Feedback can usually motivate you to carry on as well which is something I was missing out on a lot.
This is so interesting and encouraging. I honestly felt burnt out at the 11th or 12th episodes, and it really created a lot of self-doubts about the value of my content. Thanks for the great tips. It really helps getting back to the work I so love.
This has been my favorite episode so far! Really enjoyed towards the end about reaching out directly to a fan. Thank you for all the great info!
As usual, your message and delivery are to the point, clear and not sugar-coating the TRUTH. You have saved me lots of future losses and frustration. Thank you Pat.
Pat, I love your one-on-one idea of reaching out to viewers. That's brilliant! I'm a writer and online seller, so I already know that trying to get reviews/ratings is like pulling teeth. Thanks for the video! 😊
My brother and I barely know each other and decided we're going to get to know each other while recording a Podcast. It should be fun! This video was very helpful, now I will be able to develop a strategy to get listeners and keep them!
Thanks, Pat! I discovered your SPI podcast a month ago and have been absorbing it daily. I'm a burnt out college teacher ready to try something new. I've decided to start a podcast where I talk to physics educators and share their strategies and insights with the teaching community. I just scheduled my first interview today! This is really happening!! A month ago I couldn't have even imagined doing a podcast at all. Thanks for everything you are putting out there. Even "bad news" like you shared in this video isn't enough to get me down. Those seem like reasonable hurdles to overcome, but I'm glad to know about them early.
Hi! Excuse me, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you how thing have been going for you! I'm interested in starting one soon and wanted to know how things have changed since your start up! Thank you in advance for any helpful insight.
Hey thanks for the info! When I learned about podcasting (a conference training) consistency was brought to the forefront as a challenge (I've already seen it in shows that I like/would like). I appreciate that you named reviews and showed that a quick video message (also thinking that a voice message via FB) is a great option to reach out personally and make the ask. Thank you.
These tips are good! I have to re listen & take notes as I started a podcast. I’m on episode 2 and for me I want to stay consistent! So I’m glad Pat talked about that.
What the name of your podcast?
How's your podcast going?
How is it doing now
How's your podcast doing so far?
We have now been a podcast for almost 6 months, and there are definitely days where it feels like its not working. But, we have never considered quitting, just over a year after this video, and this will be extremely helpful. Thank you!
Keep grinding it'll pop soon. I just started mine and only on Pandora rn
How did it work out?
Don't quit!
This is so helpful Pat thank you so much. I actually just started a podcast last Sunday.
Thanks for this. The most important aspect for me was marketing tips. I have started 5 companies through my life, all but the last failed due to under-cap and dismal marketing. (I had to shut down the last due to finally being overwhelmed by life--long brain disfunction.) I write and record songs so I already have the recording/editing studio - the discussion and advice here (and the links) are helpful. This is not the only podcast tutorial I am watching, but you do present information and encouragement. Thanks.
Just wanna say thank you. 🙏 I'm trying to start my own podcast and you making this video giving me some tips and advice really helps. I appreciate it.
Much appreciated all of the gold that you dropped here! Excited to implement them
This is very helpful. Just getting ready to started mine and doing research. So appreciate the “what doesn’t work “ at the beginning of the journey. Consistency is a big takeaway. Thanks so much!
This helped a lot, especially the Review point. My husband and I have been talking about starting a podcast.
Thank you so much! I really wanted to start a podcast this is a big help!
From 🇵🇭 here
Thank you for sharing these tips. Have a great weekend!
We are watching and learning from our Post Secondary School in Lincoln Park, MI. We enjoyed your tips and tricks. Some of the tips that really stuck out to us are the following: Just because you start a podcast, doesn't mean people will listen; Replying with personal message when asking for a review is a great strategy, Social media shouldn't be our only avenue to gain more listeners. Thank you for a great video. We learned a lot!!!
My brother and I have completed our 1st podcast but we are still trying figure things out. This has helped us out a lot
That was really helpful Pat. I've found lots of advice about purchasing and using equipment for starting up a podcast, but I wanted practical advice about the journey, and that's what you gave. Many Thanks.
Thanks Pat, I’ve been on a podfade every since I started a business in 2018 and I began dealing with #3. I even had your player, it’s the 💩 ! Thanks for all the content you push out, in this episode all 5 tips were helpful, I’ve had a intuitive feeling that #4 is correct as well so thanks for sharing the plug for the PK site👊🏽😎
Appreciate the video Pat...I am starting my own podcast and this was super valuable! Thanks!
Funny story, my therapist actually assigned me the task of creating a podcast because we've been going back and forth about what kind of job I want because the jobs I've had aren't ones I love.
Good advice!!
Did you ever do it? Just curious
I am also curious!
Pat, as always, You Are Awesome. Your generosity to others, your kind spirit, and your wealth of information is so impressive and helpful. Thanks again, David, your SD neighbor (Encinitas)
This is mind blowing video, I enjoyed watching every single frame of it and I found tons of valuable infos in it! Thank you very much for sharing this dude 🤓🤟🏼
Thanks Pat, I’m just trying to get started. Planning content and launch.
Thank you for an entertaining, informative and insightful VT. I shall download your kind offer of a crib sheet as well. Gr8 work.
I like it - no click bait title, does what it says on the tin, clear and informative. Great stuff !!
Thanks for these tips, Pat. I'm on my THIRD podcast and STILL looking for ways to get a consistent audience. At this point, I think the "being a guest" tip is probably the best that I haven't tried yet.
I often wonder why anyone would be willing to have a person who isn't famous or popular on their podcast( I am speaking of me)
But that just may be the little inner voice that likes to beat me down that sounds suspiciously like my mother.
@@nunchuckfilms my friend and I just started one, we are planning on having different friends and family in to have them talk about something that’s important to them that they’d like to bring attention to
Thank you for being so complete in what you do that you do not care to share with others. Big help,
Getting ready to launch multiple podcasts and this is definitely helpful thanks!
Thanks for letting me know about this
Really good advice! My friend and I are starting a sports podcast, and this gave me some ideas about how to reach out to our niche target audience of local sports fans. Thanks again!!
Thank you so very much, Pat. I appreciate all of the time and hard work that you given for so many years. Cheers!
Thank you so much Pat Stay Blessed and keep Growing the way you want to, Reach more success peaks I am about to start a podcast and just got best lessons today from you. 🙏🙌

Thanks for the info. We will be using this in our new show.
so helpful. Thank you PAt. Thinking of starting a Podcast, and this is gold xx
In the process of starting mine now thank you for this video.
My first lesson on this journey I am considering taking which was very helpful thank you - on to more of your content now in the full knowledge that there are no magic wands to build your audience, just persistence, focus and discipline.
Thanks Pat!
I appreciate you Marko!

Thank you Pat! Your energy is contagious and I love it. Your information was presented beautifully especially the little recap at the end. Cheers!!
I appreciate the work you put into this video, it truly helps. God bless!
I love this. Thank you I am looking to start my podcast in January as I am planning ahead with content...as you suggested. cheers
I just started my podcast and have one episode out. Thank you for the advice! If anyone is interested, the first season is focusing on the TEA take over in Houstonisd. It is very wild what is going on especially with the new superintendent. It is called: Lessons & Whispers: Inside the Teacher's Corner.
The last point about to reach out personally anyone who liked your podcast - so good tip
Thanks Pat. Already hit Podcast Fade. But managed to bounce back and already taking steps to get onto other shows.
Just want to say you are awesome. Thank you for the help. Me and my family are starting a new podcast and we're extremely nervous. This helped alot.
Thank you putting this together. Very helpful and encouraging for those of us thinking to start one
thanks mate! great food for thought for our podcast.
This is great I have not started yet but it looks like what I want to do is podcasting so getting tips and recommendations to further understand the field helps a lot to make the right choices before starting. Thank you!
You’re great, I’ve been watching all your videos. Starting a podcast (launch May 11) and recording episodes now. Thank you and wish me luck!! 🙏☺️
Thanks for this bro. All success to u man
Sweet! Going to research more and plan thanks for the advice.
Thanks for this video! The time to begin for my podcast is approaching! These are some great tips!
Thanks Pat!!!
Thanks, Pat. Like all you content. Starting a cosmetic dentistry podcast and you are helping immensely.
The most helpful step I got is the step process. Sending personal videos after having gotten them to reply is something I could apply in my business. Thanks for this video, I'm about starting my podcast journey, this may go a long way, so thanks again.
Thanks man!! God bless you for sharing your wisdom.
We are fairly new to the podcast world, this was definitely very helpful! Thanks Pat !!
Pat, This was so informative and upfront. I am about to start a podcast and your perspective just shifted me in a new lane of thinking! Thanks, Pat
Thank you for the tips. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks Pat for your valuable words!
Thank You Pat Flynn! I going to start a podcast and your advice is so valuable to a beginner. And thanks for the free cheat sheet. I will be watching more of your videos in the future.
Wow!!!
You went beyond my expectations!!!
Thank you for the valuable advise!
Great info, like always! Thanks Pat!
Thank you for very truthful and realistic explanation on how it works. I encountered all of those points myself, and stuck on them as was not prepared. It is huge illusion that it is a very easy process. You have to be very well equipped with knowledge, hard work and patience to be successful.
I’m about to start my own podcast and this video has been SO HELPFUL. Thanks.
We’ll done! Thank you for not only listing the “5”, but also providing suggestions.
I really appreciate this, Pat! I'm excited to get started.
Pick a topic that you follow passionately since podfade happens the most with topics that you stop researching/not interested in outside of broadcasting. it absolutely shows when a podcast host is doing it as ‘work’ vs doing it as a passion project.
Also if you’re enrolled at a university/community college I would HIGHLY recommend taking a public speaking class(confidence boosting and projective speaking techniques) and/or a broadcasting class. It takes so much longer parsing through the countless “10 THINGS I WISH THEY TOLD ME” videos on UA-cam because most of the time, it’s all the same anecdotal advice lazily reworded rather than elaborating further using quality sourced information. The academic environment helps me internalize what I learned vs copying the processes of another UA-camr and wondering why it sucks when it doesn’t come out the way I wanted.
This video helps a lot. Me and my Best friends are going to start a podcast, and you making video like this helps a lot.We appreciate your help. Thanks, keep up the good the amazing work.
Thanks Pat, I appreciate the honesty.
Thank you. This was very helpful. I am planning on starting a podcast next month.
Appreciate this, will be sure to remember these thoroughly. God bless
really helpful I'm new to podcasting. to be honest I'm very nerves in the middle of doing my first. the one thing I'm worrying about is editing. thank you for your advice 😁
Im glad i watched this video being that im planning to start a podcast focusing on health care professional and building wealth this gave me a real insight on what i need to focus on. Thank you!!!!
Thanks Pat!
The last one is most much helpful for me.
This video was do very helpful in the process of starting a podcast & doing research before I just jump in
Sooo good! Thanks Pat. I’m launching my podcast tomorrow.
Thank you for this information. I appreciate you so much!
thanks bruh... I learned something i'm not expecting...Congo you got one more follower
Thank you Pat for the great advice, I've been working on my Podcast for about 6 months and you advice was great!
I'm just starting, and I started w/you and this podcast on the five things to know. Excellent. Thanks. I'll be in touch.
This was really helpful to start my podcast. Thank you!
Thanks for the info! I recorded my first episode today and uploading this weekend. 😊👍
I think number 5 was probably the best advice out of the 5 items given in this video. I am just trying to learn how to start a podcast and this video was helpful.
