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. 😎 🍻
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!
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. 😜
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 😃
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.
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 🤷🏽♂️😄
@@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.
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!
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!
My brothers and I just launched our podcast a couple of months ago, just posting weekly. We have no plans to stop, but it's safe to say we're past that honeymoon phase! Thanks Pat.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Hi Pat. Your point about lousy analytics has been frustrating. Your tip about using a personal video message for reviews is fantastic. I will do that. Thank you.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
Oh the honesty! I agree with everything you said. 2.5 years and 122 episodes of content later, you really need to know why you're doing it to keep going, especially if it's not bringing in any money. Thanks for the video.
New to UA-cam and want to start a podcast and so happy this video popped up in my feed. This was very helpful and I love the honesty.😊 Thank you so much.!
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!!!!
Hi I watched your video on what UA-cam does not tell you about starting a podcast. I am not, however I am beginning to record some videos of myself reading books to my Granddaughters. Your video was very informative, professional and I can imagine painfully true . 👍
These are wonderful tips that will definitely help new podcasters avoid reinventing the wheel! I had attempted multiple other podcasts before starting YAP and keeping up with the demand for content is definitely noteworthy for those who want to start their own journey. It requires a lot of research, planning and a great cost of time, but it is WORTH IT! Getting reviews is also GREAT for engagement! Don't doubt the power of a review! Great video Pat :)
Live-streaming a new video podcast and sharing it to highly active group that relative to your topic is a great way to jumpstart your podcast, just remember to ask your listeners to share the stream to their favorite group on something like Facebook. Live streaming is a huge bonus especially if you can get the live chat active so it boostsyou seo. My dream is starting an interview style podcast using a combination of video and live streaming, the fans can offer good questions to ask your guests via the live chat, and If their question is used it will likely boost the engagement in the live chat other fans will hopeyou pick their question as the interview progresses just make sure to acknowledge the person asking the question on whatever platform you’re streaming on. Good idea?
Plus ppl can tip you money to help boost your podcast if you reinvest any money given to you by fans who are awesome enough to help financially support it. 🙂
Hi I've just started doing a podcast and am trying to reach out and get more listeners. just came across your UA-cam video. About 5 things they dont tell was very helpful. I would like to thank you and hope to watch more and learn more. To grow
Great vid, just one UPDATED info for #4: Now with tiktok and IG reels its good to use social media since viewers from even people who dont follow you will now see your content. Goodluck
@@shravanitonge1589 anchor.fm/infinty/episodes/Tough-Time-Vs-Tough-People-e12np1a It's in Hindi, looking forward to get some valuable insights from you. Are you a podcaster too?
It's crazy that there aren't any good podcast analytics. I could see why I guess, considering how many different places people can listen to them. I would think it'd have been overcome by now, but clearly not.
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!!!
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.
I gained a following on tiktok b4 I started my podcast and tik tok has helped me grow a lot. The other SM platforms however, I completely agree. "Not Your Average Devotional" - podcast
thank you for sharing your knowledge. i am about to start something ... tdb (🤣 i've seen the office a few times) and i believe that i'll be watching/binging your content going forward. so thank you again!
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👊🏽😎
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! 😊
Hey Pat, just listened to the show, very helpful thank you. I haven't started a podcast yet, but this was very helpful. I will be checking out more of your videos.
I feel this. I started a podcast in July. I am a schoolteacher specifically 6th graders. I am physically and mentally exhausted. My podcast is a true crime podcast and I have my twin sister jump on every now and then as a guest. I sleep for 2hrs on Fridays, from 3:00am until I am done, with the rest of the material. I have to research the material and it's not the easiest thing. I am also grading on the weekends. I know eventually it will pay off, but I give it my all because I really want my podcast to be successful. THIS IS HARD AF THOUGH BUT IF YOU WANT IT, YOU WILL GET THERE. No one helped me start it. Friends and Family were not willing to put in the work. I said Fuck it this is my dream and I have to put in the work. The researching part and the case you are going to speak about requires a lot of reading. Oh, also running the material on a separate Instagram account for the podcast where I post about the episodes. It is a lot and I do this all on my own. Thank You for providing this. I feel like yes, I get some listens, but this is anxiety to the max. I will be utilizing the tactics you provided so thank you. I love it when a few people are willing to share information. I know podcasting is competitive therefore a lot of people are not willing to help the competition which why can't we exist in the same space? We all can and shall help each other out especially the ones who are starting from nothing but fire and passion.
Thank you for the information I am trying to start a podcast let's see how it goes I will be reaching out to you for information thank you for sharing your knowledge
As someone literally just starting out doing a little nerdy podcast with my brother, these tips are invaluable. Definitely will be trying to keep a lot of this in mind and trying a few of these techniques out.
Video response to comments on other platforms was my favorite that could probably increase value and follower/subscriber relationship across all platforms with that approach!
I am 3 episodes in on mine and just getting them longer is a struggle lol i am battling covid but i am trying to at least put content out for my viewers i feel like i am letting them down if i don't let them hear my voice even when sick. Thank you sir. Will use this
You are awesome and knowledgeable. Im a hypnotherapist and thought that being great at a skill like mine was enough, but marketing is an art too. I’m glad for all the talents everyone has. God bless🙏🏼
hey pat, i just posted my first audio podcast today. i was confident about it while i was editing but over all i was nervous as hell as this is completely new to me. and i understand you have to become a disaster before you can become a master. ive watched a fair few of your videos to help me before i posted. but the over all nerves from just posting it, the nerves are getting to me now. how did you over come those nerves when you first started ?
Reps. Just keep doing it, and know that every time you put yourself out there there's now more of a chance someone will find it and find value in it. That's not going to happen if you just hold it in. You got this!
Thanks for this great video! I launched my podcast last year called "RACE RELATIONS PODCAST" and have been experiencing a lot of pod fade due to difficulties in creating content. But I am going to try and shake it off!
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.
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 🤓🤟🏼
Point 5 was the most illuminating. Send a video request for a review. The other four points are powerful. It is handy to know that the metrics are not very useful. I am not starting a podcast. The topics, however, are as good for a UA-cam Channel as they are for anything other broadcasting methods. Am I correct?😁
Thank you for making this video. I know it's an old video for you, but I still wanted to share my appreciation. My friends are constantly after me to start a podcast or write a book. One finally got me to agree to "at least look into it." You have saved me much frustration! I had no idea the time put into it, and this is not for me. I wouldn't Pod Fade after a month, I'd Pod Pass Out! Just one day snap "Nope!" and be done with it all. Yours was the first and only video I needed on the subject! Thank you for doing what you do!
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.
Podkit.com pure gold! + Getting people who don't know me yet. Been mainly focused on my followers/network, definitely going broader thank you pat!! you rocks!
Thank you SO much for this video, and I'll be digging deeper into your library for more. My fiance is starting a podcast and we've been lent an entire, giant box of gear which we have zero idea how to use. This podcast gives us a heads-up about avoiding the five pitfalls mentioned. Thanks again!
Hey Pat - I just watched and for sure, I'm a beginner! Thank you for these 5 tips on podcasts, you've given more confidence already! I also subscribed to your UA-cam channel.
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.

Thank you for this video. My sister is just story planning for a new UA-cam channel and plans to Pod cast it. I shared this video with her.
Great vid, just one UPDATED info for #4: Now with tiktok and IG reels its good to use social media since viewers from even people who dont follow you will now see your content. Goodluck
I'm getting prepared to start a podcast soon and this was so helpful! Thank you for making this video :)
What’s it called?

It's in Hindi, looking forward to get some valuable insights from you. Are you a podcaster too?
Did uh started your podcast?
It's crazy that there aren't any good podcast analytics. I could see why I guess, considering how many different places people can listen to them. I would think it'd have been overcome by now, but clearly not.
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.
Sooo good! Thanks Pat. I’m launching my podcast tomorrow.
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!!!
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!
I like it - no click bait title, does what it says on the tin, clear and informative. Great stuff !!
I gained a following on tiktok b4 I started my podcast and tik tok has helped me grow a lot. The other SM platforms however, I completely agree. "Not Your Average Devotional" - podcast
thank you for sharing your knowledge. i am about to start something ... tdb (🤣 i've seen the office a few times) and i believe that i'll be watching/binging your content going forward. so thank you again!
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👊🏽😎
This helped a lot, especially the Review point. My husband and I have been talking about starting a podcast.
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! 😊
Hey Pat, just listened to the show, very helpful thank you. I haven't started a podcast yet, but this was very helpful. I will be checking out more of your videos.
I feel this. I started a podcast in July. I am a schoolteacher specifically 6th graders. I am physically and mentally exhausted. My podcast is a true crime podcast and I have my twin sister jump on every now and then as a guest. I sleep for 2hrs on Fridays, from 3:00am until I am done, with the rest of the material. I have to research the material and it's not the easiest thing. I am also grading on the weekends. I know eventually it will pay off, but I give it my all because I really want my podcast to be successful. THIS IS HARD AF THOUGH BUT IF YOU WANT IT, YOU WILL GET THERE. No one helped me start it. Friends and Family were not willing to put in the work. I said Fuck it this is my dream and I have to put in the work. The researching part and the case you are going to speak about requires a lot of reading. Oh, also running the material on a separate Instagram account for the podcast where I post about the episodes. It is a lot and I do this all on my own. Thank You for providing this. I feel like yes, I get some listens, but this is anxiety to the max. I will be utilizing the tactics you provided so thank you. I love it when a few people are willing to share information. I know podcasting is competitive therefore a lot of people are not willing to help the competition which why can't we exist in the same space? We all can and shall help each other out especially the ones who are starting from nothing but fire and passion.
Where are you posting your podcast? I would love to have a listen.
Thank You so much. The podcast is called MBP murder, blood, and psychopaths. I appreciate it so much. Thank You.

Podkite is great. Also, Chartable is pretty good. I used both for a while.
Thank you for the information I am trying to start a podcast let's see how it goes I will be reaching out to you for information thank you for sharing your knowledge
So practical and clever ! Im about to start my own podcast interview and Tik tok so this ... Will help me a lot !! Thx from France !^^
As someone literally just starting out doing a little nerdy podcast with my brother, these tips are invaluable. Definitely will be trying to keep a lot of this in mind and trying a few of these techniques out.
Have you thought about some music to introduce your show?
@@ProducerDanUSA Yeah we have intro music that plays in each episode
Video response to comments on other platforms was my favorite that could probably increase value and follower/subscriber relationship across all platforms with that approach!
Hmmm you are so right! Sharing your podcast on socials is only going to get you so far. 👍
That social media is bad for audience growth. I never knew that and I'm starting a podcast soon. Thanks!!!
I am 3 episodes in on mine and just getting them longer is a struggle lol i am battling covid but i am trying to at least put content out for my viewers i feel like i am letting them down if i don't let them hear my voice even when sick. Thank you sir. Will use this
You are awesome and knowledgeable. Im a hypnotherapist and thought that being great at a skill like mine was enough, but marketing is an art too.
I’m glad for all the talents everyone has. God bless🙏🏼
Thank you. This was very helpful. I am planning on starting a podcast next month.
hey pat, i just posted my first audio podcast today. i was confident about it while i was editing but over all i was nervous as hell as this is completely new to me. and i understand you have to become a disaster before you can become a master. ive watched a fair few of your videos to help me before i posted. but the over all nerves from just posting it, the nerves are getting to me now. how did you over come those nerves when you first started ?
Reps. Just keep doing it, and know that every time you put yourself out there there's now more of a chance someone will find it and find value in it. That's not going to happen if you just hold it in. You got this!
@@patflynn thanks pat, i couldnt have made it this far if it wasnt for your advice. i will keep at it no matter what.
Had to leave a review based on your review section of this video!! Thanks so much for letting us on the inside!! ❤️❤️😀
Thanks for this great video! I launched my podcast last year called "RACE RELATIONS PODCAST" and have been experiencing a lot of pod fade due to difficulties in creating content. But I am going to try and shake it off!
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.
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 🤓🤟🏼
Hey I just want to remind that Garyvee has spoken in his video that social media is the key to podcasting. I love your video by the way!
Point 5 was the most illuminating. Send a video request for a review. The other four points are powerful. It is handy to know that the metrics are not very useful. I am not starting a podcast. The topics, however, are as good for a UA-cam Channel as they are for anything other broadcasting methods. Am I correct?😁
Thanks Robert! UA-cam having more access to analytics is a huge plus, but otherwise the tips should be applicable here, too!
All have been helpful as I am about to start mine in South Africa thanks
Thank you for making this video. I know it's an old video for you, but I still wanted to share my appreciation. My friends are constantly after me to start a podcast or write a book. One finally got me to agree to "at least look into it." You have saved me much frustration! I had no idea the time put into it, and this is not for me. I wouldn't Pod Fade after a month, I'd Pod Pass Out! Just one day snap "Nope!" and be done with it all. Yours was the first and only video I needed on the subject! Thank you for doing what you do!
Hi Shera! Were you able to start your own podcast?
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.
Thank you! I'm nowhere close to starting my first episode but this was quite insightful.
Thank you for an entertaining, informative and insightful VT. I shall download your kind offer of a crib sheet as well. Gr8 work.
So true that you can’t share to the same people over and over again
This video was do very helpful in the process of starting a podcast & doing research before I just jump in
Thank you so very much, Pat. I appreciate all of the time and hard work that you given for so many years. Cheers!
Podkit.com pure gold! + Getting people who don't know me yet. Been mainly focused on my followers/network, definitely going broader thank you pat!! you rocks!
Thank you SO much for this video, and I'll be digging deeper into your library for more. My fiance is starting a podcast and we've been lent an entire, giant box of gear which we have zero idea how to use. This podcast gives us a heads-up about avoiding the five pitfalls mentioned. Thanks again!
Hi! Was your fiance able to start his podcast? How is it going?
The consistent part will be tough for me...
Thank you for your insights.
I may pick your brain as I begin this journey if that's ok
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.
love all your tips and esp the one about instagram and asking follower takeaway then dm'ing follower and asking them to review the pod!
Hey Pat - I just watched and for sure, I'm a beginner! Thank you for these 5 tips on podcasts, you've given more confidence already! I also subscribed to your UA-cam channel.
Very thorough, not clickbait e. Thank you much
Thanks for the info! I recorded my first episode today and uploading this weekend. 😊👍
Thank you Pat! I haven’t started yet but this was very insightful and helpful!
Thank you for being so complete in what you do that you do not care to share with others. Big help,
