• 156. Downloads or Listens? Which one is more important to author podcasters?
    Mar 14 2025

    As an author podcaster, your goal is to serve your listeners well, invite them to join your email list, and to buy your book long before and long after it releases.

    So how do you measure success on your podcast? You might be surprised to learn that download numbers are only a vanity metric of podcasting. They feel good, but they're not telling you the whole story.

    So let’s talk about the importance of the consumption rate, and how much of your episode your target reader is really listening to.
