And now, this week's episode.

Speaker:

One of the questions I see a lot of online

Speaker:

for new podcasters especially,

Speaker:

is how many episodes to launch a new show with.

Speaker:

And the answers I see can be varied

Speaker:

from just the one episode of your trailer to 10 episodes so people can binge on it.

Speaker:

And to be honest the answer is maybe somewhere in between.

Speaker:

A good idea is to launch a trailer before the main podcast launch.

Speaker:

That way you can make sure your show is approved on various podcast apps

Speaker:

and you can use it as a teaser and promo slot for the upcoming show.

Speaker:

After that, generally about 2-3 episodes is really good.

Speaker:

That way you're giving new listeners a taste of your show

Speaker:

but you're not overwhelming them with too many episodes that they'll lose interest

Speaker:

or make them think I don't have time for this at the moment.

Speaker:

Remember, podcast listeners time is finite, so yes, get them interested but don't overwhelm them.

Speaker:

Until the next time, happy podcasting.
