Description

Are podcast downloads really the best way to measure success? Not even close.

In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down the 5 podcast results that actually move the needle — the ones that help you grow your email list, generate qualified leads, and turn listeners into paying customers.

If you’re tired of refreshing your analytics and wondering why your download numbers aren’t translating into business growth, this episode is going to change how you look at your podcast.

Inside this episode:

  • Why podcast downloads are a vanity metric (and what to track instead)
  • How to grow your email list directly from your podcast episodes
  • Using lead magnets like quizzes and playlists to convert listeners
  • Attracting qualified leads (not just more listeners)
  • Re-engaging a cold email list with strategic podcast content
  • The most important podcast metrics to measure: listener retention, opt-ins, conversions, and more


Timestamps:

  • 01:18 - Building Your Email List Through Podcasting
  • 06:08 - Attracting Qualified Leads for Your Business
  • 08:31 - Mapping the Customer Journey
  • 10:24 - Revitalizing Your Email List

Whether you’re an experienced podcaster or just starting to treat your show like a marketing tool, this episode gives you the framework to start tracking what actually works.
