Happy Podtober! In honor of my favorite month, I'm celebrating my birthday, podcast anniversary, and more with a fun scorecard, a FLASH SALE, and marking it all with a reflection on my podcast's success and growth over the last 2 years.
In today's episode, I'm sharing the questions I ask myself to determine whether my show is successful, what I track to measure that success, and the growth strategies that have worked for me. I also break down how I view podcast growth and the subcategories I consider.

Okay, so to wrap up this episode, I would love for you to take a few minutes to think for yourself. Number one, how do you even define success for your podcast? Like what does podcast success mean to you? Is it downloads is it email list growth? Is it direct purchases? Is it that relationship building with your listeners what would have to happen In order for you to say my podcast is a success, and number two, what has worked for you so far? In the past to find this type of success? Think about, okay, when have people actually opted into that freebie that I shared? Or when have people bought that TBT resource that I shared on the podcast? Or when have people shared a particular episode on social media? What was working to get those results? And what is something new that you can try to really continue that success and increase that success.
