#149 - 1 Metric You’re Probably Not Looking at Enough
The secret to growing your podcast isn't what most creators think. In this episode, I explain why your consumption rate matters more than your audience size and show you how to find and interpret that data on Apple and Spotify. I’ll also share the simple changes that helped me boost my retention rate, the tweaks that made a bigger impact on my growth than any marketing push.
