Speaker:
00:00:22
Before we jump into this week's episode,
Speaker:
00:00:26
I just wanna make a quick announcement
Speaker:
00:00:27
that this is episode 50 of One Minute Podcast Tips.
Speaker:
00:00:30
So thank you to you, the listeners,
Speaker:
00:00:31

Speaker:
00:00:33
and for everyone that supports,
Speaker:
00:00:34
either through reviews, sharing the show,
Speaker:
00:00:36
through tips, or the Magic Mic membership.
Speaker:
00:00:39
Here's to the next 50.
Speaker:
00:00:40
Now, on with this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:42
When it comes to growing your podcast,
Speaker:
00:00:44
understand that analytics is key
Speaker:
00:00:46
to helping you identify where you're succeeding
Speaker:
00:00:48
and where your show needs a little bit of help.
Speaker:
00:00:50
Now, generally, you'll get your analytics
Speaker:
00:00:51
from your podcast host.
Speaker:
00:00:53
However, some podcast hosts
Speaker:
00:00:54
do offer more analytics than others.
Speaker:
00:00:56
So if you don't have a lot of analytics at your host,
Speaker:
00:00:58
you can also get Spotify for Podcasters,
Speaker:
00:01:00
Apple's Podcast Connect,
Speaker:
00:01:01
and Amazon for Podcasters data as well.
Speaker:
00:01:04
There's also tools like Chartable and Podtrac
Speaker:
00:01:06
that allow you to get some extra data.
Speaker:
00:01:08
However, if you don't have access to any of these,
Speaker:
00:01:10
or your podcast host is a little bit lacking
Speaker:
00:01:12
when it comes to analytics,
Speaker:
00:01:13
there's a great free platform
Speaker:
00:01:14
called Open Podcast Prefix Project.
Speaker:
00:01:17
Now that's a little bit of a mouthful,
Speaker:
00:01:18
so it's just called OP3 for short.
Speaker:
00:01:20
OP3 is an open source project from John Spurlock,
Speaker:
00:01:23
and it's a really nice way to give you
Speaker:
00:01:24
more information about your podcast. Now, given, your podcast host needs to support
Speaker:
00:01:29
the OP3 prefix but most of them do now so that's good. Some of the information
Speaker:
00:01:33
that OP3 gives you is your normal stuff so downloads in the last 7 days, 30 days,
Speaker:
00:01:37
all-time and unique audience. It can also break that down by the last month and
Speaker:
00:01:41
archive dates as well but it also gives you information like top US metros, top
Speaker:
00:01:45
Canadian regions, top Latin American regions, top European regions, top Asian
Speaker:
00:01:50
regions, top devices, top device types, top browsers and referrers, and allows you
Speaker:
00:01:55
to download this information and create your own personalized reports. It also
Speaker:
00:01:59
strips out any bots so if your host isn't IAB Certified it gives you more
Speaker:
00:02:03
accurate data than your podcast host would. Again it's a really cool little
Speaker:
00:02:06
resource and it's absolutely free. You can learn more about OP3 at op3.dev and
Speaker:
00:02:11
I'll leave a link to the site in the show notes so be sure to check them out after
Speaker:
00:02:14
the episode. Until the next time, happy podcasting!
Speaker:
00:02:19
